In my short 20 minute commute today, I heard Blow Me (One Last Kiss) on the radio THREE times.

...and still no sign of Dark Side.

LOL - I don't see what the problem is. Overall I'm SHADING the NMT video.

I compliment the camera work because it's pretty much all I can compliment. The concept of the video was a mess. It was just TEW much.

Lord, no. NMT is a hideous video in every sense of the word. A disjointed mess looking like three different concepts were lazily stitched together, strangely angled shots marred with horrendous editing that left zero breathing room for a sense of nuance, and an all-around low budget look despite the ACTUAL BUDGET.

Hype Williams should be disposed into an abyss of unemployment.

I will think you're confusing it for the Judas video. ;)

I think the concept itself lacked nuance, or even a story (which, admittedly, is mostly Christina's fault). The camera work itself is stunning and Hype Williams as a shortform pop video director has been slaying the game since the 90s.

Gifs incoming when I get home.

What about the song?

I've said before that I HATE NMT. Terrible first single, and first sign that the project was in trouble.

Sis idek who you think you are fooling with this 'ohh it's too maturrree for TV' thing. I'm pretty sure more mature songs have done better.

Strange, if you're going to dig into Gaga's videography for a POINT, the only valid comparison would be Alejandro.

NO NEED to state how Alejandro made NMT look in regards to cinematography.

What are you talking about? Again with the words in my mouth. I didn't say "mature" I said it to was adult. Think "blinking neon sign in front of 70s porn shop" Adult.

There was just Too much sex. Too pornographic with no point.













But it was beautifully shot.

Umm the Alejandro video was shot well, you made not like the concept but it is a beautiful video

Agreed. The video for Alejandro is gorgeous.

I stand by my belief that Judas is Gaga's messiest, most indulgent, oh-my-god-should-die-in-a-fire video.

She was smelling herself way too much with that one.

For all those JEREMYxMARK STANS out there.

Tonight's show was CRAZY - between Americano and Alejandro most of the dancers start stripping off and doing GAY THINGS.

Mark pulled Jeremy's pants down a little TOO FAR and we saw his SHAFT. The crowd went WILD.

The transition between Americano and Alejandro is definitely for the GEIGHS tbh

I know this will interest SOME OF YOU

They obviously mistakenly heard I'd be in the audience, not knowing I've MOVED. Disaster.

I'm hoping she does her next music video with Klein, or Akerlund.

The HAUS is not CUTTING IT.
Agreed. Get her away from iMovie. She hasn't had a great video since Telephone.
 
Volta was all kinds of meh, but there are a few tracks that are absolutely sublime. "Dull Flame of Desire" is just so >>>>>>>.


And I'm happy you're at least trying, Second. It certainly takes some effort and a close ear. You're doing more than most of the people who dismiss her out of hand.

Indeed. Hang With Me is my song of the week right now. What kind of fuckbuddy anthem?

Vomit. Volta is precisely when I knew that I'd never bother to listen to Bjork's new stuff again.

:( :( :( :(

It's a pretty steady decline after Vespertine, though.

Good tracks on Volta:

Earth Intruders
Wanderlust (especially Ratatat's remix, which is amazing)
Vertebrae by Vertebrae (in which she samples herself from Drawing Restraint 9, I think)
Declare Independence (It's like a baby Pluto :) )

i also like innocence :( don't revoke my popgaf license!

Good tracks on Biophilia:

Crystalline (the single version, not the butchered and flawed album version)
Mutual Core (Flaw Free Audio)

Honorable mention (even though it's technically an older song): Nattura and Switch's remix of Nattura, both free of flaws!
