The Ten Most Amazing Things From the New Lady Gaga Music Video
A fun list inspired by the best music video for years, by James Brady Ryan in Nerve.com:
Guys, I don’t even know. Can you really “list” something that clearly comes from beyond the borders of our dimension, and may not even adhere to the concepts of mathematics as we know them? YES!
So, the video for Lady Gaga’s new single, “Bad Romance,” is out. (Working title: “Bad Ph’nglui mglw’nafh Cthulhu R’lyeh wgah’nagl fhtagn.”) You can watch it here, and then, once the screaming is done, you can join me for a list of the best/scariest moments from the video itself.
10. Hello Gaga:
Fun fact: this is how Lady Gaga actually sees other people.
Rock (and U.S. Oil Production) Is Dead
From overthinkingit.com:
Many rock purists and music snobs (myself included) often lament the quality of most modern pop/rock music. “Music these days is so trite and derivative,” they say. “It’s just been downhill since the 60’s and 70’s. Those were the days.”

These are the bands of my youth, more or less. The bands I spent my entire paycheck on. The bands I would ride the T up to Boston to see.

Beatles Songs Finally Available Online (Get ‘em While You Can)
Variety reports that dinosaur record company EMI is trying to stop online media company Bluebeat from selling Beatles recordings. The law may be in EMI’s favor so if you want to buy Beatles songs for download online, now may be the time…
An obscure website is brazenly offering the Beatles’ music for sale digitally, much to the dismay of EMI, the group’s record label.
Santa Cruz, Calif.-based BlueBeat.com apparently began marketing the Fab Four tracks — hitherto unavailable from online music merchants — at lowball prices late last week.
EMI, which distribs Beatles recordings via an agreement with the group’s music company, Apple Corps, filed a copyright infringement lawsuit against the company Tuesday in federal court in Los Angeles. Company also issued a curt statement: “EMI has not authorized content to be sold on BlueBeat.”

Shatner/Beatles Mashup: Lucy in the Sky With Diamonds
As a Beatles fan, did read earlier in the week on the passing of Lucy Vodden at age 46, the inspiration behind the classic song.
If William Shatner had a chance to perform with the Fab Four, I hope Lucy would enjoy this:
