I have been meaning to blog/write/post music videos about Ms. Marina. Marina and The Diamonds a 23 year old brit who has been causing quite the buzz. She already has four music videos under her belt despite not releasing her debut album, and is number 2 in BBC’s Sound of 2010 list(whatever that is). Regardless the vocals of her songs are very distinct, and unique in comparison to the mainstream Pop scene. Truthfully though being “The Next Best Thing” takes branding. I love her music, and will probably “buy” her album, but she needs to refine her concept if she wants to be marketed towards the zombtween American market. My prediction is that she is going to do well in Great Britain because they actually do appreciate good music over there, but for her to transcend her identity globally she will need to become more visually, and personally distinct from the rest of the pop scene. Though she does seem to fit in with the rest of the pop scene.
The current queen of pop, Lady Gaga has become the recent focus of the infamous Westburo Baptist Church. The Westburo Baptist Church also know as the “God Hates Fags” group has added Lady Gaga to the ever growing list of things god hates. Part of me is kind of sad because it seems that the more traditional more biblicaly grounded “God Hates Fags” side of the church is fading, along with Fred Phelps. The plus side is now the church has evolved into a total joke tacking the “God Hates” phrase to the latest fad or trend. Though I do wonder which group is more fanatical. These Westburo Baptist Church folk are facing off against some very fierce fans. Preteens, teens, and a gaggle of gay men form the ranks of the standard Lady Gaga audience. These fans are armed with “Disco Sticks” which if used properly can be deadly, and yet trendy at the same time.
Unlike the seriousness of their message the musical production skills of the church have defiantly improved, and are quite impressive. The following is a parody of Lady Gaga’s Poker Face by the Westburo Baptist Church presented via some Youtube Video.
This cool cat mister J. T. Chestnut made a video on masking your gay voice. I was quite startled, and somewhat entertained.
Entertaining, Interesting, even though he didn’t explain how he masked his voice so well it is was very compelling.
I’m trying to figure out if this video is suppose to be in jest or if Chestnut really intends the viewer to employ the featured technique. Personaly I try to be up front with who I am when I socialize. Though if you are socializing in a more consertive place then it may be somewhat pratical to employ this tatic when socializing with people. I would give a little bit more credit to the straight friends i’m socializing with, and forget about breaking the ice by masking my idenity.
I like this band, Dangerous Muse. The style, the sound, the look, they have it all. They just got around to releasing their new single “I Want It All”. The song has a interesting blend of vocals and moving sythn’s. Produced by Bloodshy and Avant (part of the group Miike Snow) “I Want It All” shows that the band has developed a deeper sound while still maintaining their original voice.
UPDATE: Here is the music video featured below. The video is very pretty, and defined. It has man, it has great lighting, but it doesn’t have a plot and little sense of progression. The music video is a bit of a let down, but I do thoroughly enjoy the song.
Personally I most prefer the post where they have that picture, that quote and a witty quip about the skirt or about how homophobia is bad.
Chris Pesto, the one holding the corduroy sign, intend to make light of the woman’s skirt by noting it as fashionably sinful. It is quite apparent that the skirt is breaking the unspoken laws of fashion. Though I think Chris may have a legitimate point in deeming her skirt sinful according to biblical context. One way to tell if article of clothing is sinful is to check it for mildew. The corduroy skirt in question may not be sinful, but is most defiantly unclean, and must be shown to the priest according to Leviticus chapter 13. If the mildew is destructive, and has grown after seven days the corduroy skirt must be burned.
“He must burn up the clothing, or the woven or knitted material of wool or linen, or any leather article that has the contamination in it, because the mildew is destructive; the article must be burned up” Leviticus Chapter 13 Verse 52.
Also it is pretty important to know what that garment threads consit of. “You shall not wear cloth of two different kinds of thread, wool and linen, woven together” Deuteronomy Chapter 22 Verse 11.
Sure I may be taking these veruses out of context and wrongly applying them to modern day society, but isn’t “The Skirt Bearer” doing the same thing with her message of homosexuality is a sin. According to her logic wouldn’t the things I mentiond be just as vald as her own message.
Anyway I comend both of the people in the picture for exersicing their free speach and being proactive about things they belive in. Be it the sinful nature of homosexal acts or the sinfulness of unfashionable attire.
The following is my interpretation of Adam Lambert’s performance.
HEY GURLSSS! it me! that guy you saw last night on that generic awards show no one really cares about! you can see me here!
see there I am!
NO im not adam Lambert I’m the bromo(brother homosexual) being shoved into his sweaty leather encased package.
im a dancer? ya a profesional dancer and i was doing the classic nadnaw/fakeblowjob move on adam because ya! im a dancer. whenever people say i have no self respect. i just point them towards the the hannah montna backup dancers. they have leashes too and those aren’t for show.
So ya back on the topic of sweaty leather encased packages. Adam wanted to “gay it up” for the blogsphere/gay bloggers/out magazine/glitter/queens in pajamas on computers/. backstage while adam was being lathered up in shellac and squeezed into his outfit he came up with the idea to do “gay it up” so like he can be relevant and not a corporate pawn. we practiced for a while and in between the mouthfuls of leather i suggest “it would be awesome if you practiced the singing part of your muscial preformance”.
to which he replied. “your a dancer”.
i felt sad? im a dancer? at least i’m not spinning leg girl. it was sad to see her hurl. im a poet? no no! i’m a dancer! im a dancer! and im on tv! and i made it to my dream job! my dreams? my face in some random guys crotch?
do you want to know what it tasted like? … do you want to know what was going through my head? of course you don’t care about me. im a dancer. im no one. im not adam.
i may not know who i am, but when i looked up at adams face i saw a lot of glitter. i saw sweat. i saw a lot shine. i saw a lot of people. i saw a lot of words.
