Now I'm confused. Are opinions objective or subjective?

Now Liffey knows how Montana feels.

haha, once in a while i get that feeling and am always like "uh-oh"

From a subjective standpoint, opinions are objective. Or objectives have opinions. Or suppinions are injective?

Short answer: yes.

opinions are subjective
technical ability is not

What units are used to measure technical ability.

What do you think about the way Bob Dylan sings?

wtf. i imagine theres more bullshit in the last 2 pages then a conversation between me and Monty.

end of the day, this is a pretty flawless pop song.



wtf is your problem Liffey??

I'm not an expert, but I think the preferred nomenclature is 'chops.' And a particularly skilled technician can 'shred', bro.

Eh, fuck you guys.

Pop music can be good and Lady Gaga sucks. There you have it.

Man.

This thread.

OK, I'd agree with that for the most part. (Not trying to gang up on you, btw. This is an interesting discussion.)

Q: Do you think pop music is limited by its very nature? If not, do you think pop music has an unlimited potential to advance and still remain 'pop' as we know it?

Goddammit lostbikes.

Shut up Duff.


I don't think pop is limited by its own nature. I think it has a huge potential for growth and for mixing with other genres. It's impossible to predict where it will evolve to, but I think it can definitely grow without becoming unidentifiable. There are good melodies out there already, but I think that musically it can go so much farther. I'm not talking about going "pop-prog" or doing guitar solos necessarily, but there is a ton of room for intricacy and complexity that could make it worth much more as an investment genre.

You guys have spent so much time addressing the music of Lady Gaga, what you haven't done is focus on Lady Gaga himself and what he's overcome to become one of the most promising transvestite pop artists since Cher and Rue Paul. I think we'll still be talking about Lady Gaga and his contributions to the transvestite music community for years to come.*

OK, that was pretty funny.

Has anyone ever noticed the similarity of this


to this: ?

The wife and I thought it was interesting... ...

really great article from The Quietus right here

GAGAGAGAGA

When is the Telephone video going to come out? Apparently it's meant to shit all over the Bad Romance vid in the wackiness/all-out amazingness stakes.

Well, here it is.

Blows the "She Wolf" clip out of the water in the near-porn stakes.

A big mess (no surprise with Akerlund directing), but pretty darn awesome too. The return of Beatrix Kiddo's Pussy Wagon was good for a larf.

lol. packed with just enough visual cliches to be huge! can't imagine rockin this as a straight up audio experience and not wanting to kill myself upon discovery.

Going to check out Plentyoffish.com on my Virgin Mobile.

So. Much. Product. Placement. I still don't get the love for this chick.

Two words, trash.

That video made me want to buy a helicopter.

I mean, honestly.

I can't say that I'm a fan. Actually I despise this shit. But I also must say that it's kind of cool that something like that is being watched by the standard pop music consumer. So, mild props to Lady Gaga - but I still say if she has talent and brains (which I sort of think she does at this point, after seeing this - before I just thought it was utter shit), why doesn't she start making quality pop music? The fashion is kind of cool, but this pop music is sellout corporate fucking TRASH. Which detracts a great deal of props from her scorecard.

All style no substance.
Shit music.
But cool ideas - like the video editing and everyone dying.

I give Lady Gaga a 2.5/10.

not total shit but i share your sentiment. this vid was kinda strange I guess, but mostly trash.

It's incredible, I guess the pulled a Gary Sinise and Forrest Gumped out Lady Gonad's Penis?

i think she has mede the biggest impact on music out the gate since Kanye West. i mean, the 2 of them knout it out the park 4 the most part almost every time. now that telephone video is terrific, and there is subtext 2 it. without the subtext it would still be great but the subtext is America. gaga is destroying america. all 2 do with gay rights and ish, and that diner is the heart of USA, an so on. its easy 2 hate on her but i think she is terrific.

I agree with Jigga.
