MOOPY SYNC LISTEN - LADY GAGA - ARTPOP - 8pm Tuesday 16/06

[GinAg (39)]

This is an absolute step up.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

We not listening to that version. We're on Artpop.

Good grief. We'd all turn into rapists would we?

 

[GinAg (39)]

Have we skipped Do What U Want for PC reasons?

It's just deleted from the online versions we're using.

 

[GNL]

Have we skipped Do What U Want for PC reasons?

She DELETED IT.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

ARTPOP is dull. There, I said it.

 

[lolly]

I'd listen to it if it was on Spotify

 

[Pingu]

Good grief. We'd all turn into rapists would we?

It’s not on streaming services any more, nobody’s overthinking anything.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

She DELETED IT.

Ah. I'm listening to a COMPACT DISC.

SORRY.

 

[Jark]

I remember when she played the iTunes Festival gig before the album came out, ARTPOP sounded fucking blinding. I seem to recall thinking it almost had the feel of a Sophie Ellis-Bextor song, that relaxed, elegant disco-pop vibe.

Then the album version disappointed me at first with its toned-down production.

Now it's probably my favourite Gaga song, along with Alejandro. An 11.

Lover's kites...
are flown on beaches for public sight...
The colour palette you choose...
can profit you...

Lyrically this one is also WONDERFUL and strangely abstract, in a poetic way for L. Gaga.

 

[dmlaw]

My Artpop could mean anything. It's a good lyric on a good song, but it rather brings home my problem with the whole album. If it could mean anything then it actually means nothing.

 

[GinAg (39)]

I'd listen to it if it was on Spotify

Yeah it's a good song. The whole project was so tone deaf however.

Ah yes, I'm listening to a CD. I don't do streaming. I'm old and appreciate audio quality.

Honestly, Gaga recording a song called 'Do What U Want With My Body' and enlisting R Kelly for the song and Uncle Terry for the video was a strong indicator that she was on crack.

 

[HeLikedTurner]

I f**king LOVE Swine. I sort of don't like anyone who doesn't like it.

 

[Jark]

My Artpop could mean anything. It's a good lyric on a good song, but it rather brings home my problem with the whole album. If it could mean anything then it actually means nothing.

But does it? Are you that absolutist that meaning must be spelled out to really EXIST?

I didn't like 'Swine' at the time, but I'm enjoying it more now. That DROP has dated like milk though.

 

[GinAg (39)]

But does it? Are you that absolutist that meaning must be spelled out to really EXIST?

It's not that deep!

 

[GinAg (39)]

SQUEALER!

 

[lolly]

I f**king LOVE Swine. I sort of don't like anyone who doesn't like it.

That's how I feel about Beethoven (I Love To Listen To). I judge people based on their appreciation of that.

 

[dmlaw]

But does it? Are you that absolutist that meaning must be spelled out to really EXIST?

I don't need meaning to be obvious and I'm perfectly happy to have to work for it, but nothing that I have heard so far suggests that Gaga actually knows what she wants to say with any of this.

 

[lolly]

Unlike Beethoven however, Swine is a borderline turd.

Now HERE is a song with MEANING and HEART.

 

[dmlaw]

Lyrically, Swine is such an angry song, but it isn't coming through to me in the performance. It feels like the production is actively blocking me from feeling anything.

I'm beginning to get quite severe fatigue at this point.

Would some pretty strings and cowbells help?

 

[HeLikedTurner]

Sad to see the "IT FLOPPED SO IT MUST BE BAD" groupthink in evidence still.

 

[Pingu]

Jesus CHRIST at this...

 

[Jark]

I don't need meaning to be obvious and I'm perfectly happy to have to work for it, but nothing that I have heard so far suggests that Gaga actually knows what she wants to say with any of this.

fair enough, yeah

Bollocks

Donatella is fucking insane. The salad line!
