Lady Gaga - ARTPOP [2012]

my favorite inane thing she has posted on littlemonsters.com was "Would you critic an English paper if you did not speak English?"

I am moving to a nice house on a lake and awaiting my Avalon 747 which should be here soon. I am in a place where I can't record. It is very noisy. That is why I have to move.

these have the feel of haunting last words

god she is so over

Swine is really the only one off this I still listen to. The rest I can take or leave, even Applause, and I don’t think I’ve listened much to her material after that since (The Fame/TFM obviously still classics).

#2 in the iTunes store right now

Lady Gaga’s fans think ‘Artpop’ never got enough respect. So they’re changing that

The applause for “Artpop” lives on, reassuring what some of Lady Gaga’s fans already knew about the divisive and overlooked album: It was ahead of its time.

The pop star’s third studio album, released in 2013, landed at No. 2 on iTunes’ album chart Tuesday after #buyARTPOPoniTunes went viral on social media. The hashtag is part of a fan-powered movement for the “Applause” singer to release the second volume of “Artpop.”

And even Gaga is on board.

“The petition to #buyARTPOPoniTunes for a volume II has inspired such a tremendous warmth in my heart. Making this album was like heart surgery, I was desperate, in pain, and poured my heart into electronic music that slammed harder than any drug I could find,” Gaga wrote on Twitter late Monday.

“I fell apart after I released this album. Thank you for celebrating something that once felt like destruction. We always believed it was ahead of its time. Years later turns out, sometimes, artists know. And so do little monsters. Paws up.”

is this the one that goes ga ga ooh la la

Recently discovered the fantastic version of the title track (with Elton John) from the Muppets show.

it just was/is not a very good album

weird that that itunes/social media thing even got a writeup, temporarily rising to a semi-impressive-looking ranking on itunes in the middle of the week (or at all, as digital album sales are in the toilet nowadays) isn't hugely meaningful these days. this is the same platform where decades-old songs routinely rise to the top 10 just by being part of a discount promo

also, its best track is no longer on it
