Couldn't agree more!

Bring on the Gaga hate, @@Baby V Alex!

I see what you did there!

I am really indifferent to all of these artists besides Gaga. They do nothing to me, but I respect them and all that stuff. Hopefully their records will live up to their fans' expectations! Good luck to them, too. However... ARTPOP is what I thirst for. I feel like using 'thirsty' as we are talking about stan wars, and the thirst is real there, isn't it?

Why? Her previous albums have seen co-producers that didn't receive any proper acknowledgement either.

Don't bother to rip the video anything higher than 192kbit/s.

Marina says a lot of things. Fake release dates, for instance.

Her cheerful, unapologetically childish and totally honest laugh.

Stefani - "Burqa"

That's what went though my mind, too. It would be interesting to know the exact time point the song was recorded.

Marina: "Yeah, now we both cancelled our European tours!" Charli: "God bless America!" I am kind of done with cancellations.

Some of these are so daring, I think. I'd never get a portrait tattooed because they usually turn out horrible... as seen in some examples here.

I own a lot of artist biographies. I have always been kind of fascinated by... eccentric human beings and so I accumulated a tremendous collection of books about/by painters, singers, actors, directors and anything else in-between. I shall post a photo of them later. As a matter of fact, I don't read a lot of fiction. There's just a few novels by authors I particularly like, but that's about it. So I spend a lot of my reading time studying human beings. It's also lovely to get lost in somebody else's life for a while without needing to deal with your very own.

If there's a video broadcast, there will be audio, which will then turn into an album in my iTunes.

This song has made me cry on many occasions.

Do you remember the headlines about all those people being well-paid to attend these shows? Me neither. However, I remember the headlines about those people paying to attend her show.

I don't think so but let's take a moment to look at @@Rafael's words of command.

Congrats! You need to come up with a new rebus now... read the rules.

I'm out of here. I will not apologise for my art. Hint: someone's really tired of something.

Rebus... that word sounds so familiar now that I read it. MIDNIGHT DANCER GIRLFRIEND. Here's mine:

None of the two fonts have been rather pleasing to my eyes, frankly.

I like this a lot better than the previous one, to be honest.
