Lady Gaga's "Normal" Performance

The moment I heard Lady Gaga would be performing at the 2015 Oscars I wondered what she would do different this time? Personally, I believe she is the ultimate chameleon and can do no wrong. I attended her last two concerts and must say I was not disappointed with her show. Honestly, her performances tend to bring a tear to my eyes because they are so powerful, raw and real. She really doesn't hold back and her true love for what she does shines through. Her Oscars performance was no different. The glittery white gown and perfectly prim hair was surprising but in a good way. In a way that made me think "Yesssss" she doesn't give a fuck what people think you know? She can be strange and weird or she can be normal and beautiful without stripping away herself.  This performance is just a different side of Gaga that we are not familiar with. When people say "OMG, Gaga can actually sing?" I'm like, really? You're surprised? She just happens to be a great singer and an amazing piano player. More than can be said about other pop stars who can't even sing. Anyways, I'm not trying to bash any other celebrities I just want to make a point that Lady Gaga is a great performer who deserves more credit that she is given. Long live Mother Monster. 

Happy Valentine's Day!

My love life is complicated right now to say the least, but Valentine's Day is fun and one of my favorite holidays ever. Plus, these cards are everything right now.

Current Obsession: Aye Nako

Straight out of Brooklyn, self proclaimed "homo-pop" and "queercore" group, Aye Nako, is far from "pop". Instead, they sound more like a fuzzy, DIY, punk rock dream belching out catchy, slightly out of tune, lyrics like "and my heart on the blues or am I really that confused?" 
I was initially listening to P.S. Elliot radio on Spotify when I clicked the next song and was  instantly hooked on this group. The song, only 57 seconds, was "Bent Out of Shape," a hard-hitting punk rock intro with fast upbeats and a refreshingly powerful female voice. 
The song is featured on the album "Are You With the Band?" a collection of female fronted pop-punk bands.
The entire album is gold, featuring some really great bands like Sourpatch, The Homewreckers and Cheeky.
