hector_rashbaum: panic at the disco, b&w against colored backgrounds (panic)
I have a whole bunch of thoughts on the "Alejandro" video, but nothing really coherent. IDK, sometimes I like that all she's really doing is filtering the formula of starlet+backup dancers through different lenses and then tossing in a bunch of deliberately pretentious garbage to keep people talking, sometimes I get really tired of the predictability of here comes more pretentious garbage just to keep people talking. Plus, the problem with that song has always been (well, it's been fetishy exotic-othering, but the other problem) it's too frigging long, and she went ahead and made it longer without adding anything interesting.

It is hard to make me :| about men in heels getting tied up and implicitly pegged, Gaga, how did you even do that.

I am super-super-into Take A Vacation! right now (also super-super-into the word super, and I have no idea why). I am both confused and delighted by Ryan Rossy singing a saccharine love song with Z, idk. What happened to the sluts and whores, Rossy, what happened.
