Lady Gaga for 100 Portraits

Now I missed this, Well actually I didn’t miss it I was there waiting on time, but i got disconnected because hordes of Gaga fans flooded the Live feed, and I was un-able to re connect!

I did manage to see The Haus of Gaga’s Matt and Nicola Formichetti get their shots done though, and I was keeping an eye on the twitter feed so I could watch out for the TwitPics coming from the shoot, And I have a few here to show you!

Lady Gaga for Elle US January 2010

Lady Gaga looks stunning in the January Edition of US Elle!

I’m actually probably going to buy this when I can get it here in the UK.

Here’s a quick snippet from her interview -

“My album covers are not sexual at all, which was an issue at my record label. I fought for months, and I cried at meetings. They didn’t think the photos were commercial enough…The last thing a young woman needs is another picture of a sexy pop star writhing in sand, covered in grease, touching herself.

Britney Spears will also be on an alternate cover, and I will post pics as soon as I can get hold of them!

Lady Gaga – The Fame Monster Covers

So as we all know Lady Gaga is re-releasing her debut album, re-titled The Fame Monster. The album will include 8 new tracks including “Bad Romance”. Lady Gaga took to her Twitter to show us all two of the covers, thats right TWO, there will be multiple covers in this version :)

FAIL! The first looks alright but its a bit plain for Gaga, and the second is awful, it looks like something Amy Lee would crap out!

Little Boots – Hands

So I really should have written this review when my CD arrived (2 days before the release! Thank you Amazon :P ).

But anyway the truth is i’ve been too busy listening to it!

Lets begin

Track 1 – New in Town

If you’ve heard of Little Boots, you’ll have heard of this song by now. Great song, with a pop/electro feel. Although it wouldnt have been my first choice for a first release.

Track 2 – Earthquake

Apparently it was originally meant to the the first single release from the album. And I’m glad they changed it. This song has more of a 90′s pop feel about it which isn’t really my taste, but nevertheless its still a good song :)

Track 3 – Stuck on Repeat

If, like me, you were a fan of Dead Disco, before Little Boots broke off on her own then you may have already heard of this song. One of the best songs on the album, and this version sounds a little better in my opinion.

Track 4 -Click

This song was a delight for me, as it was the first song on the album that I hadn’t heard previously. And its great, once again with the 80′s electro pop style, that has definatly come back around :)

Track 5 – Remedy

Best song on the album. Addictive and just brilliant. And apparently the second single that will be released.  :)

(And doesnt the beginning sound like the Beetlejuice song?)

Track 6 – Meddle

Once again if you have been a fan of Little Boots for awhile, then you will already know this song. Or if you watch Skins it was on Naomi’s episode a few months back. Brilliant song, and the first song I ever heard from Little Boots which made me love her so much :)

Track 7 -Ghosts

I’m in two parts whith this track, it’s starts of great, and then the chorus kicks in, and for some reason i fell that it just never kicks in. So it is a good song, but just not great.

Track 8 – Mathematics

Another song I fell in love with when I got the Little Boots EP a few months ago, my second favourite song on the album.

Track 9 – Symetry

Another song i’m currently addicted to, its definatly fighting its way into second place at the moment :P

Track 10 – Tune into my Heart

Now in my opinion this song lets the album down, too cheesy for me thank you :S

(Edward Scissorhands song at the Beginning!?)

Track 11 – Hearts Collide

Not a bad song, but not a great song either, Little Boots definatly put the best songs at the beginning of the album.

Track 12 (Bonus Track) – No Brakes

Starts out with a great 80s style, but then it just sounds similar to the last 2 songs. But the bonus track that comes after is quite sweet :)

So in conclusion, this album is great, but maybe skip the last 3 songs :P

La Roux at NME Radar Tour

So last Sunday night I was in The Globe in Cardiff for the NME Radar Tour.

We Missed the first Band ( The Chapman Family), becuase the doors opened at half 7 but we didnt want to have to wait around for ages buying expensive drinks, so we asked the d and he said the first band was on at half 8.

So we came back at quarterpast 8, and the Chapman family were already packing up. Anyway The Magistrates wern’t playing in Cardiff, for reasons I cant remember. So the next band was Heartbreak. And I actually liked this band, I was only at th tour to see LaRoux, but I really liked Heartbreak

This wasnt  the Cardiff Arena, unfortunatly my phone battery died before we even got there so I have no photos or video of the Cardiff event.

So then next on was La Roux, and I have to say they are amazing live, Elly sounds exactly the same live as recorded, she has an amazing voice!

She played  all the songs I know – Bulletproof, Fascination,Tigerlily, I’m Not Your Toy, and obviously In For the Kill. – she also played a few new songs i’d never heard of, but she was brillaint, so now i’ll leave you with my personal favourite song.
