Kick ***. I may buy an album for the first time in two years.
Seriously, what the hell am I supposed to be looking for on the previous page?
I'm looking forward to the new R.E.M. Yeah, it's been 20 years since they did anything worth repeated listening, but the buzz is that it is a great album. We'll see. I'm also interested in G. Love's new album, as it was produced by the Avett Brothers. That combination could be excellent. Or it could be a disaster.

I haven't enjoyed an REM album since Monster. I'm fond of a few songs from New Adventures in Hi-Fi, then I liked their single from their next record, Imitation of Life, and then I stopped listening to them. Caught a song here and there, and thought to myself: mental note, REM seems to suck now. I'll give a new REM album a chance, though. I'll always give anything a chance. Except for suicide.
Dont know if any of yall are into him but Chamillionaire's been putting out some new stuff since January...If you like good clean lyrics, his stuff is fire!
Just thought I'd give him a plug

That is one weird looking chick. Almost disturbing. Kinda like watching an evil doll, when they are kinda cute but you know later they are going to go all Chucky on you.
You think she's weird... Yolandi Visser bro.

I bought one of the old Eric Clapton albums the other day. Can't remember what it's called, but I listened to it in full, and it was pretty good for 2011. Maybe album of the year.

That means nothing to me coming from you. I would say the same thing about your taste in music. Isn't it great that people are so different?
Yes. Diversity rocks, eh!?!?!?

Okay, I'll bite. How in the hell is Lady Gaga inspirational to you? Seriously.
Regarding her music, I get it. And I like her previous work. I also totally see the Kaufman comparison too. But her new song that's played on the radio blows. It's really that simple to me. The same beat (ripped off from Material Girl if I remember correctly) loops over and over and over and over. I know plenty of songs do this but she takes it to another level without any catchy **** to break the monotony.

You seriously have to ask?? Have you actually listened to or read the lyrics for "Born This Way"? I had one of the lines in an image on my signature here for quite a few months. The song is an outcast anthem. I'm pretty sure her performance of "Born This Way" on the Grammy Awards was the first performance ever of a song that specifically mentions transgender people. The message in that song alone is enough to be inspirational to me. Even before this song, she has been outspoken on LGBT rights. She is using her celebrity to push for equal rights. She is all about people being free to be themselves, whoever they are. <sarcasm>Hmm...how could I possibly be inspired by all that?</sarcasm>

Yes, I did seriously have to ask. Otherwise, I wouldn't have asked. Sorry but I don't keep Lady Gaga on repeat on my I-pod or CD player, and prance around, singing the lyrics like some 13 year old girl spouting out her favorite Julie Andrews bit from The Sound of Music.
That said, yes, it does make sense now.
Regarding the song that's on the radio currently, I have no idea if this is the song you're referring to but if it is, the "inspiring" lyrics don't save it for me. It's monotonous and lame as hell.

Lady Gaga came out of an egg on stage, and 3 people cried.
