No secret: TPR hates Lady Gaga. She’s Matthew Barney snapped into a slim jim. A short mannequin whose outfits wear her, not the other way around. If her songs had anything going for them, it’d be a different story but she sounds like late-period Madonna, nothing at all to be proud of. That, and her infinite costumes have no context–they are there to shock, not rooted in any kind of movement except cold hard cash. If my gays could please take a pause and stop acting like Grace Jones never happened, I’d be really happy. The above video takes Gag’s song “Poker Face,” and makes it into a font ode. More lip synching otters and art homos, please.

Gay Tube
April 5, 2009I’ve been catching some totally fun, totally gay videos lately. Here are some:
Sandi Sirocco-“Dancing Dancing Dancing Dancing”
This vid is pure candy. That, plus the never ending smoke, the golden keyboard and Little Miss Back Up Singer make this a top pick.
Brown Down Crown
Where else would I find out about this but Rudy Bleu? Brown Down Crown is a youtubed variety program that is so cool it hurts. Pride mixed with the importance of being Brown means this is my new favorite show. Featuring a song by The Caldonias (ex-Fierce Perm). WORD!
Camomilla-”Queen of the Night”
Can a video with off-time choreography, high-femmes in leather and a cheering audience of Italian men be queer? I think so. There is fetishism written all over this, plus the incredible song. Man! This song rules!
Pretty Thingsss – “Popcorn” Season 1 Episode 2
If movies like “High Fidelity” are your thing, then Pretty Thingsss’ “Popcorn” series is your queered thang. These genderbending shorts about an Art House Movie Theatre have the smarts, sass and irony to get you laughing to yourself. LOGO’s sketch comedy’s got you saying “meh?” “Popcorn” is DIY fierceness with creativity to spare.
Amanda Palmer – “Please Drop Me”
Amanda Palmer’s recent problems with her record label, Road Runner Records have been no secret. A live tape of her singing a song to the tune of “Moon River” was making the rounds this week. A big F.U. to your finance base in a lacy corset is pretty much the highest level of bad ass.
