Another day, another GaGa

…you didn’t think I’d really let you go this long without another Lady GaGa update, did you?
But seriously – has anyone else noted the odd similarities between “Poker Face” by Lady GaGa and “Vomiting Mirrors” by local punx Clockcleaner (aka “The Most Hated Band in Philadelphia”)?
ClockGaGa? LadyCleaner? Who knows. In the meantime, check out Clockcleaner’s last show ever at Kung Fu Necktie on April 18. Oh wait, it’s “invite only.” Endless bummer!
From the Department of Recent Obsessions: Kickin’ it old school

I am turning 23 soon, trying to go to grad school or find a real, full-time job in the film industry within the next year, and basically trying to look and act like a real human being. But I also have a tendency to watch videos of early British punk and oi bands – and to get really jealous of their style. Do film studios hire guys who spend all their money on suspenders and jackets in an attempt to look like Feargal Sharkey et al. circa 1979?
I think this might be a bit of a problem.
999, “Homicide”
The Buzzcocks, “What Do I Get”
The Undertones, “My Perfect Cousin”
Cock Sparrer, “We Love You”
Punk’s Not Dead

I think my favorite part of today was when PRESIDENT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA gave a shoutout to the “non-believers” and everybody in da club cheered! Unironically proud to be an American again this afternoon.
