Album Review - Lady Gaga Remix Album
Everything Lady Gaga touches does not turn into gold, and so imagine my dismay when I finally got around to listening to this very hyped up remix album.
It was a disc that can easily not be on a must have list, unless you're a rabid monster.
The remixes included are some from Richard Vission, Passion Pit and yes Marilyn Manson. But with all these interesting cooks in the kitchen, someone spoiled the cake.
Many of the remixes fall short of capturing what makes Lady Gaga ...Lady Gaga, it's not really explainable, but the remixes other than featuring her vocals are kind of missing. A good track however is the Stuart Price remix of "Paparazzi," which may have been re-recorded, the iML mix of "The Fame," and the chillingly slowed down iML mix of "LoveGame."
A bonus perk for fans if you get the Australian version of the album a live rendition of "Pokerface."
So unless you can't get your fix until 2011 this might be enough to bait you over until gaga releases that full album, but it won't keep you satisfied.

Because I love Batman!
According to Yahoo! *The* number one trending topic right now is Batman 3, that is correct fellow Bat-hards (YEP) the third installment in the grim franchise is to be titled "The Dark Knight Rises."
The sad part of this news is that it will NOT feature the Riddler, which bums me out because the rumor mill suggested that this was at least a possibility. Apparently, Christopher Nolan has spoken with the LA times about the film and basically rounded off that the rumor was fan guesswork, as the script has just been completed. (So what were they doing with all that free time???)
Also, no villain has yet been unveiled, and the studio is casting for a female lead. Who would we like to see? Personally, I'd love to see the Riddler, in this time of election and other gnarly media it seems that the narcissist with the best PR in Gotham, the Riddler would be a time fitting choice. There's a slew of villains, so Nolan must be holding onto something really good.....as long as it's not like a buffet of Arkham's finest.

TV Casulty *Spoilers fo sho*
So, I have finally caught up with The Vampire Diaries and gosh! First off, Caroline is a vampire now? Yikes. Is Caroline fated to end up like Vicki or does she have some vamp staying power? Let's hope so because I'm quite sick of all the characters killed off last season. What the writers did to Anna and Harper was uncalled for.
Katherine is just another jealous ex with a violent streak, or is she? What is up with Mason Lockwood and the moonstone? And Tyler and Jeremy are friends now after wolf drawing show and tell? Please.
Also, poor Bonnie can't get a break. Writers either need to introduce the Matt/Bonnie/Damon possible love triangle from the books or write her a boyfriend so she doesn't go around using her witchy glare to threaten the supernatural. It's getting a little much. Lighten up Miss Bennett, you're supposed to bet he fun one.
As far as other TV goes, its a cocktail of criminal procedural shows like Criminal Minds (why JJ? Why?), NCIS, NCIS:LA (what the hell did you do with Nate!? Bring him back!), and my new favorite Hawaii Five-O, as well as the whimsy of high school from 90210 and Glee. Finally Kurt and Rachel bond over something! I fully believe they would be friends if their egos didn't get in the way.
Not to mention that drama that is Grey's Anatomy, Kerev is scared of the elevator *shock* woe
I'll try and be more concise and consistent with TV reviews but they won't be that long in the future to save people from spoilers. I'll work out some kind of schedule in the upcoming weeks.
