So is it really a no-go for series 3? Are you really going to force me to start a facebook campaign? I was thinking of a mass buying of the trades on the christmas eve?

If series three was really going to be about La Gaga (and I suspect it wasn't), then maybe ... all right, I can't bring myself to say it isn't a shame there won't be a third, but, honestly, Madonna + Marilyn Manson x a decent producer, and that's about your lot, surely?

I expect Cheryl Cole's forthcoming set of bitter torch songs (and we could talk about what should be on there, but I'd begin with lots of Scott Walker, and early Soft Cell; perhaps a sour, ironic version of 'Borderline') will pack more of a punch.

Oh, it wouldn't have just been about Gaga. She's just a useful example for bits and pieces. It was about everything from Aha to the Young Marble Giants.

AG: I think you're undervaluing Lady Gaga as a cross between Madonna and Marilyn Manson (not that this is at all necessarily a bad combination).

She has pretty much of her own volition transformed herself from a fairly run of the mill singer/songwriter called Stefani into a person that's more icon than reality in the space of about a year and half. Whereas most pop divas seem to be moulded into whatever their record company wants them to be, Gaga has embraced everything despicable about the current X-factor, Pop Idol industry and turned it back on itself.

"If you want to be truly subversive - write pop music" - Lady Gaga

She writes her own songs, comes up with the concepts for her stage shows, wears the most cutting edge clothes around - as far as I'm concerned she's the apotheosis of the pop star.

And, as far as Phonogram goes, the video for Bad Romance is probably the most blatent display of real-life phonomancy and magical symbolism in any pop video of the last 10 years.

Okay, so my contribution to this forum has been nothing but fanboy gushing of late, and we're gonna have to wait months to put this thread to proper use, but...

NEW LOEG! IT MUST BE TIME FOR THE SEXY DANCE.
