V-WEB: Our Weekly Obsession (Dec.10/09)

With Lady Gaga in town yesterday, today and tomorrow it's only fitting that she's this week's obsession. More like our obsession of the year. Personally, we like that she says "fuck" a lot and credits a majority of her success to her rabid gay following. Gaga praises the bond between her and audiences, particularly the Marys, in her interviews, so when those two forces collide in her live show we hear the result is nothing short of breath-stopping and frantic.

V-Rag is on the scene for tonight's performance at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. What could be more suitable than that venue, seriously? First of all the actual Queen Elizabeth just met Lady Gaga. Second of all, the Queen E has played host to so many fabulous and spectacular shows Lady Gaga's carnival will feel right at home. We're excited. Here is the first of five clips of a really good interview Gaga did with Noisevox that, if you're at all interested in who she is and what she represents, speaks volumes.

V-WEB: Our Weekly Obsession (Nov.19/09)

We just heard this off of Hed Kandi's 2 disc Nu Disco compilation, and we're salivating over it so much we had to share it with you.

In fact, from now on we'll be sharing lots more songs, videos and other time wasters with you through the V-Rag Blog. For OCD issues involving organizing which you can only begin to fathom, we'll tag these internet-only super extra special posts V-WEB. And consider Thursday Our Weekly Obsession day, where we'll post whatever song/video/picture/meaningless internet meme we've been obsessing over for the week prior.

Like this one. Munk first caught our ears years ago with the wickedly fun song "Kick Out The Chairs" (Motherfuckers!) alongside LCD Soundsystem's James Murphy.

Now, they're back making a strong appeal to our love for sensual disco with the Shazam-remixed version of Down In LA with a synth line that has been soaked in catchiness and baked at the exact temperature of hot, passionate sex. It takes everything in our power to not listen to this song at least five times a day. Dance away, faithful readers, dance!
