Goo Goo For Gaga

To be completely honest, I didn't really know what to write about this week.  Then I remembered the reason why I'm half asleep at the moment writing this.  Well, I went to Lady Gaga's concert last night. Yeah I only got two hours of sleep yesterday because I waited in line all day to be in a general admission pit that was surrounded by her stage.  Let me just say camping out over night in front of the HP Pavilion for 9.5 hours was totally worth it because I got second row.  

Anyways, she's my favorite artist and performer by far.  From the most skimpy outfits, to her classy and elegant dresses, I love it all.  Some people strongly dislike her, of whom I feel sorry for because she's one of the most talented women of our generation, and some are dedicated fans.  I love her for three reasons: her music, performance art, and involvement in putting together songs with her audio engineer.  Most artists go into the studio, record what is needed, then leave.  Gaga on the other hand writes her own music and helps produce it.  She can come up with a melody for a song in a heartbeat, which majority artists aren't able to do.  For example, soon after she was working on her third album, she was in the shower and casually sang some lyrics in catchy tune.  The lyrics she sang were randomly made up on the spot.  What was first sung in her shower is now one of the most well known songs out there today called Born This Way.  Personally, I'd love to work with Gaga because I know she has crazy song ideas that would instantly top the charts.  

While waiting in line yesterday at the arena, I saw Gaga's audio engineer, DJ White Shadow, walk by across the street from where I was.  Let's just say was I dying to go over and talk to him.  Unfortunately he went inside one of the tour buses so I couldn't meet him.  Yeah it was kind of depressing considering he's my favorite audio engineer and he's probably not going to come back to San Jose anytime soon.  My favorite remix of his is Lady Gaga's song Judas.  You can listen to it below:

The beat and modified synths are upbeat and give the song a strong dance vibe, which is strive to make.  Hopefully next time he comes around I'll be able to meet him and discuss his music.  Even though I didin't meet him, it was an amazing night.
