Gaga Love

Im not going to write a review of the gig because I don't think I could possibly sum up how much of an effect Lady Gaga's performance in the O2 Dublin had on me. It was passionate, beautiful and everything I hoped it would be and more. I did take some photos though, be they somewhat blurry. They are here.

Ill leave it to my good friend and partner in Gaga to do the talking. Check out his review here.

He is also nominated for an Irish Blog Award along with these other fantastic creatures. Wish them luck!

The Baby Jesus.

Its almost Christmas, so here is a little treat I located from the internets. Its Baby Jesus and he is crying. Probably because you told a lie. Happy Christmas!

Images of the Day

Since I haven't done one of these for a while Im going to post up a few of my current favourite images.

My favourite poster at the moment. Designed by Jan Tschichold (My Hero). Im going through a geometric phase...I hope it lasts...


My album of the moment, The Pleasure Principle. I have been listening to the song 'Films' over and over again. I love everything about Gary Numan. EVERYTHING. Especially in this picture. Just stunning.

Phil Oakey. Human League frontman. I hate to say it but I prefer them pre-girl singers. The music was better...and so was the hair.

Kraftwerk. So dashing in those suits. Everytime I see or hear them I get ridiculously giddy. They are pure perfection.
