Your own sense of self importance, which all gay men share, is enough to cross the Styx or the the threshold of Town. Lock yourself in a social box and then pretend you never did it in the first place? In five years you'll be dated and in ten all the snobbery of your scene will be an anachronism. Loosen up and paddle your own damned queer canoe because the river keep pulling you along anyway. You don’t need a Charon Gay to ferry you back and forth.

The Supreme Court of Indie has held in Lady Gaga's favor. Said Justice Albini in his majority opinion, "We reverse our earlier precedent and will now allow the Indie citizens to have a reasonable amount of affection for faggy-tweeny dance pop a la Britney, Christina, Lady Gaga, Madonna, etc., on the grounds that it sort of fits in with our Warhol-esque irony aesthetic and plus it's got hooks." So there's no real conflict between liking Gaga and liking Ladytron anymore -- I mean, frankly, they're two sides of the same dance-pop coin. Zach, haven’t you heard?

Don't pretend you don't. 2 - The last Ladytron record (and, come to think of it, the two that came out befor "The Witching Hour") blow. Hard. I recently drunk bought the Lady Gaga record and, while it is complete trash, it is better than most of Ladytron's output, in my opinion. Even though Ladytron is alternasomething and I'm supposed to like them, I would rather run out to the street to meet Lady Gaga. 1 – I know you go to Nellies. Don’t pretend you don’t.
