Lady Gaga’s ‘Telephone’ with Beyonce is out and it is wilder than their last collaboration. The nine-minute video starts with Gaga being escorted into a prison cell and stripped of her clothing by two female guards. “I told you she didn’t have a dick.” says one of them. “Too bad,” the other replies, and Gaga leaps against the bars of her cell, exposing a blurred out view of her genitals. (She already proved she is not a hermaphrodite with her skimpy Grammys costume.) ... read more >>

Gonjasufi: A Sufi and a Killer
Friday, March 5th, 2010
Gonjasufi – aka California’s Sumach Ecks – sounds like a human radio that’s stuck between stations. Songs on his debut LP crackle in and out of life and dance between genres: one minute he’s croaking out-of-frequency soul, the next it’s a Big Boi-style hip-hop rundown. It’s all over the place, but thrillingly so. ... read more >>

Carmen
Thursday, March 4th, 2010
Bizet’s Carmen is the perfect vehicle for Welsh National Opera’s first-rate chorus and orchestra, and both still emerge strongly in Patrice Caurier and Moshe Leiser’s 13-year-old staging. The dark and edgy mood certainly creates atmosphere, but the hot, claustrophobic working conditions endured by the army personnel and the women of the cigarette factory are never quite convincing at the Millennium Centre (the production was conceived for the more intimate New Theatre). Too much action sprawls upstage and the long stretches of French dialogue don’t help, even with surtitles. ... read more >>

‘Gorillaz took my mind to the second dimension’
Wednesday, March 3rd, 2010
I awoke washed up on Plastic Beach, Point Nemo, the epicentre of Antarctic inaccessibility. I needed some dope. Murdoc, the master of meddle, stood above me. “Try this. It’s pure Pan’s pasta, Noodle’s nectar. It’s alive. It can’t be boshed. Experience the colour of the Big Bong.” ... read more >>

Why I opened the door to the Goblin King: Katya Ivanova lifts the lid on her relationship with Ronnie Wood
Friday, February 26th, 2010
The fur-lined Prada coat and white Chanel shift dress are packed away in boxes. The diamond-studded silver necklace has disappeared and demands for vodka are conspicuous only by their absence. Instead, Ekaterina Ivanova is wearing a cropped T-shirt and her red nail varnish is chipped. ... read more >>

Jason Derülo, ‘Jason Derülo’
Tuesday, February 23rd, 2010
Jason Derülo: Man or machine? Listening to the young star’s debut CD, it isn’t always easy to tell. In track after track, we hear a voice that sounds like an Auto-Tune machine devouring a vocoder. It’s a squiggly, metallic and shimmering thing, a sound no untreated human voice could possibly make, but one a producer of ingenuity and ambition would pine for. ... read more >>

Simon Cowell, ‘American Idol’ judge, says neither Madonna nor Howard Stern could replace him
Friday, February 19th, 2010
Simon Cowell knows what it takes to be an “American Idol” judge, and he says neither Howard Stern nor Madonna is the right choice to replace him next season. The acerbic British judge, who’s leaving the hit Fox competition at the end of the season to helm a U.S. version of “The X Factor,” was grilled by reporters yesterday about who could fill his shoes. ... read more >>

‘The Pride’: Gay play is well-crafted, inside and out
Thursday, February 18th, 2010
The freedom to be out and proud is the stuff parades are made of, but it’s no guarantee of a happy love life. That theme beats at the heart of “The Pride,” an intriguing drama about gay life in England before and after the ’60s sexual revolution. In his writing debut, British actor-turned-author Alexi Kaye Campbell imaginatively uses two sets of characters with identical names in dual domestic dramas to draw parallels between 1958 and 2008. ... read more >>
