Download or read book Thoughtrave An Interdimensional Conversation with Lady Gaga written by Lady Gaga and published by punctum books. This book was released on 2016 with total page 208 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thoughtrave is the immediate and most detailed archive of Lady Gaga's emotional, intellectual, philosophical, and spiritual evolution, a reclaiming of her art (and humanity) from within the center of her celebrity during one of the most difficult transitions of her career: Summer 2013-Fall 2014. Lady Gaga: I don't like being used to make money. I feel sad when I am overworked and that I just become a money making machine and that my passion and my creativity take a backseat. That makes me unhappy. So, what did I do? I started to say no. Not doing that. I don't want to do that. I'm not taking that picture. Not going to that event. Not standing by that because that's not what I stand for. Thoughtrave marks perhaps the most important (and unconditional, unpublished, unencumbered) insights into the music industry, the personal battles that accompanied her transition from Stefani to Gaga. "It's one of those rare moments in life when you ask a question of someone you've admired for many years and receive the most honest of answers leading both people into a relationship that was and remains one of the most important of my life," says Baum, a professor, producer, composer, writer, editor, and activist for adjunct professors. As Baum explains to Stefani in one of the many interviews published here for the first time, Robert Craig Baum: It's uncanny for me to look back at 2008-2011 - when I was intensely meditating on the problem "Why is there any being at all?" - to find evidence of your intervention here with me...to find you, back then...before I knew you. It was almost as if I was playing the Bruce Willis character in Twelve Monkeys, overshooting my mark in time/space, aiming for this particular conversation but speaking through Ereignis (life gives) to a moment I (and many others) call "headphones on." As George Elerick writes in his Introduction to the book, "In Hand-to-Hand Battle for the Users," "The book you hold in your hands easily falls into the category of a transgression. It's as though we are breaking into somewhere we are not meant to be (like a rave) and are invited into the mind of one of today's musical geniuses. Maybe we can even equivocate the experience to that of being a member of the paparazzi. Their whole mode of employment is based on breaking social codes and entering into the lives of everyday-people-turned-rock-stars. That's what this book is, a disruptive invitation to break into the life and mind of Lady Gaga, the person, not just the persona."

As Baum explains to Stefani in one of the many interviews published here for the first time, It's uncanny for me to look back at 2008-2011 -- when I was intensely meditating on the problem “Why is there any being at all?” -- to find evidence of your intervention here with me...to find you, back then...before I knew you.

Download or read book Poker Face written by Maureen Callahan and published by Hachette Books. This book was released on 2010-09-14 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Stop feeding me bullshit. Tell me the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2009 "I hate the truth. I hate the truth so much I prefer a giant dose of bullshit any day over the truth." -- Lady Gaga, 2010 In little over a year, Stefani Germanotta, a struggling performer in New York's Lower East Side burlesque scene, has become the global demographic-smashing pop icon known as Lady Gaga. She is a once-in-a-decade artist, a gifted singer, composer, designer, and performance artist who mixes high and low culture, the avant-garde with the accessible, authenticity with artifice. Who is Lady Gaga? She is a twenty-four-year-old woman whose stage mantra -- "I'm a free bitch!" -- is the polar opposite of who she is offstage: isolated, insecure, and unable to be alone. She is an outree artist who wanted to be a sensitive singer-songwriter, whose musical heroes include Britney Spears, Billy Joel, and Bruce Springsteen. She is a woman who says no man can ever compete with her career, but who still isn't over the ex-boyfriend who said she was too ambitious. She claims not to care what people think, but spends her downtime online, reading what people have to say about her. She claims to be a con artist and utterly authentic. She is never less than compelling. Based on over fifty original interviews with friends, employees, rivals, and music industry veterans, Poker Face is the first in-depth biography of the extraordinary cultural phenomenon that is Lady Gaga. Quotes from Poker Face: "It's a privilege to be here tonight to open for Lady Gaga. I've made it." -- President Barack Obama, October 2009 "I remember thinking, 'That could be her. But I hope it's not.'" -- Producer Rob Fusari "Her 'crazy' outfit was putting suspenders on her jeans." -- former classmate "She is perfectly, almost genetically engineered to be a twenty-first-century pop star." -- Eric Garland, CEO, BigChampagne.com "If you looked at her, you'd think she was a jam band chick. She had a heady, grimy vibe." -- former NYU classmate Jon Sheldrick "She's not progressive, but she's a good mimic. She sounds more like me than I f---ing do!" -- Singer/rapper M.I.A. "You won't be able to order a cup of coffee at the f---ing deli without hearing or seeing me." -- Lady Gaga to an ex-boyfriend, 2008

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Three years after entering the pop music scene, Lady Gaga became the most well-known pop star in the world. These thirteen critical essays explore Lady Gaga's body of work through the interdisciplinary filter of performance identity and cover topics such as gender and sexuality, body commodification, visual body rhetoric, drag performance, homosexuality and heteronormativity, Surrealism and the theatre of cruelty, the carnivalesque, monstrosity, imitation and parody, human rights, and racial politics.
