The Capital Children's Choir cover Spiritualized's So Long you Pretty Thing, and Florence and the Machine, Lady Gaga, Bjork, Guns N' Roses, among others. From the group's about page: The Capital Children’s Choir began in 2001 when a small group of 10 year old girls asked Rachel to start a singing club in St. John’s Wood, London. Over the years, the little group continued to grow and currently involves well over one hundred children from around the capital. They of course have facebook and twitter pages. No matter how you cut it, they've racked up an impressive list of performances.

A Number of Notable Business Cards

gilrain — Tue, 22 Jan 2013 09:53:34 -0800

"This week, we discovered an utterly charming card used by Isaac Asimov ('natural resource' is right) and, inspired, began hunting for more famous peoples' business cards, whether boilerplate or highly designed, staid or comical."

We Will Survive Capitalism! flash mob with US Uncut [previously] and the Brass Liberation Orchestra
Previous BLO flash mobs include Bad Hotel [previously], Operation Hey Mackey [previously], and "PAY UP!" (demanding Bank of America pay their taxes). Speaking of BofA, in San Francisco on Thursday activists turned every Bank of America ATM in the city into an Automated Truth Machine, using special non-adhesive stickers designed to look exactly like BoA’s ATM interface. But instead of checking and savings accounts, these new menus offered a list of everything BoA customers’ money is being used for, including investment in coal-fired power plants, foreclosure on Americans’ homes, bankrolling of climate change, and paying for fat executive bonuses. More renditions of I Will Survive Capitalism, at the November 2nd Oakland General Strike: BLO without dance troupe; larger dance troupe, without the BLO [rehearsal/instructional video] Dancing without Borders' One People flash mob at Occupy Oakland kickstarting the November 19, 2011 Action march [instructional video, edited video of performances in Oakland and SF] More flash mob bank protests (some amusical): Flash Protest inside a Bank of America in Brunswick, Maine demands banks pay their fair share; Occupy Philadelphia flash mob dances at a Wells Fargo; Occupy Portland sings and mic-checks inside Wells Fargo; OccupySF occupies Bank of America with a tent; OccupySF sings and dances to "Occupy Telephone" inside Wells Fargo; Opponents of Ohio Senate Bill 5 target the Huntington Bank for a flash mob. They cited the bank's campaign contributions to politicians that support the collective-bargaining reform bill. Led by officials from Progress Ohio, They sang a modified "Hang On Sloopy" in the bank lobby. And now for something completely different, a few flash mobs by banks: employees of Lake Sunapee Bank dance at a Farmers' Market in Newport, NH; flash mob at Whitney Bank employee meeting; professional dancers hired by TD Bank perform in New York City; many dancers, percussionists, and a choir hired by Wells Fargo perform in Times Square I began this post after following links from this tweet about the arrest of the BLO's Lauren Montana Swiger, who credited in the description of the first video as "magic wrangler, organizer, dance instructor". This 20 minute clip of SF State Journalism teacher Justin Beck's ustream follows her distraught daughter from the police station where she was arrested to the Hall of Justice where she is presently being held.

Gaga singing into my vagina: [SLYT] "Ok, it was my sister's and my dad's birthday the day I met Gaga. So I asked her if she could wish them a happy birthday into my crotch, because we couldn't bring phones up and I snuck it into my pants. This is what she said, well sang. _{Not my vagina.

Insert Tim Cappello Joke/GIF Here

Is the epic saxophone solo returning to pop music? With recent good time summer radio hits by ubiquitous hit makers Katy Perry and Lady Gaga featuring an unexpected saxophone solo, is this a hint towards a return of the woodwind as a staple in rock/pop music or just ironic posturing from vapid "tastemakers"?

I don't give a fuck about money.

Howard Stern and Robin Quivers sat down for a 90 minute interview with Lady Gaga. In it, they talk about sex, drugs, music, success, personal history, trials and tribulations, and whether or not her parents call her Stephanie or Gaga. It was posted to Soundcloud, and you can listen to it here.

and they even included Robyn!

Using album & digital song sales, Hot 100 rankings, radio airplay, YouTube views, social media, concert grosses, industry awards and critics' ratings, Rolling Stone compares sixteen female artists to name the Queen of Pop. Don't agree with the way they did things? Popdust defends Rolling Stone's methodology.

THIS POST DESIGNED TO CREATE A MEFI CIVIL WAR

mightygodking — Wed, 20 Apr 2011 11:04:32 -0800

"Weird" Al Yankovic wanted to do a parody of Lady Gaga's "Born This Way," so he did what he usually does: he contacted the artist and asked permission. Lady Gaga said she'd have to hear the lyrics, so Weird Al wrote the lyrics and sent them to her. Gaga then said she's have to actually hear the song, so Weird Al went into the studio and recorded it - at which point Gaga refused to give her permission. Weird Al responded by doing something he's never done in his entire career: he's asserted his fair use rights and made an unapproved parody available to the public.

iTr3vor does not seem to know how to un-mirror his video clips and has only the vaguest understanding of copyright law. But he does like dancing in Apple Stores to the works of Britney Spears, Lady Gaga, and Rebecca Black, among others.

Musicians@Google Presents: Google Goes Gaga. A 1h13m video interview with Stefani Joanne Angelina Germanotta, mostly fan-submitted questions. I can't say I'm one of her little monsters, but it seems like it's an interview worth watching even for people like me.
