The Lord Almighty Gives Us The Almighty-est, Further Lowers the Veil, Sheds More Truth, Continues to Proclaim Exactly What We’ve Been Telling You All Along (Seriously, we’ve never been kidding about our take on Lady Gaga)

The Lord Almighty Gaga has released her new nearly-14-minute-long music video/film for her latest single ‘Marry the Night’.

In this long-form tale, Narrator Lord Gaga - a character that creeps closer to Stefani Germanotta than even her pale, plain, Jo Calderone-loving character did in the “Yoü and I” video - begins her narration with what might be the most important and indicative quote of her entire career thus far: “And truthfully the lie of it all is much more honest, because, I invented it.”

Here, she exposes the character of Lady Gaga, the other sub-characters of her created tales, the motifs and metaphors and moves that even now, pop culture and society still seems to take as Lady Gaga’s real reality.  When in fact, it is all a fabrication, an extension of performance art that we’ve never really seen before, because there have never been this many outlets to “perform” before, because life itself has never been so much of a “performance” stage than it is today.

“It’s not that I’ve been dishonest, it’s just that I loathe reality,” she continues. ”For example, those nurses are wearing next season Calvin Klein, and so am I.”  Yes, yes, exactly, exactly exactly exactly.

Another line worthy of laud and a notable piece of her argument on what is fame is said by her mental patient character a few minutes in: “I’m gonna be a star, you know why?… Because - I have nothing left to lose.”

Nearly all irony aside (wait, no, c’est impossible!), this is quite an epic video with a lot of revealing insight to the Lord Almighty.  It’s a little Black Swan-sy, it’s a little self-referential-y, but it perfectly plays into the point of “What’s the point?”  There are clearly some key points of meaning to dissect from this video, but not too much, because it still teeters along Gaga’s tricky tightrope of post-post-modern wonderment of whether it all means everything or it all is silly meaningless nothing.  It is both, it is almost always both, and that is the power of the Lord Gaga.  

But like so many of her complex and convoluted music videos, the parable will surely go lost on all.  The mainstream, her predominant “low-culture” audience, will find it too confusing and twisted to understand… While the intellectuals, the scholars, the “high-culture” authority will simply ignore it because it is, well, Gaga.  But this happily leaves us, the Curators, as part of the few who tread atop that ever-narrowing line of observers of, commentators of and preachers of the phenomenon that is the Lord Almighty Gaga.

Praise her name.

Miley Cyrus’ Official ‘Tribute to the Occupy Wall Street Movement’ Music Video we’ve all been waiting for is here!

Preach it, Miley Cyrus!

Looking to show her solidarity and support for the #Occupy movement, Miley has posted a music video full of Occupy / protesting footage from around the world to the tune of a remix of her sorta-recent song that not many people knew about, “Liberty Walk”.

We look forward to Miley’s future involvement in the Occupy movement and hope to see her in the upcoming days at Occupy L.A.

Here’s the video, in case you actually wanna see it:

Above is the greatest image that comes to us from the Lord Almighty Gaga’s new music video for her song “Yoü and I”.  
The photo snapshot above is of Gaga playing a presumably younger version of the main-character-Lord Gaga featured in the music video, kissing her former-and-by-the-end-of-the-video-again boyfriend, a rough and tumblr Nebraskan, who is also played by none other than the Lord Almighty Gaga himself.
The male character she portrays is featured on the single’s album art (see below):

We will be posting and presenting the full music video later today.
For now, enjoy the fact that the video features the Lord Almighty’s former female version making out with her former male version.

From Birth to Baptism, let the New Holy Religion of Gagaism continue…

With a more subtle but easily enthralling message of Biblical goodness, sinning and man-on-man quarrel, here in the Museum lies Lord Almighty Gaga’s “JUDAS”. 

P.S. We’re secretly hoping that there’s a lot of backlash against this video because Jesus is more or less Latino.

The Museum Curators are proud to say that while taking a week-long hiatus to fully enjoy the non-post-ironic side of life for a bit, this went viral, and we had no clue.

So in keeping with the better-late-than-never theme that we are often stuck having achieved, here is the latest internet sensation banger that you will surely wish you hadn’t heard… enjoy the talent of Rebecca Black as she “sings” her debut “single”, “Friday”.

Happy almost Friday, everyone.  Except not at all.

The Museum would like to take this moment to inform you of how everything we’ve ever told you about the Lord Almighty Gaga has always been absolutely correct.

For the Lord Almighty hath riseth again!  And in case you didn’t believe us before that she will be re-writing the Bible / start a new religious revolution, here is all the proof we can possibly offer you.

“This is the Manifesto of Mother Monster”…

A new music video has been added to the historically-unparalleled collection of the work of the Great Lord Gaga.  This is “BORN THIS WAY”, a 7-minute journey into the Birth of Gaga, the birth of the future, and the upcoming religion of Gagaism.

This time, we the Followers of the Eternal Mother Monster are introduced to the “not finite, but infinite” birth of the Human Gaga, as The Lord Almighty Mother Monster pushes her out of her sticky womb and presides over all.  This new-skool immaculate conception for the 21st century paves the way to “a new race, a race within the race of humanity, a race which bears no precedent, no judgement, but boundless freedom.”

(Here in lies why we’ve often referred to Lady Gaga as Jesus 2.0… this is not a drill, this is real, the Human Gaga in this case is the new and improved and in our opinion hotter Jesus Christ)

But simultaneously, the birth of the Human Gaga comes along with the birth of Evil, a metaphor for the contrast of these two sides which reside within all humans.  This begins the “dance” of the “pendulum of choice” between the two sides.  Omnipotent Narrator Gaga finally declares that although it would seem natural to always gravitate towards good, the Born Gaga wonders, “How can I protect something so perfect without evil?”

Thus in lies the question and ultimate goal of the Human Gaga, and of the religion of Gaga as a whole: how to protect the good against evil without evil.  

Within this question/goal is the reason in which Lord Gaga is Jesus 2.0… she depicts a more realistic Jesus version that is much more believable by not being bound by solely good but also possessing the great potential of evil, something that makes the original Jesus Christ somewhat out-of-touch for the average 21st Century person.

To be born with the potential to sin makes the journey of the Human Gaga more intriguing than the journey of original Jesus, whose inability to ever potentially sin (as the Bible suggests) makes him extremely revere-able, but doesn’t allow for that exciting or twisted of a tale.  With this Evil, along with Mother-Monster-immaculate-conception-granted Good, Human Lord Gaga’s story is more indeterminate and thus will be far more captivating to watch as we the religious spectator watch the full story of Gaga unfold.

While nothing is set in stone because of her potential to sin, the song itself provides the general hope for triumph, as she and we are “on the right track, baby”.  We were born this way.

-

Yes, Museum-goers, Gagaism is truly beginning to unfold.

Hope you were able to digest all of the above.  We apologize if we have alienated a large percentage of the population because of the too-lofty-and-too-over-the-top ideas presented above.   Oh wait, this is Art of Mod, we do that everyday.

Enjoy the music video and the resulting religious message you gain from watching it.

Long live the Lord Almighty.

“This is an Artifact of Modernity” Music Video of the Day (11/9/10):

17 year old Miley Cyrus finally realizes that she’s losing her core group of fans by her increased sluttiness, so she tones it down and gets way more modest for her new music video.

Oh wait, nope, that’s a huge lie… this shit is filthy and hypersexual and makes us feel a little awkward for watching it.  So basically, we’re sure you and all your pervert friends are gonna love this shit.

Enjoy the song and video for her new single in Europe, “Who Owns My Heart?”, an unsophisticated bizarre “dance anthem (?)” whose chorus asks, 

“Who owns my heart?  Is it love or is it art?”

Wait, what?

The Museum presents: Miley Cyrus at the Museum

Somewhere-between-Former-and-Current tweenstar Miley Destiny Hope Cyrus has just released a music video for her upcoming single, “Can’t Be Tamed”.  

Warning: in the video, she plays a pre-historic bird.  Also, the video depicts her as being featured in a museum, which is why we find it especially fitting to be included in this Museum.

Enjoy the following example of teenage developmental growth (via Milezz):

Three cheers for pop culture acknowledgement of the importance and value of museums everywhere!
