So, so, who won the GAGA AWARDS???
Of course, it's Overpowered by Róisín Murphy who wins this year! I couldn't stop listening to this song, because it's simple, nice song which I could identify with. I liked the fact that she tells how she forgot a guy ("When I think that I'm over you, I'm overpowered"), but also that she wonders how she got into him in the first place, and whether it's a pure biolemolecular phenomenon ("As science struggles on to try to explain, oxytoxins flowing ever into my brain"). Well yeah, it's kind of like what happened to me this year. And I must have talked about this song about 30000 times here. However, I hesitated a bit with Total Information Awareness by Trans Am, but I'll write a specific post for this one.
It's hard to say which concert is better than another. A concert is an atmosphere, a music, a band, the mood of this band as well, an audience, and stuff. You can see the same band twice in the same conditions and have a different feeling. this year, the best concert I went to was the first concert of the Midnight Juggernauts at the Scala on March 20th. The room was hysterical, the music explosive and I was totally drunk. I would add a distinction to Metronomy because they were good and also very funny on stage.
Once again, no surprise, this price goes to Dystopia by the Midnight Juggernauts. They will have been ;y revelation of the year. Their electro-pop-rock music with space disco accents drives me crazy. Their album is a sequence of hits, but not only. It's also a whole universe, made of cosmic trips and planetary revolutions, that is explored. My only fear now is that their next album will be just a copy of this one. But I want it to be about the same universe, still. We'll see!
No hesitation, Waking Life by Richard Linklater will have been another revelation! It's one of the most unconventional movies I've ever seen. It's impossible to tell the story, even though it's very simple. Scenes, not necessarily linked, follow each other in this movie questioning life, the individual, society, mankind, history, time, the world... what particularly struck me is the scene in which a guy explains the quantic theory that I had just read about in Stephen Hawking's book. This movie can give headaches and I had to watch it several times. The ending is successful. In a nutshell, you must see it!
Well, I've just talked about it... A Brief History of Time by Stephen Hawking has been the book that has changed me the most this year, because it's the book that ended my deterministic vision of the world. I talked about it before so I won't make a whole review again! The Alchemist was not too bad either.
Oh, it's a tie! From a purely emotional viewpoint, the unexpected victory of Hillary Clinton in the democratic primaries of New Hampshire pretty much shook me. Hillary, that I had supported for months, was expected to lose badly in this State, and she made it. It was spectacular! Then, from a rational viewpoint, the financial crisis was a major event this year.
Well Slate. A website that can be insightful, specific and funny at the same time. Pointless to say more!
I love geek humour. XKCD is just the best in this area.
So, the most waited GAGA AWARD for my readers... (Suspens...) The winner of the GAGA AWARD of the blog of the year is... Mauvaise Langue! Congrats! A blog with short, straight to the point, funny and irreverent posts, in which you can find characters such as La Grosse Gouine (the Big Fat Dyke) and Lola Lopsa ("Lopsa" being slang for "Salope", that is "Bitch"), in which you can learn how to give a good blowjob and in which words can shock even the crack addicts down my street. And this is how we like Mauvaise Langue! (Long applause, standing ovation, Mauvaise Langue's JU takes the mike for his victory speech and then... well, I let him do if he wants to!) I will still give a distinction to VUBOQ for this post.
I had to find a way to award Laurent for his hot kisses, so I created this GAGA AWARD especially for him: Embruns wins this GAGA AWARD of honour for his whole work. Bravo, Captain!
Well, regarding the post of the year, I had only 2 votes!! What's wrong, guys?! I can't declare a winner with that! So I give you an extra week to express yourselves. You can find the list of pre-selected posts and vote there. What can I do to motivate you to vote? Let you win another jockstrap?!
