Dance Music Deluxe With Roots In the Past

This is music for the close of the age of Neoconservatism and the precipitous fall of the Age of Excess. It has emotional energy and emotional detachment. The instrumentals grab you; the lyrics stab you with an iciness only Dick Cheney could have engendered from his secure and undisclosed location. Lyrics so calculating, so egocentric, so into the flash, so, what can you do? Just Dance!
If this were only a celebration of the excesses of our culture, material and egoistic it would be a flash in the pan. An enjoyable flash but that only. Listen deeply - echoes of Liverpool, hell a straight up Beatles wannabe song, will hit your ears. I think the Lady is trying to tell us something. The lads from Liverpool changed a musical generation, or three, in ways they could not even imagine. There are changes coming. The Lady Gaga knows it and can't keep from telling us.
The Fame is deeper than it looks, as good as it sounds and hopefully the beginning of more to come.
