Was Lady Gaga's Summerfest Performance A Fizzle Or Sizzlin' Hot?
The following is a guest post review from continuing guest blogger, Erin Shiely. Erin is reporting from "The World's Largest Music Festival," Summerfest, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, USA:

The show opened with a curtain drop to reveal sets that can only be described as a blank phallic canvas for laser lights and trippy image projections. In a grand entrance Gaga emerged wearing a sparkly bodysuit and wings, carried by a team of scantily clad muscular men. She opened with a string of new songs from her November album Artpop which was met with less than stellar reviews. The little Monsters watched in awe of their decorated pop queen, despite a lack of connection to the songs.

Gaga and her phallic stage design |
A swift change in energy was evident when Gaga asked everyone to “Just Dance.” In a triumphant rendition of old favorites such as “Pokerface”, “Bad Romance”, and “Paparazzi” the crowd awakened into a vibrant rave of singing and dancing. After an energizing slew of songs, Gaga switched gears and captivated the audience with a genuinely heartfelt piano ballad of “Born this Way.” All too often concert-goers are disappointed by an artist’s inability to perform live. Lady Gaga, delivered vocally in a way that most studio performers would only dream of attaining. Her voice prevailed vigorously on every note.

Although Lady Gaga has been made famous for her energetic dance anthems, her enduring message of love and acceptance has spawned a fiercely loyal fan base. Many critics have described Gaga’s latest album as “desperate” or “washed up.” Despite the less successful Artpop album, her little Monsters are more than forgiving. In return Gaga always presents a fabulous spectacle, well worth the price of admission.

NERD ALERT! Super Stoked About Stargate Reboot!
I'm a little late in the game, but I still thought I'd share a note saying, "Woot! Woot!" My favorite sci-fi franchise is getting a reboot, and it's about time! I was pretty sure Stargate had gone to it's starry grave, but no! It has been resurrected. Hallelujah!
According to The Wrap, last month there was an announcement that Roland Emmerich and Dean Devlin, the original 'Stargate' creators are back on board in partnership with MGM & Warner brothers for a new Stargate film, set to be a trilogy. I don't know about you, but I am glad to hear the Stargate universe (not to be confused with the show Stargate Universe) is set to come back to life. Sci-Fi fans have been petitioning to save the franchise for quite some time. The trilogy has a lot to live up to. According to The Wrap, "at the time of “Stargate's” release in 1994, the film set the record for the highest-grossing opening weekend in October and went on to gross nearly $200 million worldwide at the box office."
Will this new trilogy spark a new generation of Stargate fans or will it fizzle flat in comparison to the universe fans so dearly love?
Only time will tell, but this sci-fi nerd will be lined up to see it on opening night.

Is Ultraviolence Ultra Seductive?
The following is a guest post album review by Erin Shiely:
Lana Del Rey has triumphantly returned with the release of her second studio album Ultraviolence. In contrast to her previous albums, Born to Die and Paradise, Ultraviolence exudes a much darker feeling complementary to Lana’s haunting vocals which fans have come to adore. With Dan Auerbach of the Black Keys as producer, the majority of the album keeps a melancholy tempo.
The lead single West Coast offers a taste of 60’s psychedelic, yet a unique contemporary sound. In typical Lana fashion, the lyrics entice the listener with the fantasies and desires of a distressed woman who has an appetite for passion and lavish things. The recurring theme of fatalism comes full circle with the tracks Money Power Glory and F***ed My Way to the Top. There are moments where the imagery and ambiance is near pornographic yet beautiful in its own way. Fans are likely to recognize Lana's maturity as an artist with Ultraviolence but the darker sense may be an acquired taste for some.
