Lady Gaga To Sing In Space In 2015: I Guess This Is How ‘Event Horizon’ Becomes Reality
Current pop queen Lady Gaga has announced that she will be performing a song (yes, one song) in space during the three-day Zero G Colony Music Festival in New Mexico. According to the source of this news (courtesy of US Weekly), the singer will need “…to do a month of vocal training because of the atmosphere,” and her whole entourage will be joining her. The source adds, “Gaga has taken out a ridiculous life insurance policy!”
Okay, barring the fact that Chris Hadfield already did this, this is just a stupid, unnecessary publicity stunt. There’s nothing artistic about this endeavor nor does this bring the proper attention to the Virgin Galactic program. The space trips are meant to be something wondrous and awesome (proper usage intended), not a chance for Gaga to ignore the astonishing sights outside her window so that she can belt out a track for people who’d rather see her in person than on a screen.
Also, while her dressing strangely used to be cute and charming, it’s now been shoved off the edge into insanity. If some alien race were to come nearby and see this as a representation of our species, then I’m sure we’re 100% f*^ked. Can you imagine Gaga as some perverted, twisted form of Event Horizon‘s Dr. Weir? Yeah, I’ll just eject myself out of an airlock pronto, thank you very much.

It’s a new day, and you’ve got new John Carpenter to listen to. John Carpenter, Daniel Davies and Cody Carpenter have released the new track He Walks By Night this morning, the second single off their upcoming album Lost Themes IV: Noir, out May 3 on Sacred Bones Records.
Lost Themes IV: Noir is the latest installment in a series that sees Carpenter releasing new music for John Carpenter movies that don’t actually exist. The first Lost Themes was released in 2015, followed by Lost Themes II in 2016 and Lost Themes III: Alive After Death in 2021.
Sacred Bones previews, “It’s been a decade since John Carpenter recorded the material that would become Lost Themes, his debut album of non-film music and the opening salvo in one of Hollywood’s great second acts. Those vibrant, synth-driven songs, made in collaboration with his son Cody Carpenter and godson Daniel Davies, kickstarted a musical renaissance for the pioneering composer and director. With Lost Themes IV: Noir, they’ve struck gold again, this time mining the rich history of the film noir genre for inspiration.
“Since the first Lost Themes, John has referred to these compositions as “soundtracks for the movies in your mind.” On the fourth installment in the series, those movies are noirs. Like the film genre they were influenced by, what makes these songs “noirish” is sometimes slippery and hard to define, and not merely reducible to a collection of tropes. The scores for the great American noir pictures were largely orchestral, while the Carpenters and Davies work off a sturdy synth-and-guitar backbone.
“The trio’s free-flowing chemistry means Lost Themes IV: Noir runs like a well-oiled machine—the 1951 Jaguar XK120 Roadster from Kiss Me Deadly, perhaps, or the 1958 Plymouth Fury from John’s own Christine. It’s a chemistry that’s helped power one of the most productive stretches of John’s creative life, and Noir proves that it’s nowhere near done yielding brilliant results.”
