good night, good night

I'll cop to partially staying up to catch 'Telephone' on E! and then fell into the trap of online flash games and now it's past 1am and I'm still awake.

Thoughts on Telephone:

* The continuity between this and 'Videophone' pleases me.
* I love how Gaga's video was a little wackier than Beyonce's but both flow into each other.
* If I try very hard can I make all of Gaga's videos one big continuous story? I may think about this more later.
* Once again I go on my quest for stories based off of music videos. Anyone able to lend a hand?
* Not as great as 'Bad Romance' but it's distinctive and I don't know if she could top 'Bad Romance' so that's something.

I watched Telephone a while ago too and I loved it. Bad Romance is hard to top, but this was fun and Gaga and made me want to see Gaga/Beyonce-slash so hard. (So did Videophone, but to slightly lesser extent.)

I thought about the big continuous story too, so I hope you think about it later! Trying to make one big story our of somebody's music videos was something I liked to do as a kid, and Gaga is pretty much the first artist in ages who made me want to start doing that again.

You've probably tried this already, but both the old Yuletide-archive and last year's archive had some music video-based stories. Sadly I don't think I've seen stories like that anywhere else, though. Which is a pity because stories like that are really, really fun.
