Album review: Lady GaGa – "The Fame"

The CD spine says Lady GaGa, but music for "The Fame" was actually co-written by Bilal Hajji, Josh Schwartz and a handful of other less attractive, more talented songwriters who churn out star-making cuts for the likes of Britney Spears and Nick Carter. You won't see the funnily-named song writer Brian Kierulf on "The Hills," but GaGa, a Factory Girl in training, hit up an Audrina party on said program thanks in large part to catchy, beat-heavy club cuts like "Paparazzi" and "Money Honey." Don't equate GaGa with fluff. She flourishes lyrically - "Let's have some fun, this beat is sick." And she pulls her weight in marketing: Rob Fusari can't rock jet-black spandex, and Martin Kierszenbaum doesn't sell records.

OPINION  |  LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Codes don’t replace conscience

While I think it's great that Student Body President Kevin Reilly and Student Senate President Jordan Johnson say they want to end the corruption in Student Government, ethics seminars and rewriting the "weak" SG Code of Ethics will not accomplish their goals.
