It's happy days for the little monsters with Lady Gaga's new album dropping last week. I've followed Lady Gaga's musical journey from her early albums and especially after seeing her perform live at her 2009 Monster Ball Tour. I've always respected her ability to move between genres and see this album bringing different components of her past work together. I quite enjoyed listening on repeat as I put this week's scooop together and hope you do as well. - Moral

With an initial objective to spend six months and a tiny budget to create it, his plans are put in peril by Covid lockdowns, break-ins, a cash crisis, and even a fire, as he battles to transform a treacherous derelict building."
