Welcome!

I always wonder why the first post in new communities says something like, "Welcome!", when there's nobody here to welcome. What are you playing at?

Anyhow, this is a work in progress. I shall attempt to prettymake a layout, lawyerfake some guidelines, and make this a fun community for sharing things that just strike us as TOTAL WIN.

Music News: Lady Gaga and Scissor Sisters UNITE!

[graemebones]

I don't have time to make a proper post, as I need to be out the door for work in five minutes, but I found a piece of news that ROCKED MY WORLD. I don't know how I missed it, since I follow both feeds on Facebook, but it took a little visit to Perez Hilton land for me to discover it...

What do you get when you cross the Scissor Sisters with Lady Gaga? A 2011 Tour!

Pardon me while I crap myself. And then cry. Because it's just... too... beautiful.

Let us begin with a small lesson in history.

Well hey there, folks.

Let's get this fine little space kicked off right, shall we?

I have something for you- slightly old, if we go by the internet calculator of age (where five minutes after it was broadcast on twitter, it may as well have occurred in the Mesozoic era.)

Why is it awesome? Because it is history. It is drama. It is passion, tragedy, and the rise and decline of an empire. It is stunning visual history encapsulated in imagery that speaks to the very roots of my people. More than that, it uses a common musical theme that unites all us geeks in general (tetris, anyone?)

Without further adieu, let me go ahead and welcome this act fully onto the stage... Ladies and gentlemen, I give you The Complete History Of The Soviet Union, Arranged To The Melody Of Tetris by Pigwiththefaceofaboy. Enjoy.
