Radio Artpop -- Week 1 -- My New Job as Audio Manager

Hello, Radio ARTPOP Fans and Listeners!

Today marks Day One of my new job at RadioArtPop.com as your Downloads Manager!
Here I will be presenting you with the very best Gaga sounds to feed your Pop Heart, and plug into your Ipods, phones, cars, or headphones!

Let me introduce myself to you...

My name is Katharine, aka "ChicaSkas" in the fanbase. I love music!

I've been collecting Gaga music since 2008, and I've got literally thousands of different versions of almost all the songs she's ever recorded.  Starting with remixes, I soon moved on to lives, instrumentals, acapellas, stems, orchestrals, TV performances, radio interviews, bootlegs, unreleased material, fan edits, and collaborations.

 This is what my Lady Gaga Collection looks like in real life:


Each small binder holds between 20 and 40 CD-R's. All of those CD-R's are burned with 70+ minutes each... and that means you are looking at roughly 17,000 Gaga songs in this picture! Pretty cool, huhn? Since then, I realized I couldn't keep burning CD-R's forever, so I moved on to external harddrives to house the rest.

Currently, I work for a couple of other Gaga Fansites as their Media Moderator and Archivist, you can visit me on  www.gagadaily.com, www.operationgaga.com, and www.propagaga.com.

Audio Set --- Week 1



I chose to represent something from every Gaga album we have so far, as well as an unreleased track as the cherry on top to cap it off.

1. Paparazzi (Almixo Dubstep) (2012) represents "The Fame". I love the sound of this remix, it was put out by Nu Venture Records in 2012.

2. Bad Romance (Tango Version) circa 2010 is a nod to "The Fame Monster". We have no idea who recorded this awesome remix. If you know, tell me!

3. Born This Way (Hedegaard and Brandon Beal Remix) (2011) is a rarely heard alternate recording of Born This Way! Check out the different lyrics! I felt this one should be my homage to that album.

4. Aura (Boyfriends Killed The Vouge Remix) (2013) is a really hot club banger of a song to represent the ARTPOP era. I can imagine strutting down a runway just slaying in my pajamas to this one! "I'll see YOU after the function!" 

5. Nothing On But The Radio (Brian Cua Radio-ified Edit) (circa 2011). This one is a hotly debated song, some people say it's Gaga, some don't, I personally think it IS her voice, but what do I know? :)
