Why is the 99 cent issue such a big deal? Its not like people weren't going to buy it anyways.

Some of you really need to get your grip.
Keep it classy and legit - that's how I want this fanbase to look like.

I've made a self-record of getting warning points tonight.
It's certainly worth it, though.

someone posted this interview on tumblr and here's a snippet
What sort of thing are people writing for you? What do they think Lady Gaga should sing about?
Boys and dicks. *****. *****. 'I'm in the club'. It's funny because there's not really one song on this album that's about any of that. There's no songs about getting drunk in a nightclub. 'Electric Chapel' is the closest. 'Government Hooker' is very filthy and sexual...But..There are no songs that are all 'ooh I want you in my bed', although they do feel very sexy. Very soulful, but not in a 'soul music' kind of way. I think people are now becoming slightly blind to the outfits and they're asking what the ****'s underneath it. And that's where this album comes in.

oh this part is good too
Do you have conversations like that with your label?
I used to. On the last album they wanted...(Drifts off) I still have them with my manager, but not with my label. The label didn't want me to use the 'crying' cover with the black hair for 'The Fame Monster'. I chose two covers, both shot by Hedi Slimane, and put the one I wanted on the Deluxe version. Which was over-ordered and sold like crazy. They'd say to me, 'it's not beautiful', and I'd say, 'yes it is', they'd say, 'it looks scary', I'd say, 'the last thing anyone needs is another ****ing beautiful woman in a bikini rolling around on the floor next to a palm tree'. Oh, maybe I shouldn't have said that...I don't want to be rude. The album wasn't about being beautiful, it was about being afraid of things, so I thought the photo better related to the music. Back then we were still at a point with the label where relating album art to music meant nothing to them. We're now in a different place.

It feels like the 'Hair' / 'Road to Love' / 'The Edge of Glory' sound is like the heart or the blueprint or whatever of the album and the rest of it is draped around it...It feels like the experience of listening to this album is completely different to the experience of listening to the 'The Fame Monster', just like 'The Fame Monster' was different to 'The Fame'.
Well, isn't it nice to play 'Abbey Road' next to 'Sergeant Pepper'? You know, when you go back - not to liken myself to The Beatles but if I'm going to try to become anything then I should go for the most legendary band of all time - The Beatles sound completely different between those two albums, but if it wasn't for those two being different, 'Sergeant Pepper' being completely revolutionary and everyone hating it when it first came out, we wouldn't love The Beatles like we love them today. The took a tremendous risk with that album. Anyway, my point is, I think it's the evolution of me as an artist that people will be able to believe in me more as a true artist. And it's that evolution which will also secure my longevity. (Pauses) I wanted to say something else! You say that 'Hair' is the blueprint, the hall mark of your exploration of the album, right? However, how disappointing would it be if every song was exactly the same? I could go through every song and have all of those specific elements, but I very specifically have not done that because I want the album to be a journey and I want the whole experience of the journey to be like this. So there will be moments when it will peak - like with 'Edge of Glory' which is a major techno rock moment, and with 'Hair' but there will also be moments like 'Bloody Mary'.
