PARTYNAUSEOUS in it's current form is wayyy overrated. Stache is better. :oops:

It seems like Partynauseous has a slight lead in the polls but it can change at any time.. :teehee:

I've stopped listening to LQ / fanmade versions of Partynauseous only because I get so angry knowing that it will never have a proper release. It would be a top 10 track for me if the (early) ArtRAVE version ever got to streaming.

Stache SHOULD be compared more to Cake Like Lady Gaga because they were just fun between era songs they did. Stache is a pre-existing Zedd song from his first album she just sang over and CLLG was just a random beat Paul made when they were bored and she decided to “rap” (terribly) over the beat when they were in Brazil

“There’s No Exit we’re in Jean Paul Sartre … there’s no particular drug that I love … psychotic music head,” the ‘stache/beard / stache/stash / love/drug/music triptychs baked in with Stache’s production alone … felt low-key proper old symbolism concrete poetry underground pop civilization levels of layered pop songwriting that felt so impeccably “I guess sir, if you say so, some of us just like to read” foreshadow finesse

“Hi I want to, come and make peace with you; but they won’t let me, no, they won’t let me through / I don’t mind if they, a-arrest me, ‘cos I’m wearing, my Versace … whether it’s at first, or after a few, drinks, we’re going to, unite—don’t they” … set the groundwork for some solid hidden-in-plain-subversion as well

I have been equally obsessed with each of these at one point. I picked Stache bc it’s actually a finished song and feels complete and high quality. 
 

but I just listened to both again and I might need to change my answer to partynauseous….

The line you quoted from Stache and the comparison to Applause’s lyrics actually illustrates what I dislike about both: they don the pretense of poeticism with very little to say. The “No Exit” reference goes precisely nowhere and has nothing to say about the text it’s referencing, much in the way that Applause’s lyrics are basically just a braggadocio track knocking down strawmen left and right in Scary Monsters era Bowie drag.

That‘s what I love about Pop music, interpretations are that much more predicated upon the lived experiences of the listener, or I guess that peculiar balance between each listener’s own personal experiences and cultural/universal contexts … all of that is to say, sometimes, with music, it’s just building narrative association from those needle drop “blink” first impressions …

So, with Stache, for instance, the JPS No Exit (to abbreviate a larger discourse into a comparative synopsis), immediately just presented the ill-fated love triangle plot structure, then the rest of the song felt like it operated within that aspect, so everything unfolded from the dragon-chasing triptych … at that point in the ARTPOP era, especially with Aura and Venus (although tbh I was in and out during the ARTPOP rollout … I was out of the loop during the whole development cataclysm, checked back in during the iTunes festival through the VMA and Applause, then fell out for awhile, and sort of just caught up to speed around SxSwine, G.U.Y., and artRAVE, so I’m not too positive on the prominent thematics during development) it felt like she was exploring some divine feminine / next wave/post-wave feminist motifs, so that echoed the sense of the “stache“ as a beard-adjacent or alt-beard (tying back into the character profiles in Sartre’s No Exit) … where‘s her stache … then the shift to the drug motif—the “stash” stache— continuing that there is no (conventional) drug that she wants or loves, but it does not negate her potential indulgence in narcotics to temporarily satiate or substitute for the primary human object of affection (which, again, to the stache/beard/no exit plot, could be taboo, or unrequited, or just patently unattainable in practical physical reality … hell is other people) … then to the climax of “psychotic music head” … to her point (paraphrasing) “Music f—ks me up like no other” … music is the ultimate love, drug, elixir … and to be honest, the suitors and substances, at that point of obsessive music psychosis, are all just manifestations of her cardinal fidelity to music, the ultimate love supreme 

But … neither here nor there … just observations in the rationale of, even if that’s not how it was written, that’s how it reads within a capacity … I’ll digress here … and leave Applause discourse for another play
