Gaga for Icons of Filth


I'm mildly shocked to discover that there are only two degrees of separation (well, sort of) between myself and Lady Gaga. One: In the early '80s I used to frequent the same Cardiff nightclub (Nero's) as Stig (RIP), lead singer of Welsh crusties Icons of Filth. As I recall he used to sport a very impressive 'twiglet' hairdo. Two: For her latest video Lady Gaga dresses up as an anarcho-punk and wears a studded leather jacket with an Icons of Filth patch on the right arm (see pic)! Small world innit.
