Music to Watch Boys To: Official Music Video
smoledman replied to Subversive's topic in New Releases
The video has a hypnotic quality to it. My favorite moment is at 4:23 when she flashes a nice big smile. -
Hold your horses! Longevity is 10-15 years. It's only been 4 years since "Video Games" came out. Let's see if she really will have that kind of staying power. I believe she is built to last past these hip-hop & twerking fads of the day.

Has she ever heard the expression "take a long walk off a short pier"? What a tool.
-
It'll never sell Taylor Swift type #s but this is not really "music for the masses". It's for a more discerning taste. It's like the difference between Pepsi and a merlot.

Honeymoon 1.0. It sounds light years ahead of BTD and definitely more sophisticated then UV. These are the best songs she's ever done.
-
Maybe I made a mistake, and Beats 1 simply played the song 2x from 9:30 to 9:38? It's really only 4:17 long?

Blowing up the helicopter with a steampunk grenade launcher made my day.
-
The song I heard on Beats 1 went on for 8+ minutes. Is this a video edit?
-
So what is the length of it? I thought on Beats 1 it went on for 8 minutes?
-
Our Lizzy Grant has sure come a long way since "Video Games". What a shattering masterpiece.

Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread
smoledman replied to ilovetati's topic in Retired Pre-Release Threads
Love the new song, it's exactly what I was hoping for! I'm so gratified she isn't going all hip-hop or Taylor Swift on us. She is staying true to her path. For people complaining about that it's "slow", songs like this used to be made back in the 30s-50s. Look up Edith Piaf. Lana's influences are vast and wide. -
Slowdive - Pygmalion

One of my favorite LDR songs. I love the whole southern California feel of it. You almost think that Lana is some re-incarnated 1960s starlet who drowned in a swimming pool while smoking Parliaments.

Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread

Why is the "music press"(they don't really understand music, they have no music degrees and don't create any) constantly question her songwriting skills? -
Kate Bush and Tori Amos say hello.

Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth criticizes Lana in memoir
smoledman replied to Deleted User's topic in Latest News
It's a simple idea. If you're not 100% on board with 3rd wave feminism/social justice warrior-ey agenda, than you re the enemy. Doesn't matter if you're Lana Del Rey or a man. Submit or else. -
Kscope Sweet Billy Pilgrim - Coloma Blues (from Motorcade Amnesiacs) This song is so addictive!

Sorry but Lorde is an annoying little twit who should just go away already.

The in-crowd despire Lana because she truly "marches to her own drummer" and it isn't anything THEY approve of. She truly represents outsiders, the misfit, the others. I hope she never sells out. -

Just listened to "Hollywood" for the first time. Is this the first time Lana does a song in an 1980s sounding style? -
Which Ultraviolence Track is the Theme Song of Your Life?
smoledman replied to MermaidMotelle's topic in Games
Definitely MONEY POWER GLORY! -
I think Lana is very ambivalent about performing live. She definitely enjoys the songwriting & recording process, but touring is just a big grind the way it's been happening. She needs to rethink how it's done and make it more like special events rather then just doing all the same gigs again just with newer songs. Make each concert a theatrical type event. Leverage her talent for visuals somehow. That is so early 2012. You'd think the media would have a new angle by now.
