Great article, thanks for the tip! Except their description of Gesaffelstein which is very cheap. He already released a tons of remix and a couple of EPs, he's always on tour everywhere and he dropped this masterpiece 3 days ago *sneaky promotion*

Bound 2 has a really good vibe, the way the samples are used reminds of Ye's first albums. Uh-huh, honey

I know. She listens to only singles by music legends (The Doors! Elvis! Bob Dylan! Frank Sinatra! Biggie!), strictly reads canonized literature (Lolita! Leaves of Grass! Howl!), and only appreciates classic films (The Godfather! The Godfather Part II! American Beauty!). Her taste isn't nuanced or inspired (see: "Oh, I just like the masters of every genre"). It's laughable when she claims that she has a ~true appreciation for the arts, she lives and breathes it, and simply can't be bothered to be affiliate with those she believes doesn't~ when it seems her current* taste is dependent on whether or not the artist/work in question has reached a revered status. 
 
Her inspirations read like a compilation of ~the best of the best~ from the who-sayers and taste-makers of "classic" work, these influential, "renowned" American media institutions. It's almost as though she trailed her finger up and down Rolling Stone's 100 Greatest Artists of All Time, American Film Institute's Greatest Films and Greatest Contemporary Works of the 20th Century** when choosing her influences...
 
No one can truly call into question something as deeply personal and visceral as one's passion for any given thing. It is impossible for me to make the case that Lana's excessively trite influences somehow diminish her ability to "...care about music deeply..." or to "...really [live] it and [breathe] it." Still, if I can't definitively say that Lana's passion for music is diminished because of her cookie-cutter influences, then who is she to say that others "...don't actually care about music and art" and that "they want to be cool"? Who said that she's the absolute authority in appreciating music and poetry and art? Even more compelling: Why is the person who ruthlessly had their authenticity called into question early in their career (to the point they went on to call it "lies" and "slander" in this very interview, mind you) suddenly calling into question the authenticity of fellow artists? What fucking hypocritical bullshit. She sounds like a real prick. She'll need all the good luck she can get finding that "high-class group of musicians" to be a part of because with that elitist attitude I suspect she'll have a really difficult time. 
 
 
*Sigh. I miss the kitschy, unabashedly low-brow Lizzy Grant that said she wanted to kiss Antony of Antony and the Johnsons. YEAH I'M GOING THE TYPICAL "I MISS LIZZY" ROUTE, DEAL WITH IT
 
**Let's pretend Whitman is a contemporary poet so that my snarky point still sticks

SPIN did a fascinating run-down on every name in the credits, which was really helpful (especially as a new fan) to my understanding of the album and its creation. I wouldn't have seen the Daft Punk collaborations coming, just from listening to the songs they worked on. 
 
I'm really loving "Bound 2" right now. I mean, I literally laugh out loud when he's all "I wanna fuck you in the bathroom sink", but the way Charlie's vocals combine with the samples is just   .

oh goodness this has become one of those divisive interviews~   this thread is a mess.  I get what some of you are saying about overt patriotism~ But I just find it confusing for the girl that was waving around her American flags, has referenced America in at LEAST 10 songs (not counting American landmarks, specific cities, etc.), and said she "believes in the country America used to be" (still don't know what this means, maybe something to do with the American dream?), etc. has completely thrown Americana out of her lyrical inspirations and says she's not patriotic "anymore" .. 
 

 
If she had substantiated reasoning, that'd be one thing~but you guys saying she felt alienated or that she didn't have a fan base here is completely untrue. Look at her album sales, look at her sold out shows in LA + NY following the release of BTD.  Did you see how packed Amoeba records was?  I felt like this interview was a fuck you, America and fuck you American fans who have supported you since you came on the scene
 
I think it's important to not be unduly critical- she is human, we contradict ourselves and sometimes we paint ourselves in the way we want to look/seem to others, and not necessarily the way we are ~ however, I feel like some will just excuse anything she says. She's just like me! She's misunderstood! Faults are a part of being human and she's not perfect.  She is a public figure and once you put these things out there, you have to be held accountable.  Yes, it is mostly about the music but you can't deny that at least some of the reason why you are such a fan~ and why you've joined a forum revolving around her~ is because of Lana Del Rey the person. I'm just saying you can still be a fan and not even like her most of the time. (does that even make sense? idk, i have a lot of feelingz)  I still find her completely intriguing, even if she's not necessarily my cup of tea, and I think the conversation regarding her personality is interesting~ perhaps we should make a separate thread for that to discuss

Hey, so, i'm going to spend two years telling people that i'm more of a singles person and that my favorite songs are Hotel California and Wicked Game (which i will continually refer to as Wicked Games) and all the hits by the masters of every genre, like, uhm, Bob Dylan and Kurt Cobain and Eminem, and then lament the fact that i just can't meet anyone with such a deep passion and appreciation for music like my boyfriend and i have. You know, people who really live and breath music? Never mind, no one understands.  

THIS ENTIRE INTERVIEW IS THE EPITOME OF INSECURITY AND DEFENSIVENESS AND VICTIM-PLAYING.

My country's impact on this record He posted the full credits on his website btw.

I don't listen that much to remixes, i hate when they speed up her voice or shit like that. There are not a lot of Lana's songs that are remixable imo. But here's my two favorites:
 
Blue Jeans by Gesaffelstein: very dark (as always with him), love the beat

 
Summertime Sadness by Ryan Hemsworth: Ryan's very talented producer, he made SS really haunting

"I never met anyone who cared about music as deeply as me and my boyfriend, or who really cared about poetry—who really lived it and breathed it. I haven’t met anyone so far. I just can’t affiliate with those people."
 
This woman worked with Rick Rubin... Even if it was for six days... Her interviews are getting worse and that's what this one is screaming to me:
 

Canal+ website don't have the replay of the show so I did some google research but their show's name is so f*cking random... I've found interviews of the others artist but not of Lana FML. I'll try to look if someone recorded the whole thing on french torrents site. I guess she didn't say a lot of relevant things otherwise it'll still be online somewhere or we would have articles that talk about it. Anyway, my research ended on this "live" video of Kinda Outta Luck which is pretty cool lol :

i swear she has multiple personalities. wasn't it just her last interview where she stated she dropped out of fordham to pursue music??  
 
"Actually, I’ve never read anything written about me that was true." not dramatic at all
 
"I don’t give a fuck about what I look like." 
 
"Do you consider yourself patriotic?
Not anymore."
 
"But other than that, I don’t feel like, “Rah, rah, America!” Fuck that shit [laughing]" oh aren't you cool
 
get to fuck lana.. what a grating interview. she comes off like an uppity idiot with an attitude fitting an angst riddled teen.

It's truly amazing she's even able to sing or give an interview with that gigantic chip on her shoulder.

ikr i canceled mine, i paid 17€ and it wasn't going to be dispatched before the 21... my friends in the us got it for 9,99$ and already have the fucking cd in their hands... fml it's because of his no pre-order strategy

She didn't exactly said that, it was more an H&M initiative:
You're a face of clothing line for H&M that's stylized after David Lynch's Blue Velvet. Is it a type of aesthetic that works for you?
I was more put into it, it wasn't something that I would choose myself. But I love the song Blue Velvet.

You may find this interesting if you haven't read it yet, Rick talked about working on Yeezus with Kanye: http://blogs.wsj.com/speakeasy/2013/06/14/the-inside-story-of-kanye-wests-yeezus/
"Five songs still needed vocals and two or three of them still needed lyrics.  He said, “Don’t worry, I will score 40 points for you in the fourth quarter.” In the two hours before had to run out to catch the plane, he did exactly that:  finished all lyrics and performed them with gusto."
 
Your thoughts on his use of Strange Fruit ? I ain't gonna lie, Blood On The Leaves is my favorite song of the album, the mix between TNGHT's R U Ready and the sample is perf.

Reviving this thread
 
So yesterday the Xbox One was revealed with with a lot of boring stuff about watching TV on your Xbox, voice recognition via Kinect and a few bullshit cinematics trailer of some games. They also announced a TV show in the Halo universe directed by Spielberg (but with what he has done on Falling Skies, i'm not really excited lol) and a brand new franchise from Remedy (with also a TV show ) called Quantum Break.
Basically, Sony showed us games without the console and Microsoft the console without the games
 
My selection of memes because that's what conference are for
 
 
 
This resume well the actual situation

 
 
Thought about you when i saw this, they're doing a Ratchet & Clank movie and it could be good actually
