Chris Cuomo

It's 2017 and we don't have the 2 Elvis covers recorded for Born To Die. Let me cut.

BAR/ Architecture isn't confirmed yet

I've kinda come to the conclusion that from this point onwards her music will never be as good as it once was, like there may be a few songs here and there that are stellar but her peak came and went long ago, if for no other reason than her voice is only weakening with age (and lack of training, proper technique, smoking). Her widening vibrato (which I first noticed around the time of Big Eyes) is a clear indication of the lack of vocal control older singers get, and she was never particularly gifted vocally to begin with.
 
Basically I really wish she got proper vocal training from the start, she is a good singer but she's still such an amateur in so many respects

any religion can be twisted into being totally toxic
i do think there is a specific reason as to why ""jihadism" is a thing.. its not solely due to their religion lol ..anyone who understands the intricate nature of societies and such can realize that numerous socioeconomic, political, and psychological factors play into this stuff.
 
anyway are you complaining that the majority of muslims have a peaceful mindset/interpretation of their faith? 
 
honestly christians could so easily have a violent interpretation of their faith too.. i grew up in church there are so many instances of God okaying horrible things, saying that we ought to stone people, killing entire cities, condemning whole groups of people to death.. but due to many socioeconomic, political, and psychological factors.. the barbaric nature of the christian faith has been phased out.. 
 
that being said, looking at thousand year old history in my opinion is sort of pointless.. i think its more important to realize what is going on now in based on the world as it is, in context to what has happened in the past. 
 
but obviously religions are fucking designed to spread and entrap people and cause them to take their religious ideology to the extreme! 
christianity has taken literal extremes to a more philosophical meaning, as its been refined heavily by western philosophy and scholars over such long periods of time.. the islamic faith has also been taken toward a much more philosophical trend too, especially in the west. 
 
christianity is now used to convince and ensnare people into its beliefs and moral standards,. its designed to keep people in it by forcing them to choose between a life of devotion to god, or going to hell for all eternity. its designed to be spread, as so much of the faith is based on spreading the gospel..  its reasonably acceptable and in contemporary interpretation and practice doesn't require anything too wild(even though if you were to take it more literally opposed to philosophically it easily would be more extreme).. this wasnt always the case tho
 
anyway obviously u just want so badly to hate islamic extremism..okay yeah their doctrines are flawed and are inspiration for their deeds, but don't you think that more than just that doctrine play into this?
honestly its silly if you believe that only that ancient text/religion is responsible.. there are so many other factors at play.. but honestly, despite what any doctrine says, people will do what they please.. whether it is evil or considered good. 
even christianity acknowledges this, as it says that we are all sinners and we continue to sin
despite what the bible says about sin.. people still make their own choices. 
there are also lots of verses that people could follow yet choose not to. 
any person can choose to, or not to act on a certain doctrine. 
 
its not about guilt fixation and votes its about being reasonable according to facts as they are today lol 
any reasonable person should be able to realize that, yes islamic texts can be used to sanction killing..(despite other parts of the text that may rule contrary, and despite the contemporary interpretations of islam).. but most, as a matter of fact the larger majority are pretty surprisingly pedestrian people.. lol

byeee i hate collabs honestly

Ugh Dua level flakiness with this era
 
This album has gone through so many changes, and during its own album cycle, which is kind of disheartening since Lana just doesn't seem like the kind of artist who would announce something if she wasn't 100% certain in it being done, and up to her standards, and since some store's already had May 26th as their shipping date I must assume this was very last minute.
 
Hopefully she's deciding to go LESS pop but usually these kinds of things mean the opposite...

I will be in denial for the rest of my days and nobody can change that. My grandchildren will ask me "Grammie, where were you when Lana Del Rey's iconic album Lust For Life was released, in the summer of 2017?" and I will laugh lightly, chiding them, "Oh, my children, that album came out May 26th of that year. In the Spring, like she said. Silly dears." Then I'll just get up slowly and start smashing everything in sight. And they'll just shake their heads and realize that this is why they were warned never to ask grammie about Lana Del Rey.

Lust For Life on May 26th?

It's literally fine.

It's literally fine.

I was at the concert last night guys, worst thing I've ever experienced! Glad to be home now. 

congrats on being this site's first terrorist sympathizer @electra
