In Every Dream Home A Heartache   Roxy Music

The song inverts the "standing on the shoulders of giants" saying a bit, but it sort of means the same thing? Why the references to critics and negative-hypers in this song? The only possible interpretation I can get is the idea that she attributes her lineage as responsible for all the things that were proposed to have been constructed about her. 

This book is funny af; highly recommended
Apparently they are making a movie
If you have ever worked in retail, you'll relate
Would also make a good Christmas present for an Ikea fan cos it's based on an Ikea knock-off

Full transcription of her speech:
 
Hello. So happy to be here. Congratulations to everybody. Jack, you're such a big reason for why I'm friends with so many of the people I know in this room. I knew nobody when I started. That's why the first time I was ever nominated for any Grammy, I just didn't go. I didn't know how to do it. I really didn't. I didn't know a person. Then when I met Jack in 2018, he dragged me from the Clive Davis party, which is like one of the few things I actually love to do, to people watch, and he brought me to a diner and he was like, "if you just come to my home studio, I think we could write something really amazing." And I was not convinced. He is the most persistent, convincing person. I needed that. There are things, there are so many things I would not have done if he hadn't made me. After his wedding, he told me to stay at the Seaside Motel last year for five days because there was only one slot left on the Zoom session to submit to the Grammys. I at the time didn't even know that you personally had to submit. I thought that if your song was good, people just put it on a ballot, and if people voted for it the most, you won. So I waited for five days. I did a Zoom session with, you know, I started seeing like anonymous people enter the Zoom room with no names and thousands and thousands of them. We had taken an hour to practice a song that wasn't even the song that was being submitted because I didn't know how to do like, "Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff, Jimmy, Jimmy, ride," so I just did my favourite song. We ended up being nominated for, was it maybe five nominations last year? So, you know, I mean, there's so many things that I learn every year. I'm so happy for everybody who has won an award. I'm hearing words tonight like innocence, is the most important thing to hold on to. Truth prevails above all. Follow your heart. This is a way different climate than 15 years ago. I'm just, you know, I have so many thoughts in my head, and I'm hoping that everyone who is here tonight who received an award will just fly with the confidence that getting it has instilled in you, if it means anything to you. Because, you know, if you have momentum, keep it up. Don't ever let it stop. Jack is a big reason why part of my story and the perception of me turned around. If it did at all, it is in part because of the music that he helped bring out in me. I love to sing. I love to write. It kind of diminished a little bit over those 10 years before I met him. Most of all, I'm grateful for him, for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret. I saw the way he looked at her when he met her. He's a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband. I really feel like there's kind of a singer's curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race. It's super nerve-racking to have to kind of hold on to an innocent perception of how things could go when you're in an industry where maybe your values and your morals don't quite match up with what's going on, especially when people think that you probably don't have any morals or values. So it can get all twisted up. So, Jack, thank you so much for maybe helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I percieve myself. Freud would say that that's very important, considering 30% of how you feel about yourself is what you hear other people say about you. Regardless of whether you care or not, that's just true. So, other than my managers who really have turned my life around in the way that I still think making music is fun, you have so many friends. You've just really made it feel like Hollywood can be glamourous still, and you can still have a very rich home life even when you get rich. I was talking about me, not you! You'll be richer than all of us with your 50% on everything! Jack has more marble in his house, more herringbone-patterend wood floors, more shiplap, more farmhouse sinks, and car elevator lifts in Brooklyn than I could ever imagine he'd be interested in. Congratulations!

a fucking BOP
 

Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!
 
Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition. 
He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.
 
He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band. 
 
Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with. 
He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do) 
 
Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "
says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, 
Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing. 
 
 

My best friend wrote this to someone and it’s just….100% true so I’m sharing it.
 
“While I am reserved when voicing my opinions in
general, I am only saying this now because I have never been so pissed off in my entire life. The fact that Harris didn't even win the popular vote when Democrats typically do, even Hillary Clinton, even when Republicans win the electoral college, just confirms my fear of these brain-rot no-vote protestors following through during what was the most important election of our lives, far more important than 2020 because after losing Trump is going to be in a massive narc rage and out for revenge.
 
I hate to be the person to throw in a TV quote, but with this situation all I keep thinking of the Succession line "You bust in here, guns in hand, and now you've seen they've turned to fucking sausages." - All of that time playing knights and politicians online accomplished nothing but lining the pockets of billionaires by building engagement on their social media sites. All of that protesting and screeching "Free Palestine" only to sign Palestine's death warrant by handing Trump the presidency, because he will flatten that country just like he promised. He has no sense or interest in the politics of it. It has nothing to do with even Isreal to him. He will nuke them just to make liberal college kids cry, especially in his narc rage. We don't even have Pence, who at least had some political sensibility and duty, to hold him back. He's got a showman at his side, who is likely more dangerous than Trump.
 
Palestine is over. Ukraine is over. All of those decades of progress we made here are over. If they can strip reproductive rights just two years ago with an election on the horizon and face 0 consequences, they will take away everything else. They've got at least four years to work and fill seats. Gay rights, single party divorce, interracial marriage - all of it on the chopping block, and codifying things doesn't mean shit to these people. Rules mean nothing to them because they will find a way around it for no other reason other than because they can. There are no limits. With the ever-growing rhetoric, the gay community, especially trans people, is in so much fucking danger. We're all in so much danger. That's not even considering the fact they want to dismantle the education department on top of a bunch of other shit. 
And for what? Nothing more than an arrogant, short-sighted moral superiority circle jerk to feel rebellious and superior, when in fact they've just fucked not only themselves over, but the people they supposedly cared so much about, as well the rest of the country and quite possibly the rest of the world if Russia decides to sink it's teeth into Poland next and trigger a NATO reaction, and with Trump in power, we will be on Russia's side. Biden wasn't great and Harris wasn't ideal either, but to think that they are remotely on the same level as the alternative is absolutely and completely asinine. That magical unicorn of a candidate is not going to materialize out of thin air - we are not going to have third-party options without years of hard work and determination. That is not reality. That is not how the world works. You take what you can and make due and keep your eyes on the future. Believing you can just demand something into existence is delusional, and throwing a tantrum only helps Republicans.
So, no. I don't want to hear about coming together to fight fascism, because that chance already happened and people chose not to because they are too fucking arrogant and stupid to see anything beyond their surprisingly limited perspective. Fascism was knocking at our door, and they let them in. 
 
This isn't arguing to some account online - this is the real world with real consequences and real people who want to do damage. This juvenile sense of Le Revolution is never going to happen, especially from the people who are constantly screeching about it, because they do not have the stamina and foresight to make happen when they can't even get their shit together for ONE ELECTION without making it about themselves. 
 
It is done. It is over, and once again everyone else will have to work harder and faster to clean up selfish, stupid people's messes. Although I am pissed at Conservatives, my true anger is with the brain-rot protestors. Conservatives were always going to do what they were going to do. We knew that, and all we had to do was show and stop it. But apparently, that is too much for some people.  Ironically, the only thing they likely accomplished was ending the Israel/Palestine conflict by giving Trump the opportunity to disintegrate Palestine. 
 
And that's it. I have nothing more to say, and please do not send a reply. Empty words are useless, and I'm sure they will, of course, blame everyone but themselves even though they're the ones who didn't show up. They chose this, and now we all have to live with it. “
 
 
 
period

it's the same with some saying "to each their own", not knowing that Nazis used that phrase too (it's written on the main gate of a concentration camp)

this no voting movement is so crazy, it’s making me so mad at the internet, so they don’t wanna vote for Kamala bc she supports Israel or something but do they not fucking realize trump is Israel’s number one fan and bff???!!!!?!
a trump win literally harms so many people in so many ways, I think it really is important for even the farthest left leaning to pick the lesser of 2 evils when one is a sexual assaulting criminal etc etc. you have to vote for Kamala if you care at all even a little bit about women, queer people, minorities, the list could go on and on. 
keep in mind trump encouraged the genocide he stated “just flatten them” iirc
