no thanks. her career trajectory does not point to that. 

I can't wait to see the video! I'm on the East Coast so I'll have to wait until it is on VEVO   

all the Charlotteans in LB! I'm soooo there 

Videos

don't say I never did nothing for ya, kids       

Will post videos when I have some more free time. Took a vacation to Atlanta and now I'm playing catch-up this week T_T

Pictures:

LANA WAS SO AMAZING! I'm so glad I got to see her again. I can share my pictures for sure. I have some videos of the show too but I am unashamingly singing along to it. If anyone is intersted in them? They're not really stable videos with a bunch of shaky cam in them. The best song she sang was Ultraviolence. Her emoting in her singing was spellbinding. 

Summertime Sadness!

The trademark question threw me off, since I don't really do any of those things. . . .

It was Ahmed all along

not a fan of the new single, Mother & Father. Only listened to it once though

BTD is glossy where in UV is gritty. I think Lana did a better job with occupying the narrative of the Other Woman in UV (mistress, rock star girlfriend, gold-digger, jilted lover). The songs stand out more to me in BTD but the album of UV is a unified story. The lyrics on UV are more up-front and visceral, BTD's lyricism require a bit more imagination to enjoy.

BTD is genre-bending Trip-hop beats & samples, orchestral strings, vintage vocals, an intentional contralto. And in a lot of ways, UV is not new, The instrumentation is a throwback to classic rock n roll. Even has a cover. So the album feels familar even though it's a newer album.

I'm really suprised Lana went [back] to this sound in UV. Like the Get Drunk sessions but with a bigger budget. BTD was a ambitious debut, and Ultraviolence seems like it should be the debut LP of a singer with BTD as the follow-up. Like the way releases progress as indie-engenue's become more popular points to Marina & Ellie.

The visuals in BTD are stronger so far. Shades of Cool is an amazing video, but it doesn't stand a candle to BTD(song) or BJ (either versions). West Coast is cute, I love the shots of Lana falling asleep as Karl Lagerfeld drives the car.

flipside

may he RIP. He had a prolific body of work and a love for music that was evident to anyone whose heard his records.

goddess of love. this interview was amazing as a read it to the music of the West Coast remix by Grades

the serpent shirt is hott

this show was amazing! the crowd was insane. I saw a girl pass out and this guy get pulled out of the concert for being too rowdy. I got into an argument with high school girls. Lana's beauty took my breathe away for a moment when I finally got a good view of her during the concert. I wasn't a fan of the arrangement for Young and Beautiful, but all the other concert arrangements of the songs worked for me. I saw Lana's dad taking pics off the crowd during National Anthem from the side of the stage. Lana says that the video for West Coast will be out "soon"

the way the layered vocals switch between melody and harmony. It's very interesting.

OMG, the Trash Magic harmonies live again. yas LANA!

the meltdowns in this thread already  

looks interesting. the snakes are very menacing!

We all have to band together and find the best way to meet Lana, haha.

you think props would help? crown of flowers or be-flowered sunglasses, because I have made those.. .

I'm very interested in her description of the album as "wrong"

 

If she's not doing stripped, then weird is the next best thing

im thinking we're going to get some of her cacophanous harmonies on the album like on the Carmen demo

this past episode was the best of the season! the cinematography and use of lighting was the best. 

Hai gaiz! but im glad we get another soundtrack song
