you're right, it could be a back to black reference. That's really interesting -
then, i hope he really thought thoroughly about it. i doubt that so if it's going to be beneficial or harmful it will be like rolling a dice

the jfk files have been scheduled for decades now http://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-41708854 is he announcing it like it was his idea and he's doing it on his own volition?? he might be disappointed by his job but he's really thriving on being the center of attention

the production is really bad guys ... there's no other way of putting it. the songs and their melodies deserved better -

the production on IMF and coachella is tragic, truly the low point on such a beautiful record and i'm not dissing the trap beats, which i liked in hm. i think they were just done wrong and needed more work on them. They could have gone on a more organic lane perhaps and used actual instruments: mika's relax take it easy was all instruments and it still sounds awesome, i also like 80s synths and i'm not against electronic vibes. -
i'm familiar with men, i know a lot of them same, i was going to post some shade at playboy and i have no interest in them, but it's nice to know trans women are starting to become more prominent in mainstream culture and this is perhaps one of the first steps for that to happen. But I can understand someone with more of a radical ideology who believes playboy shouldn't nowhere to be near this kind of inclusive movement and that perhaps these people's motives are tainted, people fetishize black people too, and still to this day, because there's a "default" in their mind and that's white, cis, and skinny or what not ... I don't regard this as a beacon of transgender rights but is it going to help trans women access more of these tricky jobs if they want that? (calendars, magazines de charme, i don't know about it but there must be a fetish industry??) maybe. i think that something is happening and that's nice to know

i'm waiting aimlessly for a movie where the woman is being cheated on her lowlife man so she's listening to cruel world while she's drinking and crying with smudged mascara as she tries to slip a short red dress and decides from now on she's going out and start to have fun, sleep with her bf's best friends and mistresses so that way she robs the fucker of everything and he finds himself with no-one to turn to you can write a dark chick flick with lana's lyrics, i'd actually want to see stuff like this. i've thought about this a lot

i voted for paradise: it was a beautiful ep: short and sweet, we had a short film, the epic ride mv, the last significant tv appearances, a world tour, lana's face plastered everywhere around the world for the H&M campaign -as she deserves - (plus imagine having the people who hated her seeing her on every damned bus station ) , lana starting doing movie soundtracks, the major leaks, the looks, the photoshoots, lana officially closing the BTD era that would end with her album charting indefinitely on BB200 ... it's difficult to separate the material and content from lana's personal life so maybe this was the worst time for her in term of fame and personal life, i feel a lot for her anyway i'm blessed because all eras are amazing and i loved this one too

I really love the cover of her album, i actually adore all of them, i think it's genuinely iconic and lush with the pretty white knit dress and blue truck. All of her covers manage to be evocative for her songs and it's not always the case with artists to really associate the song with a picture. (haem this is weird, except for summer bummer and imf: I think those songs should have a different picture when I play them on my phone, if you understand what i mean). I still don't get why people give Chuck's photos a bad rep. -
Primo, I said it was exactly that already, under the spoiler, it's very wishful thinking and it's solely and selfishly for myself so i can still enjoy Cola while I can. Secundo, I also brought up the Y&B oscar sabotage somewhere up here because at first I thought Weinstein was behind it but I thought I couldn't just say stuff like that, accusing someone to sabotage a singer's eventual win because she wouldn't give him some, eve if this is just a discussion forum. Why is it classic Harvey though? Genuinely, bc I don't know this guy. I definitely think that if she got sabotaged at the oscars it means she wasn't under W's radar anymore, that she already severed her ties with him no matter if he's behind it or not. At least she'd be sabotaged for a good reason.

absolutely all of this, she's been releasing so much music in short periods of time I admire her so much for that, and frankly the music is what i mostly care about also except for tv appearances she hasn't done a concert in italy since 2013 when she was still promoting BTD apparently, so she probably prioritized countries where she has a significant fanbase and were also long overdue. she probably designed the world tour based on her abilities and capabilities atm, we don't know what her plans are i guess i just have accepted that she functions and works differently than most artists, while i would like for her to take something of their books (while i'm not into beyoncé i admire her commitment to working hard and showing it to her fans & stuff like that) i'm content. I'd rather not have Lana release an album every three years with impeccable promo/tv every night/world tour (but i'd take a movie/docu though if it was on the table) like many big pop artists out there. the only complaint i'd have is her inconsistency with visuals, which are not as important as the music in itself, but are a huge addition to it. HBTB was a nice mv as LFL but both were too simple to be lead and title track of their respective eras. I don't mind the simplicity but I see lead/track titles as a "main course" and maybe that's what gives the feeling of underwhelm? I guess she doesn't have the "bitch, i'm back" attitude like some artists (madonna, britney) but again she's not gone long enough thus she probably doesn't realise that some of the more casual listeners expect something more impactful that would make sense for them. also yes, being on lanaboards and even waiting for merch/tour dates becomes excruciating while months ago i wouldn't have cared about that at all but i'm not used to be involved at this level

I can't read page n4 so sorry if i'm repeating something when i heard about weinstein this week my first thoughts were "thank god lana isn't in the film industry" because this man clearly didn't stop and went even for the biggest stars in hollywood, since he's that much privileged and above the law. Then with this topic i thought too at first the lyrics were "ah he was in the sky" but that's not convincing. Maybe the lyrics are about a harvey, boh. I'm probably wrong and you can @me for not minding my business but for the sake of (saving and) still enjoying Cola I'm going to pretend Harvey tried to hit on lana and she brushed him off and wrote this song in a tongue in cheek manner about what could have happened to her character. Because now I feel so tainted by what I'm reading about him, I can't imagine him not trying to pick her up (lana is so beautiful and talented) and I'm going to tell myself lana wasn't interested or that nothing bad personally happened to her also conspiracy theory time http://time.com/11728/lana-del-rey-young-and-beautiful-oscar-snub/ https://www.theguardian.com/music/2013/dec/19/lana-del-rey-oscars-sabotage https://mic.com/articles/108526/lana-del-rey-had-the-best-film-song-of-the-year-but-you-won-t-see-her-at-the-oscars#.bcmcSVbRo Anyway someone tried to sabotage lana's Y&B, and if she were a Harvey's pupil/protegé I don't think that would have happened to her but I'm probably overestimating him
-
I feel very weird about this because Lana of course can do whatever she wants in her life and I don't want to preach @@her, especially since it's just now that i've heard about weinstein's doings but i know she has a knack for getting herself into dangerous situations, especially with men. So imagining her and harvey makes my blood freeze, even tho it shouldn't be my business. He was clearly a huge admirer of her in 2012, I can only hope he kept his lecherousness for himself. At least we know she went off making an album with a much different sound (so we know she wasn't trying to surf on the craze around btd/pe/ss remix vibes) and didn't consider going for a career in acting or movies. So maybe that suggests she took some distance from all that? I don't want this to have happened, who knows....
