Hmm, I see. I thought about SS & thought maybe it was related to the date he died, but it didn't make sense since he apparently died in February (right? American date format does my head in ) so the other obvious answer was BTD, but that would be so fucking morbid... OMG seriously?! I am / will be so fucked, then.

Just out of curiosity, what was the song? Please tell me it wasn't 'Born To Die'...

You Can Be The Boss vs Motel 6

YASSS this unforgettable moment! I hated Johnny tbh. And I totally agree.

Pink Floyd - Julia Dream :flutter:

Because why the hell not. Also, 10 year anniversary today OMG. Talk about whatever you want --- fave scenes / characters / songs / pairings / etc., or how enraged you still are that they killed Marissa (!!!), or how creepy & annoying Oliver was... whatever, really. Epic & flawless scene right here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVShNDDOmfk I just miss this show sooo much.

I moved to a different country a couple of years ago so most of my books are back home. I only have a select few here, I'll try to post a pic tomorrow. It's a mix of some faves I brought with me + new ones I bought here, and it's mostly fiction, some work-related ones, a couple on architecture & painting, and artist bios (I have an embarrassing & borderline creepy amount of books on Pink Floyd & Syd Barrett ).

They're all so tacky... and this one isn't even the worst one but it really made me cringe. Like, wtf?! Idgi. I've often considered getting a music related tattoo (never about Lana though ) & even had a pretty precise idea once, but I'm kind of a commitment-phobe when it comes to most things permanent so every time I seriously considered having it done I always hesitated A LOT -- which is in itself a pretty good sign that I shouldn't get a tattoo, I guess -- and never actually got one. The ironic part is, I'm pretty damn sure I wouldn't regret the tattoo's actual content in the future but I'm also pretty sure I'd grow tired of how it looked eventually. Long story short, I guess tattoos are not for me.

When I absolutely want to watch a concert up front, I get there early. How early depends on how important the band / artist are to me (twice in my life I waited for 8+ hours because it really meant A LOT to me to watch the show as close as possible to the stage). It's irritating as all hell when people arrive much later and try to push their way to the front / take your place (sometimes just as the concert is about to begin) - and I don't think being annoyed at that is an exclusively American thing, I think it's pretty much universal. To me it's basic concert etiquette, tbh. Yes, I can be a real bitch sometimes.

The original price was around 150 - 180 francs. Those tickets sold out in a matter of hours though, imo because the festival organization underestimated how many fans she has here and put her in a secondary small & intimate venue ('Jazz Café') rather than in one of main ones. So the second (and very limited) batch of tickets was even more expensive. Lots of people paid even more for black market tickets (around 500 CHF) they weren't even sure were legit. It was a mess. It was worth it because the concert was really intimate & special, much better than the one in a big arena in Geneva this year.

Did she have VIP packages in Europe, btw? If so, how much were them? Fun fact: I paid CHF250 (around USD270) to see her live here in Switzerland in 2012; it was a regular ticket, of course. So I'd definitely go for the American VIP package if it cost around 300 - 400 dollars.

You can still find it on eBay. If it's not your size or whatever, just save the search 'h&m lana' and they'll notify you via email whenever there's new items.

Andrew VW & John Pelant even look a fair bit alike imo...

Austra - Painful Like

:defeated:

What I gather from this is - you think Lolita's story & moral conclusion are far too dark and disturbing for someone to mention the book lightly & 'play with it' unless they didn't get it. I personally think you'd be surprised, but ~opinions. And OMG the French stereotype thing was just a joke; it exists & I made fun of it because ~obviously. Don't kill me, people.

That's a pretty bold statement, since (as far as I'm aware) she never discussed her views on Lolita, the book. We all know she has quite a few daddy issues, loves power & age play in relationships & is fascinated with the whole lolita aesthetic, so she probably just cherry picked the elements that fit those themes the best. That doesn't necessarily mean her understanding of the book doesn't go any deeper than that though. LMAO! So some stereotypes really do apply after all?! I mean, only the French would feel offended because a foreigner doesn't speak their language!

It does, doesn't it? I thought the exact same thing! Although it reminds me more of Congratulations than Oracular Spectacular.

No worries, Barrie.

New band I recently discovered & have been obsessing about lately. http://nightmovesmpls.com/ "Formed in 2009 by guitarist and vocalist John Pelant, bassist Micky Alfano and multi-instrumentalist Mark Ritsema, Night Moves is a distinctly original concoction. Their honey-dipped sound seethes with a kind of down-home tenderness — and like the best glittering music — the arrangements are colossal in shape. Night Moves’ powerful debut Colored Emotions is this Minneapolis group’s first album." Their music is a mix of synth + psych pop; they remind me a little bit of MGMT. 2 songs from their first album 'Colored Emotions': This song is gorgeous and the vid is just perfect - visually stunning & sooo sexy. I love it! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w720DSM8b1c http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYQWnMac-40 Aaand they've been opening for Father John Misty - whom I adore. They also played at Lolla yesterday.

They can do that if they're big enough (as in, from a B cup upwards) & not fake. Tits are mostly fat, so... That seems like a, uh... odd thing to do in a random photo though.
