^ Listen to Diamanda Galas for a month, no questions asked! And I still remember being scared shitless when someone showed me her music a few years ago, but there's no way in HELL I'd let that disturbing little creature anywhere near my body. WYR: allow your bf / gf to sleep with someone you're really jealous of while you're watching OR french kiss this beauty for 2 hours straight?

Sorry if I sounded mad back there, it wasn't my intention. Nothing I said was aimed at you - just want to make that really clear. I'm originally from one of the affected countries and we're going through very tough times, it's a real mess over there... And sometimes it can very frustrating / irritating hearing EU politicians talk about the crisis with their condescending tone and their high & mighty opinions which are more often than not completely detached from reality. ... Aaaanyway, back to happy things AKA Lana.

^ had to google her Eurovision

I only have the Recover EP so I second this request for any singles / demos / other scattered songs. Yay! I really, really like his voice and accent. And thanks!

@ Ah, I see! Well yeah, that would make a lot more sense in New Jersey then!

Oh? I had no idea. What's the difference? Unless you mean palms of one's hands? (Not a native English speaker btw, so sorry in advance if this question is stupid...)

Updating my list since I'd forgotten: Iggy Azalea, CHVRCHES, King Krule, David Lynch, POND.

I wish Iain Cook sang main vocals in more songs. ZVVL is simply perfect, I adore his voice. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rslwmuL0moc

Everyone should listen to that utter masterpiece of an album that is Dark Night Of The Soul. Jules' song is also (unsurprisingly) my favourite. Everything that man touches turns to gold.

No, I did not skip anything. She was seriously talking about her hair and then immediately afterwards of slitting her wrists 'cause she was a little depressed. I will die laughing today.

@@Beauty King You convinced me, I'm doing it. Will report back later. I don't read fan fiction, by the way. I've only ever done so once - I've spent one entire night (literally from dusk till dawn) compulsively reading The Libertines fan fiction; those 2 were definitely asking for it though, so the line between fiction and reality is kinda blurred. I was simultaneously amused, horrified at how bad most of it was, and kind of embarrassed at myself for doing it. Still kinda am.

The capital of the EU is far too preoccupied with its own internal power struggles and privilege to know or even really care about how bad things fucking are in Southern / South-western Europe, or to think about its own responsibilities in the matter.

How embarrassing... Thanks!

Me too. I know lots of people find it annoying, but I think it's kinda cute / endearing.

Maybe I'm just having a slow day, but... what does that mean? And what does the "BHC" above Mandler's name stand for?

Joy Division - Decades

Be cut into pieces. WYR: have spiders and snakes walk all over your body OR miss the only opportunity you'll ever have to meet your absolute favourite artist?

Palm trees in New Jersey? I mean, I'm not American so I could be wrong, but it's not the type of thing I associate with the Northeastern coast... "The veranda looks ocean gold" could very well be something like this... ...which would make the "neon palms sway" line a bit more logical - view from the veranda, ocean sunset, neon lights being turned on at dusk, palm trees... Besides, that "the Jersey Shore was long ago" line kinda hints at the fact that they're no longer there? (edit: reading your "lost in drugs" theory, that's indeed a possible interpretation / explanation for being physically there but at the same time not really there... however, meth is not really a sadness or introspection inducing drug...) Who knows, though.

I second Gnecco & Carney. Preferably both at the same time. Those onstage dynamics sure would be interesting to watch... Seriously though, let's see: David Lynch - because why the hell not and I can see them creating pretty bizarre / twisted melodies & lyrics; oh, and the music video would quite simply slay. Iggy Azalea - I'd love a duet in some Off To The Races-like track and also they're both so fucking hot I want to see them get dirty onstage. Nicolas Jaar - because it's such an improbable combination, the results could be really interesting & beautiful.

Heavy Hitter vs Push Me Down

Someone's interpretation of BTD (mentioned in that OURS discussion board, where someone posted its original link). It's... interesting.

I hope not.

Well, that much at least adds up. From an OURS discussion board, written back in 08: "I am pretty sure his son's name is Jimmy too, no? Some chick randomly messaged me on myspace, some 16 year old girl who goes to school with his son, she said." "Jimmy's son is in fact named Jimmy. By the way, his son is 15 and his daughter, Zoe (pronounced Zoey), is 10 or 11." There's also an interesting topic there called "...that Lana Del Rey song"; currently reading it.

I think it's more the fact that she smokes at all than when she does it... She smoked quite a bit during the concert I went to, btw.

Damn, her legs look soooo fine in that video and in those pics.
