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!

New band I recently discovered & have been obsessing about lately.

"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!

Aaand they've been opening for Father John Misty - whom I adore. They also played at Lolla yesterday.

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

I miss bitchy-classy-gangsta-lolita Lana. So. Much.
And the music she used to do.

I am speechless.

I love Lana !
What I'm talking about are my first impressions ! Now I like her funny side, when she pulled up her dress, that stuff.
I love watching her, I found her beautiful not long after starting to get really into her music and she's truly charismatic.
For the Lolita references & the trailer park story I'm not hating her for that, it's just something I don't like thinking about because I'm not "proud" as a fan of that. I'm not a blind follower, that's it.
 
Musically, I think Lana Del Rey is the artist I've been waiting for, and gooosh I love her voice. 

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

smh @ her sucking up to america after bashing it in interviews

I honestly prefer having to endure a few fashion blunders (like this dress, which I personally hate) than see her lose her personal style and look like everyone else.

No worries, Barrie.
