  1. a person can be very , very kind and warm and outgoing around people even, but inside be just dying.. and want to be dead.

    same can go the other way to, people whom look deeply depressed, aren't always so..

     

    side note- maybe Lana could plan the next tour to start on Kepler **** the new planet like earth possibly, that they found today..

    I'll go with her.. gather up and get the fuck outta here.. :D

     

    That's what I'm saying. "I will never understand how she manages to always APPEAR with a smile". "She SEEMS happy". "She SEEMS very kind". It's something that I haven't seen in other public figures.

     

    It was an implicit compliment for her professionalism.

    Whether Lana really is happy or not, only she and her loved ones know.

     

    You guys should improve your reading comprehension skills :P


  2. what the fuck is this hair doing

     

    reminds me of those little brown dogs. i don't know the different breed names, but that's sort of besides the point here

    Yorkshire Terrier? I don't know much about dogs, but that's the first thing that came to mind with "little brown dogs."


  3. Lana's "lack of inspiration" gave us her best album to date-- it even includes her best song ever.. With an incredible production by Dan Auerbach, Blake Stranathan, Greg Kurtsin, Daniel Heath, Lee Foster and Lana herself, Ultraviolence feels chaotic, warm, dark and extremely melancholic. 90/100.

     

    Are you talking about West Coast?


  4. Blue Jeans didn't had too much going on, but it was atmospheric and still somehow told us a story.

    I don't hate this new video, but you can just see that there was 0 effort put into it and the scenes y'sll are trying to interpret seem very random to me. There is not really any passion behind it, that's what's bothering me. And however she will explain and make excuses for this in interwievs, the video will stay boring. Not because it was filmed on a phone or because it has no plot but because it was filmed without any motivation.

     

    You said exactly what I was thinking.

     

    Running out of ideas is no excuse for this. Yoann Lemoine had the ability to turn a cliche idea into a masterpiece with Blue Jeans. He has such an eye for detail.

    Summertime Sadness, the song, for example, wasn't that great to me, but the video made it more powerful.

     

    To mention other artists, look at what Romain Gavras did with just "human beings in a mob" (please watch No Church In The Wild).

    You don't need an outlandish concept, just someone who can execute it properly.


  5. New age philosophy is for people who want to feel spiritual through changing superficial aspects of their lives or acquiring "hidden" knowledge, while losing contact with reality. I'm not a skeptic of the supernatural, just a person who is very aware of how damaging these cults can be. Reading esoteric books and such on your own is good but being surrounded with like-minded people is dangerous.


  6. I don't know if it's the production, the instrumentation, Lana's singing style or whatever but Paradise is not good to me. I'm not sure what kind of sound they were trying to achieve but, in my opinion, it wouldn't have changed anything if she didn't release it. The only songs I genuinely enjoy are Cola and Bel Air (Body Electric, too, but only the live version). And I hate the cover, her face is overly photoshopped and looks deformed.


  7. Two questions: I don't know where else to post this, but has anyone else tried the "invisible counselors technique"? Lana said Tropico was partly inspired by Charles Haanel's experimentations with imagination but I was confused since Napoleon Hill (whose work she has read) also talks about using your imagination to receive guidance from historical figures. So, was it a mistake on her part or did they both talk about this technique?
