I was browsing through HFA to see if any new song titles had been added, but I got sidetracked and I ended up on the page for Gramma, and it said it was used in the album 'Kill Kill EP', and next to it said 'Sugarbaby EP', which I've never heard of. I did a search and I found nothing, does anybody know anything about a 'Sugarbaby EP?'

I have a few..
The first song I ever heard of hers was Video Games, and I hated it. I told some of my friends how she was terrible and I got them all to dislike her too. Then I couldn't get VG out of my head, and I fell in love with it/her, and I got said friends to like her too. I absolutely hate the way she looks in the National Anthem video I have an entire album of Lana songs that I've titled as 'Crusty' because I think the songs are horrible, but I don't want to delete them because I want a large collection (currently at 234 songs!) I think I prefer Lizzy to Lana, but I still love Lana I think Lizzy looked horrible with short blonde hair Even though so many people seem to like her songs with Aaron LaCrate and Princess Superstar, I think they're horrible. (They're in that Crusty album I was talking about) This is about my favorite thing on this website and I don't know why . I need a poster of   for my room.

Well her first choice to call was "Dad"

Interscope confirmed Daddy will be first single   

This is why artists have to endure so much bullshit (because that's exactly what it is) when they share their projects with the public, because now it's all about success being defined by the number of views and monetary worth, along with the nitpicking and pointless comparisons of who-does-what-better, which leaves zero room for art to be appreciated for what it is.
 
Because she can, and she wanted to, so she did.
 
You mean, besides because she could, wanted to, and did? "Because fuck you, that's why."
 
"Summertime Sadness" is almost two-years-old, there's a contradiction here if we're going to talk about old songs being used for recent projects. So if "Young & Beautiful" and Cedric Gervais' remix of "Summertime Sadness" (keyword "remix" of a song that is, again, almost two-years-old, TWO-YEARS-OLD,) were to have been featured in Tropico instead, it would have validated Tropico's worth as a 30-minute film? It was a short-film, let's not over-exaggerate here like it was a grueling four-hour loop of the same songs over and over again.
 
On what basis are we comparing Tropico to that it can be fairly dictated that it wasn't good? Tropico wasn't meant to be a revolutionary short-film, it was simply a short-film telling the story of redemption with the intention of bringing the era of BTD to a close. Just because Tropico may have been a bit difficult to follow the first viewing, does not mean it wasn't good; just because Tropico was "awkwardly literal," doesn't mean it wasn't good (not to mention, it may have been "literal," but I want to know where it was "awkward.") And just because there wasn't enough dialogue between the cast, just because there was only one Lana-written monologue, doesn't mean that Tropico wasn't good. If anything, Lana's reading of an excerpt from Walt Whitman's "I Sing the Body Electric" solidified and clarified the meaning behind "Body Electric". I look at that song in a totally different light after Tropico.

And Allen Ginsberg's "Howl" was a well-placed reading, as it helped smoothly transition between the final moments of Eden and the dead-paradise-reality Lana found herself in during "Gods & Monsters". Did we not read these poems? Did we not read a single poem from the likes of those two men? I'm trying hard to not say that this is a matter of appreciating Tropico more if we weren't so absorbed in the elements of mainstream artists' work, but seriously, let's not write off an artists' work just because we may not have understood it fully.

The cinematography was beautiful all throughout Tropico, and if anything, the short-film shed light on the inner-workings behind Lana's work, we got insight to how and where she finds her muse, we had a-chance-a-minute for a half-hour to open our minds and go on a small little adventure with Lana; it was beautifully strange and strangely beautiful. And this is coming from someone who didn't entirely care for "Body Electric," "Gods & Monsters," and "Bel Air," and I still think that Tropico is being seriously underrated, whether it was meant to cater to the masses or not. For what Tropico is, it is very beautiful, and it's not being given a fair chance (which seems to be a reoccurring theme with the general public when it comes to Lana.)
 
Well, this answered my question when I asked on what basis we were comparing Tropico to, if not indirectly, since this seems to be a biased comparison between two artists who, aside from starting out in New York, have hardly anything in common as far as sound, personality, influences and delivery go. If you had not spent the half-hour thinking of all the "very Gaga/not-so-Gaga" comparisons you could've came up with instead of letting yourself be immersed in Tropico, maybe you would have seen both Lana and her short-film in a different light. Not to mention I hardly see any element of Tropico that is even closely similar to Gaga's projects, so...is this because you're bored and had a quota to reach?

But never mind that, it's quite pitiful that comparisons like this are pretty much what structures art today. So much effort is invested into finding likeness in art that we forget to appreciate art as it is; a multi-dimensional form of expression that does not need to be compared to the likeness of another artist's expression to dictate its worth. Had you been around when Picasso was, all his art would've been Tropico to you just because it wasn't Da Vinci or Michelangelo.

You didn't care for Tropico not because it "wasn't good" or because it was "bloated and awkwardly literal."

You didn't care for Tropico not because the songs were "old" and "less-than-stellar."

You didn't care for Tropico not because it was a poor-shot at "being Gaga."

You didn't care for Tropico because you misunderstood Lana, but most especially, because you misunderstood art.

Besides that, comparing female artists to the likes of Gaga is very 2010, so "for 2014," you might want to find another artist to set your unreasonably supported expectations for other artists to or just stop with the comparisons altogether since it's as old as it is unfair, and hardly what art is about.

And with that, I call this whole listing a flop.
