GirlAfraid

Ha! Jokes on her, Lana is a fan of Chris Isaak

All I have to say about the end of the interview:

The German and European critics/journalists are generally more positive and open-minded of Lana and her music, though. The US media in contrast is less forgiving as we all know by now, at least when it comes to Lana.

It’s not really surprising though, especially where Lana is concerned. Journalists (and I’m using the word very lightly here ) are always going to try to bait and hook their subject, especially if they can come up with a juicy headline . Add to the fact that RS is interviewing her. I feel like the only reason they put her on the cover is so they can boost their sales, not because they actually enjoy her music (even if they begrudgingly accepted Ultraviolence).

The pictures look divine I haven’t read the interview yet, but I know it’s going to be a mess! Anyway, can’t wait to buy this edition, I don’t think I’ve bought RS since 1998 (I feel so old)!

I still haven't fully absorbed the new album yet. I won't be ready for anything new for at least a year, 'cause I'm slow like that. Y'all are an impatient bunch.

I feel the same way ‘Dope fiends’ ties in much better for the overall theme of the lyrics. And at times I hear ‘Snow in my mouth’ (which is also slang for cocaine & users sometimes ingest it or simply rub it on their gums/teeth). Anyway this song, while not my favorite off the album, is pure sex P.S. Rock Genius added ‘Zoomin’ my miles in gold hoops’.

I wanna like every post in this thread Flaw free all the way

For real though. This guy couldn’t even be bothered to muster up some enthusiasm. It’s almost as if this program fell into his lap at the last minute, didn’t have a choice in the matter and didn’t even know who the hell Lana was. And I can’t even be bothered to browse through comments made by bitter pseudo-intellectuals who think that they’re so damn clever and worldly (but then again this is NPR and their listeners are notorious for spewing venom at anything veering towards the mainstream).

I agree, this should have been at least 20-30 minutes long. What a wasted opportunity—but I guess Lana’s schedule is just too tight right now to extend herself for an in-depth interview? They have such a natural rapport that it’s always a joy to listen to how laid back and open Lana is with her, even if it’s just for a few minutes. Btw, does anyone else find Fearne’s energy and voice to be grating? Overall, I suppose it is better than nothing.

This is her moment to shine, no one can ever take this away from her. She’s come so far and waited so long for this kind of recognition (from the critics as well as the general public), and now that it’s finally here I hope she’s truly enjoying all the blessings and positive aspects that have come with Ultraviolence.

I love this thread. Makes me nostalgic for when I first started listening to her and would mishear 60% of the lyrics. Body Electric is the first one that comes to mind. Grand Ole Opry: Grand auto spree Whitman is my daddy, Monaco’s my mother:Clinton is my daddy, Monica’s my mother My clothes still smell like you: My coasters/posters still smell like you All the photographs say, that we’re still young: All the phonographs, say we’re still young Mary’s swayin’ softly: Mary’s sweatin’ softly

With each interview that she gives the less I seem to understand where she's coming from or what message she wants to convey. She's the most mercurial artist I've come across in a long time, which is not necessarily a bad thing (the complexity of her emotions and views), just highly disorienting. Every time I think I pin down a part of her personality or belief system she switches it up so fast I'm left spinning. I think the one thing I know for sure about Lana is that she defies a concrete definition and does not submit to pedestrian conventions. My sentiments exactly !

Ignore me, my imagination gets the better of me sometimes. lel

I can picture him hitting the liquor pretty hard at the end of the day. Just pure conjecture on my part

Glad to be part of the team I was starting to feel crazy for liking the demo more lol

^ True. But I'm sure that's just one of the factors. Substance abuse might be the part that Lana is referring to when she says he needs to clear his head and he a handle on things. I don't know much about Barrie but it wouldn't be all that shocking if he enters into rehab.

'Headshot if you're able' Sounds like she's fed up with his moodiness!

I don't know if this a Lana confession or an unpopular opinion, but I prefer BB as a demo 1000x more than the album version.

There are so many... But for now I'll just add that I see nothing wrong with the studio version of Body Electric or the Paradise version of Yayo.

In my mind ITH is a far more superior track than Flipside. Everything from the melody to the lyrics has a haunting and bittersweet atmosphere. It conjures up so many emotions and moved me from the start much more than Flipside .
