it was literally a year ago from like tomorrow, but this kid was PRACTICALLY claiming to be better than everyone here, and spent his life tracking people down and got his hands on the QN/FTE tracks, and it was just bizarre, lol

lock the thread now 

omfg the italian kid 

I mean, there hasn't been that much of chaos in here... not like Young Like Me / From the End last year.   That poor Italian kid..

Wake Up Alone is probably my favorite song of all time.   Mind you, I'm talking about the version on Lioness.

Yet again another one who thinks they can speak for everyone...

Reevaluate your priorities, please!

twigs is someone who grew up with a lot of quiet, surrounded by valleys, cows, and sheep in Gloucestershire, a largely rural county in southwest England. A serene style that pairs the xx’s unflinching intimacy with a menacing undertow reminiscent of Massive Attack’s Mezzanine. On her unassuming 2012 debut EP, she used negative space in a powerful way, her high-pitched whisper drifting in and out to narrate eerily charged scenes. A forthcoming four-track follow-up, dubbed EP 2 and out on September 9 via XL/Young Turks, finds her even more gloriously weightless.

She's kinda like Grimes, but I like her more than Grimes so idk.
Discuss her flawless music here and I hope to find more fans 
 
 
 
 

Where receipts were never provided either!
 

imagine an amy cover tho~~ i'd be very interested to hear a lanafied version of Take The Box.

Addiction is a terrible disease that is so difficult for addicts to treat. It's hard to blame people... but I see where you're coming from. It's scary to think that those who were close to her saw the inevitable destruction that we all saw and didn't "save her" or "help her." (Who knows what they did do, though. None of us were there in her close intimate circle. Her dad does really seem like a terrible enabler though. I haven't read "My Daughter Amy" because something just doesn't sit right with me on Mitch.) 

I miss Amy every day. I listen to her records and think about the brilliance that was left in her. She really saved my life.

Nancy Sinatra's is my preference. Especially the Kill Bill remaster... ugh! Perfetto..

Wake Up Alone is my favourite Amy song and one of my favourite songs ever, I feel lyrically it really matches the stuff on Sirens it could be a Lana song

I think I legitimately made this reaction irl

OMG I'M DEAD THIS IS FLAWLESS

I feel like 50% of the fanbase loves Florida Kilos while the other 50% hates it..
 
Which is ridiculous because everyone should love it. It's amazing.

Did Pawn Shop Blues just get eliminated?

I got called an idiot, no one rose to my defense then - not that I care, truthfully, cuz it didn't bother me. It's typical forum-back & forth. I think MIAM can withstand a swipe at who he listens to. I didn't call him any names.
 
And if we're not allowed to go back and forth here about Lana Del Rey then really what's the purpose of this place? It's not about MIAM not liking Ultraviolence or rock music - it's about him making comments that I disagreed with, his delivery was sour, etc, and I took his argument apart. If you didn't find it pleasant to read then I'm sorry.

Not denying that. But honestly, the biggest reason why the album didn't do well is because nothing was selling it. Not even the singles. And the same happened in the US too. Didn't do that hot either. All this nonsense about hairdos and people buying albums when they "feel good" about an artist is bullshit, and if she "flopped" commercially (stupid word), it's not like she's a lost cause. Born To Die/Paradise did well because they had very good, unique pop songs selling them, with very well-done (VIRAL) music videos accompanying those songs. Ultraviolence had West Coast and Shades of Cool - I love those songs but Blue Jeans and Summertime Sadness they are not. And the videos were very stripped down. I won't even get into the fiasco that was the Ultraviolence video and single.
 
Plain and simple. Music sells when all the right ingredients are in place, and there was plenty of money making sure that was going to happen when she released BTD. It capitalized on the catchy-nature of that album. Ultraviolence was not an album of singles, we all know this.
 
All in all though, I don't really give a fuck if people in the UK don't like  her anymore so oh well. I only lament the lack of good visuals in the Ultraviolence era - everything else was really satisfying for me. Me I'm Mariah seems to feel like it's about what other people are thinking, I just don't really understand or relate to that.

Wait so if Lana had a beehive hairdo and a technicolor album color scheme, the critics would have skewered her? That's your formula? That's what you really believe? And you think that the Guardian scandal was only potent enough to get her bad reviews in the UK? Child boo, that controversy was all over US pop culture too, enough so that it even got her TV coverage. You really think that in 2014, pop scandals are limited to one country at a time? lmfao. Just don't.
 
Nevermind though, let's look at the facts: NME may have given her a tepid review, but they put her on their year-end best list at #25. Seems that was short lived. The Guardian, who Lana threw under the bus, gave her a glowing review. Spin put her at #5 for the year. Digital Spy, at 14. Mojo at #40. All UK publications.
 
Clearly the controversy did little to truly damage her UK brand if their if their most prestigious magazines still managed to highlight her acheivments at the end of the year, even if a handful of them gave the album so-so feedback in the interim.
 
You can't have your ridiciulous theory both ways. While it's not always about the music, especially with Lana given she's a character and an enigma, she's also not Mariah, or Gaga, or Britney, which is why we read over and over that she's the only pop artist without rival in this business. You speak of her as if she's a sports team that you wanna see win the championship so that you can brag about her to other fanbases. You're gonna be disappointed, CONSISTENTLY, doing that with Lana Del Rey. Have a seat.
