    A reference to a quote from the 1944 film "To Have and Have Not" (from IMDB)
     
    At the funeral for her husband, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall put a whistle in his coffin.... She says "You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow.".

    Yes, actually it does. 

    None of these statements follow logically. It doesn't follow that because something is wrong it should not be depicted in art. That's absurd on its face. It also doesn't follow that someone's intention in doing something (or even their responsibility for doing something) can be ascertained by another's reaction to it. That's taking the whole "perception is reality" thing to absurd lengths. 
    As others sarcastically suggested:

     
    There's plenty of things in what little footage we've seen that suggest it might be problematic, but we just can't know for sure without more context. We don't have enough information yet.

    "I wish I was dead" = Lana glamorizing celebrity death culture to sell albums as part of her scheme to dominate the pop charts with lo-fi sadcore
     
    Eli Roth video = Lana glamorizing rape culture, burying it on a demo reel, and then secretly leaking the video to Lanaboards in order to ???
     
    Machiavellian edgy glamour queen

    This was heavily discussed when it came up, why say the same things all over again?
     
     
    This sums it up pretty much. Besides we've only seen a tiny bit of what seems to be a larger video, stop speculating.

    What? There are many films, books, etc. that touch on devastating subjects without endorsing them. Lana has given a voice for oppressed women through her work and I don't see how this video is any different. You can see the pain on the character played by Lana's face.

    I don't find anything offensive in there. It's like watching a movie or a series where a woman is raped. Lana is acting in the video, just like any other actress would do. And it's not like she puts on a face as if she is enjoying it.
    People make this a bigger discussion than it actually is. 
     
    Stopped caring for Marilyn in 1998. He just became a parody of himself after he couldn't really do anything anymore to upset the Gee Pee after a while.

    There's a saddest truth about all this that no one mentioned. Truth is this shows the value US and media gives to woman victims of rape or woman in general. These American websites dragged Lana to the dirty for over a year because her dad had money and invested in her career, she changed her name, did a couple plastic surgeries and wasn't authentic. A bunch of crap they repeated non stop making her "a internet joke" . That and that SNL performance. They dragged her again this year over a comment on the dead and suicide. 
     
    Now here we are, 2014. She does something like this video with MM and Routh, intentional or not the video leaks. Incomplete or not, is disturbing because is rape just for rape, ain't art because doesn't create a discussion, ain't nothing but a rape scene. The media doesn't say A SINGLE WORD. Mainly obscure blogs/sites gave a line or 2 to the subject, nothing else.
     
    Lip  fillers, plastic surgery, accusing an artist which is clearly authentic of not being so it's worth a fucking year of discussion. Rape and calling out for something that actually matters the reason why she chose to do it, doesn't deserve attention.
     
    The subject is not Lana anymore, is the FUCK they give to rape victims in US. If in that video was Taylor Swift, Rihanna or Ariana I truly believe they wouldn't care either.

    Pretty on the Inside is a macabre masterpiece. I love that record.
     
    Live Through This is much more accessible, and the softer side that she shows on that album splays my heart open. "Doll Parts" can make me teary-eyed on the right occasion.

    I love everything that she's ever released to be honest, even her 2004 solo record which, while not great by her standards, is a lot better than most other crap.

    I honesty loved Hole's debut album I thought it was sooo great a couple of years ago.
    Pretty on the inside...

    I'm a huge fan of Hole, not so much Courtney's solo work but I listen to it from time to time.
  17. Greenwich liked a post in a topic by drownsoda in Courtney Love appreciation thread   
    Just wanting to see if there are any other Courtney Love/Hole fans on here. I'm a bigger fan of Ms. Love than I am of Lana even, but I've been listening to Hole for far longer. When I found out they were touring together I thought I was hallucinating— just seemed too good to be true. I am ecstatic to get to see them in one show. It's a weird pairing, but a perfect one.
     
    Any other Courtney fans?
     
    For those of you who aren't familiar with her (many of you are young and probably aren't), this is what you're getting yourself into with Courtney Love:

    It's like the winter we're not in but yeah, I love this simile so much! I'm not sure about the feeling as I have never snorted cocaine before but I know of its appearance and, just like you said, it looks like snow and snow is of winter. She also calls it snow in the first verse (I think): turning diamonds into snow. I'm in love with the use of metaphor in this song!
     
    Actually, I have a suggestion for the lyrics:
    You guys don't think it might be white lines, baking powder on the stove? Like, a repetition of that white lines lyric as Lana does say it a few times throughout the song.
     
    And also, I'd just like to add that I'm in love with that guitar bit at the beginning  I could listen to the instrumental on repeat, but I love Lana's voice, it's kinda different to the rest of the tracks on Ultra, like, the tone. Honestly, I hope she sings it live!

    Not that it really matters, but I did it from my phone and every time I double space it adds a period and the space bar is right next to the return/enter button. Too lazy to care, just wanted to get the lyrics up.

    "it's cool because i'm really loud like 'aaagh!' and she's really reserved and dainty. I love Lana"

    This is my collection! I leave the albums free from bonus tracks, (most specifically Visions), and leave all misc. as under "Grimes".
    If I'm missing something, let me know, if you see something you want, also just tell me.
     
    There are plenty of songs out there, such as Saturn Princess and some new live versions, but I don't think they're worth collecting at this point since most of them are low quality, and I know the new ones are gonna be on the album. (I hope...)
