  1. "Put on that Hotel California ..." *Immediately read about Eagles of Death Metal hostages* Wait for my companion post: HAUNTED BY DON HENLEY
  2. I think the cheeks are all hers ...
  3. This is the key point. "Lana Del Rey" is not strictly a person, she is an archetype manifested by Lizzy Grant — an archetype derived from where? From the Still Point between Time Past and Time Future, and the Goddess of that space (see Tropico). Beauty is archetypal precisely because it recalls the pre-existent Form of the beautiful. Star Wars is a Monomyth (see Joseph Campbell), and somehow, so is she — her career follows the arc of a crucifixion on the world-stage. Therefore the question becomes not if "life imitates Lana," but if Lizzy imitates a pre-existent Lana, or vice versa—all depending on whether you view time forwards or backwards.
  4. Maybe Life ISN'T Beautiful and Dalai Lana is giving us a harsh lesson about the realities of the street
  5. Why is Clinton stalling on the LiB release? How do Trump and Sanders stand on the issue?
  6. Just like how "Video Games" is the first song she ever wrote
  7. By "mastering" she means "telling the poor overworked schlub at Gateway Mastering to APPLY AS MUCH MID-BASS COMPRESSION AS POSSIBLE I WANT MORE I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU SAY MOTHERFUCKER"
  8. God works in mysterious ways or: Katy's House of Worship
  9. I definitely hear "Dive in, dive deep and dive blue my sweet"
  10. Dive in, dive deep and dive blue my sweet (I think these are the right lyrics?) Rushing up from the water where the ice meets And you've been gone so long, you missed everything The world can change in a day if you go away To retreat within her own depths is her impulse as a mystic … but, to follow that impulse would risk being forgotten by the world. Why say anything to her that she has not already contemplated? #Introvertedpopstarproblems.
  11. ^^ Yes ANYWAYS I'm pretty sure everything you people are arguing about has been addressed directly in the masterpiece that is "Swan Song"
  12. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9wV7QWyXf8 much sadcore
  13. Lana at least changes her sound with every album; if you really want to look at people adhering to a lazy formula, those artists both continue to release the same shapeless, meandering electronic-influenced songs, but have amassed too much critical goodwill for anyone to honestly assess their real originality and growth. Really, they are just better at having the right amount of residual "cool" factor and a brand that works. I guess the reason I keep coming back here is that the rest of the music world just … insane. Lana always seems to have the ethos that melody is not passé, and we need to go back to that sort of 60's songcraft if we ever want to move forward.
  14. Star of The Hunger Games is the brunette girl who is always on fire and has unlikely pop hits about suicide and fucks fights her way to the top Star of AHS S2 is Lana Winters Star of Archer is Lana Kane Star of Once Upon a Time is Lana Parrilla Star of Star Wars: The Force Awakens is Rey Creator of The Matrix is Lana Wachowski Every single show I watch ... life imitates Art
  15. Please let her meet Steve Albini in the next strip club
  16. Paradise is immaculately produced and the only bad track is "Blue Velvet," y'all need to buy a real sound system Picasso never explained his Art; something she seems to take to heart
  17. Honestly her sound is just too big, too cinematic to work on CD ... the digital compression ruins the dynamics and subtlety that she deserves. But you know what I think about that already. (How many people have to complain before we say "enough" to the Loudness Wars? That sort of style works for Taylor Swift, but it really doesn't work for her.)
