Barrie said a few days ago on Periscope that he wants to release Riverside but the record label won't let him. I don't see why his label wouldn't want it out so i guess the problem comes from Lana's side. Maybe this is related to the angry post he made a few months ago about the men in black suits that talk about music.

Also Barrie will be back at Hotel Cafe August 4 at 7 p.m. tickets on their site

Actually he responded yesterday to someone who called him a faggot and a liar for not releasing Riverside. He said that he never said he will release the song for Lana's birthday and that someone faked that photo with the screenshot.

I'm an art student and my work is super inspired by Lana but in a subtle way I guess. I made several drawings from Lana candids but I haven't drawn her properly yet. I did Barrie though. He liked it on Instagram, I feel blessed 
 
 
 
Two of my pieces are from the Malibu hotel candids from January 2014, probably one of my very dearest looks of her. It's kind of a new and different style for me though, still not sure I'm that into it. Sorry the pics are really big!!!
 
 
 
 
Also one of my installation is kind of me trying to summon Lana's ghost... It's pretty fake deep and weird to explain but here's some pics. Sorry about the "Lanz" part haha. I'm really fascinated by the fact that only I, those who know who I talk about and get the references, and Lana herself but that's not even sure, would get the reference and crack the real meaning of the piece. I'm writing my thesis on this. I'm sorry this seems so artsty-fartsy by no means do I want to appear more highbrow or any other shit. But it was my first real public exhibition and I'm very glad Lana was the biggest inspiration.
 
 
 
 
 
Shameful self-promo - promise I will never do it again - this is my art blog.
 
 

I hope one day y'all have a mature relationship with your exes so that you won't see everything as shade.

I remember she once told in an interview she used to eat spaghetti with plain tomato sauce every evening. I don't think there's something to do with Francesco.

He fed me and it felt like a kiss

"He used to call me BS ..."

He's a nice guy, y'all need to leave him alone since I doubt any of you know the inner workings of their relationship or what terms they're on rn.

Since I really liked 'SCUMBag' I made an EP with all the 5 songs he sang, for people who are interested:
 

SCUMBaG (Short Movie) - EP:
01. Mary
02. I See Her Smiling
03. Way Over My Head
04. Art Of Resurrection
05. Magic Me
 
Download
I know the cover art is ugly but see it as some kind of placeholder.

Thanks, the vimeo worked fine (and I hope it lasts).
 
Great *performance* music video with interesting visual montages of NB (or is it BJO?) wandering around looking mopey between songs. However, the musical noodling BJO does (mostly on prepared/processed piano), while he sulks,  makes it very pleasurable. It was also interesting to see just how comfortable he looked/sounded behind the piano. I really hope "I See Her Smiling", which has an unexpected appearance here, makes it to his record. Art of Resurrection (the one guitar song) seemed strong (don't want to overplay before the record) and definitely has a Barrie-style, which I'm beginning to appreciate more. Magic Me seems like a fragment and not a full song (or is it just a very short song?). It was kind of a curious (potentially optimistic?) way to end things, regardless of the pessimistic suggestions implied by the traffic signs at the close of the video. 
 
For literary nerds only:
 
The Edgar A. Poe (single-line) quote at the very end was interesting, if in case you are wondering whether or not Barrie is a habitual depressive. I'll share the background I found on it.
 
It happens to be the top-liked quote at: 
http://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/4624490.Edgar_Allan_Poe
 
It is also apparently a quote from a personal correspondance, not a story!

"I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity. During these fits of absolute unconsciousness, I drank - God only knows how often or how much. As a matter of course, my enemies referred the insanity to the drink, rather than the drink to the insanity." -- Edgar Allan Poe, letter to an admirer.
 
Finally there's an actual context to this quote that relates to the death of EAP's wife, which was protracted. It was not so much her dying (eventually) that took its toll on Poe, but the time it took her die over the course of the illness (some kind of enurism). 
quote context starting at 3rd para (The year 1841...):

the quote itself on next page:

I wonder if Barrie likes the work of Thomas Ligotti, who is a U.S. horror writer (short-fiction), who has something of a philosophical perspective/aesthetic that may relate to the Poe quote. Ligotti is also sometimes compared to Poe. 

It's on vimeo:

Any idea when Tidal releases its clutches on this (youtube is now blocked)? Wish he'd just release his album so I could buy it, I'm here for Barrie (not for tidal).

Last night TIDAL premiered Barrie's short film SCUMBaG. For those not on TIDAL you can watch it here: 
 
Songs: 'Mary', 'I See Her Smiling', 'Way Over My Head', 'Art of Resurrection', 'Magic Me'
 
Stills from the film:

 

 

 

 

 

Omfg is she really closing with OTTR I'm gonna past out

I'm gonna fucking scream
 
I NEED HQ RECORDINGS OF CHELSEA HOTEL, BROOKLYN BABY, YCBTB, SERIAL KILLER, DO RIGHT & OTTR

chelsea hotel omg 

Lol they should've used Neil's work for the merch. Guess UV is getting swept under the rug once again

Born To Die era - "Just let me do what I'm fucking doing, sign these things"
 
Ultraviolence era - "I got money for it? You're giving me fucking atitude? Jeeeeeezus!"
 
Honeymoon era - "This is fucking bullshit!"

Omggg serial killer sounds heavenly,,,,,Shes unleashing her full siren powers on us, shes no longer holdin back!! #LanaDelSlay 

She sounds like an angel. This is what I imagine it to sound like after I die and I'm ascending up to the heavens.

if they were just playing random songs for the hell of it and jamming as some people have said then they wouldn't do the same ones two days in a row... i think it's likely now that she'll actually perform them.

I'm happy about that too. She has so many gems - Never Let Me Go, Damn You, Hollywood's Dead etc. - that she never talked about and it's nice to see her do something with these great songs
