YUNGATA

The hip swinging action

 

 

 

Apparently she was really emotional at the set due to the death of one of their fans. He passed away a few days ago from cancer,

It's quite beautiful to see she's so in touch with fans.

omg Sitar I really like that! The tag line is perfect. Have you considered going into advertising? Not even kidding that's a real elegant ad. wouldbuy/10.

So for the, uh, defunct Paradise competition that was happening here, the last challenge before it died a fiery death was to design a perfume ad campaign for Lana. This didn't require much skill, but I thought I'd post it, cheesy tagline and all, since I put some effort into it:
 
Billboard:

 
Magazine:

It's Video Games slowed down 7.21x. The vocals freaked me out at first but it's really growing on me. I love how ethereal and haunting it sounds. I kind of reminded me of that Justin Bieber song slowed down 800x.
What do you think?
 
Anyway, if you know of other Lana songs slowed down I'd love to listen.

Listening to this sort of thing makes you question some of the fundamental aspects of music like time, duration, rest, rhythm, pitch, timbre, etc.
 
What the hell is time? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
 
Do you feel as if your brain is being stretched out like putty?
 
This feels like Phillip Glass in that unrelenting repetitive sense. It also makes me feel a bit of the sort of mind-fuckery that happens when you listen the music of the whacko Italian composer, Giacinto Scelsi, who developed a style of composition where pieces were based entirely around one single note. Somehow, even though there is no fundamental relationship between the two, there is a similar feeling going on in these things people upload to YouTube where they significantly slow down a song, except the sound texture here is more reminiscent of modern "ambient" music.
 
I love this shit.
 
I remember that Rebecca Black Friday song slowed down, like, 800% sounding remarkably like Angelo Badalamenti, and how weird that is that something could inadvertently turn out that way like that. Messing with the tempo but not with the pitch always messes with my mind. I guess Rebecca Black on her own messes with my mind. What sort of life is she going to have? Is she dead?
 
Speaking of changing the tempo without changing the pitch, for a good example of the inverse of that, i.e. changing the pitch but not the speed--in the analog domain no less!--the song She's Goin' Bald by The Beach Boys, who in 1967 used cutting edge (and very expensive) technology to achieve the effect of gradually speeding up the pitch without altering the tempo, which you can hear starting at 0:50. It is yet another example of the Beach Boys being at the forefront of new ideas in pop music without really being recognized for it
 
Sounds like the sort of thing that nowadays people do with a single click in 2 seconds on their laptop in the bedroom.

Please excuse my tangent.

I was on her side from the beginning. I don't think I could wrap my head around how anyone that young could have a voice like that at first. She really was just incredible. Her voice had such range and power and her phrasing was dead on when she was sang jazz. If she was alive and making records, I don't think Adele would be as big as she is.
 
When she was on, she was such an incredible performer:

Thank you so much I just hope its a dry day and not teaming down with rain, dont fancy waiting for hours getting soaked lol

Ahhh that's a shame. Well I really hope you get a chance to meet her beforehand then!

In Paradise when she's like
DOPE
THAT'S SICK
 
her gangsta talk is just toooooo funny.

Illuminati tbh

I love Lana with her hair up, her ears are so cute

People are put off by this? I slow down her songs all the time. They're really interesting that way. I'll upload some later. ^_^

I live for all versions of Yayo to be honest. It's a beautiful song and the way Lana continues to reinvent it is very refreshing. I'm excited to hear live versions too, I think they'll be real gems.

If I die (and for some fucked up reason get to heaven), then this tune will meet me at the gate.
