Then how do you explain Leonard Cohen? Over 80 years old and hotter than ever. With NO hit singles, and in his entire life, one top 10 album.
He sells out Madison Square Garden and Radio City Music Hall and only does it with his lyrics, which is poetry.
 
The vast majority of hit tours now are by artists who were from the 1960s, 1970s, 1980s who have kept their entire fan base (those still living of course) and do so with zero new product, or when a new record comes
out, it does not sell well, except for the fan base.
What about Garth Brooks? He retired for 15 years, came back, radio won't touch his new stuff, but he is setting records in concerts left and right (and not only that, he is now free to be the liberal he always was, but had to hide
when he was in the mainstream country market going for #1s on the country chart. Garth actually is a good example- he forced people to find him, to listen to him only on country stations and refused to release singles to the Top40
stations, and people did.
 
Maybe a good example is Matraca Berg. Mainstream country, pop or rock did not play her songs. Yet she now is in the songwriters hall of fame and others have sung hundreds of her songs.
And Matraca also had the problem of being taken seriously because of her really good looks.
 
Yes, art exists. Not everyone is in it for the money, and Lana don't need a penny, so no need for money.
 
Lana found and got fame, on her own terms, not on the old boys network way of doing things. That alone is why the old boys network hates her. Because they can't mold her or shape her, and they can't control her.
(see:Prince for another artist they couldn't control)  For too long record companies have ripped artists off.
Lana is doing it her way, not anyone elses way.
Whatever she does or doesn't do is 100% great by me, because it's her life and she is doing as she pleases.
(Perhaps some here while debating minutia are actually forgetting it's her life and she is doing it on her own terms, and in her private life, she seems happier than ever. Maybe thinking otherwise is just thinking wrong.
 
The 27 narrative right before UV after all was the media picking up on a wrong fact. She was never 27 at the time, she was 28. But the media writes what they want, and ran with it.
Lana outsmarted them, and Lana outsmarted Sam Smith. Lana got the #1. Sam still hasn't gone higher than #2. I doubt anyone will remember Sam ten years from now, there will be 100 newer more relevant people than him.
 
But Lana will still be singing (perhaps as Elizabeth by then, perhaps still as Lana).
The one shame is, she didn't get the chance with Lou Reed. That would have been major.
 
and Lana is always one second away from releasing one of her many unreleased (and future unreleased) pure pop instantly catch and trendy songs that would instantly go to the top
but she doesn't. Because that doesn't fit with what she wants. But we all know them because we are lucky enough that Queen of Disaster and Pale Moonlight and the others were put out there so we can hear them.
Which is more important in the world? Writing a song or making a buck? The power is in writing and creating. The creations are there already.
A true artist creates, not sells.  (like most actual paint artists, they are not famous until decades later).
It is two different areas of being. 
 
Lana in her sleep could snore a song ten times better than the new Britney/Iggy song Pretty girls, is that really what anyone here would want Lana to become just to have a number 1 song?

It depends on who recorded it too, like how many fans were singing along in that certain part of the audience. I saw videos of performances where you can hear only Lana and it's very nice and then in another video of the performance you almost can't hear it. I guess it also depends on what they use to record something.
 
What I hate is when there is a recording where there is total silence and you can hear 1 goddamn fan singing along distinctly and without stop and of course their voice sucks Like, really? 

Don't understand all the hate for this so far. It sounds so angelic and heavenly to me, I'm currently in tears at how good this is. I hope we get the full song soon, it's so beautiful. And y'all are so pessimistic about Dan Heath's works, I've actually loved most of the stuff he's produced with Lana, my personal favorite being Bel Air.
 (although I can understand the Big Eyes mess though)

Why people need to be so negative about a ballad written for a movie? It doesn't need to sound different from her usual stuff because that's the reason why the producers wanted her on the soundtrack in first place. It's a classic ballad with a cinematic feel and it fits perfectly the tone of the trailer.    
 
But something about the timing of this release tell me this was last-minute decision to put her on the soundtrack ( maybe to get some buzz for the movie).

I don't see why you either have to like UV or BtD. I love both. They're totally different beasts. I have no doubt that Honeymoon will be different than the two of them. Just because she said it sounds more like BtD than UV did doesn't mean she's regressing in terms of style. You can go back to a certain style while still moving forward. It's not impossible.

I will never understand the hatred for Paradise's version of Yayo. I prefer it over AKA's.

If Lana is obliged to take responsibility for her actions (not sure what she's actually referring to tbh) maybe Kim should take responsibility and apologise to Lana for those vile and cruel words. She may have toned it down for the book but the original comment is still out there, we all read it so she can't just ignore it.

I do believe the French have already compared LDR to Chris Isaak with some admiration. What I find amazing about this newer comment is this: If Chris Isaak was heavily criticized as an anti-feminist menace, then Kim Gordon's comment could make sense. However, if Chris Isaak was never so criticized, then her remark is amazingly anti-feminist in the sense that it suggests males can do anti-feminist things with impunity that females can't. BTW, what I think she's referring to is CI's tendency to obsess or submit to a lover in some of his songs (e.g. songs like "Livin for you Lover", "Wicked Game"). Finally, I get the impression Kim is digging herself into a deeper hole (and that LDR shouldn't reply for that reason). 

She's protective of Frances Cobain, ergo she completely trashes Courtney Love, the girl's fucking mother, and implies she's mentally ill?
The bigger question should be why is this repugnant woman still talking?
She got the attention she wanted for her book, idiots everywhere are applauding her for her "wit" in suggesting a young woman kill herself, and she did all of it without getting half the public backlash Lana gets for showing up to an interview without a forced pearly smile.
Love how just a few days ago she was smugly retweeting Lana fans like their expressions of disgust were the height of hilarity now she's awkwardly trying to dig herself out of a hole. Also this was NOT a cat fight, Lana took no part in this. This was one feeble older woman viciously slandering a harmless 29 year old younger woman (whom she'd never even met) and disguising it as feminist commentary.
