  1. 'Fucking up big time' is a pretty unambiguous phrase in English, meaning making a mess of life, usually through bad decisions. What I find exhilarating and fascinating is how we don't know who the 'You' is - Lana? The guy? The mother?
  2. Nice use of the movie! (Although kind of sad that lots of people commenting on it apparently don't know the reference).
  3. This popped up a couple of days ago on youtube - it fits Lana both lyrically and musically. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - (Are You) The One That I've Been Waiting For
  4. I'm not sure the world's ready to hear Lana sing 'I was a little lightweight to play line-backer, but I wanted to play football for the coach'
  5. Not Metallica ripping off Lana by putting out a 7 minute song that takes riffs from their earlier work. (The big difference is that the Metallica song sucks like most of what they've done since 1992, so no reason to actually listen to it.)
  6. I have a lot of long term hatred for major record labels, and it's so fun to watch them sinking into the swamp of irrelevance.
  7. Lana giving a date that's only about a year off being accurate is virtually a miracle.
  8. It also puts the act of releasing the two singles on his birthday, and on Valentines Day, into even sharper perspective.
  9. Definitely weed vibes. more than crack.
  10. Lael Neale - I Am The River I think people whose tastes are similar to mine will like this.
  11. I've seen this 'wrong release date' thing happen a heap of times in the past. Rarely, there actually is something to it, but it's almost always automated systems not being updated, and when it comes to the date you're waiting for, there's simply no product, and the staff throw their hands up and say "sorry, we don't have it."
  12. I'm not going to listen to leaks, but if JB Hi Fi put a copy in the racks early, and I hear about it, I'm sure as heck going to buy it. (Flashback to a certain large independent record store here in the mid 90s getting a box of CDs on a Friday afternoon when the release was meant to be the following Tuesday, for what was the biggest band in the world, and the legendary owner saying to me "I'm not going to stop you listening to a great record for a whole 4 days!")
  13. Robsters is actuallly the official title - it's what Rob used to call people who followed and and commented on his social media. I'll try to find a link, but it's from back around 2014.
  14. I'm truly sorry that whatever prison you're currently in forces you to post on message boards of artists who you hate.
  15. I've bought every CD (more or less) on release day at JB-Hi Fi, and they've had to go out the back and bring out the box to cut it open and stock the shelves, when I've asked for it. They're not motivated enough to do things like leak albums early.
  16. I've often thought she posts certain photos for the benefit of one particular person (not the same person every time), and this seems like the best example yet
  17. You know what, I thought about this some more, and I think I'm biased from hearing Cale sing it in concert. It is a very specific song when it's sung from a Jewish perspective, and that's why I hate both Christians who have turned it into an evangelical song, but also hipsters who say that it's just about a guy trying to get laid. Both of them are way wide of the mark. I'm more of a Songs of Love and Hate fan than anything (although that early 70s 'Live' album is also incredible). The GP really can't handle categorising someone as either a saint or the literal devil, can they. It's so hard to separate Spector the artist from Spector the scumbag, mostly because he was a known scumbag even when he was being an artist. The Ramones hired him to produce because they loved his 60s girl group songs, and ended up having to live with a lunatic who pointed a gun at them. He should have been locked up decades before he eventually It was purely down to them not having a (regular) guitar. All anyone talked about was their lineup and how 'novel' it was, rather than how great the songs were. I don't remember any respectful mainstream coverage of them at the time - only maybe when Mark passed away. It's fun! I was discovering most of these artists in my late teens/twenties, and don't always think about them as often as I should (although without exaggerating, Leonard Cohen songs come into my head at least once every single day).
