    Tove Lo

    Tove Lo just announced on Facebook that she is having vocal problems, and is going to be out of action for a couple of months https://twitter.com/iamtovelo/status/544790368785428480
  2. As tweeted by Tinashe - https://twitter.com/Tinashe/status/544302878576631811
  3. This is cool. I met a guy randomly who said that he filmed this, and that apparently a lot more was filmed but not uploaded for some reason.
  4. I apologise. That came across as much more arrogant than it should have been.
  5. It's a direct reference to one of the most famous quotes from 20th Century film, so I would say it's not a coincidence.

    Azealia Banks

    Thank you I'm really hoping it gets released in Australia as well - I've already heard it playing in a Cafe a few weeks ago on Saturday night, so that's a cool sign.

    Azealia Banks

    Sorry to keep playing this note, but is there any more news on a physical CD/deluxe edition? Amazon does not have any mention of it.
  8. But 'soaring high and from the fire' is a terrible, clunky phrase in English (about on the level of 'ah he's in the sky with diamonds', which she also doesn't sing.) ETA: Referring to both a Phoenix and an Iron is a pretty cool mixed metaphor, describing two different types of thing that come out of a fire, suggesting different aspects of her personality.
  9. Nobody can accuse me of starting to bash him now (I started in 1996), but this is some beyond Lana-level obfuscation. The headline should be "Marilyn Manson runs crying from controversial Lana Del Rey project"
  10. I'm almost positive this is the line. It sounds like what she's singing, and it works poetically. There are metaphors to do with a hot iron: "strike while the iron is hot"; "several irons in the fire" ( http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/irons_in_the_fire ).

    That's a cool song She got some attention for being on several soundtrack, but she's a basically 100% independent artist. I respect her as much as I love her work.
  12. There's nothing that drives me crazier than people who think they're entitled to be front row, for whatever reason. I went to see a pretty big independent band recently, and my friends and I waited about two hours before doors opened, made some new friends, and we all got front row. These short women came up to the front after the support band, and tried to push through, calling us assholes for not letting short people through. IMO, the only thing that entitles you to the front is being there first. (And I've been to lots of shows with girlfriends and my sister, all of whom count as short women, and we've gotten to the front by taking time off work and waiting.)

    Anya Marina

    (From Wikipedia) Anya has released three records Miss Halfway (2005) is acoustic Slow and Steady Seduction: Phase II (2009) is cool pop Felony Flats (2012) is pop/rock. All of her records can be previewed on her bandcamp page. Some videos of her: Anya also co-hosts an often x-rated podcast called 'We Know Nothing' with her roommate, comedian Nikki Glaser, along with Phil Hanley. I highly recommend this if you're not easily offended by girls talking about sex.
  14. Also, that PopMatters #73 might look like a low position, but it comes with a rapturous write-up that ends with
  15. Some of these came out pretty spot on. If your life was a TV show, this would be the theme song: All You Need Will you ever get to heaven?: Playing Dangerous Song you dance to at your wedding: Summer of Sam This song contains the name of your first-born: Hot Hot Hot Song played at your funeral: Because of You What do you want right now?: Every Man Gets His Wish Song that describes your sex life: Driving In Cars With Boys How will you die?: Old Money Your life motto: Yayo What do you look for in a girl?: Fake Diamond Song that plays in your head when you see someone attractive: Burning Desire What people think of you: Find My Own Way Where will you live?: Ghetto Baby What is your vice?: Kill Kill What is the most important thing in your life?: Hollywood Who do you look up to?: Hundred Dollar Bill
  16. That would be great, and would be more in line with the actual private life of Lana circa 2014/15, as opposed to Lana circa 2005.
  17. "Working on a new record" doesn't (necessarily) mean recording it.
  18. It's growing on me a lot, but it's made me wonder if she'll make a record more in this style, or if it will stand alone like Y&B.
  19. I'm a fan, particularly of the First Session CD. Courtney will always be hated by some people, but I'm sure she doesn't care at all. And nice avi, @@drownsoda. It's nice to see the original Iggy on this site
  20. I'm becoming a broken record comparing Lana and Chan, but I'd argue that CP is one of the few acts that Lana cites as an influence that she actually sounds like. And 'Get Drunk' is the best Cat Power song that Chan never wrote.
  21. Full lyrics With your big eyes And your big lies With your big eyes And your big lies I saw you creeping round the garden What are you hiding? I beg your pardon Don't tell me nothing I used to think that I could trust you I was your woman You were my knight and Shining companion To my surprise my love's demise Was his own greed and lullabies With your big eyes And your big lies With your big eyes And your big lies I noticed you got hot in summer You had no comfort Your shirt was cotton Your face was sunburned You paced around like you'd been waiting Waiting for something Your world was burning And I stood watching As I looked on the flames grew high You watched me from I said goodbye With your big eyes And your big lies With your big eyes And your big lies Is it me was I wrong to have trusted you Did I see what I wanted what wasn't true Was I wrong to go on like a little fool It's amazing what women in love will do With your big eyes And your big lies With your big eyes And your big lies
