You are so fucking hilarious I love you 
 
I would want to hang out with her for a whole day and get breakfast at Denny’s, go to the park, grab ice cream, ask her all the questions, head to the beach, and have a cute little dinner at Mel’s for burgers and shakes, maybe crash a studio session to hear what it’s like to be in the presence of musical greatness in process 

girl share some of that crack w the rest of us  

So last night I had enough of feeling sad/good, and wanted to feel sad/angry for a minute, so I watched Fantano's review. All in all, it's his usual shtick, but two things stood out to me.
First, he makes a reference to her 'doing a Yoko' on Dealer, and then quickly follows up by saying that he actually likes Yoko. This is such classic hipster doofus review strategy that even when he catches himself out turning to the oldest cliche in the book (crapping on Yoko will always get a cheap laugh), he doesn't have the self awareness to look into what might be behind her singing. Hence, he continues to be a guy who can't deal with an artist releasing a record that doesn't fit into the phony category he's decided they belong in.
Secondly, he says that her voice just isn't for him. This is something I wish he'd just said up front, and been done with it. I find it bewildering that anybody who doesn't like Lana's voice would have enjoyed any of her records (as he did with at least parts of LFL/NFR/CotCC), but I also can't see why he can't either count himself out from reviewing her albums, or try to imagine what somebody who enjoys her voice might think of it. I hate the modern idea that everything needs to be for everybody, and if it isn't then you can voice your dumb opinion about why it's not for you as though it matters.
Overall, I really envy my best friend and fellow Lana stan, who is never on social media/message boards/review sites, and gets to enjoy the records on his own terms, just like we did when we were fifteen and we literally did not hear what anyone thought of our favourite records unless we hunted down an obscure print magazine from Europe or something. People should be allowed to not like something, and have the grace to not bother talking about it. There's never been an easier time in recent history to ignore any music/TV/films/whatever that you don't care about.

He's so cute and funny

richness and warmth is a great way to describe all the UV-era songs on the record– NOTG in particular has this atmospheric warmth that makes the song feel so much more richly produced than it is– wondering if there's something about the production of these songs that produces that effect, or if its the specific intonations and tone of her vocals during that time, or something else entirely. one thing that's really consistent on all the tracks, old and new, is that lana is super emotionally present in her vocals, which lends to some of the warmth-creating intimacy.
 
have had CB on repeat in my head for the past 24 hours and damn...i really feel for people who can't get into this one because it goes so fucking hard. totally makes me understand why she didn't want to record older songs– the performances she captured are so stellar.

this is only last.fm but it's cool to see that lana is trending

hating bitches made her rich $$$

she's referring to the rise of Lana Del Rey and the way the media and public has scrutinized every single thing she does and says, because of their interest in her, it made her a lot of money.
