I always find it fascinating when she sings about California. I think this distant, sunny state has a greater appeal here in cold Central Europe than on the East Coast of the USA, for example. Even when she sings about the beach or the sea. I only know both from occasional vacations, and they are beautiful places that you like to hear about.

there are always a few exceptions, but at the end of the day, I think it's just a music industry award

Lana didn't play a role at this year's Billboard Music Awards, which probably reduces her chances of winning a Grammy in the main categories https://www.billboard.com/music/awards/2023-billboard-music-awards-bbmas-winners-list-1235491435/

she also reposted the photos with what I think is a "collection of inspirations" she mentionend the names (Gina) Lollobrigida, (?) Muti, (Sophie) Loren, (Claudia) Cardinale & (?) Shields , seems most of them are Italien

The 70's were the most relevant musical decade, closely followed by the 80's, then the 60's and the 90's. Only a few songs have been written in the last few years that will still be known or interesting in a few decades.

I wonder when the first single from LDR10 will be released. She don't seem to be planning any time off next year to concentrate on the album. Is it almost finished? Or is it planned for a much later date? We might know more by the end of the year.

The problem is that people always blame the other side for everything (whether they are right or not). Everyone should first solve the problems on their own doorstep, the Palestinians should ask themselves if they are trivializing the terror of Hamas too much or distancing themselves from it too little, and the Israelis should actually realize that they are constantly increasing the terror and hatred against them with their military actions, violations of international law, and illegal settler activities.

The problem is not the original definition, but the context in which it was (mis)used (Calls for the destruction of Israel). Just as the swastika was originally a religious symbol, but in most cases it is no longer understood in this way.

@Veinsineon the slogan "from the river to the sea" is very disputed: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/From_the_river_to_the_sea On November 11, 2023, the slogan was banned in Bavaria (Germany), and "the prosecutor's office and the Bavarian police warned that henceforth the use of this slogan, regardless of language, will be considered as the use of symbols of terrorist organizations. This may result in punishment of up to three years in prison or a fine."

There are a lot of immigrant Muslims living in Germany and right now Jews are actually living in fear (again) because all the hate is now directed at them. It's absolutely shocking. https://www.spiegel.de/international/germany/absolutely-appalling-a-new-wave-of-anti-semitism-sweeps-across-germany-a-50e18e6a-03ae-4ea5-99ec-6d0c8753558a https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/24/rise-in-antisemitism-brings-germans-back-to-most-horrific-times I'm in favor of pro-Palestinian protests, but you have to be careful that they don't turn into anti-Semitic violence (even though most of the protesters are actually peaceful).

if you want some basic bitch queen go to the Beverly Center South Coast Plaza mall in Costa Mesa and find her

maybe she likes his success story more than his actual music

Ginger Spice vs Posh Spice

the most important thing other magazines took away from this interview is the confirmation that she's single again https://people.com/lana-del-rey-confirms-shes-single-says-ex-had-little-bubble-ego-8405388 https://www.elle.com/culture/celebrities/a43486178/lana-del-rey-fiance-evan-winiker/

yesterday or the day before, the song seems to have had a massive jump in Spotify streams from 140k to now 600k.

the weeknd collab confirmed this video was far more interesting than the interview

So she has swapped her candy necklace back for a 330 carats Schlumberger Vigne necklace. https://www.tiffany.com/high-jewelry/schlumberger-vigne-necklace/

Ok, I wasn't expecting that femme fatale - maybe that's the new direction for ldr10

Breakfast At Tiffany's vs Rear Window

Gone With The Wind vs. The Wizard of Oz

Billie Eilish vs Dua Lipa
