It's times like this I wish my MK announcer game was on point... Round one; FIGHT!

Marrakesh Ballgag Balmy Whore Raw Kush In-N-Out Melodrama Four Seasons Selfies #Honeymoon2015 y'all

He just read the whole indie blogosphere down boots, baby! Loves it.

ok but do y'all remember when we thought fordham road was _never_ going to leak lmao

Uh, in no real order: I just love how the NY drawl comes out to play here. Outfit for days, vocals for months, and atmosphere for years. My show. I may or may not have had a seizure at about 2:19. "Get it girl, get it!" I love this a lot. Don't know why.

Oh, wait. I think it's You say you wanna go swimming in my rain.

OUT WITH A BANG edit: It's definitely "reflec-tec-tecting". Gorgeous harmony.

where is that clip from st tropez.mp3 ("u don't get it, u just don't get it") when we need it tho?

Lana's lyrics are meant to tell a story only loosely, like a painting does. I thought that was obvious, what with her sincere focus on aesthetics over anything else.

So, wait -- do we know that this is getting released?

If I had my way, Lana would still look like she did that one night at Arlene's Grocery in 2009. I'm just saying. Come on, y'all. She looked good, and if not because of the outfit, hair and makeup, then because she was radiating cheer with her smiley attitude. Let her live.

"Get to Fuck"

YAAAASSS @ the redeeming lil note on how far the women's rights movement has come over the years

I feel like Florida Kilos would slay as an opener. That's all.

^ same tbh is the setlist ben mawson's fault because if homegirl is over the setlist she's been repping for like 3 years then u'd have thought she'd CHANGE IT UP tbh (wow i began and ended a sentence with tbh; i need an intervention don't i)

Okay, but... If only I put this much effort into my academia...

I think the appeal in Lana's dichotomy for me lies with the fact that, like... I've said this before, but you see a random chick on YouTube named Lana Del Rey (which is a bombastic pseudonym in and of itself) with a song called Video Games, and you click on it expecting, I don't know, EDM realness. Enter church bells, a blockbuster harp riff and back-of-the-local-establishment ingenue vocals. And the video moved me, too -- I've always felt like Lana and I both have the same sense of aesthetic, only she knows how to convey it and I don't. It all feels so handpicked. The clips in her videos, the musical motifs. Backyard barbecues and choking on your tears in the presidential suite. It's a little bit of this and a little bit of that, which is what everyone's life is like. Her design has continuity, nevermind that I'd love it anyway. Kind of like watching the last arc of Sailor Moon and seeing nods to past episodes. Lana may well seem nostalgic, but that's because she's singing about K in 2005 and 2014. She loves Lolita and blue flowers and she keeps to that, you know? It's hard to not appreciate, I think. It's not even integrity, it's just a sense of self that I think she might lack (knowledge of how to express) elsewhere in her life, and that's where I connect with her. It's romantic, which is what I think the GP likes, and it's inspirational. It's wish fulfillment for me, and I'm projecting because we just so happen to like the same things. She's as loyal as I am, and I can get to experience her allegiance to her feelings because I know that elsewhere, in my own life. It's more of what I love. People think they like Lana because aw, she's so relatable but still kind of pipe dreamy about it -- but she wouldn't be if she didn't do what she does without conviction. Like we all do. She puts her life into music, which all people can relate to, and then her aesthetic is the make-or-break in the making of a fan, if that makes sense. That was a mouthful, and kind of soppy and messy and I really could write an essay on this shit, I could, but idc.

Y&B.

What's this?

I'm finna redo this shit since we now have like 3x the songs we did in March of 2013... If your life was a TV show, this would be the theme song: Birds Of A Feather (um quirky) Will you ever get to heaven?: Disco Song you dance to at your wedding: Sad Girl (oh but that'd be sexy though) This song contains the name of your first-born: A Star For Nick (WHAT THE FUCK ) Song played at your funeral: St. Tropez (y'all betta jive when my ass is dead and gone tbh) What do you want right now?: Heavy Hitter (like i don't do drugs but i could do with a cigarette rn so #werk) Song that describes your sex life: Ghetto Baby (dare i ask what this entails...) How will you die?: Back To Tha Basics (again, dare i ask?) Your life motto: Junky Pride (again i don't do drugs but i mean okay #werk) What do you look for in a girl?: Crooked Cop (omg well sgt clemets is one of my fav rumble roses characters so i guess) Song that plays in your head when you see someone attractive: Off To The Races :usrs: What people think of you: Paradise Where will you live?: Boarding School (but okay tho) What is your vice?: Lucky Ones (lucky strike? uhn but sis i smoke vogues) What is the most important thing in your life?: Lolita (THE ACCURACY ) Who do you look up to?: Hot Hot Hot (hot ppl _are_ important to me so what can i say) ... This was messy.

such a good interview <3 I'm so happy she's moving in the right direction, or seems to be anyway

Okay, so the Big Eyes instrumental still slays me within an inch of my life, but I'm not feeling I Can Fly as much. It has better lyrics, but...

And there's (mid-)July again. This bitch! EDIT: It's "midsummer", not "the summer". In the first verse, anyway.

holy shit yes edit: like tbh the writing is nothing to write home about (lel) but the sounddddd my god i am so ready for music to watch boys to
