CHATEAU MARMONT

The only artist in history to impact me as greatly as Lana has, maybe more so. Discovering Twin Peaks during my first year of university was life changing. His work has had a huge impact on my creativity, and his outlook on life is greatly inspiring. What a unique and incredible soul he had, and his art is the greatest to ever be captured on film. No one saw the world like he did and we are so lucky to have witnessed some of the wildness that his mind had to offer. He managed to delve into the darkest parts of the human soul in the most thrilling ways, while always making sure that the humour and the light stayed just as prominent and powerful as the evil that surrounds us. Rest in peace you magical man, thank you for everything you've given the world. <3 

his voice was also on the deluxe version of Father John Misty's album Chloë and the Next 20th Century, on which Lana sang a cover version of Buddy's Rendezvous

Not only he was a brilliant filmmaker, he was also amazing musician. Earlier today I listened to his collaboration with Lykke Li and this song has been one of my favorite songs for five years now. His signature beautiful melancholic dreamy vibe had inspired many musicians, like Lana.

Larry Jackson speaks about getting Lana Del Rey on SNL & signing her to Interscope! 
 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7F3Xomh64jZibxbLuOhXuw?si=ca2f46102e8c4f75
 
Larry speaks about A&R and how amazing Lana Del Rey is! he helped sign her to Interscope and get her the SNL deal. calls her initially as "ah Lizzy" 
Larry and his pal John Ehmann were fired from SONY Music. John Ehmann said Larry should listen to a demo called "Diet Mtn Dew" by an artist named Lana, who Sony just passed on.  
Larry loved it! 
says he met Lana 2 months after he himself moved to Los Angeles. she came in looking like she had walked off the set of the BTD album cover! Lol. he was enthralled by her. 
Says the night before she signed w/Interscope, she got a deal from SONY UK for 2 times as much money, and she said No! and signed the next day with Interscope !!!! (our queen) 
Larrys says lana means so much to him and Interscope. He says at that point he was willing to help her do anything to help her artistic vision come to life (especially understanding that 2 times amount Sony offered was a big deal to a artist trying to make ends meet) 
He says she told him she wanted to be "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and he was sold! Ed/Ben/Lana signed officially and INterescope helped them make BTD with Emile Haynie and Justin Parker. 
BTD cost only $183,000. 
says he got an idea to write a letter to Jimmy Iovine to send to Lorne Michael of SNL about getting Lana on. 
Discussed how being an A&R is about believing in the vision when no one else does. Says the Brian Williams article was very hurtful to him and to lana (bc at the time Brian Williams was a respected journalist - which is funny now because he got fired and lost journalistic integrity for fabricating a story about jumping out of a plane in the Iraq war in 2003 _ LOL did "did anyone else die for you") 
 
Larry talks a bit more about how she and Chief Keef at such important musical figures who have shaped music and provided a breath of fresh air to a time of stagnant music. 
 
Larry says he felt extremely motivated after SNL and so did Lana. 
 

My takeaway from her speech isn’t that she’s “acting like” she was a nobody, making dud albums before meeting Jack. The night was about celebrating Jack and his work, and she shared personal insight into how he has influenced her both personally and professionally. It’s not a stretch to say he gave her a major confidence boost and injected her career with the energy it needed. Lust for Life marked a turning point with critics, but their collaboration on NFR elevated her career to an entirely new level. I think it’s great that she’s had longstanding creative relationships with different producers over time. Rick was obviously a major influence, and Jack, too, has left a significant mark. As she continues to evolve, I’m sure there will be more collaborators who help her bring her stories to life. 

Lol, he’s nowhere near being the producer of the decade

she will serve again 

Lana Del Rey is set to present Jack Antonoff with the Producer of the Decade award at the the 8th annual Variety Hitmakers event taking place this Saturday, December 7th in Los Angeles, California.
Jack Antonoff has worked with Lana on several of her projects including Norman fucking Rockwell, Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass, Chemtrails Over the Country Club, Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, as well as her upcoming album The Right Person Will Stay. Lana Del Rey was honoured with the "Artist of the Decade" award at the 5th annual Variety Hitmakers event in 2021.

Does this mean that this fucking tired 13 year war is finally about to end or is about to get worse? I mean, Assad was the reason it started, right?
 
Also it's wild that we have Assad emoji here

I love the photos so much - very 60s, very on brand with Milan as a fashion capital in the midcentury.
 
The interview is also full of so much insight and it’s interesting to see her psyche shift with her own geography. She reminds me of Joan Didion in that way; so much of what they both write is coloured by the surrounding landscape.
 
I like the idea of Lana’s “eras” being classified according to geography. I think what we, at this point in time, might call her “Golden Age” is the period during which she released those California albums. She flirted with the heartland a little bit on Chemtrails and Blue Banisters, almost inching towards it, but never quite getting there. Ocean Blvd, to me, transcended its geography and even returned to California at times. It now appears that this upcoming record—whether its final title will be Lasso or not—will mark a more pronounced geographical shift to her new home in the South and will usher in a new way of operating that is characteristic of the region. 

chappell roan they could never make me care about your music

I didn't really feel Eternal Sunshine tbh, I love her previous work more but since she is a big major artist she definitely should've got the nom but I feel like she's focusing more on Wicked's campaign rather than Eternal Sunshine's campaign but she also got many other nominations so that will do

I want Grammys to change the Best New Artist title to Best Breakthrough because Sabrina and Raye have been around for a decade

dua didn't deserve to be nominated this year let's be honest
