    I love Lana Del Rey because her image is carefully constructed with attention to extreme detail. This way, the poetry of blending our ideas about religion, sex, nationalism, relationships, love, self-image, self-consciousness, Lana-Del-Rey consciousness..... really feels so helpful. Mostly impressed that Elizabeth Grant is not literally insane. She is a genius though. She makes me realize how messed up and post-structural the world is and shows me how to be myself and how to be okay with realizing that in life, there is no guarantee that you will ever be able to understand everything. She is like literally an angel of philosophy.

  1. Thank you for posting this. It's important to be aware of things like this. It's just sad and scary, and actually quite fascinating, how deeply psychological racism, xenophobia, and nationalism can be. It's important to remember that this man is probably not a bad person, as he must not be reasonably and rationally able to be normal. He must have some cognitive disability that is preventing him from being normal. And it's also important to be real and call this what it really is: abnormal. It's not necessarily evil. It's primal, psychological. Remembering that is the only way to maintain a sense of inner peace that can allow us to deal with this terrible situation.

    aah wow that geidi primes froot picture is so cool. i've only listened to geidi primes and visions and still can't listen to halfaxa yet because i feel like i haven't digested geidi primes enough yet. good luck with this though!
  5. ok first of all everyone please just be cautious with the gaga comparisons because lana is a completely different artist in so many ways. lana would never sing anything off of arptop because she doesn't play the role of postmodern pop star as gaga does. i love artpop and ultraviolence equally but they are completely different in terms of the story they tell. second of all, the video to me was pretty pointless. the orange is obviously referring to a clockwork orange, but i don't see any depth or even any poetry in the video. this video does remind me of the video for the edge of glory, just because it's pointless (not because gaga and lana should be compared subjectively) but i just can not get anything intellectual out of this video.
  6. this is amazing. don't have time to read at the moment but this is much appreciated!
  7. sorry i didn't understand what this was and i don't know how to delete my post
  8. That's all that I have or That's all that I am.
  9. yeah i get what you're saying. the three songs so far do have their own unique sounds, but i think they still have a similar sound overall. i like how it's guitar driven instead of hip-hop-beat driven like born to die was. i feel like this is the album she wanted to make before born to die, but born to die was her commercial release in a way. i don't know if that makes sense, but i'm excited to hear the whole album. i also think i will really appreciate how she described the album as a blend between east coast and west coast, because i've lived on both coasts, and i totally get how you can feel both of them in her new songs. angels forever and the paradise songs are examples of total west coast feel, but west coast (song) is a perfect hybrid of the two. i think west coast in the context of the album is also going to sound a lot better, and along with ultraviolence (song), it will help to tell the overall story of the album. i don't think her released songs are meant to be singles. i think they're meant to be heard in the context of an album. except for ride. and video games. and born to die. those three are just fine on their own. this has become a rant. i've had too much coffee and too little sleep so i'm ranting. now i'm ranting about ranting. sorry. i'm just excited for the album!
  10. i think that a theme of the upcoming album could be the color spectrum. ultraviolet light, shades of colors- we see these concepts in black beauty. the color spectrum is a great theme and it goes so well with the black and white imagery.
  11. its funny how thats not even directly what she's about, so much of who she is involves that sense of her being a freedom fighter. its cool how it worked out because in my opinion, thats not the initial intent of her music
