    I have to choose just one? :uh:

     

    I would kill the sour milk.

    I would spend an enchanting night in Susan Boyle's pants.

    I would marry the used tampon because I imagine there's not a lot of commitment there and I could probably just flush it and go on with my life. Come on, HDB :usrs:

     

    Two hot Nazis, one ugly but nice and charitable fella :creep:

    For a birdbrain, he makes a decent point.

     

    "I've got my headdress on tonight, dancing in the desert in the pale firelight..." - Lana Del RaciallyInsensitive

    :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao: :lmao:

     

    "Done my hair up real big, tribal king style. I know if I hunt, won't go hungry tonight..." - Lana Del RaciallyInsensitive

     

    :teehee:

     

    I really want to continue this but don't want to be racially insensitive myself :eek:

    I know it was discussed more than a month ago but if you wouldn't mind I'd like to briefly touch on the un-feminist lyrics. As someone who's been in what I now realise were probably unhealthy relationships, albeit exhilarating, I really identify with a lot of what Lana's saying. But just briefly, I in no way mean to diminish or criticise your opinions by saying stuff like "you guys just don't know"; I don't know your lives or your struggles and I'm not prepared to make those judgements so this is merely my experience.

     

    I can see how on the surface a what of her lyrical content seems to be against positive feminist ideals, but when I was in those relationships the power balance felt very natural and like feminism wasn't apart of anything. I was happy to let the men in my life lead me because they made me feel safe and there was a lot of love there. I knew how hard my heart beat for them and I could feel that in them too. For me, to love someone that much in a i-can-hardly-breathe-when-we're-not-together way made me feel so alive. I'm guilty of doing a lot of things I shouldn't have done with them but I was so free. So when they held me a little rough or something similar it didn't matter because it felt like we belonged. I can see why things like that from another perspective may have seemed off and like I was being controlled or smothered but that's not how it felt.

     

    I was going to write a little more but I don't want to just bombard this thread with what is probably not interesting content.

     

    I feel the same way about my cat!

     

     

    Really insightful post, thanks :D

    I think you are reading waaay too much into all of this. My friend is a songwriter, and while he writes from experience, he also writes from the experiences of those around him, but makes them personal. If someone who didn't know him read them, they would assume it's all about him... he's inspired by friends, movies (and Lana is so inpired by film noir), news reports, books.. LIFE, just not always his.

     

    Ruining tha fun :what:

     

    Isn't Radio about him? Just thought that since it was the last song she wrote before releaseing BtD. And I think she said that it had to do with people liking her 'cause she was playing on the radio. Anyways, she said she'll always love that past love of hers, so Barrie should know that and just decided that it doesn't really do anything or something like that.

     

    Only MAYBE, because it's about a man coming back into her life. When would she have met a Scottish guy in a shitty band before going to festivals and such once she was famous?

     

     

    Try this on for size for "Radio": Mike Mizrahi, now married, strayed back to her after seeing her success with "Video Games" because he's an asshole who loves her success and they had a shameless affair but she loved him so much and she doesn't give a fuck so she didn't really care that he was married.

     

    Because she was born to be the other woman.

     

    And she knows his wife, she wouldn't mind.

    LDRakaLG is an Autumn/Fall album to me. I began listening to it the autumn after Video Games blew up; it was constantly on repeat during the long commutes from home to campus, as I studied for my courses, as I daydreamed... :3 The autumn scenery and the oranges and reds and crunchy leaves are now inseparable from LDRakaLG. I think the ambiance of the album perfectly suits the autumn weather and scenery and fuzzy sweaters. :3 I used to sneak into one of the colleges in the corner of campus on the weekends and go to this gorgeous large room with an entire wall of windows, top to bottom. There was this stunning view of the autumn trees and the swirling leaves; it was remarkably picturesque and it made me happy and I'd select Kill Kill and hit play and settle down on my studies :3

     

    This is really interesting to me because I think AKA perfectly matches up with my surroundings--incidentally, not beautiful autumn trees, but desert. I'm surrounded on all sides by just huge expanses of desert mountains and every day in summer I'd go walking through them right as the sun started going down. I'd listen to almost exclusively Lana, and all of AKA--particularly the first half--just really fit the scenery. I guess my setting is very "Americana"--small town, lots of trailers, tiny little shops, a lot of Native American influence. I don't know, I just thought it was interesting how our surroundings can kind of affect our perspective like that. I don't like the desert much, but I think if I were to make music and vintage videos like Lana, it would be a prominent theme.

     

    And I have to wonder what sort of image people who live in the city get with that album, especially "Queen of the Gas Station"--that song is so fitting to my region, in my mind.
