I beg everyone- please please please- WRITE THE ENTIRE NAME OUT and no initials I want to see the entire name on the charts (any of them) “Hope is a Dangerous Thing for a Woman Like Me to Have- but I Have It” (formerly known as ‘Sylvia’)

COACHELLA the moment where everything one thinks goes topsy turvy the only amazement is that some still either don't get it or the moment is so scary they deny how great and potent is.

trouble is, the rappers surprise drop a mix tape which is beyond the control as is the possibility of some other singer dying or some controversy from some other artist It would be nice to have a 3rd #1 album but I figure #2 or #3 and have a #1 alternative, #1 rock, and #1 at some point Vinyl

#1 Strangers on a Train- Robert Walker, Farley Granger, Ruth Roman, Pat Hitchcock, Marion Lorne-Alfred Hitchcock directed #2 Mulholland Drive David Lynch's best #3 Show Boat- Howard Keel, Ava Gardner, etc. #4 Obsession- Brian DePalma's homage/copy of Vertigo Cliff Robertson, Genevieve Bujold, legendary very early performance by John Lithgow #5 Downfall- Bruno Ganz as Hitler in the bunker the last days (how about a sequel with Bruno as DT(Indiv.1) #6 Wuthering Heights- Laurence Olivier, David Niven #7 12 Angry Men- Henry Fonda #8 Grapes of Wrath- Henry Fonda #9 Double Indemnity-Barbara Stanwyck & Fred McMurray #10 Gran Torino- Eastwood #11 White Christmas- Bing, Danny, Rosemary, Vera-Ellen #12 Cape Fear- Robert Mitchum, first version #13 Big Sleep- Robert Mitchum #14 Maltese Falcon- Bogart #15 Apocolypse Now Brando and Martin Sheen #16 Duel- early Steven Spielberg #17 Berlin Alexanderplatz Fassbinder #18 Rope- Alfred Hitchcock Farley Granger #19 Marathon Man- Laurence Olivier Is it safe? #20 Blue Velvet David Lynch edit to add- #20B Bridges of Madison Country- Meryl, Clint (if one asked me, this goes well with the new "Mule" and Bridges is perhaps my favorite love story tearjerker, and perhaps the only one that thinks about what about tomorrow (and as we know- tomorrow never comes) or does it?

UPDATED DEC.22, 2018- Born to Die is Billboard's #32 ROCK album of the year 2018 nearly 7 years after release and #19 on the current Alternative Album top 25 chart total 220 weeks.

President Obama is #1 on the ITUNES chart today as part of Lin Manuel Miranda's Hamilton - ONE LAST TIME (44 REMIX) Friday, December 21 2018, 11:18 am pacific time (2:18pm NYC time) How cool is that. President Obama has a #1 song.

Summertime Sadness 2:28 to 3:28

Why? Some would say Joe Manchin is far more powerful now, and he won. Why Beto? What makes one think he could win South Carolina, Florida, Arizona, Colorado? (let alone his own state of Texas). (one thing is for sure Bernie can't win and 87% of the nation is against him now. (note- I am not wanting Manchin as the candidate, but he actually won. I don't even think at this point Beto would win NY California Florida or Texas. So where are the electoral votes coming from? And they should get rid of 100% of any caucus in the Democratic party. Caucus are not democratic. A bunch of rude people shouting at other people. It's quite rude. Someone like Nancy Pelosi is needed. Someone who knows how to win. Like she did in 2020 winning 41 seats. One of the greatest Americans ever.

13 days and counting Will anything remain in 13 days or will INDIVIDUAL #1 end everything before the Republicans lose the house, and the Democratic party takes the house

I myself picture the whole song being about President Obama, (and the like being a like a post like a thumbs up, but even if one takes the first part is not, but the second to end of song is then the bridge especially with the orgasmic lyrics (one could also picture it being Lin Manuel Miranda or a remake could picture Alexandria Ocasio Cortez and Michelle Obama too) Everybody wants to go fast but they can't compare I don't really want the rest, only you can take me there I don't even know what I'm saying but I'm praying for you but anyway that minute regardless of meaning is one of the most perfect greatest minute of a song ever. and this topic is not about politics, but the greatest one minute of music in an entire song ============================================================================================== ============================================================================================== Slightly off topic (in fact perhaps totally- this paragraph struck me as 100% Lana-esque in her earlier days especially the crap Lana took from the hostiles and even as Lana's career progressed, and people (here) sometimes abuse Lana by saying she couldn't have this shit or that shit- https://www.newyorker.com/culture/culture-desk/the-enduring-incandescent-power-of-kate-bush from a newyorker article on Kate Bush © M Talbot) One secret of Bush’s artistry is that she has never feared the ludicrous—she tries things that other musicians would be too careful or cool to go near. That was apparent from the very first lines of “Wuthering Heights”—“Out on the wiley, windy moors / we’d roll and fall in green / You had a temper like my jealousy / too hot, too greedy.” When she wrote that song, she hadn’t yet read the Emily Brontë novel; she’d only caught the end of a TV adaptation. But of course she got the essence of the book, sucked it in, and transmogrified it in her teen-aged soul, and she knew how to keen those lyrics like a ghost ceaselessly yearning. and this paragraph too- Thomson contends that, at a time when musical camps were more fiercely armored than they are now (remember when people had to choose, absurdly, between punk and disco?), Bush got a bad rap from some music journalists for being a dreamy middle-class girl rather than an angry working-class bloke. There was grumbling about her tweeness, her witchy, unapologetic femininity. “Most of her records,” the jazz critic Richard Cook, writing about Bush in Sounds magazine, complained, “smell of tarot cards, kitchen curtains and lavender pillows.” That said, John Lydon—a.k.a. Johnny Rotten—loved her music. In a BBC documentary about Bush, from 2014, he allows that “a lot of my friends at the time couldn’t bear” Bush’s high-pitched, passionate warbling on “Wuthering Heights” and other early songs. “They just thought it was too much”—and, indeed, Bush is the high priestess of too much. “But that,” Lydon said, “was really what drew me in.” ================================================================================================================================== --------------------------------------end of the quotes, back to comments- and one could marvel at the many one minute Kate (WOW, Wuthering, etc.) & John had in their songs, but this is about Lana. (how about a trio of Lana/Kate/John Lydon.) (someday all 3 will be in the hall of fame, yet so far, only the male is, and he didn't even want it)

doing cameos in the one day Lana Del Rey inspired by Lana Del Rey continuous series Lana Del Rey's AKA Lana Del Rey's Sirens Lana Del Rey's Born to Die Lana Del Rey's Paradise Lana Del Rey's Ultraviolence Lana Del Rey's Honeymoon Lana Del Rey's Norman Fucking R.... etc. written produced directed by Lana Del Rey, Elizabeth Grant, Lizzy Grant, Chuck Grant, and others and then the Stage production (and then the animated movies of the original...

This topic is specific for the perfect one minute of song from songs that Lana sang. (this does NOT mean screams and moans, that is for a different topic, though songs she moans, hums, sighs, grunts, growls, etc are part of the topic). among many RIDE- from approx 3minutes in to 4 minutes, can any song be more perfect? (time doesn't include the beg. monologue AMERICAN- (the Barack Obama inspired) approx. 2:29 to 3:29 although a case could be made for .39 to 1:39 or 128-228 WEST COAST- the last minute (although a case could be made for the minute earlier in the song) to be continued VENICE BEACH- SHADES OF COOL- PRETTY WHEN I CRY- COACHELLA- tbc

Why? What makes Beto better than Stacey or Andrew? (both of whom actually won, without the now proven funny stuff. Many people say Beto tanked on purpose because he didn't want to win, which enables more theft and bad judges like the one that is attempting to kill millions by taking away their insurance. The Republicans will hit Beto with everything and he himself doesn't know if he wants to run and Beto fans seemingly never answer the question WHY? in a way the Useful Idiot Bernie couldn't answer any questions but acts like Grandpa Simpson while pushing his wife off the stage. #MichelleObama4Ever I would love it if Lin Manuel Miranda ran for President or VP

Dec.19, 2018 How do you like the judge in the Flynn (aka traitor Flynn ) going after him...oops not what Flynn had thought. Even trump didn't expect what is coming. of course, trump has friends pretending to be Democratic liberals (none of the following would even know how to spell a liberal let alone be one- all refered to as Useful Idiots. for example- Paul (I lament that politics is broken), Rand Paul (anything for himself), Bernie Useful Idiot Never achieved anything but wrote fantasies about abusing women, and stalking the pope at a stage door), Mitch McConnell. the crime bill outcome that will happen by these republicans is only for the elite whites (and totally against what the Democratic liberals wanted out of it), and of course, Useful idiot Bernie doesn't consider any minority or woman "working class" (yet expects the public to fawn over him and his anti-humaneTG ). Where are your taxes Bernie? What are you hiding and where did you hide it. Collins in Maine feigns concern but 99% of the time votes with the conservatives the Mobster in chief also wants to get rid of any primary in South Carolina(along with the coordinated plans from the Republican governors, all rats, all mobsters it would not surprise me The attacks against Andrew Gillum and Stacey Abrams prove it. the attempts by the cult of personality named trump is mindboggling. (and add Musk to the idiot pile... (has anyone actually heard him talk? What grade is he in???) tbc

to repeat myself (again and I will continue to repeat this)- Only after hearing "How to Disappear" is it evident how the connection to "Swan Song" and "Coachella" truly is "The world could change in just a day....if you go away...." like a loop starting stopping starting stopping repeating repeating reitterating retelling pleading asking us to hear (with (and I see others copying my words) it 100% being Lana Del Rey conversing with Ms. Grant aka Elizabeth aka the earlier Lizzy) aka the Chuck videos. One could make their own eps and hear it by starting with Swan Song for a verse or two going into How to Disappear, going to Coachella back and forth What could be easier to hear and see (and its heresy if one doesn't hear and see exactly that). It took hearing How to Disappear to give me 100% proof positive what I had already thought that Swan Song is about - LDR/EBG having that internal fight for the soul. Without Coachella there would be nothing. It is perhaps the single greatest moment of the life of "Lana Del Rey" and "Elizabeth Lizzy Grant"

I am so pissed off that I haven't commented the last few days What am I pissed off about?(AGAIN)??? you got it. The damn shrieks from the stans in the crowd completely ruined the two "supposedly" country songs. The whole show itself was not what I expected, I expected based on past shows that all the artists would round robin with each other, but almost none of that. I was totally underwhelmed by all the other artists and what a bore TS has become IMHO. Still worth the money for the 2 songs prior to the "supposedly" country songs But live, those 2 country songs- I could not hear the song as a song due to the bone chilling crowd yells and shrieks (and Jack might as well have been playing that fake air guitar Bush41 played with the asshole dirty trickster Atwater) because I could not make out any semblance of song Lana should have sang it acapella (but then those god damned audience shrieks would have spoiled that too. I no longer want any future live albums that have anything but NO audience noise in the background (or done real low). and I don't like to later go to youtube to attempt to hear what I missed, but guess what? I still have no clue on those two songs. Could be two of the greatest of all time, but those freaking god damned shrieks by the crowd ruined it. (and don't give me the Lana likes the crowd doing it.) If I wanted to hear primal screams, well, give me Yoko Ono in the 1960s. All we are saying is give Lana a chance to sing so we can perfectly hear the song/lyrics. And if we are talking Hank Sr. well, his lyrics are perhaps the saddest lyrics of all time. So the lyrics then don't mean happy, they mean anti-happy, don't they? (loved the other two songs live btw and hope the charity made a lot of money). At least she looked like she was having fun. (and none of the being pissed off has to do with her).

Duke Ellington, Bing Crosby, Ethel Ennis (and after watching White Christmas last night, how about Lana & Chuck doing the camped up version that Bing & Danny did in the movie of "Sisters"

Becoming- Michelle Obama (one of top five greatest living (and in her case most influential) people in the world imho) Most likely won't but only if it would be Becoming46

So what number do you think the album will debut at (keep in mind funny stuff seemed to happen this week (69UScents for an entire album)???and the new album200 is going under full audit. Reminds me of when rappers attempted to steal the #1 from Lana last time. Hope for 20 songs in the cycle NO extras.

I really like the loop repeating in Chuck's videos reminding people of how "history repeats itself" and how trump indeed without the cheesy moustache is being led/doing exactly what was done by the one who had the cheesy moustache and How to Disappear = Love (the song) in a growth pattern moving forward. (as does Venice Bitch and Mariners Apartment Complex) all with hints of earlier songs but in linear terms moving forward forever (in a time where "still is still moving") more Chuck please.

Message to the powers that be in the ALLY COALTION who are running the political event tomorrow night (held on a (PUKE) national day of mourning for George Herbert Walker Poppy Bush (VOMIT). Please remind people what a 100% horror George H W Bush was (as (it goes without saying) Ronald Reagan was during the pre-AIDS and then early days in the 1980-1992 Reagan/Bush era). and how it was ignored and a whole generation died In a week of total revisionism trying to suggest what a (NOT) man of integrity (he had none, he enlarged the dirty tricks of Nixon and the whisper southern strategy begun with Nixon, and claimed to be "out of the loop" (yeah, the man the CIA building is named after was almost never out of the loop excepting for a day or two while in minor surgery), (with the slime bag fixer James Shady Baker (who rubbed 41s toes and when 41 asked "where are we going" Baker replied "to heaven" So hopefully there are many speeches throughout the show (which is what it is about) about the lies the media has perpetrated the past days since George HW Bush died. (ever notice how many times over the last 40 years advance men ran around telling the world what "men of integrity" the Bush's and Gerald Ford were? Like barkers in a carnival or a ringer in a tv show prompting the audience to applaud. Because no one in the world ever thought they had integrity, so it has to be forced down the people's throats like poison gas from the death camps. the irony of the socks being given out is striking too. Do hope it is brought up about 100 times tonight. And don't forget- all the bathrooms are gender neutral.

this is a new post- And it almost still holds, except in 2018, my favorite song would be MacArthur Park (oops, I mean Mariners Apartment Complex (MAC) and Venice Bitch, which together are amazingly Jimmy Webb (songwriters Hall of Fame, and Elton John/Bernie Taupin Leonard Cohen and Paul Simon 100 out of 100 perfect. (though it took two (Elton & Bernie to equal ONE Lana Del Rey (I give Jack and Dan A. zero out of zero credit).After all as Dan A. said- it is 100% Lana after all.) Not to mention, this is now the sixth OPERA, yes OPERA Lana Del Rey is giving us Born to Die Paradise Ultraviolence Honeymoon Lust For Life Norman Fucking Rockwell (who was racist, misogynist and lived in a time where today 90% of the demographics were not happy with what went down in the 1950s). (note for posterity- prior to Lana Del Rey, my three favorite songs of all time were MacArthur Park, The Boxer and Elton's Someone saved my life tonight / The One and Pet Shop Being Boring. One thing Lana Del Rey has never been, in each and every song is Boring, not in life, not in stage, etc. (and a pox on anyone who thinks Lana Del Rey doesn't create OPERAS because in the definition of OPERA, it 100% applies as there is story, all moved forward by songs with music). One doesn't have to be a screamer to be either Opera or Rock. (and the Song Honeymoon is indeed Stairway to Heaven just as powerful and just as vital and "I'm crying by running on the treadmill" is a powerful one has to really listen to hear the meaning of it running in place (aka life itself going about ones life, while in pain(possibly) or having heard bad news and remaining to fight while others cry in their beer and give up (becoming suicidal or something). The last two and the new are about staying and fighting and no longer running away. (and if one using a Born to Die analogy, the videos of MARINERS APARTMENT COMPLEX & VENICE BEACH are now showing Lana herself (as opposed to the clips) with a wink/nod back. You know, it is almost like John Lewis' Elton John Christmas Message for Apple.(which is having a big back & forth all over the world on its meaning. (All I know is, every time I watch it (and having been an Elton fan since near the start of his career), is it brings tears of joy, fun (and seasons in the sun) both happy and sad (to realize that 50 years have now past and Elton is the age he is, and one day(hopefully not too soon) won't be here anymore. Where have you gone Lana Del Rey, a nation turns its lonely eyes to you. (nowhere, Lana is right here and will always be right here leading, not following.) Why in the world would one be negative?

Updated to now include the Nov, 24, 2018 chart Holding at 314 weeks Still on the Alternative Albums 25 chart in its 217 weeks (Hit #1) This week fell off the Rock Album charts soholds at 224 weeks Video Games now has 200 million youtube plays (though one wonders if this should not be much higher)

I'm serious here- nothing more rejuvenating than putting your toes/ feet in the water when you are there. Even if the temperature is in the teens, just stay for a few seconds/minute. The water temperature today is 53degrees Fahrenheit which is 11.7 degrees celsuius (Wednesday, Thursday Friday will be cold outside temps) (and don't forget to take a picture). You'll thank me. (it's legal by the way even if "THEY" try to tell you no).
