  1. TRENCH liked a post in a topic by graham4anything in Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth criticizes Lana in memoir   
    The lawyers / editors seemingly must have in their better judgement, made Kim remove the "off" comment and it is not in the book. It was an amazing naïve statement for Kim to make.
    But you know what, it shows how popular Lana is- Kim created this whole controversy so she hoped Lana's fans would buy the book and even if Lana's fans don't, Kim had hoped the controversy would
    get others to hear about the book and they would buy it.
     
    That is why all these older artists from decades ago are gravitating to Lana, and also why brand new artists namecheck Lana (though in cases like Sam Smith and Lorde, after they hit fame themselves, they seem to forget how much they got from Lana). Without Lana, neither of the two would even have made a record.
     
    But when one is unique like Lana is, everyone wants to be in her world.
    Lana is so magnanimous, watch her offer Kim an opening slot on her tour at some point.

    His work on BTD represents a solid 90% of his entire portfolio (past, present and future), so...

    Just wanted to share this info from yet another great Emile interview that he tweeted about yesterday. Taken from an interview with Tidal. com http://read.tidalhifi.com/article/album-of-the-week-emile-haynie/
     
    Who has been one of your favorite artists to work with?
    Lana is one of my favorites. She’s such a special friend to me and we just get each other.
    Andrew Wyatt from Miike Snow was a massive contributor to my album and is one of my favorite people to work with as well. We’re friends first. He knew what every lyric meant the second I showed them to him because we talk about this kind of stuff naturally. On top of that he is incredibly talented. His background vocals are on so many of the tunes and exactly the kind of sound I’ve had in my head for years.
    What of your past work are you most proud of?
    I love Lana’s first album. I love some of the stuff I did with Kid Cudi on his first couple projects. I love working with Eminem. Him and his crew in Detroit were such a huge part of the beginning of my career, I’m super proud to be a part of his albums these days.

    Ahh I see. Yeah one of the girls from work has taken a stance not to see it as she believes it promotes domestic abuse.
  22. TRENCH liked a post in a topic by graham4anything in Lana's staying power   
    Lana has done something I can't recall any female singer has ever done, and I have been listening to music since the early 1960s.
    What female artist in history has written so much and sung so much?
    Aretha has songs written for her.
    Petula Clark sang other peoples songs.
    Mama Cass-sang others
    Janis Joplin- sang others (Me and Bobby McGee was written by Kris Kristofferson).
    others have burnt out or died or have one or two albums, but then go years of nothing.
     
     
    Anyone who knew of her older songs then and now, it is clear they are her words, her ideas, her thoughts and while others may change a word, tidy up a lyric, I would say 90% is hers.
    Much like Leonard Cohen, Lana is a poet first, a writer, a visual artist.
    Much like Brian Wilson, the recording studio is more important than putting on a show. Old school. Singing direct to audience. One doesn't need bells and whistles.
    The legendary artists of all time didn't do anything but stand at the microphone and sing.
    Edith Piaf, Sinatra, Orbison, the Beatles(who also didn't do very many shows), Brian Wilson, Elton basically at the piano.
     
    Speaking of Elton, Elton only does the music, Bernie the words. Lana does words and music.
     
    I think like Elton, like Brian Wilson, if Lana wants to, she can be around for 60 years and her music will live on.
    I don't think it is an exaggeration to think that when the time comes, Lana will be in the Hall of Fame.
    (If only she could get to induct Lou Reed).
     
    And Lana is doing it her own way. She is not playing the normal game.  What are there about 300 different songs already, most unreleased, something a Bruce Springsteen or the Grateful Dead did,
    all these rarieties. (We are lucky to have them on youtube). And not a bad one in the bunch.
     
    She already has 3 Top 10 albums. (check the chart records, one can count the relatively few female singers on the US album charts that have had 3 Top 10 albums, and Honeymoon will be the 4th.
    And without  a real hit single either nor looking for any radio airplay (and not needing it)..
     
    I am looking forward to Honeymoon, and anything else released. Do wish the Brian Wilson duet had happened, that would have been a good grammy entry next year, but others will come.
     
    If this was 1967-8-9, Lana would have had 10 number one songs on stations like WABC, New York and KHJ California.
     
    As said above, the Hall of Fame in a couple of decades, the Songwriting Hall of fame, etc.
    And it wouldn't surprise me if there will be an Oscar for producing a short film. (An Oscar is an Oscar, no matter what category).

  24. TRENCH liked a post in a topic by LittleFool in Honeymoon - Pre-Release and Discussion Thread   
    I don't know if I'm reading too into it, but all these painting references in her photos (the filter on her last photo, her new IG icon, etc) I really hope it's a part of a larger visual vision. Can't wait to find out.
  25. TRENCH liked a post in a topic by whitman in Kim Gordon of Sonic Youth criticizes Lana in memoir   
    She just called Lana's music 'boring' in a Billlboard interview:
     
    "With Lana Del Rey, it's all wondering what her persona is. She's interesting because she uses self-destruction as the next step in sexuality and self-branding. I just think her music is kind of boring."
     
    But this particularly quote it's quite interesting: 
     
    "And I didn't want to write about Courtney; that was something my editor was interested in".
     
    Which leads us to the very suspicious differences between Pitchfork's quote and the one published on the book. Adding her attitude towards all this ( tweeting stuff just for the show of attention) and the media coverage she got after this I'm pretty sure this is her way to sell books.
