I guess FB chatting with Axl Rose or something.

The guy who brought you the Autotune the News and the Bed Intruder Song covers "Video Games" -- and holy crap, it kinda fails to suck!

i don't think that's very good.

― goole, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 21:44 (1 year ago) Permalink

Didn't say it was very good, but I was expecting something hideously unlistenable, and it isn't that. It also makes clear to me that the miserableisms Del Rey uses to mask her lack of singing technique are pretty much what makes me not like the original, not the hype or the back story.

in that photo with Axl Rose, she looks a little like... a young axl rose

it's amazing how this thread starts with everyone championing LDR like there's no tomorrow and ends with everyone saying she sucks shit worse than Rebecca Black.

― Poliopolice, Wednesday, 6 June 2012 22:17 (1 year ago) Permalink

She seems legit crazy...and I love that about her.

That is a pretty great video, good choice of single too. Agree that her craziness is very appealing.

― Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 27 June 2012 16:08 (11 months ago) Permalink

the full version is up... i quite like the video but she's intolerable. chorus melody is the most bland, generic thing ive ever heard. completely uninspired it sounds like she found the hook in lady gagas 'paparazzi'. not the mention the pseudo-insightful-boringly-ironic-lyrics

"Money is the anthem
Of success
So before we go out
What's your address?

I'm your national anthem
God, you're so handsome
Take me to the Hamptons
Bugatti Veyron"

ewwww

What is she hanging from?

Mississippi in the middle of a dry spell
Jimmy Rodgers on the Victrola up high
Mama's dancin' with baby on her shoulder
The sun is settin' like molasses in the sky
The boy could sing, knew how to move ev'rything
Always wanting more, he'd leave you longing for
Black velvet and that little boy smile
Black velvet with that slow southern style
A new religion that'll bring her to your knees
Black velvet if you please

Remember when artists used to release ep's? That's what "The Paradise Edition" could've been, but nope...gotta sell the WHOLE ALBUM again.

New Songs on the Born To Die: The Paradise Edition

Ride
American
Cola
Body Electric
Blue Velvet
Gods and Monsters
Yayo
Bel Air

Could care less about LDR, but yeah, this practice drives me fucking bonkers. Especially when they make all of the new tracks 'Album Only' on iTunes, so you can't even pick and choose the new tracks that way.

man that H&M commercial. I saw that the other day. hard to believe someone thought her "David Lynch lite" schtick was TOO SUBTLE so they had her sing Blue Velvet in a red room with a little person.

Nine songs wouldn't even have been an EP, but a full new LP.

Should've been part of an LDR Taschen coffee-table book.

if your pussy tastes like Pespi cola, you may want to get to a doctor immediately and get your insulin levels checked

"You can be my full-time, daddy, white and gold" sounds so much better than "I love you 'till the end of time, and I want you to be the one I share my life with".
Thank you mom for being amazed by Lizzy Grant and for listening her songs 24/7 and for introducing me into this wonderful-vintage life called Lana del Rey
