"Fuck sueing a hat!"

There's some sort of meta tangent here related to Prince covering "Creep" and then demanding the video be taken down and Radiohead demanding it stay up.

trying to work out which direction wire were punching elastica is giving me a headache. i guess they were never outright moralisers like radiohead and never pretended to be anything other than aloof assholes so it feels less ridiculous

oh the prince creep cover is about 637473x better than the original, yorke had that one right

The Hollies have never sued Radiohead btw.

thom yorke is a creep and a loser

imo the best defense against 100% would be "come on, for a quarter of the song I'm chanting Neil Young lyrics over something that sounds like the Locomotion"

*sudden knocking on courtroom door*

darn fake news

haha!

it was me, I sued her

my feelings on this matter have been complicated by the fact that Radiohead played a concert last year at a Tel Aviv concert venue that was built at the site of the ruins of a Palestinian village.

Can't we just jail Radiohead

In a twist, I heard that Radiohead is being sussudioed by Phil Collins.

Ya can't dancer!

It's a crazy story because Collins didn't actually sue Radiohead. It involves Collins being the witness to Radiohead intentionally stealing a song from another band — laughing and bragging that they'd get away with it. Collins stayed quiet for a number of years and then finally turned them in — by inviting them to a concert singing Against All Odds, which he dedicated to them during that performance while shining a spotlight on them. Immediately after he finished singing they were all arrested for plagiarism.

taken to its logical conclusion, lol

:D

I vaguely remember Greenwood claiming Radiohead took everything from the Pixies.

Phil Collins once wrote a song about saving someone from drowning. And that person grew up to be Radiohead!

...and then they stole Phil's third wife!

she's doing cherry ("my cherries and wine, rosemary and thyme") into a scarborough fair cover. kicking myself for not going to see her this week

new board description

which, "thanks I hate it" or the cover

thanks I hate it

She's pulling unreleased stuff out from the vaults too; Serial Killer is the best of those i think, the Reddit Lana page are obsessed with that one it seems.

on youtube or where?

I've already heard rumours over on Popjustice that she's aiming to get her next album out by summer. I love how prolific she is, especially as the quality doesn't seem to be suffering at all.

Can I get a hell yeah for White Mustang? Great song.

yeah it's real good.

this recent ish interview for lust is life is nice tho the interviewer's a tad pedestrian, but it gives insight into lana's head space this album

No posts about the man trying to kidnap her outside a concert huh?

Well, just for the record for future readers: in February 2018 someone tried and failed to kidnap her: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2018/feb/04/man-arrested-florida-alleged-plot-kidnap-lana-del-rey I think it was on the same day as the superbowl.

i'm not surprised she's a stalker target; glamorous, talented, mysterious; I saw her live two years ago and I don't know that I've seen that kind of fevered devotion from a fanbase since Morrissey's first US tour in the early 90's.

I feel like she's getting the credit she deserves now critically; is she? not sure. I don't know. she has a very wide fanbase; LGBT fans, young girls, regular cis men like me. Everything she does kind of surprises me even if none of it strays hugely from a prescribed template. Gaga is probably the only contemporary of hers that dabbles in the same areas; I like Lana's music more though.

Also this is good forever

I can't believe you guys don't like Tomorrow Never Came, that's one of the earwormiest things she's ever recorded.

lmao I'm not really wild about that bit but I do think they sound nice together. the back stretch of the album has some of her best songs

You'd think I'm a creep
But now I'm singing with Thom

I get it -- it's breaking down the fourth wall in a big way. But it works for a few reasons. First, hanging with famous cats is so (old) Hollywood -- it feels very appropriate to LDR's ethos. It's also perfectly in keeping with her approach to lyrics, which remain this unique combination of woozy pathos, classic romantic imagery ("Roses out in your treehouse") and quirky hipster lingo (faces making her want to party and whatnot). I would also add: this kind of thing is something John and Yoko did a lot in their own work, which squares the circle a bit.

Generally, tho: it's exactly the kind of courageous-to-the-point-of-being-ridiculous-while-also-being-unexpected-ness I look for from her.

im not that familiar with her work but that john/yoko/sean verse absolutely rules imo, for all the reasons stated above

In the interview I posted Lana talks about stalkers as well

newest record is probably my favourite over-all now. "God Bless America", "White Mustang", "Cherry" and "In my Feelings" are some of his strongest work to date

her* my bad

all I wanna do is get high at the beach

Oops "by the beach"

overall like it but i'm still boggling at the decision "you know, one song with A$AP Rocky just isn't enough, we need two to take this album to the next level"

the thing about being stalked is that by its very nature it is risky to talk about it in public, lest that prompt further contact

ultraviolence still her best record imo

But could a person as good intentioned as I not perhaps with my presence bring attention to the fact that something should change and that a singer with a loving energy can help shift the energetic vibration of a location for the higher good even if it’s just for a minute?

probably not her finest hour tbh.
