But anyway, we don't have to rehash the youtube comments section here.
The thing that struck me about the three Lizzie Grant songs I heard was how much they sorta harkened back to the early 2000s for me, sonically. I mean, Video Games, the way I'm hearing it now when it's fresh, sort of shimmers out of a timeless ethereal pool. Gramma, Yayo, and Kill Kill just really hit me the way they would have blended in well with what I was listening to back then (a lot of Dan the Automator-type, downtempo/pop shit, basically).

(that opinion being formed from just one listen though - I don't know exactly what I'm getting at with it)

The string arrangement is the secret weapon of Video Games, love it so much.

I found the album she recorded a couple of years ago under her real name, Lizzy Grant. I'll make it available here tonight when back from work, if people are interested.
Le Bateau Ivre - was this more than just the three songs I mentioned above?
― kkvgz, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 09:48 (twelve years ago) link
Also want to note that I'm beginning to get a troubling feeling that beyond all the songwriting and vocal tricks and cool collage videos, that I actually like this because I'm some kind of flippin' creepo perv or something.
― kkvgz, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 09:58 (twelve years ago) link
Yes, nearly 20 songs! No-one responded though and therefore I forgot about... If you're interested I'll hook you up tonight.

― kkvgz, Tuesday, 9 August 2011 11:03 (twelve years ago) link
IDGI. It just sounds like slowed down Mazzy Star with harp samples on it. It's just so... nothingy.
I dunno, maybe I'm not in the right place emotionally to be listening to music like this, but tired, sleep deprived, emotionally completely strung out... no. It's not hitting anything for me right now.
But I don't know that anything could.

I haven't had the chance to listen to all of these, but I think that I can broadly say that I prefer her "Hollywood slowcore"/torch songs to her more upbeat numbers. Those are reminding me at the moment of the Fun Loving Criminals, although I haven't heard that group in 15 years, so...Anyway, every Tarantino soundtrack she has ever listened to shining through. Actually, as I'm writing this, "raise me up" has come on, which seems to temper those influences a little better.

Perhaps that's why it was pulled? Maybe her material is undergoing a dramatic retooling for modern times.
― jon/via/chia/pet 2.0 (kkvgz), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 12:04 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah it's not good. I too think it's why they pulled it and why she got a different name.
― I for one am (Le Bateau Ivre), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 12:22 (twelve years ago) link
Like, there are a few good songs, but it's mostly a mess. I'll still look forward to whatever comes our way this fall though.

― sean gramophone, Wednesday, 10 August 2011 15:24 (twelve years ago) link
This, but I'm a little sad because all of the other songs - as bad as most of them are - do have lots of cool little hooks and tricks and melodies buried in them that I would enjoy listening to except for everything else in the song.
― jon/via/chia/pet 2.0 (kkvgz), Wednesday, 10 August 2011 15:28 (twelve years ago) link
"video games" and "diet mtn dew" are great but to me "buffalo wings" and "sportcenter" are the real emotional center of the album

"LANA DEL REY..."This video is no longer available due to a copyright claim by Ryland Bouchard.
curious...
― Popture, Sunday, 14 August 2011 11:09 (twelve years ago) link
o-O
Just found this on Bouchard's facebook:
Ryland BouchardI'm sorry to all the fans of Lana Del Rey who are upset that her video was removed from the internet for violating my copyright, but my request to her management was simple...1) Add an apology to the video description for the unauthorized use 2) A promise that she will try to make a Super 8 video herself in the future with an actual film camera and 3) Credits listed in her youtube video for all the sources in which she violated copyrights (including Disney).This request was rejected by her manager because it "would draw too much attention" to the fact that the footage was stolen. In any case this issue is resolved and the video has been removed. To watch the original footage from "Good Life #2" released in 2009 feel free to go to the attached YouTube link. I hope everyone is well and enjoying their summer.All the best,Ryland Bouchard

I thought those clips were from the Warner Brothers' cartoon Hollywood Steps Out?

't Was a mixed bag, like all her videos. So many fragments of old Hollywood films, Roger Rabbit etc.
Seems silly, she just should have given credit.

Luca Montefioriare there any stems out for a remix of any of your songs, may i humbly ask milady
― kkvgz, Sunday, 21 August 2011 21:29 (twelve years ago) link
we recently completed a remix of 'video games'. going through all the separate parts makes it clear what a beautifully-made piece of music it is, not to mention her awesome voice. a real pleasure to work on, and one of the few where we didn't just shiftclick everything except the vocal and hit delete.
not so keen on diet mtn dew but i like the bouncy old soul feel of 'kinda outta luck' - consensus among friends says this will be her BIG hit, in the uk at least. the b-side to VG 'blue jeans' is also awesome, very much looking forward to remixing that.
i think SHE is great too, just those few flickers of her in videos suggests she has the makings of a popstar that people will obsess over.
