Paranoid Android Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Pretty impressive considering how many remixes of this song there probably are floating around the internet right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 OK, so after it reaching 22 last night on the hypem chart (i have photographic evidence!) and sitting at 310 downloads this morning, Universal have filed a claim against my soundcloud account for copyright infringement. Well done major labels, keep stamping out that piracy and you'll be rolling in cash again in no time!I'm working on finding a suitable alternative host, maybe with a coupla tweaks to the mix as the kick was a bit OTT for the club.

Monster Zero Posted November 10, 2011 Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 I've seen 2 pics of her in magazines recently that led me to think she was mighty cute, had a big toothy grin going on in both. Mouth closed pics, not so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted November 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 10, 2011 Her lips are old news, after seeing the last video I posted it's her legs I think about now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hog Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Love "video games". "Blue Jeans" sounds too much like Chris Izaak. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paranoid Android Posted January 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2012 yeah it was pretty bad. Most her live performances seem a little dodgy but this one was just weird. Still really lookign forward to the album though, Blue Jeans, Born to Die and Videogames are all great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 http://www.popjustice.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=5983&Itemid=206A note to Alternative Music Scribes having trouble with Lana Del ReyHi!We are aware that you have been having trouble with Lana Del Rey for some time now. When you know that a relationship isn't working it is somtimes hard to move forward but we just want to let you know that it is alright to make a clean break. And maybe the right time is now. Maybe now it is time to let go of Lana Del Rey. And that is fine. Do not feel guilt. She is safe in the arms of pop.Why now? Well, she's got a proper single out this week. This is the one that's supposed to be 'the big one'. And yes we know the accidental Top 10 hit last year confused you a bit, because you weren't sure whether you were already supposed to have bailed on her by that point, so your end-of-2011 year in review articles were a bit muddled. You didn't know what you were supposed to think any more, but that does not matter any more because, like we say, you can walk away right now with your dignity.And there's no need to feel bad that it hasn't worked out. You've given it a good go. You've had your chance to impose your boring ideas of authenticity onto a pop creation, to express your disgust that she might be better in the studio than on the stage. That's the way you like to judge things and that's fine, it's just that this isn't how pop works, and Lana Del Rey is a pop thing. A hot, melodic, major label-signed pop thing.You were probably starting to realise about ten weeks ago that the whole Lana Del Rey 'proposition' was a bit less complex than you'd made it out to be. You realised that her music didn't really sound like anything else you wrote about, but you still wanted her to be 'your' pop princess. The Britney of alt! Maybe the David Sneddon co-writes were the last straw, maybe it was the cover of Q Magazine. But isn't that still interesting in a looking-at-it-from-the-outside sort of way? Not really, but we admire you for trying to keep that going.The point is, you've had your opportunities to big her up and knock her down and do this and do that. You've had the leaks and the 'leaks' and the streams and the mixes. Oh, those mixes! The mixes were made just for you! We know that made you feel special. And now you feel betrayed because she was just like all the other girls, with their blog-friendly positioning and their secret fantasies of a Top 10 hit. We know you're upset and we know you're angry but please don't talk about being used. You want to be used. You want to be a tastemaker. You want to be the one PRs and pluggers and labels come to when they want to launch a new artist. You want to decide when things are good or bad and you want the comments on your blog articles from the people who disagree. Well you've had all that. You've done all you can. You've done your thinkpieces and your polls and your faceoffs. You've had your traffic. There is nothing more you can say or print or publish or broadcast to change things now. So let her succeed or fail on her own terms. These are the terms of the popstar, for that is what she is. If she succeeds she succeeds as a popstar; if she fails, she fails as one too. Leave her to the mainstream chat shows. Leave her to the daytime radio playlists. Leave her to the Top 10, or the Top 40, or the Top Wherever-She-Ends-Up. Because that is what this was all leading up to. Don't act all surprised. It is not our fault you do not understand this popstar. We know you are embarrassed that you got it wrong, and we know you're not sure how to handle the situation now. Do you continue the support? Do you lash out? Do you try to do both at the same time because you're not sure how many records she's going to sell and you want to maybe keep your readers on side? The answer is easy. If you don't feel that she's part of your world, let her drift away while you go back to plotting that definitive Bon Iver thinkpiece.Yes we know you'll be writing articles about how right you were if she succeeds or how wrong your peers were if she fails by the time the end of 2012 reviews roll around. We know she'll either be the multi-platinum pop creation you created or the faker who deserved everything she got. So why not write those thinkpieces now? Why not write them now, print them out onto some nice paper then take them into a field and set fire to them, because we don't want or need to read them. If a kid picked and poked and pushed and pulled a rabbit you'd take the rabbit away from them. You cannot be trusted with a popstar.You've had your chance. Hand her over.Love, PS: You can have Santigold back if you want.[/QUOTE] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Milner Posted January 23, 2012 Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 Who or what is Pop justice? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2012 It's a pop music website. I don't actually particularly like the site, in general I prefer the forum rather than the main site but I think the above piece is pretty much on the money. Some of the LDR chatter on indie blogs and websites is just awful. She's become one of those cases of an artist for who people who dislike her talk about her 10 times more than makes any sense.

Oedo 808 Posted January 24, 2012 Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 Don't like her voice that much. Don't like her face. Hate the contrived image and the retro associations picked all too perfectly. The Video Games tune isn't too tragic though. Love the fact that the 'authentic' fetishists and muso wankers have had a nice big smack in the puss over the whole thing. So on the whole she's a force for good.

Paranoid Android Posted January 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 24, 2012 The album leaked today. Initial reports are that it is good although drags a bit especially if you listen to the bonus tracks on the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FOX Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 To be honest, "Video Games" is just shit, and I'm not keen on her at all. "Kinda Outta Luck" was alright, I suppose. That's all I'll say on her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paranoid Android Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 She's not for you then foxy. Especially as Kinda Outta Luck isn't on the album.Video Games is still fantastic. Blue Jeans is my favourite though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootray Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I find her a bit dull tbh. Video Games is just not my cup of tea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaaakkkeee Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 She's done a live lounge for zane lowe. preview at back of 12. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Never heard of her -> just listened -> I find it to be very contrived, uninspiring music: like if cardboard made a song -> don't care -> bye.I'd rather listen to Master of Puppets.

Paranoid Android Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 Shouldn't have made this thread, should have just kept her safe in the pop thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moose Posted January 25, 2012 Report Share Posted January 25, 2012 I like pop music, I think this is rubbish though. I'm glad you like her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
