Lana Del Rey

Tigers in Church. . just incase you haven’t been haunted by Lana Del Rey yet here ya go. . She is very melodramatic, very sexy and sorta silly. The imagery in the Cathedral is great and her songs are haunting. The live stuff is a bit off in my opinion (see saturday night live set) but I still like her songs and style. enjoy.

IF YOU OWN AN IPAD, YOU CAN EXPERIENCE BJORK’S NEW ALBUM, ‘BIOPHILIA’ AS AN AUDIOVISUAL INTERACTIVE PROGRAM. DIFFERENT SONGS CAN BE MANIPULATED AND TWEAKED BY YOUR OWN INTERACTION WITH THE SCREEN. YOU GOT TO HAND IT TO HER, SHE REALLY KNOWS HOW TO STEP UP HER GAME AND CONTINUE TO BE TECHNOLOGICALLY AND MUSICALLY RELEVANT…SCREW LADY GAGA.

STROKED: A Tribute To ‘Is This It’

In honor of the 10th anniversary of The Strokes’ debut album Is This It, Stereogum got some of their favorite artists together to cover each track: Stroked: A Tribute To Is This It. Contributing artists include Peter Bjorn & John, the morning benders, Deradoorian and others, but my favorite track comes from Owen Pallett, who reimagines “Hard To Explain” as a classical piano quintet, dressing up The Strokes’ signature drive with elegant poise fit for a concert hall.

In Pallett’s description of the cover he references an interesting quote from Regina Spektor:

“The thing that blew my mind first hearing the Strokes was that they were the closest I had heard rock come to classical. Their music is extraordinarily orderly and composed.”

First Glimpses

On February 11, 1964 an 18 year old Mike Mitchell snapped the first glimpses of what would become a worldwide phenomenon. Almost 50 years later after this first U.S. concert, a basement project of digitizing old negatives would fetch this once young photographer several hundred thousands of dollars at a recent auction.
