The Smiths x Lana Del Rey

Thought this was interesting because when I found it my first thought was very skeptical. Something along the lines of, "haha fuckin' yeah right, dumb" (bites food). But it's oddly decent. I'm underwhelmed by new music so far this week so this is mainly suplemental. My apologies.

Lana del Rey in V Magazine

I guess I'd call Lana del Rey a contemporary beauty in a classical way. Granted this is probably exactly the image she is going for or would love to have people call her. There is something mysterious about Lana del Rey. Maybe it's the way she hit the internet like a viral video earlier this year with "Video Games." She has not left us as an audience with much to grasp onto. This is about to change with the release of Born To Die this coming January. We will all finally have a chance to make our crass flash judgements of her. V Magazine recently interviewed Miss Rey and you can check the whole thing out here.


Lana on the production of Born To Die: ["I've kept it family. The beats are being looked after by my beat man. The arrangements are being done by my string man." There will be no industry grooming for the current and future pop star Lana del Rey] -excerpt from V magazine spot. 

 

Video: Lana Del Rey - 'Blue Jeans'

We heard her first single 'Video Games' and got pretty nostalgic watching the video. Here's the singer's second go at chopped up video to make us feel something. 'Blue Jeans' is the B-side to her 'Video Games' single due out next month. I'm really anxious to see where this gal's career is headed. She just announced her first two U.S shows marking her chance to prove her stage presence. Is she the next Britney, Gwen, Nicks, or just a Rebecca Black high off appealing video? Hopefully she can keep up the momentum. Until then, enjoy:

Presenting: The August Rust Mixtape

This past month it seems I've been wrapped up in the corrosive mist of San Francisco and I'm beginning to sense the signs of rust on those surrounding me. Thus, the August Rust Mixtape! This time around it's a bit longer (Fourteen tracks). In addition to the Soundcloud seamless stream, I've zipped the individual tracks that comprise the stream so you can listen at your own discretion. If you enjoy something, please support the artist.
