"She's kind of like a bored, Valley-girl Fiona Apple. With appalling lyrics. She's amazing. I would happily hand over money to watch her live, even though I could probably gain a similar experience by listening to her album on my iPod whilst staring at a stationary department store mannequin." - unsuccessfully justifying my love for Lana Del Rey to

Recommend a song please :)

I feel kind of weird recommending any of her songs, to be honest, because I love her whilst simultaneously being aware that her music is overrated at best and flat out terrible at worst. I don't know, have you ever loved anything whilst logically seeing that there isn't any stand out reason for you to? This is how I feel about her.

My favourite is probably Born to Die, though. The lyrics are a lot better than her others. You can find the music video on Youtube :D.

Weird but cool, I was transfixed.

The beginning and end of my engagement with Lana Del Rey:

1. Read a one-page interview with her in Kill Screen, the artsy video games journal.
2. Listened to "Video Games."
3. Was disappointing that video games were not present in any way, shape or form in the lyrics. And was further appalled that her explanation of the title contained a much more interesting story than the generic-goop that was the lyrics.

That is a fantastic userpic.

I'm glad you like it, because I'm too lazy to ever change it!

I love how each verse of that song is relationship-centric gibberish and she tacks "video games" on at the end like an afterthought: "BLAH BLAH HEAVEN IS A PLACE ON EARTH BLAH BLAH VIDEO GAMES."

Interesting way to describe Lana Del Rey lol
I haven't really given her songs a listen yet. I heard a little bit of that song "Video Games" (is that the name of it?) and I liked her voice.

I keep hearing people talk about this girl, but I've still not listened to anything of hers. I'll go onto YouTube and listen to Video Games RIGHT NOW ...

Hmm. I don't hate it. I think it's the kind of song I'll like after a few listens. But won't like liking it.

haha what lyrical genius is this. I just listened to born to die. I don't really get all the hate she's been getting. She's no worse than everything else in the charts.
