5 Notes

I can’t believe people are judging Lana Del Rey based on one performance on SNL—which to be completely honest, wasn’t even that bad.

Here’s her on Jools Holland a few months ago. This was her television debut, and she fucking killed it. She’s got a unique voice and she knows how to use it.

So she got nervous when she set foot on one of the most famous stages in the world. Do you know how many people watch SNL every week? I’d be freaking out too… and I doubt I would have sounded even a hundredth as good as Lana did.

The girl’s got an amazing, unique voice and a style and image that we haven’t seen the equivalent of in decades. Give her a second chance.

Perfect Situation

Weezer

Perfect Situation by Weezer

Though this is after they stopped being good (or right before, if you like Make Believe), this is inarguably and forever my absolute favorite Weezer song. So perfect. For any situation. Pun intended.

In For The Kill (feat. Kanye West)

La Roux

In For The Kill (feat. Kanye West) by La Roux

I have no idea why I didn’t know this existed before this week. La Roux’s best song with an absolutely kickass verse from Kanye? Amazing. Everyone should get the “Gold Edition” of La Roux’s self-titled album. The remixes on here are killer. And there’s even a very La Roux-ified cover of the Stones’ Under My Thumb on here that’s fucking brilliant.

Red Rain

The White Stripes

Red Rain by The White Stripes

This entire album is so perfect. I don’t know why I don’t just listen to nothing but this. As much as I love the White Stripes, I think Get Behind Me, Satan was their magnum opus. Icky Thump, while fun and cool and different in some ways, lacked the continuity that GBMS, Elephant, and White Blood Cells all had so prominently.
