StrawberryBlond 14,120 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 Omg really? Was it played as full? Yep, but I'm unsure if it was played in full. TV footage cuts you off inevitably, but as the final standings were processed and the commentators had words backstage, I distinctly heard National Anthem begin. Not long before we were cut away, but I certainlly think a good portion would get played. An "Olympic soundtrack" has been compiled for down time between events and this looks like this is one of them, even if it's just a short segment. I don't know how long this has been playing over the last few days but BTD has risen from #17 to #12 on the albums chart, so maybe this played a part? Lana's album has been the most successful in the UK, so here's hoping playing one of her songs to a velodrome packed with British spectators will prove fruitful. I'm not really bothered if the single doesn't go anywhere, as long as her album keeps selling. Selling over 2 million worldwide is amazing for an artist that's been written off as a flop.

Yeah, just look how an irrelevant bold-blonde-b---h escalated unrealistically and so quickly. I'm still proud of her :golfclap: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
dc1993 1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 OMG. Lana Del Rey posing for Ellen Von Unwerth for the August issue of Vogue Italia. Parts of the interview, about the new album: "Del Rey is the mirror in which America likes to look into these days. Embodying a sophisticated blend between retromania music mentioned in by English music critic Simon Reynolds, to the iconography of Mad Men, a bit of spirit and an alternative cinematic sensibility out of the ordinary." Her next album will be with the theme "West Coast", "It will be a re-release (to the first record, Born to die which was more of a mysterious music) with eight new songs, and will be released in November. The sound is inspired heavily by the Doors, by LA, the integrity of the sixties, when the music was more spiritual and made ​​people feel more alive." - Lana Del Rey, herself for the upcoming project. Love the sound of this! Sounds like her Hippy EP ;) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALX 170 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think it's definitely going to sound like LDR :party: Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc1993 1 Posted August 6, 2012 Share Posted August 6, 2012 I think it's definitely going to sound like LDR Really? from The Doors, the 60s spiritualism in music and LA, you think LDR-sounding? I think the demo of Lucky Ones has a pretty folksy vibe, could be an early test of the sound she was trying out? :) either way, we're garunteed brand new Lana material - so happy!

Tommymonster44 0 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 If it's organic I hope it's an actual orchestral quartet or quintet instead of a computer generated orchestra ^^ This. I love electronic music. When it's produced right, it sounds amazing. But traditional instruments such as a guitar, piano, orchestra, etc, should be played in the format they were meant to be played in. Just like it wouldn't go well trying to make a dubstep bass-line on a Cello, it doesn't work when you synthesize a violin. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lana Del Rey 1 Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 (edited) Can somebody please explain to me why others call Lizzy Grant A.K.A LDR as Nevada? A while ago on her old label's website (5points records) there was some MP3s from the album, they were tagged with the album name 'Nevada Master Ref 1'. It was a working title. And it's Lana Del Rey A.K.A. Lizzy Grant, not the other way round. Edited August 7, 2012 by Lana Del Rey Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
