The problem with Lana Del Ray is that she may be smarter than you. After all, here she is, half-formed and already fully famous, ready for her closeup, clothed only in fantasy and in nostalgia for an America that no longer exists.

Sometimes, on YouTube, in between shifting veils of 1950’s stock…

Interesting stuff here, if you’re into the hip new music. I think Lana Del Rey = Nancy Sinatra + Lady Gaga, but that’s just me.

Big thanks to Rollo & Grady and their amazing music blog for sending tickets my way to Lord Huron’s show at The Troubadour last night. They were great and The Union Line also impressed me.

TV On The Radio made an hour-long film with a different music video for each song on their new album (Nine Types Of Light). Hadn’t heard the music or seen any of the videos before playing this and I’m enjoying it a lot. And it’s free and stuff!

Scott Stapp — “Marlins Will Soar” (audio only)

Scott Stapp once wrote a tribute/pump-up song for the Florida Marlins. Yes he did.

If this song ever won a Grammy, it would be dismantled and have its best parts traded for prospects in the offseason.

Destroyer’s set list for his show at Great American Music Hall, March 21, 2011

I saw him the following night in LA and it was pretty much this set, minus “Painter In Your Pocket” and plus “The Music Lovers”.
