Lana Del Rey SNL Debut [NEWS/MUSIC]

Posted by Gregory J. Shaw on January 16, 2012 at 7:00pm

If you caught her debut television performance on SNL this weekend--two weeks ahead of any actual album release, then you might have been somewhat underwhelmed. A truly informed rookie might have gracefully bowed out of such an offer--Natalie Imbruglia is the only other person in the history of SNL to receive one--allowing time to perfect his or her routine. But considering all the hype and buzz surrounding Lana Del Rey, if you or me were her, its doubtful we would turn it down either.

But as expected of a rookie, she seemed a bit nervous and unprepared. Not a big deal, could've been worse. She could have had an Ashlee Simpson moment. Some people are speculating it was the legendary poor sound at the 30 Rock studio, or was it the song choice? I blame the latter. 'Video Games' was way too soft, slow and unexciting for a broadcast premiere.

Regardless of her late-night efforts, it hardly tarnishes the fact that her music is still amazing. With a little more stage presence everything else will fall into place.

Check out some killer remixes, and grab the album Born To Die when it drops 1/31.

Winter Is Here, So Is The New 'Of Montreal' [MUSIC]

Posted by Gregory J. Shaw on January 16, 2012 at 5:22pm

The new Of Montreal album, 'Paralytic Stalks' will be out in the world in just a few weeks, but like a boy on Christmas [or Hanukah, don't want to discriminate] the excitement was too much to handle. Had to have it. And it seemed appropriate to share it--that's what they teach you in Kindergarden, right??

Well here it is! And as a bonus, the gang also wanted to share their song about oral hygiene from Yo Gabba Gabba...which I think they also teach you in Kindergarden. Best tracks on the album are easily the poppy, upbeat 'We Will Comitt Wolf Murder' [something Ted Nugent is likely acquainted with], 'Wintered Debts' [which we've heard] and the highly cosmic, echoey space journey 'Gelid Ascent' which as the name suggests, continues to spiral upwards towards the heavens throughout the song. 'Malefic Dowery' is a more subdued bubbly melody with harmonizing vocals. A very good song for a romp through a flowery meadow or an acid trip...no judgement.
