“Lana Del Rey seems to be bothering everybody because she allegedly “remade”...”
– Liz Phair
Liz Phair just doesn’t get it, does she? Pretty convinced she hasn’t listened to the album. What’s assertive and inspiring about a singer who begs and pleads to be loved, wanted and adored by a man who buys her diamonds? Nothing.
If anything, we’ve already established that LDR is the...

I’ve been trying to formulate exactly why I was so disappointed by all the people scrambling to tear this girl’s work down (as if it had previously been up on some sort of pedestal), and this writer said it far more eloquently than I could have.
