I’m not very interested in the whole Lana Del Rey scandal/debacle/hateration thing. I like Video Games a lot. I thought her SNL performance was terrible, but I feel terrible for her because of it. And maybe she’s packaged and the lips are tragic, but isn’t that the case with a lot of people? Anyway, so many people are weirdly obsessed and I figured I’d leave thinking about her to them (by ignoring them and her).
However, The Hairpin shared a post from musician/producer Blockhead’s blog yesterday where he talked about working with LDR way back when she was Lizzy Grant (not so long ago, really), and that got me all involved, at least temporarily. I may be purposefully disinterested in her, but I am very into him, or at least the music he makes and produces. I’m not exactly sure why I feel he’s a solid guy, but I’ve always had that sense, and his post pretty much confirmed that. He defended her in a logical and informed manner. He spoke from actual personal experience, and he dealt with her fairly. He didn’t have to chime in, but he did. (He also revealed interesting things about making music in the process). That’s the way it should be, right? It made me feel okay about the world.
