There are a lot of reasons why I shouldn't like this song, "Video Games", by Lana Del Rey - the low energy dirgyness of it, being number one. And maybe the weirdness of the lyrics ( My, "12 yr old boy thinking" has me going to weird places when I hear, 'Swinging in the backyard" ....what does that mean? ) But oddly, I keep wanting to go back and listen to it again. However, do it with caution. And not if you've been diagnosed with seasonal depression or any other kind of malaise of the mind for that matter.
......And with that, enjoy!

Lana is a trifle, but who cares? I like the song, too. She reminds me of a Fiona Apple.
I wish I hadn't watched this... she talks like a weird robot who went to the Madonna Finishing School of Affected Speaking Voices:

Also, they way she describes putting her video together so belabors what is probably a pretty straightforward process that it reminds me of the old SNL sketch of the Anal Chef describing how he wraps and disposed of kitchen scraps. :)
I, too, saw/looked up the 'controversial SNL video'. I mean, ya. it was kind of weird and seemed like pain meds were involved. The wig was whack but ROBYN, wasn't weird? Just in a different way, maybe?
Decorno: here's the best quote I've seen written about the 'hipster obsession' in relation to "Portlandia" (which I love )
".... is an extended joke about what Freud called the narcissism of small differences: the need to distinguish oneself by minute shadings and to insist, with ousted militancy, on the importance of those shadings".
