Cracks me up – I’ve been getting some flack over the inclusion of Lana Del Rey. Clearly the girl has transgressed a few cultural no-no’s – and far be it for me to defend whatever aesthetic crimes she in all likelihood has committed. But all the backlash and ganging up is enough to make one think we’re living… in England. You can’t help but feel for her! Plus, I don’t know how you can deny that the chorus of “Born to Die” is terrific pop. Anyway.
You lost today kid, but it doesn’t mean you have to like it.
one of the best lists yet
p.s. Whoever sent us the John Hiatt record, THANK YOU.
