An alternative (and occasional) music posting highlighting something out of the ordinary. Perhaps of limited appeal, unconventional, experimental or just far-out ! Call it what you like (or switch it off, if you don't like).
New music 'Midweek Spot' - on seeing the Grammy Awards 'Album of the Year' nomination and having read that this album was many reviewers Best Album for 2019, I decided to investigate further. Having liked her 2012 'Video Games' off the 'Born To Die' CD, other weird album titles followed: 'Ultraviolence', 'Lust For Life' and now the latest 'Norman F**king Rockwell' ?!! (Title explained here).
Full of interesting songs, none more so than this near 10 minute track of day dreamy psychedelia that hypnotically ticks along with you fully expecting it to explode any minute (like a time bomb) ... Lana del Rey singing 'Venice Bitch' over a video collage of vintage Super 8-style freeway footage, faded, flashed, looped and sped up, intercut with weathered images of Lana. Listen out for some Keith Emerson like synthesizer noodlings and shredding guitar work. Weird goings on.
I like it a lot. But don't look now, is that car following us ?
If you like too, then check out: 'California' > www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3AjB6FwNmE
and maybe 'Mariners Apartment Complex' & 'The Greatest', all off the latest album.
