"Everybody Knows It. It's a fact. Kiss Kiss"

Okay, Lana Del Rey's "Born To Die" might actually, officially be my favorite album of 2012. I don't really care about the rumors and what everyone says that she's just to made up and "fabricated". Come to think of it: nowadays, who isn't anyway? She happens to have a great team behind her curating her impeccably rendered prissy-meets-rowdy image which, honestly, couldn't fascinate me more at this point.

National Anthem is one of my favorite tracks off "BTD" and though it triggered images of a different feel in my head, I am utterly in love with this 7+ minute video. Directed by Anthony Mandler of Les Enfants Terribles. National Anthem is amazingly styled and lazily evolves into a gorgeous masterpiece. I love how certain iconic references are beautifully woven together in a pretty unconventional light and script!

For some reason "Money is the reason we exist, everybody knows it. It's a fact. Kiss kiss." is stuck in my head since the first time I heard this song, maybe because -sadly- it's the truth.

Lana Del Rey Album Cover

I know that the previous (from over a week ago) post was a Lana Del Rey post, but I just could not NOT post on this. This is the cover for Lana Del Rey's upcoming album (end of January) and it is pure perfection. Impeccable in every possible way.

Friday's rock. Not that they stand-out any differently in my routine, but they kind of have that nice vibe to them. Anyway, this remix of Lana Del Rey's Blue Jeans by Nikonn from greek electro band Mikro (insert love here) is so fitting to today's mood. The (original) video to this song is awesome too.
