Following her Marie Antoinette (specifically the version created by Sofia Coppola ) inspired music video, Marina and The Diamonds performed this live version of her new single "Primadonna" at BBC's Radio 1 Live Lounge. It's stripped down, but the heart on her cheek bone lets us know that she hasn't forgotten from where this song was derived.

Primadonna Marina Diamandis — you may know her as the head of Marina And The Diamonds — popped up on UK chat show Lorraine on Friday (Apr. 13) to talk about her Madonna -inspired "pink and fluffy" new look, opening for Katy Perry and overcoming last year's #1 killer of awesome musical tours: vocal cord injury. Suffering from a ruptured vocal fold, Marina told the host she's been on a week of silence (outside of her promotional engagements) and isn't [...]

Whoa! This hoody allows you to behead the famous Marie Antoinette. This is almost too clever, I can't believe nobody has made this before. You can vote on this design over on Threadless. As one commenter pointed out, this could be really dramatic if you were a red T-shirt underneath. [ via ]
Food-related props abound through the ages: Queen Victoria's consort Prince Albert had several horseradish-filled white sauces named after him (which, to me, just inspires unwelcome visions of their marital bed); Napoleon inspired the sweet Bonaparte's ribs (which reminds of Marie Antoinette's famously misunderstood advice to starving peasants: "Let them eat cake!"); and then there are hundreds of bands named after funny-sounding foods. But one Toronto eatery may be on to something with their Wilco-centric sandwichery, the Sky Blue Sky Sandwich Company. Their entire menu is comprised of carefully crafted sammies named after [...]

Bølgerne efter Dunés debut har ikke lagt sig endnu, Alphabeat er at finde alle steder både i dit TV og i din radio, ligegyldigt om det så er 100 Fm eller P3 du rocker ud til. Der er i det hele taget utrolig godt gang i den danske ungdom på musikscenen, og jeg skal netop nu til at introducere jer for endnu et produkt af denne scene. Navnet på dette produkt er fynske Marie Antoinette. Det er taget fra en fransk dronning der endte sine dage i guillotinen på bastille-dag. Bandet består af fem knægte, der ligesom [...]

Soundtracks have always been of the upmost importance to Sofia Coppola's films ( The Virgin Suicides , Lost in Translation ) so it should come as no surprise that for her latest, Marie Antoinette , it is a (like it or not) driving force. When I first saw the first trailer for the film featuring New Order's "Ceremony," I have to admit, it felt a bit jarring and out of place. But taking the project as a whole, the marriage of [...]
Sofia Coppolan elokuvissa musiikilla on ollut aina merkittävä rooli. Yhteistyössä musiikkituottaja Brian Reitzellin kanssa hän on koonnut elokuviinsa onnistuneita soundtrackeja. Näin näyttäisi käyvän myös Coppolan uusimman leffan Marie Antoinetten kanssa. Elokuvan soundtrack ei sisällä kuvaamansa aikakauden musiikkia, vaan uskaliaan yhdistelmän 80-luvun new wavea ja uudempia kappaleita.
