The wonderful Bogan Via from Tempe, Arizona were a featured Artist Of The Week in November. Their six track EP 'Wait Up' became one of our most played, and most rewarding music discoveries of the year. So we just had to ask them to share their favourite music of the year. Here are their picks. Haerts- Wings This song is instantly catchy. Voice is reminiscent of Tennis' Alaina Moore and just soars over warm harmonies and epic drums. Impossible to not like [...]

Nowness just posted this yesterday a sick rework by Blood Orange of Lana Del Rey 'Blue Jeans'. Better than the original. You'll have to Click Here to listen. If you missed the original check it out below and make your own comparison.
If you haven't heard of any mention of Lana Del Rey in the past few months, you've probably been living under a rock. This reserved pop singer came out of the woodwork with her beautiful and haunting single "Video Games". The song was featured on Gossip Girl among other things, and quickly gained popularity. Once the video for the song debuted, Lana Del Rey established her unique sense of style - a modern take on the golden era of Hollywood, where girls chased after the rebel without a cause, and societal over-dramatization was at its peak. Thus, in [...]
We know it's not her real name. We know she almost certainly had lip implants, despite her public denials (and seriously, what kind of Brazil-like future is this year of 2012 when this is even an option?). This is not about her recent live performances, from the widely-held-as-awful SNL performance, to the mostly-held-as-great David Letterman one: this is about her recorded work; specifically about Born to Die. As someone who genuinely loves black metal and torch singers like Billie Holiday (about whom I've written many times on my own site), and jazz in general, LDR is [...]
Doc Zeus really thinks you need to stop talking your talking points from Carles. There once was a pretty girl named Lizzie Grant who decided that she wanted to make music for a living. She signed a record deal with a major label and recorded a gooey, happy-go-lucky pop record in the vein of Stefani Germanotta or Katheryn Hudson. It failed. Like an untold number of aspiring singers, Lizzie was forced to start over. Whether by the influence of the divine, personal genius or the focus-tested will of a shadowy group of [...]
Dia 30 de Janeiro. Data muito aguardada em todo o mundo. Nascimento do último produto de marketing musical Born to Die , o tão ansiado álbum de Lana del Rey , estrela cadente que em poucos meses saiu da obscuridade para se tornar na nova pin-up da música pop actual. Recuando um pouco no tempo. Filha de um investidor abastado, menina de colégio interno depois de alguns problemas de álcool e drogas, Elizabeth Grant, chegou a Nova Iorque aos 18 anos onde começou a cantar em bares sob o nome de Lizzy [...]
One of the hottest and most highly anticipated records is scheduled for release in January, Born To Die . This young artist has a lot of momentum headed into 2012. But just who exactly is Lana Del Rey , and why does she have so much buzz right now? More importantly, does she live up to the hype? 25 year old Lizzy Grant refers to herself as the ‘gangsta Nancy Sinatra’ and [...]
OMG Penguin, what should I wear to the prison party? Blue Jeans? Okay!
Two years ago, I ran a series of guest posts from people involved in Irish music featuring their top 5 Irish acts at that moment. This time around, I thought I'd shift the focus to international and ask a similar questio...

Earbuddy Presents: Lana Del Rey Remixed: Our In-Depth Look at the Best Lana Del Rey is an unquestionable breakout star this year. After releasing two bonafide hit singles, the is-she or isn't-she indie singer has signed a deal with Interscope to record her debut full-length LP. And if that wasn't enough, she's announced another single -- "Born 2 Die" -- that's likely to be remixed by countless artists in [...]
While the rest of the blogging world might have been drooling over Lana Del Rey months ago, I'm only just now falling in love. What can I say? There's no excuse. October 16th was the release date for Del Rey's debut double A-Side single, " Video Games " and " Blue Jeans ," so I fell in love with her at a good time. While I'm not above listening to songs via YouTube my BlackBerry doesn't do video so well and this [...]

Lana Del Rey has been coined as the singer " bloggers love to hate " but not by this blogger. There's been controversy over her name change (Lizzy Grant) and image but personally I don't see what all the fuss is about. Who hasn't consulted with a team - be it a friend or manager, on their career? Stefani Germanotta didn't start out as Lady Gaga, she outwardly admits that music producer Rob Fusari coined the name for her. And can we discuss the dozen name changes the once branded Sean "Puffy" Combs underwent? It's [...]

I was curious to what all this buzz about this artist named Lana Del Rey . So I decided to check out the Youtube for her songs Video Games and Blue Jeans. I actually like her music. It has that old vintage 1960s lo-fi pop sound to it. Very reminiscent to Nancy Sinatra. With every positive spin will have some negative spin. Trying to do some research about her, I happened to check out Hipster Runoff and there had some stuff (not positive) about her. [...]

Here's a new face to Rarities , a lady with a voice many of you will already be very familiar with at this stage. With her name strewn across blogs, websites and social media forums the last few weeks, Internet sensation Lana Del Ray has a sound that will hang in your head and completely break your heart. Lana Del Ray seemed to come out of nowhere. Not so long ago, very few sets of lips would have uttered the 24-year-old New Yorker's name, but more [...]
