if your pussy tastes like Pespi cola, you may want to get to a doctor immediately and get your insulin levels checked

i don't get why this is so weird, isn't it par for the course that every vaguely successful major label album gets re-released a gazillion times with new add-ons each time? iirc there was a gaga box set for the fame monster...
― lex pretend, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:07 (eleven years ago) link
that's stupid too, although at least there was actual interest in a rehashed Lady Gaga album

my reaction stems from this being a particularly pointless box set even in the arena of pointless box sets

I think there's a slight difference between extravagant box sets that are released when the original albums come out, as another option for the "superfans", as opposed to box sets that get released months later that force fans to rebuy the same album.

see also "gold" and "silver" VIP packages to tours (where you get a meet-and-greet and early access to the merchandise stalls YAY)

i don't know how it "forces" anyone to do anything really. and at least they're getting 9 new songs (basically another album) for the price of buying the alubm again, a lot of deluxe editions are like 2 new songs. (xpost)

The cool thing is that one of these boxes actually contains Lana Del Rey's severed ear.

you see you laugh but the gaga box set actually DID contain a "lock" of her "hair"

― Mark G, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 15:31 (eleven years ago) link
well, yeah, the "new" stuff wildly varies from set to set. in terms of "forcing" fans to buy stuff, i'm looking at it from the point of a fan who isn't going to illegally download the new stuff. a lot of these deluxe editions get released with new songs that you just cannot get any other way. i'm not sure if its still this way, but the Katy Perry rerelease of her recent album on iTunes had the "new" material greyed out an only available as 'Album Only', meaning you had to buy the entire thing again to get the new stuff. how is that not forcing the hardcore fans to re-buy the same material again?

Seems like a big part of LDR's appeal is the image, the way she is packaged and repackaged, so it seems like having new artifacts to complete your LDR set is pretty much giving the fans what they want. Not that the music isn't important at all, but the image is at least as important, if not more so.

never got the album, will get this edition when they are selling it for a fiver in fopp ( a la 2 cd + dvd edition of lady gagas special edition of BTW).
― mark e, Tuesday, 25 September 2012 16:25 (eleven years ago) link
xpost yeah it was Amy Winehouse's Deluxe Edition Back To Black that really ushered in the Deluxe Era, as that was the first (only?) Deluxe Edition to be issued that had a really big hit single on it/from it (Valerie) that was a bigger hit(number 2 in the uk charts) than anything on the original parent album. that was the point i think labels woke up to it as a proper cash cow and not just as a thing the fans/ geeks would buy as Back To Black Deluxe edition was then separately a big hit in the uk album chart that Xmas.
there are probably some other good later examples too mind...

like i joked on fb, if the song's called "bel air," maybe the smoke silhouette is meant to represent the smog over the 405. kidding aside, i think this is quite pretty.

Why did no one ever tell me about the "My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola" line?
For the most part, this Paradise ep is nothing, but that lyric is absurd and terrible and great all at the same time.

"Ride" starts it off pretty well, and "Cola" has that ridiculous lyric, but the rest of it isn't doing much for me.

disco naïveté is good for discovering some stuff, but his Lana Del Rey fixation has now spilled over into fandom for her first true clone/imposter: Fe.

The other track, "Let It Go", is actually okay. That's why I'm not posting the video for it, because it becomes considerably less okay is you have to watch her singing it.

A bit less an imposter, but this bit of Brill building pop is definitely hitting some LDR buttons:
