Will you still love me When I’ve got nothing but my aching soul? I know you will, I know you will I know that you will Will you still love me when I’m no longer beautiful?.

Death, Beauty, and Iconoclastic Nostalgia: Precarious Aesthetics and Lana Del Rey
Death, beauty, and iconoclastic nostalgia: Precarious aesthetics and Lana Del Rey Arild Fetveit NECSUS ４ (２): １８７–２０７ DOI: １０.５１１７/NECSUS２０１５.２.FETV Abstract The obsolescence of analogue media along with a rapid succession of digital formats has sensitised us to the mortality of media. It has also spawned what Dominik Schrey has called ‘a golden age of nostalgia for these allegedly “dead media”’, now explored by visual artists, filmmakers, cinematographers, Do-It- Yourself enthusiasts, Polaroid fans, Instagram users, music video directors and others. Since the mid-1990s a partially-iconoclastic impulse focused on exploring the mortality of media materials has often taken the form of medium-specific noise. However, in recent years alternative strategies that counteract clarity, involving iconoclastic disruptions of the process of mediation, supported by a host of degrading techniques and strategies that thicken and foreground the medium and its materiality, have partially replaced uses of medium-specific noise. Cultural analysts awake to these and related developments have responded with a series of productive interventions. Drawing on many of these, I propose a media aesthetic approach where the disruptions in question are conceived as involving instances of precarious mediation to be examined within a precarious aesthetics. The music videos of Lana Del Rey effectively articulate ways in which precarious mediation is used in contemporary popular culture. In many of her music videos, like Summertime Sadness (2012) and Summer Wine (2013), the precarious mediation is given a nostalgic inflection, where an ambiguous yearning for the past is imbricated with cunning attempts to perfect imperfec- tion. This nostalgia appears iconoclastic on the level of mediation as well as in its yearning for the past greatness of America.

David Bowie, Paul Kantner, Glenn Frey, Leon Russell, Maurice White, Prince, Juan Gabriel, George Michael, Sharon Jones... the list goes on. And yet, while sad 2016 became a meme of its own, there is so much for the industry to celebrate. Music consumption is at an all-time high. Overall volume is up 3% over 2016, fueled by a 76% increase in on-demand audio streams, enough to offset declines in sales and return a positive year for the business.

FINALIST 2018 Taylor A. Greene High School Contest
FINALIST 2018 Taylor A. Greene High School Contest Fresh Coat of Paint by Jennifer Mouser Genre: Nonfiction Sponsoring Teacher: Andrea Rodrigue, Berlin High School I’m sick of the “yellow paint” mentality. Sick of paint chips, torn flower crowns, silvery scars, and Tumblr girls in their art journals begging to find their “yellow paint”. I’m sick of the “27 Club”, of romanization, of self-diagnosis, of “problematic” culture. I’m sick of it. Among all the famous tortured artists, Vincent Van Gogh seems to reign supreme with him allegedly eating yellow paint to make him happy, finding the colors, bright and wonderful, would curb the darkness within him. Young girls online write about finding their “yellow paint”, finding the very thing that will make them beautiful, or often use the “yellow paint” metaphor to speak of something they love so much that just consumes them. Googling it reveals a plethora of artists scribbling “find your yellow paint” with wonderful designs and paragraphs beside them. People regard it to love, saying “you’re my yellow paint”, referring to the person as someone who destroys them yet makes them happy. They draw sunflowers, they make poems, they drown in their romanizations, drown in poetry, drown in their symbolism. Paint stains their fingertips and bleeds onto their work. I stumbled upon it accidentally, but I found Alexandra Timmer and, by far, her poem was the most famous as she wrote, “If you were so unhappy that even the strangest ideas could possibly work, like painting the walls of their internal organs yellow, then you’re going to do it.

GRAMMY-NOMINATED COUNTRY STAR CAM ANNOUNCES HIGHLY ANTICIPATED SOPHOMORE ALBUM, THE OTHERSIDE OUT OCTOBER 30 RELEASES BRAND NEW SINGLE “CLASSIC” TODAY Cam - The Otherside Album Artwork (Photographer: Dennis Leupold) July 17, 2020 (Los Angeles, CA) - Grammy® award-nominated songstress Cam has officially announced the release of her highly anticipated sophomore album The Otherside, out October 30 via Triple Tigers/RCA Records. The album was written over the last three years in LA, Nashville, and NYC with collaborators Tyler Johnson (Harry Styles, Sam Smith) and Grammy winner Jeff Bhasker (Kanye West, Bruno Mars), who she calls her fellow “tinkerers.” The Otherside is available for pre-order now HERE. As a pre-release treat, she also delights fans with her captivating and *classic* new single, aptly-titled “Classic,” out today. Co-written and produced with Jack Antonoff (Taylor Swift, Lana Del Rey, St Vincent, The Chicks), “Classic” is about a relationship that transcends time and outlasts trends. “Ain’t nothin new I’m waitin for,” Cam sings, “cause they don’t make em like this anymore.” Full of warm and familiar references “like a bench in the front seat / Like a big yellow taxi / Like your best friend’s mixtape / A big limo and a prom date” to remind us how fun true love can be. “Classic” is available everywhere HERE. “Jack and I caught something in the air that day and ran with it,” Cam says. “The track is so much fun. Jangling guitars, claps, it feels like when a group of familiar people get back together over the holidays, clanking around after dinner with too much wine, and amidst the chatter and laughter and closeness they are really telling each other, deep down, just how much they love each other.” Earlier this year, Cam made her triumphant return with the release of “Till There’s Nothing Left,” performing the song on both The TODAY Show and Late Night with Seth Meyers.

Wong 1 Alex Wong Professor Libertz ENG 2100 The
Wong 1 Alex Wong Professor Libertz ENG 2100 The Playlist of My Life (Draft 1) You’re running out of time sings Rosé, South Korean-New Zealand main vocalist for the sensational K-pop girl group Blackpink, as I muster the strength to expel the words from my mind onto a Word document while I scream the lyrics to her new solo song “On the Ground.” In addition to her unique voice and her goddess-like visuals in the “On the Ground” music video, the lyrics of the song pertains to my life to some extent; drawing me to the song and her lyrics about how “everything [she needs] is on the ground.” Throughout my life, including this moment, music has played an important role by defining certain phases throughout my life as my music tastes evolves and as my life goes on. The instrumentals, the lyrics, and the tone of the singer’s voice in each song can express a plethora of different emotions, just like a human can, and a story or a theme in the music. Personally, I use music to express my emotions since I can connect to the lyrics and the message embedded in the song. Therefore, the playlist of my life, or the music I listened to, illustrates certain phases and emotions I went through in my lifetime by correlating directly with my personal evolution. As I sat in the car when I was younger, my earliest recollection of music making its mark on my life were Cantonese songs while my family and I made our way to Chinatown from Long Island every Saturday.
