SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 4)
Zach wraps up this week’s conversation on Tramp with a healthy dose of criticism. AudioVole’s therapist says this is expected behavior and that “sh*t can’t be fun and flowers all the time.” We’re going to have to ask to see his license.
SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 3)
Before Sarah sat down to respond to Zach, she whiled away her second consecutive night at a Jeff Mangum concert. She then proceeded to read Tramp in the light of An Aeroplane Over the Sea, which seems unfair. For those of you keeping track, AudioVole has now compared Sharon Van Etten’s Tramp to Bob Dylan going electric and An … Continue reading
SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 2)
Tramp is the first Sharon Van Etten album that does justice to her strengths as a singer and songwriter, says Zach Evans, before wondering if her new sound is akin to Dylan going electric. Really? We’re comparing Sharon Van Etten to Bob Dylan, now? Congrats, Sharon! AudioVole has just put you in some rarified company!
SHARON VAN ETTEN – Tramp (Part 1)
Long time, no Sarah on AudioVole. That’s changing right…now! She would normally be excited to write a funny little blurb here but all of the listening to Sharon Van Etten has made “excitement” seem like an unworthy emotion available only to those who have never experienced heartbreak. And tweens. Anyway, read what she has to … Continue reading
The People vs. Lana Del Rey (Pts 1-5)
So, AudioVole’s back after a too long hiatus, and wouldn’t you know it, our first victim is everyone’s first victim of 2012! Miss Lana Del Rey. Here’s the twisted irony of the whole damn thing: in decrying the public’s focus on everything LDR except her music, Ross and Brandon come out of the gate with one of … Continue reading
The People vs. Lana Del Rey (Part 5)
So, yeah. Things are getting a little heated between Ross and Brandon. Lana’ll do that. In fairness, Brandon did manage to eek out about 100 words on the actual album. Actually, looking back, this entire week’s dialectic feels like a meta-exercise in the PR plight of Lana Del Rey, an artist for whom people will … Continue reading
The People vs. Lana Del Rey (Part 4)
Ross lays down three theories and some completely baseless statistics for the Lana Del Rey witch hunt. But at least this “defense” of LDR does manage to somewhat defend her, a big step from his previous backhanded defense, which he used to subtly beat and abuse his client.
The People vs. Lana Del Rey (Part 3)
Brandon lets it all hang out, taking what appears to be the role of the Defense in opposition to Ross, who, I thought, was also the Defense. I’m confused. They’re definitely not on the same side, I know that. Yesterday, Ross said Lana Del Rey was a more slender Rebecca Black. (Ouch. Rebecca’s 14, dude. … Continue reading
