“Duran Duran -- I remember the first night I was truly cognizant of the individual band members. It was the first Friday of December, 1984. My BFF Pam and I suffered the same affliction of not having cable TV and had to get our music video fix via NBC's "Friday Night Videos." I'd seen Duran Duran videos and knew their songs, but just wasn't all that into them. The video for "Do They Know It's Christmas" came on and I was like, "Pam, who is this hot guy with the long blonde hair???" "Oh, that's Simon LeBon. He's the lead singer of Duran Duran." Hmmm... "I guess that guy with the red and black shirt that says 'Duran Duran' on it is in the band, too, huh?" "Yeah, that's John Taylor. Like EVERYONE thinks he's hot." (And I remember thinking, "He's okay, I guess," LOL!) "Hey, Pam! Who's this guy back here? Shoot, I keep missing him! They just barely show him, with the amazing make-up and the gorgeous eyes???" "Oh, that's Nick Rhodes. He's in Duran Duran, too. I think he plays keyboards." Hmmm... The next video up? "Wild Boys" by Duran Duran! Just a few moments earlier, during "DTKIC," I had picked out these three men who would fill my dreams, diaries, and Duran-induced imagination for years and years to come, three talented musicians whose band's music would, from that night forward change my life forever and whose music would literally save my life more than once.”

Watch Lana Del Rey's Very Lana Del Rey New "Summertime Sadness" Video

Brett Warner
Lana Del Rey
3 Comments

Arriving with little of the buzz or fanfare surrounding "National Anthem," Lana Del Rey's latest retro super-8 music video opus "Summertime Sadness" appeared online earlier today without much fuss, for a change. Trading in her photographer-punching JFK for actress Jaime King (whose husband Kyle Newman directed the video along with filmmaker Spencer Susser), Miss Del H&M continues to flaunt her very specific skill set: aimlessly frolicking, pouting and standing around looking sad and distant with sweeping orchestral music playing in the background.

Check it out below.

Thoughts?

I don't kind know… I kind of like it. Of course, I kind of liked it when it was called "Video Games," too. Swap out A$AP Rocky for a doomed Thelma & Louise romance, though, and you've got a shorter version of "National Anthem"… minus a few pastel sweaters and a confused Marilyn Monroe homage. I get that the girl-girl romance is supposed to be edgy and engaging… but I don't know what these two purportedly did together other than take boring super 8 films of each other and stare longingly at each other in the front seat of a Cadillac. I get it, style-over-substance is par for the course when you're talking Lana Del Rey, but I can't help but feel like she's digging herself into an aesthetic rut. I never once thought I'd ever wish for a stale choreographed dance routine… but, well…

Verdict? It's fine… in that "is this really the only type of video Lana Del Rey knows how to make?" sort of way. Would really like to see her switching things up a little bit, though. Maybe next time the love affair is only mildly doomed? Or maybe only shoot 98% of it on old film stock? Shrug, food for thought.

What do you guys think of Lana Del Rey's "Summertime Sadness" video? Get the conversation started in our comments section below.
