New Sharon Van Etten “Serpents”
There are very few women I really want – or I should say hope are gay (of course excluding the ones who are already out). Sharon Van Etten is one of those ladies that I look at and say, “Pretty please – can we have this one?” And it’s not that I want to get tied up to the bedpost with her guitar strap or anything, it’s just that she’s so talented and…I’m going to shoot myself in the foot here…she just looks like she would make a great lesbian. Like, I bet she owns a giant mug devoted to drinking tea out of and a fern she was keeping an eye on for a friend but then it ended up staying at her place because she took great care of it.
Actually, now that I think about it – a friend of mine IMed me the other day with just this, “Hi! watch this. How can she not be gay!?” And of course my response was, “I LOVE HER”. But yeah, not gay – just loved by the lesbians.
Here is her new single, “Serpents” from her upcoming release, Tramps. She’ll be playing two shows at Lincoln Hall Feb. 16th & 17th – get your tickets now.
“Call Your Girlfriend” Cover with Unique Percussion

Call your girlfriend and then call up the makers of Gladware because they are missing out on an awesome advertising campaign opportunity. The girls of Erato combine three-part harmonies and the percussion from hitting plastic things (I can’t really tell what they are but it looks like my pasta from last night might be in it) on a table. Love it!
Karen O, Trent Reznor & Atticus Ross “Immigrant Song”
Does anyone else feel like it has taken forever for the American version of The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo to finally come out? The build-up is pretty much making me expect the worst – particularly because I’ve already seen the incredible (but graphic & disturbing) version from Denmark and if it’s anything similar, I fear that American audiences will find it too disturbing. Of course, if it’s too different, it will lose vital parts of the story. Also making me worry? A badass soundtrack. It seems as though ad execs and the Hollywood elite have caught on to the fact that a great soundtrack will bring audiences in to see terrible movies.
Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross have already proven their ability to take their craft from sold-out concert arenas to small dark film editing rooms and have an Oscar to prove it. Add Karen O to the mix and you have a team that is about as close to perfection as one can get.
With any luck, I’ll be able to sit through the film for a longer amount of time than I was able to sit through the book before happily adding it to my donation pile.
Lana Del Rey’s New Pre-Video Video & Commentary
I recently had an email discussion with one of my favorite AfterEllen readers regarding the origins of Lana Del Rey (née Lizzy Wright) and my self-imposed restrictions when it comes to checking out her previous music. As much as I would like to say I am not a judgmental person, I know that I would be full of shit – particularly when it comes to music. So, I refuse to seek out the music she put out under her previous name because I don’t want it to ruin the way I feel about what she is putting out now. In other words, Lizzy Wright is dead to me and Lana Del Rey is a new artist on the rise whose lyrics are sometimes totally shit but whose voice and choruses have a tight grip on my ears and, most times, heartstrings.
Her latest video release is a placeholder for the actual music video “Born to Die”, and is the title track to her upcoming album “debut”. My eyes can’t stare at one thing for too long without getting bored so 30 seconds into topless Lana being held by a tatted dude in front of a waving American flag, I let my eyes leave the page but continued listening. It’s no “Blue Jeans“, but it will definitely do the trick and I hope some of the pitchfork-wielding internet users will be able to see past her collagen-enhanced lips and name change and just pay attention to the music she is putting out.
I challenge anyone to a duel who can listen to this live performance and tell me she isn’t extremely talented.
Props to Stereogum for their great video/LDR-haters write-up.
