Well, maybe not everything. But low birth weight, the effects of brain damage, illiteracy, droopy plants, teen loitering, sluggish alcohol sales…
The one that talks about playing classical music to make loiterers go away is so funny to me. Got people you want to get rid of? PLAY SOME LOUD CLASSICAL MUSIC.

spender (smiler feat. lana del rey) // dirt off your shoulder/born to die (lana del rey vs. jay-z) // blue jeans [smims&belle remix] (lana del rey vs. azealia banks) // million dollar gold digger (lana del rey vs. kanye west) // lucky struggle (lana del rey vs. the notorious b.i.g.) // video game over (lana del rey vs. drake) // if i ruled the diet mountain dew (lana del rey vs. nas and lauryn hill) // ridin [in studio preview] (the kickdrums feat. a$ap rocky and lana del rey)
I’m pretty indifferent to Lana del Rey, but this is an interesting compilation of tracks.
Reblogged from roseandthebeastIf I’m in a good mood and it’s summertime, I play all the songs I listened to my senior year of HS, without fail. And hey, I’m in a good mood and it’s summertime, so SURPRISE-SURPRISE. This music is timeless, imo.
Check me out on the 101 with the windows down and this playlist on my stereo system at full blast. Check. me. out.
I feel like I’m about to start graduation rehearsals again looking at this. In my HS yearbook, you wrote something like, “Chanelle - remember how we went to the same school for 4 years and didn’t really talk until this year? BIG MISTAKE.” This playlist is a perfect example of how you were right.

I came across this song and video kind of randomly a couple weeks ago, and it’s been in my head ever since.
LA’s defs reapin’ the benefits of all the Coachella artists’ downtime in between the weekends.
Manchester Orchestra! And, hey, maybe I’ll finally see We Were Promised Jetpacks.

Ever since “Arab Spring” became the dominant shorthand ↑for the revolutionary uprisings ↑ that began in December 2010, writers have been taking issue with the term. Rami Khouri considers the phrase ↑dehumanizing and Orientalist ↑ because it downplays the agency, initiative, and courage of people fighting for dignity against brutal, authoritarian regimes. Seasons just happen, but people make revolutions happen.
…
The Arab uprisings have changed Arabic hip-hop by greatly raising the profile of Arab rappers across the world and spurring intensive collaboration among them. As the producer Excentrik told Aisha Fukushima ↑ , “Yeah, there’s an Arab hip-hop scene, but it’s a global scene, it’s not like a localized scene…it’s random because it’s so big and so spread apart.”

This is interesting! Putting here so I can remember to read the whole thing and check out the people mentioned later.

I tried to close my eyes to go to sleep, and this song was waiting in my brain jukebox. It’s been in my head on and off all day long.
