The Grain Of The Voice

Lana Del Rey is still thinking about doing a covers album. 'Lay Lady Lay', please. Hint: Chan Marshall is releasing her remake of Dylan's electric gig. Chan / Cat on why she chose the set:

"I got an offer to play the Royal Albert Hall in London on Bonfire Night, Guy Fawkes Night... and I was like 'well if I play there, I only want to do Dylan's songs'. And that was just a no-brainer of which songs I would do. 

I felt pretty alone when I was young - when he was running around being a rockstar and stuff. I wasn't a rockstar, but just knowing that someone was kind of scuzzy, and writing his own shit and saying what he wanted to say and doing his own thing, that was that peer thing he gave people. He narrated and was able to articulate people's points of view during a time of mass confusion and that confusion is the thread of our social constructs."

Michelle Wolf is in Barcelona:

"Spain is like, you guys can make all the money you want but we're going to take these two hours off in the afternoon, get a coffee, and then we're gonna come back and work like a half-hour more, and then we're gonna enjoy a glass of wine and a snack, and then we're gonna take off a month in August to really wind down."

I'm listening to Soshi Takeda's Memory of Humidity.
