No love either last night or tonight for Ed Sheeran or Elle King at the Mercury Lounge?

12:27 is a genius.

Is 12:27 even real? Where did it come from? I mean such a perfect comment out of no where. Is there some sort of money behind the comment? I feel like 12:27 might have been commenting for a while at a different time and it just wasn't sticking. Does 12:27 have any other good comments or was this just a flash in the pan?
Posted by Anonymous | January 31, 2012 2:07 AM
2:07, you're an idiot. Was that comment good enough?

Llamas are great! A little brown sauce, slow grill and hot damn! A good summer feast.

for the full effect, you need to align the llama photo with lana's...it's gooder that way

12:27 is a one comment wonder. High on his new found status, he will start taking drugs - party drugs at first - then on to stronger, more dangerous narcotics. He will spend all his time trying in vain to recapture the magic of LLAMA DEL REY. But the drugs will blot out his creative energy. He will die of an OD, alone, naked in an empty apartment in Williamsburg. Hand hovering over the keyboard, his last words: LLAMA DEL REY...

just do a google image search for llama del rey. you'll discover 12:27 is not a one comment wonder.

I heard that Llama Del Rey has "transcendent talent." Is that true?

Is the Debut Album by Lana Del Rey out yet and available on Android Market, and is she a transcendent talent?

llama del rey was already a meme for a few weeks. google it and you'll find plenty of pictures.

I also heard that Del Rey's debut album is "Hollywood beauty shot through with an emcee swag." What does this MEAN??

"Lana Del Rey holds, nay, is a mirror in which we see ourselves. The question is, do we want to look?"

Haters gonna hate, but Lana Del Rey can sit on my face any time she pleases.

a llama sitting on your face? that's nasty.

11:10 her performance was not horrible given her supreme lack of talent. She did about as well as she could given the lackluster songs and generally poor skills.
That has nothing to do with her sweet cooch

What does that even mean ... "shot through with emcee swag" ????

"I'm tired of the word "swag"."
Yes, but I'm even more tired of trendies pretending like they'd get a chance with some female musician over some delicious "sausage". Why do you think there are so many hipsters eager to check out the metal photos? Lol!

I can't stand the little twinkie harlot's musical stylings, but considering how much complete shit commenters around here listen to, I'm kind of surprised the negativity is unanimous. It's almost like a moment of shared sanity. Now, back to listening to Tune-tards for the lot of you maggots.
