I’d just like to point out that Lana Del Rey is not singular, either in her music or in regards to the buttons she’s pushed. She’s actually fairly typical of what pop often gives us these days, simply with a different veneer, a different method of distilling key elements of the culture’s sheet-rumpling dreams. Here’s a list of artists who might not share her most obvious attributes, but who nonetheless belong to the same conversation we’re having about LDR.

Now every girl is expected to have Caucasian blue eyes, full Spanish lips, a classic button nose, hairless Asian skin with a California tan, a Jamaican dance hall ass, long Swedish legs, small Japanese feet, the abs of a lesbian gym owner, the hips of a nine-year-old boy, the arms of Michelle Obama, and doll tits. The person closest to actually achieving this look is Kim Kardashian, who, as we know, was made by Russian scientists to sabotage our athletes."

House of Mind: The Neuroscience Behind Near Death Experiences
So today I found a neuroscience review dealing with a far-out topic: the neuroscience underlying near death experiences (NDE) and other “paranormal” phenomena such as experiences seeing bright lights, meeting the dead or being convinced that you are dead. According to Mobbs and Watt (2011),…

I’m 23 and I have lots of joint pain.

I love rain!
