Picture of the day: September 12, 2012

This picture was posted by Lou Reed via his Facebook with caption "Sectioned" yesterday (September 11). It is a reaction on lawsuit over iconic cover of Velvet Underground's debut album Velvet Underground & Nico, which came out in 1967.

Lou Reed and John Cale initiated that their band should own the copyright to this famous picture instead of Andy Warhol Foundation. However, judge recently threw this claim out.

So the argument about trademarks continues because there is a lot of money in it - the album is celebrating its 45th anniversary and for this occasion six-disc album is set to be released as well as iPhone and iPad accessories.

I think this whole situation is just ridiculous and I think that both Andy Warhol Foundation and Velvet Underground should own the copyright for this picture.

Here is the original cover of the album:

Song of the day: Lana Del Rey - "Born To Die"

I know that Lana Del Rey is an artist, which a lot of people don't like for several reasons. And I understand those reasons. I know that there are a lot of haters, but also plenty of lovers of her. And even though I'm not saying that I listen to her music every day, her style is pretty unique as well as her voice and songwritting.

Her live performances are also pretty good. Example are these two performances from Premises:

And maybe she have fucked up big time her SNL appearance earlier this year, but she can really sing well. I think that she was just too nervous during SNL.

Anyways, this acoustic performance of "Born To Die" was recorded at Poolside at Chateau Marmont and it is really awesome.
