From The Depths of Shea Stadium: Titus Andronicus Cover Charli XCX & Icona Pop's "I Don't Care" (OR "I Love It")

It's pretty safe to say that New Jersey Punks Titus Andronicus are having the most uncharacteristically blog-worthy week of their 8-year career; After unleashing "Still Life with Hot Deuce and Silver Platter"'s gritty performance video Monday afternoon, frontman Patrick Stickles opened his own singing telegram service... he'll personally travel to your house and sing anything you want, besides ~~"Theme from Cheers"~~ for $50, if you live in either New York City, New Jersey, or Long Island. Then Titus Andonicus uploaded an 8-minute "stone cold sober version recorded at one in the afternoon" of Icona Pop's sugary sweet mega-hit, "I Love It." It was recently recorded at Brooklyn's own D.I.Y. Punk club and the band's unofficial headquarters, Shea Stadium.

I guess you could day Stickles went ahead and took a little bit of liberty with Icona Pop & Charli XCX's lyrics: "Fighting with the cops (I love it) / Burning down the church (I love it) / Breaking all the rules (I love it) / Smoking at the school (I love it)." I think their brutally honest Soundcloud description really puts it best, "Titus Andronicus performs the quintessential Punk song of 2013, "I Don't Care" by Icona Pop, which I think is actually called "I Love It" but that is stupid - "I Don't Care" is a much better, more Punk, more Ramones/Richard Hell/Sex Pistols-esque title... This is an affirmation, a proclamation of love, a declaration of war. We don't care. We love it." While Titus Andronicus just got off the road with Hardcore buddies The So-So Glo's (BRING BACK THE DUDES TOUR), well, they're already headed back out on the "Manifest Destiny Tour," which runs from July 14-September 25th.

[W]reckless, Topless American Youth: Lana del Rey - "Born 2 Die" (Britney Spears Birthday 30)

Lana del Rey [Lizzy Grant] effectively became 2011's "It Girl" with the release of her phenomenal debut single, "Video Games" (Stranger) . Like many struggling singer-songwriters, Grant has been signed, dropped, and significantly changed her public image since bursting onto the scene (2009). With that said, it can be assumed that Lana del Rey has collected just as many "haters" as she has avid supporters. To be perfectly honest, the only other artist I can think of that made this much commotion... garnered so much wide-spread buzz/hate and critical acclaim -- right out of the gates -- with just one track is Britney Spears . And maybe in this post- Mike musical era, that's the true synthesis of Pop Culture: Britney Lynn Spears . After months of repeated teasing and speculation, Lana del Rey 's major label debut, Born 2 Die will [finally] be released this coming Jan. 30-31, 2012. Pitchfork reports that it will feature "Off to The Ra

"Let Me Shine for You:" Lindsay Lohan for Playboy (Winter 2011-12 Leak)

Lindsay Lohan essentially embodies exactly "What NOT to Do In Hollywood :" Fame, fortune, success... sex, drugs & Rock "N" Roll . Within a fairly short period of time, Lohan somehow managed to obtain a plentiful helping of POWER @ a very young age. This gradual rise-downfall was captured on film; Between 1998-2010, she portrayed a wide array of roles across the silver screen in movies including: Mean Girls, Bobby , Herbie Fully Loaded , Georgia Rule, Machete , and Freaky Friday . Between rapid-paced film shoots, Lindsay Lohan also found time to record 2 Pop Rock albums for Casablanca , Speak (2004) and A Litter More Personal-Raw (2005). Needless to say, Lindsay Lohan has gotten roped up in a lot of troubles and woes with the law over the last 3-5 years... a vicious cycle of drugs, arrest, court, rehab, "daddy issues," jail time [Repeat]. That's the pure basics of it - But Google that shit for additional info, if necessary. Towards the end of
