What will be hit song of the summer?

(ArianaGrandeVevo) Ariana Grande "petal" (Progeria is a real condition, but we can lick it)

I'm not a Latina, OK? I'm a Roman

Although Airy Grande drew criticism for impolite interactions with reporters and fans in 2014 [407], she dismissed those reports as "weird, inaccurate depictions" [3]. Rolling Stone wrote: "Some may cry 'diva,' but it's also Grande just taking a stand to not allow others to control her image" [408]. In July 2015, the diva sparked controversy after being caught on surveillance video in a doughnut shop licking other peoples' doughnuts that were on display and saying, "I hate Americans. I hate America. This is disgusting," supposedly referring to the tray of doughnuts [409] and not the fat Americans who eat them. She subsequently apologized because of her strong backbone and sticking to her convictions, which are not really present. Public image my @ss! More I'm not Satanic [just because I sold my soul, which is not even a thing, so don't say that. And I don't have progeria, because I don't even know what that is, and I don't look like an old lady just out of a concentration camp, and if you say so, that's racist or antisemitic or one of those. Whatever, I don't care what you think!]

What'll be Song of Summer for 2026?

The new Ocean Way Festival of LA

Given the exigencies and erratic demands of the music industry nowadays, it is essential that one hit song be pushed to the top of the pop charts to rule each summer. A pop idol's shelf life could depend on it, or it might make an up and comer's career. This summer is tough because there's no obvious frontrunner. Taylor Swift? Yawn. Olivia Rodrigo has a new album, and everything she's done in the past has been so promising, but a runaway hit? Not to our ears, not this time, not even "drop dead" or "the cure." Does it have to be a new song? Technically not because SAINt JHN had "Roses" due to a remix that went viral on TikTok or Instagram or my littler sister's cellphone and dance class. We used to be able to rely on Lana Del Rey to kick out the summer jams.

NEW: Ocean Way Festival, Los Angeles

OC Fair music tries to outdo LA County Fair

Could pop and alt rock fans from LA and the OC ever be interested in seeing acts like Sublime, Jack White, Olivia Dean (Queen of the Summer), Khruangbin, or Coco & Breezy without a long drive through the desert stuck in traffic with building anticipation?

Goldenvoice is betting locals would. There's a new "Coachella" by the same outfit that runs the one in the desert (as well as country and Western themed Stagecoach), but this one is going to be in Santa Monica, the Ocean Way Festival.

Register for access. Tickets go on sale Thursday, July 23rd, at 11:00 am (Pacific Time). Register now to receive a presale code and link to purchase tickets. For help registering, email: register@goldenvoice.com.

Dukkha Girl: 4th of July w/ Lana Del Rey

(scorpio) "Dangerous Girl" (lyrics) starts at Min 1:33 (unreleased) by Lana Del Rey

I'm cutting my own throat chasing romance

LYRICS, DANGEROUS GIRL: He's my drugstore cowboy/ Italian alloy, classical American/ And I'm America's sweetheart/ Chic, delicious, sweet tart/ Sipping on my Diet Coke/ Singin' in the trailer park// He like my jeans tight (Yeah)/ He likes me mean, right? (Right)/ He like my long hair, corset, heels high/ We were born to kill, stripped for success/ I'm his sweet mess/ Do you love me?/ Yes, yes/ Hell yes!// Baby, I'm a four-alarm fire/ And I'm what you desire/ Like a siren in the night (Going Nero, Nero)/ Baby, you's a man on a wire/ Risking all that you got/ For the love of your life/ (You're my hero, hero)// CHORUS: Let me be your dangerous girl (4x)// He's the get-rich-quick type/ Mafioso-hit type/ Girl, I'm gonna marry him/ I'm the bad girl next door/ Baby's always wantin' more/ Buyin' diamond jewelry/ Take me to the Jersey Shore// He like my mink white (White)/ We go out all night (Night)/ We're living off the grid/ Shinin' in the crime light/ We were born to kill, best of the best/ The new Wild West/ Honey, put on that party dress/ Hell yes!// Me and my baby plannin' world domination/ Together, takin' over our fair nation/ 'Cause we're born to kill, keepin' it fresh/ Gold chain, white mesh/ Fame is the name of the game/ Yes, yes (Yes, yes, yes, yes) (Genius Lyrics)

"Music to Watch Boys To"

Am I pretty or am I actually suffering from body dysmorphia after being fat?

(Lana Del Rey) "Music To Watch Boys To" with lesbian mermaid sirens in a pool

LYRICS, MUSIC TO WATCH BOYS TO: CHORUS: (I like you a lot)/ Putting on my music while I'm watching the boys/ (So I do what you want)/ Singing some rhymes just to suffer the noise/ (Where ribbons are knots)/ Play 'em like guitars only one of my toys/ ('Cause I like you a lot)/ No holes barred, I was sent to destroy, yeah// Pink flamingoes always fascinated me/ I know what only the girls know/ Hoes with lies akin to me/ Ah, I see you're going/ So I play my music, watch you leave// CHORUS// Velveteen and living single it never felt that right to me/ I know what only the girls to know/ Lies can buy eternity/ I, I see you leaving/ So I push record and watch you leave// CHORUS// I live to love you/ And I love to love you/ And I live to love you, boy/ I live to love you/ And I love to love you/ And I live to love you, boy// Nothing gold can stay/ Like love or lemonade/ Or sun or summer days/ It's all a game to me anyway// CHORUS// Putting on my music while I'm watching the boys/ Putting on my music while I'm watching the boys (Genius)

We found the new Dukkha Girl! (WQ search)

Wisdom Quarterly's own Dukkha Girl is back (in a new incarnation after we scoured the country).

Q: DG, what will you be doing for the 250th 4th of July celebration?

Listening to a lot of Lana [Del Rey] because she really gets it.

"It"?

Dukkha, disappointment, never being satisfied or getting fulfillment out of relationships and drugs and experiences, suffering.

B', don't 'ill my vibe, clean up, eat right for abs 👀

So what you're saying is that you're a Dangerous Girl?

Pretty much, because I actually believe it. I believe we can find satisfaction and ultimate fulfillment in romantic love relationships. But you know what? It's never worked! Never.

So you mean the Buddha was right?

Why, what did he say?

He said that all existence bears "Three Marks" or characteristics: All things are impermanent, unsatisfactory (disappointing), and impersonal.

Well, I don't about impersonal, but disappointing for sure. I take it very personally. But come to think of it, they are all impermanent, too, like not even lasting till death do us part.

Why is Lana so blue, so sad, Dukkha Girl?

 

Finding the right boy: "Shades of Blue Cool"

(LanaDelReyVEVO) Daddy issues with music video maker Lana: "Shades of Cool" He unfixable!

She can't find the right relationship, but she keeps searching, and she used to have weight issues, so she's hyper-sensitive about her looks.

But, Dukkha Girl, what about "Summertime Sadness"?

What about it? It's summer; you're sad; it's pretty straight forward.

No, the big Lana Del Rey hit song, don't you want to post that one?

That is so played out! She has hundreds of better songs. No wonder Taylor Swift rips her off so much.

Why does Taylor copy Lana so much?

"Pretty When You Cry"?

(Songs Galaxy) Lana Del Rey "Pretty When You Cry" from Ultraviolence

Dysfunctional solution: Get high by the beach

(LanaDelReyVEVO) "High By the Beach"

LYRICS, HIGH BY THE BEACH: High, high/ High, high// Boy, look at you lookin' at me/ I know you know how I feel/ Lovin' you is hard, bein' here's harder/ You take the wheel/ I don't wanna do this anymore/ It's so surreal/ I can't survive/ If this is all that's real// CHORUS: All I wanna do is get high by the beach/ Get high by the beach, get high/ All I wanna do is get by by the beach/ Get by, baby, baby, bye-bye/ The truth is I never bought into your BS/ When you would pay tribute to me 'cause I know that/ All I wanted to do was get high by the beach/ Get high, baby, baby, bye-bye// Boy, look at you lookin' at me/ I know you don't understand/ You could be a bad motherfather/ But that don't make you a man/ Now you're just another one of my problems/ Because you got out of hand/ We won't survive/ We're sinkin' into the sand// CHORUS// Lights, camera, acción/ I'll do it on my own/ Don't need your money, money/ To get me what I want/ Lights, camera, acción/ I'll do it on my own/ Don't need your money, money/ To get me what I want// CHORUS// High/ High/ High/ High// Anyone can start again/ Not through love, but through revenge/ Through the fire, we're born again/ Peace by vengeance brings the end

She's our summertime girl!

She sang several songs for the film's soundtrack, including the super sexified (Hollywood vulgar but catchy) hit "Buddha's Delight," having been possessed by a devi (celestial "shining one") or earthbound asura princess ("demoness," "cast out shining one")..

OMG, TRAylor engaged, Lil Nas X felon?

Swift's not the only Nazi Barbie. Amatue, too

The news (spectacle) gets to be so much nowadays that there's no way to consume it except maybe in TikTok morsels. But that sort of chunkification is not good for the attention spans, focus, or dopamine addiction and serotonin levels in the mind. More sugar! It's almost as if some giant PR firm working on Fleet Street is bombarding us to keep us constantly distracted and spinning. That way no one notices real news items like Zionist Israel's atrocities, Trump's long history of inc3st and child s3x crim3s, the economy, the enrichment of the military-industrial complex under a leader who was supposed to be the peace candidate pulling us out of foreign involvements.

It's almost as if Zionists run the Deep State and therefore the country, with blackmailed Trump their witless victim. He has no power to stand up to anyone but fellow moles in the blue wing of his party, the Money Party, the duopoly that rules the swamp.

Now, it's onto the most important story on the planet, Princess Tay has accepted the hand of her football Beau, and NPR is at a fever pitch about it: Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce engagement cheered by brands (NPR) They're raising their voice to above a whisper. Taylor Swift talks new album on ‘New Heights’ podcast (NPR)

There's just too much snap news:

• Cardi B is in court in LA (Alhambra)
• Did you see the size of the Kelce rock? A closer look at Taylor Swift's massive [$550,000?] engagement ring 'designed' by Travis Kelce
• Some kids got shot in Catholic Church by possible LGBTQIA+ individual, 23, in Minneapolis, MN
• Two parents accidentally kill their baby then lie about it, claiming it was kidnapped before cops figure out there was no kidnapping
• Trump is covertly trying to take Greenland...

What's the most important story grabbing our attention gay demon worshipping pop rapper Lil Montero Hill Nas X getting a visit from the contract signer to make good on his deal with the devil? Maybe he should have referred to Lil Uzi Vert for advice on the wording because he's barely had a few hit songs to already be out of his gourd on drugs walking nearly naked down the streets behind Tinsel Town?

Diddy is in even BIGGER trouble? We thought Trump was ready to pardon him and his other close, personal, child molesting associates like Ghislaine Maxwell. Hulk Hogan didn't die of a heart attack from working out too much and shooting up steroids? It was a surgical disaster during an operation that killed him, medical malpractice, fourth degree negligent murder???

• Did Lil Nas X make a Deal with the Devil? (Faust) Is it possible Mr. Hill (Lil Nas X) struck a bargain with a demon from some dimension and, being tricked, is now getting his card pulled early? Say he gets sent to prison through the racist testimony of some LAPD type cops in our illegal system, and the judge sentences him severely for multiple felonies? Downcast, depressed, cheated from worldwide fame, he may unalive himself in his cell as the Devil laughs like that Ozzy song that made Black Sabbath a hit: "What is this that stands before me? Figure in black which points at me?" (lyrics)

"Old Town Road" (rejected country hit)

• Lil Nas X “Montero (Call Me By Your Name)” explained: The music video serves as a commentary on religious views on the LGBTQ community, with a gay relationship portrayed through the famous biblical Garden of Eden story. He flips the script with a descent into hell that’s viewed not as torturous but erotic. (lyrics and tracklist | Genius)

(TMZ) Exclusive: Hidden evidence from Lil Nas X nude arrest! | Ep 8/25/25

Will he make a comeback after catching charges while intoxicated and being arrested, spending a "terrifying" four days in jail and getting traumatized? It seems like only a few years ago he was living at his sister's house, being thrown out, throwing a Hail Mary pass with a song-idea combining country and rap in his breakout hit "Old Town Road." Then came the over Satanism, Illuminati behavior, overt homosexuality, and Garden of Eden themes. Did Diddy or Beyonce's hubby Mr. Carter produce this?

Trend: infantilizing girls in China

(Aina | Expat in China) Why Chinese girls want to look like children: Infantilization is the prolonged treatment of one who is not a child as though that person were a child [1]. Studies have shown that an individual, when infantilized, is overwhelmingly likely to feel disrespected. Such individuals may report a sense of transgression akin to dehumanization. It may even have a racist dimension. Infantilization is an important concept pivotal to maintaining slavery. Children of enslaved women would also be enslaved because both belonged to the master.
