eb vs Ervin

Here's Lana del Rey with 'Kinda Outta Luck'

Lana Del Rey is known for her melancholy, often slow music with many references to romance. While her popular Born to Die album includes hits like the title track, "Video Games", and "Summertime Sadness", she also uploaded a banger that didn't make it onto the commercial release. This homemade video has various movie clips including the intro, and while that moves at the familiar pace, you can start to tell our Jezebel protagonist in this song is about to fly off the rails and have herself a wickedly good time.

Here's The Sneaker Pimps with 'Low Place Like Home'

The Sneaker Pimps are known for their mid-1990s hit "6 Underground" (and to a lesser extent "Spin Spin Sugar").

I loved those, but here's the best song on the album: an incredible melding of trip-hop and rock.

This is tougher than I was expecting. At first glance I was expecting to go with the second song but the LDR song grew on me and the TSP song kinda left me waiting for it to start.

Might have to go back and listen again.

ETA/ Yep. LDR for me. TSP sounded like something that should have been on an episode of Buffy The Vampire Slayer. Now I loved that show but the music was...not good.

That Lana del Rey song was more fun than I expected, but I'm not a huge fan of her sound. I've been meaning to check out some more Sneaker Pimps for like 25 years now and was not at all disappointed.

waiting for it to start

it gets there though

KOL gets tired like halfway through, while LPLH just keeps growing and feeding

I have listened to LPLH dozens of times, and when we get into it here I'm still like "yeah"

I don't see KOL achieving this, despite the girl having a really cool voice

ETA: snippet by snippet, KOL wins by a lot

Im a Lana fan but can't say that's one of her best. The other one made me want to check out the other songs from the artist that I either don't know or don't remember.

If my research was correct, KOL was a category fail anyway.
