There’s two periods in the history of the planet. No, sweetheart, nothing to do with Jesus Christ’s crucifixion or the dinosaurs dying or anything like that (Catholicism is sick). No, no, none of that, although the marker of time in question does have to do with death, or, rather, our predisposition to dying. I’m talking of course about the release of Lana Del Rey’s seminal debut album, Born to Die, perhaps the most important cultural release since the seventh Harry Potter came out. No, this changed everything, and today we bring seasoned Lanatian scholar Callie to the podcast to dissect the masterpiece track by track. Enjoy, Little Babblers.
