Wednesday Wrap Up: No Del-Rey About It

Ok, so as promised yesterday I am going to stop – er, try to stop – posting about the songstress who as of late has made the front page of Tragic Kingdom and taken up lots of space in your RSS Feed. So… I won’t mention that her album hit number one more than 11 countries upon its digital release and I won’t explain that critics are beginning to back track on their post-SNL tongue lashings. No, I refuse to do it.

Instead however, there’s lots of other relevant news going on this week in music… right?
