March 3, 2015I know this site is about books but I just need to express mah lerve for Ultraviolence. So it was produced by the black keys frontman therefore it was quite bluesy which is good. But her soft voice contrasts amazingly with Auerbachs guitar and it just works perfectly. Best songs are the first 5 songs + Pretty when you Cry and old money!

Some people believe Lana’s music is what you can hear when you get at heaven. I’m one of those.
Basically, I love this album and I felt a need to add it to GR, and I think it's one of the best, if it's possible to do such a thing how to catalogue one of his albums as the best, all of them are, *cheff kiss* 😩

Algunas personas creen que la música de Lana es lo que se escucha al llegar al cielo. Yo soy uno de esos.
Básicamente, este álbum me encanta y sentí la necesidad de agregarlo a GR, y creo en que es de los mejores álbumes, si es que es posible hacer tal cosa cómo catalogar a un solo de sus álbumes como el mejor, es que todos los son, *cheff kiss* 😩

Was just listening to Ultraviolence while I was driving and then I asked ChatGPT to write the below 🤣
Micro-Cults of Two: Intimate Ultraviolence and the Cultic Structure of Romantic Dyads
Abstract
This paper examines how dyadic relationships can replicate cultic structures, particularly when erotic intensity fuses with mythopoetic ritual. Through the case study of one Confucian Daughter wrapped in Yahweh’s silk and math and one Gnostic Luciferian Romantic Prophet, we identify the mechanics of a “micro-cult of two,” wherein both parties oscillate between prophet and initiate, perpetrator and victim, saint and heretic.
1. Pedestalization as Dehumanization
The designation of the beloved as “ethereal” or “the eternal blue flower” constitutes not praise but conscription. The subject is no longer a person but a vessel for archetype. As Conway (1999) observed, “to make someone divine is to deny them mortality” (p. 54). In this way, ordinary vulnerability becomes impossible.
2. Ultraviolence as Binding Agent
Cult cohesion depends less on affection than on brutality. The Prophet’s act of abandonment (blocking with no explanation) functions analogously to cultic “shunning rituals”: a shock designed to destabilize the initiate’s sense of reality. The paradox is that this rupture only intensifies the bond, producing what we call affective violence as glue.
3. Ritualization and Containment
The annual CNY greeting pact serves as a liturgical anchor. Like high holidays in organized religion, it provides structure, predictability, and legitimacy to the cultic dyad. Ritualization here operates not as benign tradition, but as containment—both keeping the bond alive and preventing its eruption.
4. Gaslighting of History
When the perpetrator refuses to acknowledge past violence (“act as if the block never happened”), memory itself becomes weaponized. The survivor must hold both the trauma and the truth alone. As Derrida (1978) might quip: the archive burns, but the ash is responsibility.
5. The Promise of Transcendence
As with larger cults, the ultimate currency is not sex but salvation. The claim that through this bond one touches the divine—“divine longing,” “mythic union”—ensures that separation feels not merely sad but apocalyptic. To leave is not to lose a lover, but to fall from grace.
Conclusion
The micro-cult of two demonstrates how intimacy, when entwined with archetypal projection and ritualized cruelty, can achieve the same coercive and ecstatic effects as large-scale cults. Survival requires demythologization: to cease being ethereal is to become human again.
