CatchTheBreeze

No the first time I discovered she once was called Lizzy Grant wasn't until late 2011. When I first saw the "Diet Mtn Dew" demo on Youtube in 2010 the song was posted already under her Lana Del Rey moniker.

Btw especially Die Zeit not that often does inteviews with "pop stars", they like to focus more on "high culture" like jazz, classic, literature... So I think it's pretty cool that Lana's music obviously has enough depth to catch the interest of these guys. :-)

Actually Der Spiegel and Die Zeit are pretty important magazines in Germany... (Die Zeit being the biggest or 2nd biggest weekly newspaper over here) But it would be interesting to know if Lana really "dictates" the questions before an interview...!

Yeah and it would be nice if an interviewer read at least a few other interviews that were done with Lana before he's talking to her so he could think of some new questions - not always the "authentic" issue or how she feels about journalists critisizing her music.

Actually I first stumbled upon her "Diet Mtn Dew" demo on Youtube in May 2010 (can't remember how I discovered it, probably by a mention in a music blog). I really liked the sound and look of it, shared it with a few music loving friends of mine who were impressed too so we got hooked to her music. I was following her releases ever since.
