It doesn't surprise me that she has chosen this title. It just reflects the last two years of her career. She used to say everything was nice and easy, but since VG came out everything has changed for better and, equally, worse. Ultraviolence is the perfect title, I'm looking forward to listening to her ultraviolent swing.

And honestly, I think she puts out a new album so early on because of the terms of her contracts... Am I the only one?

Ultraviolence = noun, ultraviolent = adjective.
They mean the same thing.

Hmm, I have been doing a little less Lana sleuthing overall this year...

Some of you saw an earlier version of this already, and I was originally going to post this when Tropico would go live on Vevo but I just wanted to show everyone because I worked hardcore on it! I might make a sequel to this poster since there are so many visuals in the film I want to play with. Let me know what you think.

I know it's really big, but it's worth the details.
 

but it's called Ultraviolence not Ultraviolent

90% of them will regret getting those impulsive tattoos one day or another, probably sooner than they think.
I love Lana but I will NEVER get a tattoo from her monologue - not to even mention her face - on my body.
Tattoos are meant to be forever and should have a meaning, to me only Angelina Jolie's tattoos have a sense (her kids, cambodian prayers for her son, "know your rights") because she's committed to these people and actions. Lady Gaga's unicorn?  

I found a bunch of old Lake Placid News (LPN), Adirondack Daily Express (ADE), Plattsburgh Press-Rebulican (PPR) articles archived as black and white PDF scans that mention Lizzy, some with photos of her:
 
 
 
Here's a rundown of the rest of the references:
 
Involvement in Sports
Skiing. "Lately, the students of St. Agnes School have accomplished a lot out of school. Many SAS students particpated recently in some exciting ski races: NYSEF World Cup race for JV (ages 7-10). Placings are as follows... Elizabeth Grant 20th". January 25, 1995 LPN Sports page box score showing her run time and placing ("8. Elizabeth Grant   44.33") in the Ed Damp Junior V World Cup. March 12, 1996 PPR
"The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) held its annual family race and picnic for participants in the.series last Saturday, at which time the final standings were released... Elizabeth Grant (259)... Completed the top 10." March 23, 1996 ADE
Skating. "The following scholarships have been awarded by the Skating Club of Lake Placid to the skaters named below... $50 scholarships for ice or lessons... Elizabeth Grant." March 27, 1997 ADE Softball. She played center fielder for her middle school team. "Elizabeth grant [sic] OF-C". April 10, 1998 LPN Involvement in Other Extra-curricular Activities
Choir. "The Lake Placid High School (LPHS) concert started off with the chorus singing 'Psallite'. They song many traditional Christmas Carols [sic]. The chorus personnel are... Elizabeth Grant". March 7, 2000 LPN "After the Women's Ensemble it was the high school chorus' time to shine... Medley from 'Les Miserables' had many soloists, such as... Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN
What song do you think she sang?
Performed in a variety show (as well as Chuck and Charlie). June 23, 2000 LPN Secretary of the high school Key Club. "On Tuesday May 9, the Key Club members welcomed new leadership... Congratulations also go to the new secretary. Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN Staff of the Blue Times Bomber, the school newspaper which appears to have been an insert in the Lake Placid News. January 28, 2000  March 17, 2000 LPN  June 23, 2000 LPN Confirmation. "On Sunday afternoon. May 21, at 4:30 p.m.. Bishop Gerald Barbarito, bishop of Ogdensburg, came to Lake Placid and confirmed more than 50 people from area Roman Catholic churches, including St Agnes... It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony, with the church's altars and pillars decked in red, the bishop in his red chasuble (robe), wearing his miter on his head and holding his staff in hand. On the altar, dozens of red roses arranged in large vases added to the festive atmosphere. The 17 Lake Placid young people, all dressed in white robes, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of confirmation included... Elizabeth Grant". May 26, 2000 LPN Honor Roll
 
There are also many articles that list her on the honor roll:
Grade 7, High Honors. January 9, 1998 LPN  February 13, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 ADE  March 30, 1998 PPR  May 29, 1998 ADE  June 9, 1998 ADE  June 19, 1998 LPN  July 31, 1998 PPR Grade 8, Honors. March 5, 1999 LPN  March 8, 1999 ADE  March 12, 1999 LPN  May 7, 1999 LPN Grade 8, High Honors. June 18, 1999 LPN  July 20, 1999  July 23, 1999 LPN Grade 9, Honors. December 24, 1999 LPN  December 31, 1999 LPN  January 28, 2000 LPN This establishes pretty well that she started 9th grade in the fall of 1999. Unless you skip a grade, kids are 14 or 15 when they begin 9th grade (or at least turn 14 shortly after it begins). If Lizzy was really born in 1986 as she claims, she would have just turned 13 the summer before.   
 
Family Members
 
There's also a lot of articles mentioning other members of her family. I didn't spend a ton of time looking at those, but they appear to be mostly about her parents' efforts to organize opposition to a development project (Lake Placid does really remind me of Twin Peaks sometimes) for classic NIMBY reasons, her dad's real estate listings, and Chuck and Charlie's sports exploits (including a huge fish she caught).
 
However, this article describes in greater detail her dad's furniture company mentioned in that Domain Name Journal profile on him and this article gives more background on her family's ownership of "God Bless America" singer Kate Smith's home-- which Lizzy mentioned in this article and was the inspiration for the original title of AKA-- and their attempts to sell it at a large profit rather than an affordable price for the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation who wanted to turn it into a museum.

The end of Lana Del Rey and the revival of Lizzy Grant? Married Lizzy with husband, children and no more music? Who knows, she says lots of weird stuff. Let's wait and see.

TROLOL I have to agree with Sitar, this is fucked-up... but being honest w/ you, I have already had imagined that. I remember seing a picture of her and one of her friend on tumblr, then I saw the pic of her w/ that little girl from NA. I thought, "how cute are they, they have the same smile... Oh imagine she had a child,.. " And then my imagination went wild again. :smiles:

Thank you for your help! Your the one and only ear able to decipher Lana's mumbling. lol
I am waiting for some suggestion for the still-missing parts.
 
 
You're right it's not from the BB's Moi Je Joue, I think she wrote these lines in English then translate them in French by herself or via Google translate.
Those lines are very Lana like lyrics, it also has some syntax mistakes "Toi et le soleil, pareil !" it's very simple french, native speaker will say that (unless you're 3 or learning french).
 
On the other hand BB's lines may seem plain but are actually complex and smart play on words, most people wouldn't even know what it means.
Serge Gainsbourg was a master in song writing.

I love Lana but I will NEVER get a tattoo from her monologue - not to even mention her face - on my body.
Tattoos are meant to be forever and should have a meaning, to me only Angelina Jolie's tattoos have a sense (her kids, cambodian prayers for her son, "know your rights") because she's committed to these people and actions. Lady Gaga's unicorn?

From the horse's mouth, she had a chorus for "Young & Beautiful" and didn't write the rest of the song until after she was given the Daisy assignment. Does this disqualify her for the Grammys?

God, after reading those 7 pages I started to wonder why am I a fan of hers...
*I love Lana, I'm a fan of hers, trying to remember*
 
My unpopular opinion of her:
 
She comes across boring in interview, she always says the same things, sometimes it feels like I'm listening to a record on repeat.
 
Her song writing skills like her live performances are inconsistent - she can do great but she can also do bad.
 
Some of her comments may seem shallow "I just like gold, diamonds and fur".
 
LDR might have been just an exotic and beautiful name at first, but the more it goes the more she's building up a persona because..
 
 
.. She's a stubborn, she said things in the past and will never admit that some of it were BS - we got to live w/ that *till the end of time*.
 
Other than that I really like her. Her weirdness and all the thing I said above are what makes her human and likable. Perfection doesn't exist and is boring if it does. I always cringe when someone says she's perfect.
