LANA AND CRYSTAL CASTLES' ALBUMS IN NOVEMBER.

:smiles:

I think the real question is, will...
 

 
...be in the advertisement with Lana?!

I completely agree! Blue Velvet has made me realize how much I miss some songs from BTD, I haven't payed the album much attention in a while since there are so many good demos/unreleased songs of Lana's. I really look forward to hearing the rerelease now though.

I miss her wavy, brunette hair. She'd best have it back for the iTunes Festival next week.

Hell no you did not!

Lucky ass who's going to see Crystal Castles. :imbeingsarcasticbitch2:

Honest, witty and very funny.

I think it's this one.

Congratz hun ;'))!!

OMG, thank you for taking you time to do this!!!
I have been so busy with exam!!!
And, congratzz to CC, i know you will have you time to shine your moment!!! :love:

i heard that, too...it's so ridiculous, right? Like 26 is the second half of your twenties so you're too close to 30? :/ It's so dumb to make her lie about being just ONE year younger, when these days it's so easy to find out the truth, and, really, this discrepancy wasn't too hard to come by...In fact, the little lies are what made fans sleuth around (more than they would've if the past hadn't been attempted to be altered or hidden)!
Sam Gho, that is some detective work! You may be onto something. I do think that Jimmy was more than a fling, or maybe it was just that but it was meaningful because perhaps it was the first relevant relationship she had after K. The timeline of her musical output would suggest that she was with Jimmy in 2005 or early 2006, as in the 2006 WLSC Songwriting Contest she first wrote and performed "Pawn Shop Blues", which in a later interview she insinuated was about Jimmy (someone she met at a self-help group - AA - and that was a kind of famous rock star). "Yayo" is about Jimmy for sure, because she posted it to his Facebook wall, dedicated to him, so I think they may have been on and off till 2007. She has also said that Bradley Soileau was chosen because he resembled the guy she was singing about, and he looks a lot like Gnecco. Of course, in the past she has stated that she mixes things up in her lyrics, so that, of course, isn't a guarantee. (At times, she probably combines lyrics about different people in one song.) I also suspect she had a little fling with Van Wilson, the A&R from 5 Point Records, cuz remember in her first Pitchfork interview she said the strangest place she ever wrote a song was in a basement or office after - or while! - making out with a handsome record executive? and he is pretty cute:

After that I suspect she may have been involved with Reeve Carney, but I too consider that her relationship with Mike Mizrahi was truly signficant and important.
Anyway, I don't know if there is any basis to my assumptions, but here are my two cents, anyway ^_^

The possibility that Lana might be a year older than what was known widely, for some reason bothers me. The discrepancy is so small that I don’t see any advantage for Lana to unnecessarily lie about it. However as I think about it more, I think I have come up with a possible explanation.
 
One of the most mysterious parts of Lana’s past to me has been the time she spent in Alabama. She has mentioned this consistently beginning with her early interviews and I think it is true. However nothing else in her background really makes sense to explain a sojourn to Alabama. Except that if viewed in a certain way, it probably does make a lot of sense.
 
I think when Lana got into high school in Lake Placid she met a guy who was bad news all around (the mysterious K). I think this is the guy who got her into alcohol and probably drugs later. However her drinking freaked out her parents who sent her to boarding school, mainly to get her away from this guy. However I am sure she kept meeting him, despite her parents opposition, e.g. when she came back home for vacations etc. After she finished school, I think her parents really wanted her to break off this relationship, but instead I think she ran away with this guy to Alabama. Instead of going to college she spent a year with this guy down in Alabama, where this guy kept getting into more and more trouble. This scenario would explain many of her lyrics (being on the run, Officer Brown checking on them, kids living the dark side of the American dream etc., there are many, many references in many songs that fit such a scenario), until this guy finally got caught and sent to prison. Not sure he got the death sentence (it’s too melodramatic, but a long prison sentence is as good as dying), and maybe he is still in prison. She said in an interview that he was still around and she was in touch with his mother, with would also be consistent with him being in prison. Anyway, once he got sent away she woke up and came back home, and finally joined Fordham.
 
However, this scenario means that there is a year missing in her life. So for her friends from high school, her years in Fordham would be a year off. I think she realized in early interviews that this was likely to raise more questions later, instead it was easier to just to pretend that she had come to Fordham straight from Lake Placid. She has always been very reticent to speak about her time before NY probably for this reason. This was probably evident in the Complex interview where the interviewer had picked up some discrepancies about her age. Like many things, once you lie about something, even something very small and inconsequential, it becomes difficult to backtrack later. Therefore, according to the scenario I have laid out, she graduated from high-school in 2003, spent about a year with K in Alabama, and joined Fordham in Fall 2004.
 
I also think that most of her songs are about K, although she does not name him (she hints at that in her My Space interview, where she says her songs are always about the same guy). I think she developed a crush on Jimmy Gnecco once she met him in NYC clubs, but if anything it was a short fling (even though she wrote a few songs about it). Jimmy however exposed her to being attracted to older men, but I don’t think she had any significant relationship until she met Mike Mizrahi (early 2009). Some of the songs that refer to old guys probably are written to him, and songs like Afraid, Damn You are definitely in reference to her breakup with him. However, I think she still obsesses about K, and that might make her a difficult person to have a long-term relationship with (although I hope I am wrong, and I really wish she finds a great guy to be with).
 
I spend way too much time thinking about such stuff, gotta stop!

Awesome! Thanks so much everyone(:

Crystal Castles!


 

Since when have you been a fan of Lana? - I knew of her in August last year, but I became a proper fan round about December.



Why do you like her so much? Why are you a fan? - I'm a fan of Lana because of her 1950s Americana imagery. She's also such a sweetheart and her songs have a deep connection with me.
What is your dream job? - To be a record producer.
What are your hobbies? - I play the piano, sing, music edit, do photography and editing, read, aromatherapy and spiritual things.
What is your favorite day of the year? Why? - June the 20th because it's the Summer Solstice.
What are your three top songs from Lana? - Come When You Call Me America, Kill Kill and Playing Dangerous.
What other artists do you like, besides Lana? - Crystal Castles, White Ring, Passion Pit, Ellie Goulding, etc.
Is there something you wanna say to people that voted for you? - That I feel really honoured and I'm glad that people like me on here! And big hugs


 

Congratulations to Crystal Castles.



If you would like to be next week's Member Of The Week, then all you have to do is keeping posting interesting, fun & informative posts and the staff of LanaBoards might nominate you for the public vote.

Well, kids have probably seen it 1000x on the street anyway by complete strangers. It's down to parents to set examples to their kids - not Lana Del Rey (or any other celebrity). If David Bowie can smoke on stage, Lana Del Rey can too.

In "Yayo," I could have sworn she was singing "You have to tape me right now from this dark trailer park life now"

I'll give my vote to Crystal Castles. She seems like a gorgeous girl, I'd really like to get to know her better.

Aw thank you so much! :love:

Why? I think photos are more personal than music videos and song leaks, tbh. She made the songs and videos to be seen or heard, the photos are private

I think I'm the only person that doesn't like Go Go Dancer. Idk what it is about it, I just don't like it. I do love Daddy Issues though.
