God damn. Why does Lana have all these interesting and mysterious lives she has lived in her 20 something years of living and I'm just on my computer reading about them?

as a marketing and Advertising student I can say Lana is (probably)  fully aware of the principles of authenticity. The first rule of authenticity is to never proclaim yourself authentic in any way. That said every person personal experience is authentic because we are all authentic human beings, no experience is equal to different people, not even sharing the same dish at a restaurant. The experience you feel is internal and all the external is not authentic.  In that sense also no experience is really authentic , not even going to camp in the jungle since someone designed the paper map or GPS you will use and someone designed the car, bike, plane that will take you there.
 
Since music these days is treated and sold as a commodity all rules of business and society applies to art in most cultures, being US the epitome of culture sold as a commodity, as a service (Itunes...serves you music....internet serves you a music store...goes on...) authenticity and all it's sub categories (Fake - Fake ; Fake-Real; Real-Fake; Fake-Fake and Real - Real) are probably under Lana's radar since her teens...her dad been a advertiser and all and her being clearly a good advertiser and a student of human behavior is fair to assume she's fully aware the search for authenticity is doomed from the start. 
 
IMo Lana is a storyteller and she really gets into the character she's playing/writing about.

haha you're very astute. I think this is also a case of her over obsessing about authenticity.. like sometimes she acts like she doesn't care and sometimes she builds these back stories or ..whatever to make her lyrics personal/ have a deeper meaning.  She's the strangest person I've ever not known lol

I'd like to see the original Grazia source rather than this translation of a secondhand source, but assuming this describes it accurately... when exactly did she have time for a cult in between living with her boyfriend in Alabama and having a 7-year relationship with a label head?

It would explain a lot, but honestly she's probably just putting some sauce on a weird cult she spent hours reading about online as a teenager and got into. Lizzy Del Grant probably did not live in some weird commune with other teenage girls and a big charismatic "daddy" figure.
 
Do you know what UV is? a 60's/70's throwback album. Do you know what was a "thing" then? Being in a cult. She's the best fanfiction writer tho. 

honestly, she makes up so much bullshit about herself that i don't believe anything that she says unless we have proof from someone else. soz lanz

Thanks!!  I was curious as to how a tattoo artist (even one like him who is a big deal) ended up in a music video.

Lana's friend Andrei Gillott posted photos about Shamrock Social Club so I guess he's the connection

Maybe she got diarrhea

Lana probably didn't cry though

PLOT TWIST: NIGHTBOY103 IS NIGHTMARE BOY AKA BARRIE
 
OH.
 
MY.
 
FUCKING.
 
GOD.
 
Also, that OysterMag interview:
What would you do if I did write something really mean?
Nothing? I dunno [laughs], come to Australia and kill you?

I wonder if Chaerin B and Kathi are still alive

I have really bad ears so I tend to hear a lot of things wrong. I can only think of two righ now though.
 
1. National anthem - the line "keep me safe in his bell tower hotel
I heard as "keep me safe in his realm, dark will hold me" lol
 
2. Born to die- "come take a walk on the wild side"
I heard as come take a walk on water
 
I'll post more as I think

Well, not lyrics exactly, but when I heard Jimmy Gnecco (or whatever his name is) I thought he was an old time singer like Elvis or Johnny Cash...
 

Off To The Races:
 
Casinos; I'm wasted
 
Cause he knows I'm wasted

"Boarding School" original line: "While I'm blowing up as a singer"
 
omg up to this point i've always heard her sing "while im blowing a bass singer" 

jfc

Bradley having another meltdown.

funny how most of you little minions hated me, for a reason that was false, now you're all back to loving me. sad little children. Quote: @brvdleysoileau 20m
you guys gotta grow up and learn to think for yourselves

Is he being annoying on purpose now?

Wait, so her concept for this video is splashing in the water with Bradley Soileau? Why not shoot those scenes in black and white too? Shit, why not go all the way and have some exotic predator animals? Maybe even throw in a palatial estate and a bloody, fiery car accident scene to boot. For her next video she should think even further outside the box. Like portraying herself in a relationship with a world leader re-imagined as being of a different race. Or in a homosocial relationship with someone suicidal. Perhaps a massively expensive self-indulgent tryptich that even her biggest fans barely watch more than once. Or maybe just a low-budget DIY video of duck-faced selfies. You know, something completely original.
 
Recycling her lyrics is one thing, but... if there was ever a time to use that horrible language-butchering millenial expression "I can't with it" it would be now, but I just can't with it.
 
Stay tuned for my next hit thread, "Is Ultraviolence just a big rip-off of BTD-era Lana Del Rey?"

bradley looks even grosser than he did before

how is that possible

Is she trying to make him look like Kurt

Fucking Bradley, why why why
