paradisetropico

he was watching her show at the hangout festival with his family so they’ve been dating since may at least

Do we have a timeline of their relationship? I’m still baffled by how fast this all seemed to happen 

Finally a picture of the dress 
(stolen from LB’s bluesky account)

Just realized we never got high quality pictures of her in her wedding dress

The song is I Want to Sing by Regina Spektor which she did brief acapellas of at a few of her shows in 2014, I’m not sure if we’ve ever had any sort of evidence to suggest she ever professionally recorded this song though x

i wonder how different everything would be had she signed with sony.. 

What an info bomb to wake up to, thank you so much for sharing this, this is so interesting!

Larry Jackson speaks about getting Lana Del Rey on SNL & signing her to Interscope! 
 https://open.spotify.com/episode/7F3Xomh64jZibxbLuOhXuw?si=ca2f46102e8c4f75
 
Larry speaks about A&R and how amazing Lana Del Rey is! he helped sign her to Interscope and get her the SNL deal. calls her initially as "ah Lizzy" 
Larry and his pal John Ehmann were fired from SONY Music. John Ehmann said Larry should listen to a demo called "Diet Mtn Dew" by an artist named Lana, who Sony just passed on.  
Larry loved it! 
says he met Lana 2 months after he himself moved to Los Angeles. she came in looking like she had walked off the set of the BTD album cover! Lol. he was enthralled by her. 
Says the night before she signed w/Interscope, she got a deal from SONY UK for 2 times as much money, and she said No! and signed the next day with Interscope !!!! (our queen) 
Larrys says lana means so much to him and Interscope. He says at that point he was willing to help her do anything to help her artistic vision come to life (especially understanding that 2 times amount Sony offered was a big deal to a artist trying to make ends meet) 
He says she told him she wanted to be "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and he was sold! Ed/Ben/Lana signed officially and INterescope helped them make BTD with Emile Haynie and Justin Parker. 
BTD cost only $183,000. 
says he got an idea to write a letter to Jimmy Iovine to send to Lorne Michael of SNL about getting Lana on. 
Discussed how being an A&R is about believing in the vision when no one else does. Says the Brian Williams article was very hurtful to him and to lana (bc at the time Brian Williams was a respected journalist - which is funny now because he got fired and lost journalistic integrity for fabricating a story about jumping out of a plane in the Iraq war in 2003 _ LOL did "did anyone else die for you") 
 
Larry talks a bit more about how she and Chief Keef at such important musical figures who have shaped music and provided a breath of fresh air to a time of stagnant music. 
 
Larry says he felt extremely motivated after SNL and so did Lana.

He says she told him she wanted to be "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and he was sold! Ed/Ben/Lana signed officially and INterescope helped them make BTD with Emile Haynie and Justin Parker. 
BTD cost only $183,000. 
says he got an idea to write a letter to Jimmy Iovine to send to Lorne Michael of SNL about getting Lana on. 
Discussed how being an A&R is about believing in the vision when no one else does. Says the Brian Williams article was very hurtful to him and to lana (bc at the time Brian Williams was a respected journalist - which is funny now because he got fired and lost journalistic integrity for fabricating a story about jumping out of a plane in the Iraq war in 2003 _ LOL did "did anyone else die for you") 
 
Larry talks a bit more about how she and Chief Keef at such important musical figures who have shaped music and provided a breath of fresh air to a time of stagnant music. 
 
Larry says he felt extremely motivated after SNL and so did Lana.

Larry speaks about A&R and how amazing Lana Del Rey is! he helped sign her to Interscope and get her the SNL deal. calls her initially as "ah Lizzy" 
Larry and his pal John Ehmann were fired from SONY Music. John Ehmann said Larry should listen to a demo called "Diet Mtn Dew" by an artist named Lana, who Sony just passed on.  
Larry loved it! 
says he met Lana 2 months after he himself moved to Los Angeles. she came in looking like she had walked off the set of the BTD album cover! Lol. he was enthralled by her. 
Says the night before she signed w/Interscope, she got a deal from SONY UK for 2 times as much money, and she said No! and signed the next day with Interscope !!!! (our queen) 
Larrys says lana means so much to him and Interscope. He says at that point he was willing to help her do anything to help her artistic vision come to life (especially understanding that 2 times amount Sony offered was a big deal to a artist trying to make ends meet)
