i'm sorry but them listing his tattoos makes me choke
 
"
TATTOO RIGHT LEG VAGINA W/ FIST & WINGS  " 
 
in more relevant news, he was arrested in 2011 for domestic charges. I wonder if that has any part of bel air 'bad baby, you've got a flair, for the violent-est kind of love anywhere out there"

Re: Steven Mertens, I can't remember if someone has found this yet.  Interview with Spacecamp, which Mertens played bass/vocals in
 
SPACECAMP: Ok this is an awesome question. You know that girl Lana Del Ray? She has about 6,455,290,001 hits on Youtube with her song "Video Games." Well, we were her back up band once cuz her and Steven used to make-out sometimes, for like a year. Well, turns out it wasn't him, it wasn't him, it wasn't all for him cuz she wanted to make-out with someone else one week. I mean look at her. If you had those lips you would want to press them up against a lot of stuff. I would too. So one day Steven comes to practice and tells us he's a bit down cuz he's wondering where she and her mouth had gone off to the night before. I told him he didn't want to know. He agreed and we all started laughing and jamming and we wrote that African influenced song Alibi about Lana and Steven. They're friends now and laugh and joke about where their lips have been.
JK, it's about our friend Lizzy who is a friend of Carly's. She's been looking for an apartment for about three years and her parents are starting to get worried. So we wrote a song for her parents.

Ugh.. Xcuse another one of my ridiculous posts but I need an outlet and this is fun sOOOOoooo buckle up kittens + add ur input!
 

 

aww lol

(to an old band mate)

When she was "first signed" a likely story, John.. if that is your real name..
 


that would've been a cool fucking title tbh. maybe for the 2nd album?

Can't tell if this is real or not.. the blurriness makes it a bit sketchy but I've heard others talk about it before!
 
Someone also once called her ugly on her facebook and she said "I like being ugly. It's fun." tryna find it!

God Bless America
 

 
When she used ta go out with fans..
 

 
Sad about Amy
 

On the Fordham web page, apparently Lana didn't complete her degree (at least not at Fordham)
 

Interesting interview~ http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/radar-band-of-the-week-no62-lana-del-rey
 
Some excerpts:
 
Blinking under heavy lashes and auburn curls, she laughs when NME asks about the rumours. “I’m not a trapeze artist! Though I was born on the day of the worldly rapture, June 21.” (TPD note- referring to her old Myspace about me)
 
“I would move people, paint houses, wear sports jackets for pictures in truck magazines. It felt like fighting for survival for such a long time. No money, no place to live – I’ve been in more dangerous situations than other people,” she says, cagily.  (referring to her Craigslist jobs- God, we gotta find those truck mags!!!! I look for you in magazines) 
 
Believe It Or Not: Lizzy’s good pals with Marina, who she met over Twitter and bonded with over a love of American culture.

Pop up record store in brooklyn. I don't think lizzy performed or even attended b/c she wasn't on the set list but her picture hung on the wall and an album was apparently available for purchase
 

 
and this just makes me laugh

the assemblies of God seems like a v good possiblity! From the looks of it, it can be done on a larger scale, like a huge church service
 
Lizzy said she always goes on sundays to AG, assembly of God's calender - Prison Sundays /Mission Sundays and they also hold addiction groups, and maybe this is how she got involved w/ homeless outreach. there was one near soho that I found, on east broadway but I guess she was going in London..hmm

"Anyway, the other day, Lizzy Posted an urgent plea to all her Facebook friends to please not accept any interviews from people trying to dig up dirt on her. This was shortly after the Saturday Night Live debacle and, honestly, I can’t imagine what kinda hell this girl was going through."
 

 
"she looked like a pinup model straight out of the trailer park" so amazingly accurate 
 
It's gr8 that even tho that guy was sort of miffed w/ how things turned out w/ the way they worked together he still couldn't find a bad thing to say about her. 

some interesting tidbits from older S moda interview (this isn't really sleuthing but I'm really bored)
 
Hard to find your hometown, Lake Placid. It is very small, just 2,000. No great city. I imagine it kind of like Twin Peaks.
Yes, exactly like Twin Peaks. I was hoping to get out and get to New York because that felt like heaven. I liked going to the corner store and having a man tell you [in Spanish], “Hello beautiful, how are you? 
 
Do you have time to see real-life friends?
I have a small group of friends that have nothing to do with music. My friends are good girls, with their feet on earth. One works in real estate, one at Bloomingdale’s, another is head of marketing … Miss them.
 
What do you think about the mainstream divas, Beyoncé, Rihanna …?
Never commented that subject. It’s hard for me, everything I say is taken out of context. Too bad you asked me! The interview had gone so well so far …
 
You always felt different?
Yes, always. So I wanted to study philosophy. I was overwhelmed by the world and I hallucinated things of concern to other people: what do we do now, where do we go on vacation?, Do you like my shoes? I, however, was always looking for a guide, a sign, a higher power.
 
 
^^ sry but that just comes across as so holier than thou

crying @ lana possibly being a stage five clinger/stalker
 
celebrities, they're just like us 

This is really cool. That part about the fig newton was so cute.. seems like Patty was a bit of a pageant mom, huh?? 
 
I loved seeing all this, she seemed like she was the town's little darling. Makes her seem more normal...even if she was a teen Abercrombie model and grew up in Kate Smith's home hahaha. Also interesting to see how extensive her religious background was! 

Get Drunk & Motel 6 (Studio) stream of consciousness
 
I'm thinking that Motel 6 is about Arthur Lynn.. like someone mentioned before. Baby, you can buy me Diet Mt Dew; in the spotlight we see Jim & Chuck.. thinking more and more that Lizzy was originally with Arthur but Jimmy caught her eye..
 
However, Diet Mt Dew + Greenwich + Motel 6 are all probably about the same person, and I was thinking Greenwich + Diet Mt Dew were about Mike, given that Lana talked about making a trip to Greenwich on her FB around the time she was with Mike and when the song may have been written. 
 
Aw, shit. Edit: Just found a location on Arthur in Greenwich, CT!!
  And then who is Bill that Arthur referenced in his blog (entitled Diet Mt Dew)? Is it possible that Jimmy was actually dating Chuck and Lana just thought he was hot? (This doesn't seem as likely in my opinion- for some reason I picture Chuck going for a square guy) I don't know if I believe Reeve and Lizzy were anything more than a friendship, either.  
 
 
Then there is also "Get Drunk"... which friendship is this about?? Nick Fowler & Arthur Lynn, Arthur Lynn & Jimmy Gnecco, or Jimmy Gnecco & Reeve?  Possibly Chuck & Lizzy?  (Long shot but Reeve and Chuck are still pretty close- maybe Lizzy slept with Reeve/Jimmy to Chuck's dismay?)  Or none of the above?  Personally, I think it is about Nick and Arthur.. especially if "A Star for Nick" is really entitled that (who knows?) .. sort of gives the idea that someone got her into dark things, and she knew he was never going to help her get where she wanted.  Also, the way I found those pictures of Lana pre-nose job was on Nick's site.. and he still keeps them up. Seems kind of strange, given that Lana has consciously tried to keep these kinds of things from surfacing. It's under an album called "Lana Del Rey.. when she was still called Lizzy Grant" .. kind of seems like he's not coming from a nice place with that.
  Arthur (pictured below) has had nothing but nice things to say about Lana (is that Jimmy on Lizzy's hat? Or Nick? So many broody musicians) since.  Can't forget that some of Lana's inspirations were also in Arthur's pictures i.e. Diamond Dave, Axl Rose, Bruce Springsteen, Elvis, and even Britney Spears. Def. think that's the guy Lana was talking about who showed her about music.. if she didn't have a TV in the home, I guess she'd need somebody 2 educate her. (Not to mention he has a million Americana/flag pics) Too many possibilities but I find it all very interesting. We are the sum of our experiences and the people we meet. 
 
Arthur's listed interests on one site: music, girls, guitars, america, diet mountain dew, van halen, ice cream, photography, jersey, angiescreams, indian summer, woods, food, freckles, the sun, the moon, seasons, amplifiers, family, friends, karma, october, yo mama, yo mama's apple pie, and those little people we call doggies
 
Still wondering if any songs could be about Jeff Buckley, since her, Jimmy, and Reeve all love(d) his music, Jimmy was his friend before he died, and Reeve is/was supposed to play him in a biopic, etc etc.. sigh.
 
Could "Ray" be Ray Gillen? Too Lazy to go look up lyrics to Mermaid Motel but it kinda fits Diamond Dave and Ray Gillen  We all know how Lana loves her dead musicians. (Who doesn't?)  And he was in Arthur's inspirational pictures, as well.  I will also note that Ray was part of a super group called "Phenomena", which is where (I think) the name Lizzy+ the Phenomena came from. Lana also had Ray Gillen's fan site as her top friends on many of her Myspace accounts. (Lana and Arthur actually have the same top celebrity friends..)
 
I can see her singing to these guys in her songs.. kinda like RAY RAISE ME UP, help me out here!!

Singer- songwriter Fiona Apple McAfee Maggart burst into the scene with her first commercial hit 'Criminal' in 1996. Her musical style is described as jazz/alternative rock.
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FFOzayDpWoI
 
"Her songs are not afraid to get ugly, painful, and even in the most musically accessible moments, there's a touch of dissonance to make everything slightly uncomfortable." - Complex Magazine
 
Over the course of 17 years, Fiona Apple has released only four albums: 
 
Tidal (1996), When the Pawn... (1999), Extraordinary Machine (2005), and The Idler Wheel... (2012)

Although she is heavily regarded as a mysterious and reclusive person (she disappeared entirely from the entertainment scene for six years between her second and third albums), Fiona Apple is also known for her outspoken and unapologetic nature in her music and with the public. 
 
"This world is bullshit. And you shouldn't model your life over what we think is cool and what we're wearing and what we're saying and everything. Go with yourself." - Fiona Apple, accepting a MTV award in 1997
 

 
 
For anyone who hasn't read it, I recommend reading her full Rolling Stone interview from 1998.  Even if you aren't a huge fan, it gives a lot of insight to Fiona's lyrics and complex personality.

This article by Complex is great, as well
 
http://www.complex.com/music/2012/06/the-fearlessness-of-fiona-apple

this is a nice interview, so tired of the born to die question though
 
"I think my shyness and my nervousness already became visible in some of my performances. I'm still learning how to deal with that. I keep telling myself to relax on stage, try to feel the music and not to think in what is around me."
 
aww

Post whatever you find about Lana/Lizzy/Lizzi/Lizzie/May on the internet here or just random tidbits people have told you about Lana that you do not have sources for here.

Basically a good way to do it is to search one of her many names and change the year range via google. If you are looking to talk about things that you believe are true/theorize about Lana's life/inspirations/lyrics, see *LANANALYSIS* ..this is just a place to talk about stuff that has been found online/ information that may be true, may not be, who knows.

Not an old interview really, but it's one of my favorites. She seems to share more with GQ Randomly saw this picture of a guy named "Ray" next to Lizzy.. probably just a coincidence but interesting nonetheless!
