A cherry. Before that: A cherry stem. ~Tying cherry knots~ Couldn't do it though

How cute, she's recreating scenes from the original Off to the Races video. These kinda girls were featured towards the end. http://www.dailymotion.com/video/xnbu28_lana-del-rey-off-to-the-races_music#.UdMpffnxpSE In the Y&B video she also recreated the conductor scene from the Video Games footage. So nice to see her making her visions come alive:)

The conspiracies are over 9000!

Coincidence? Simba Lombardi Josh Rachlin K? Jesus? My fanwank-radar is pinging.

It had to happen. Someone did a mashup of Lana and the Weeknd. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osu3sR9CjdU A bit messy but that drugged out chorus totally works for me ...

Yesss! I never know when it's gonna happen, but sure enough all of a sudden when listening to Born to Die I have a revelation about how beautiful and innovative it really is. I honestly believe that BTD is gonna be one of those generation-defining albums that will get mentioned in music history books in 50+ years and I feel lucky to for once be alive and witness such a career unfold.

Oh well, you learn something new everyday ps. I don't think Lana looks like an unerect penis or fat, just a ~grown woman~

OT: All this talk about being flaccid made me google it cause English isn't my first language and...the image results were...like..dicks. So many dicks. I'm very confused.

I hear it too. I think it's just an honest mistake, her mixing up the words "honey" and "can you" . It's a very sketch-like demo, the pianist messes up too earlier.

If you love Daft Punk check out Le Knight Club. It's Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo from Daft Punk and another french guy making dope filter house. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_G3G3DaQO-M

Accurate depiction of their genetics:

Intense!

I agree with you on this one, I just felt like the thread had taken a harsh turn and needed some love. I guess Lana is one of those celebrities that one can feel very attached to. She has had struggles. her lyrics are very personal, she's quirky and a little awkward and most of all she adores her fans. I can't blame anyone for growing fond and even protective of her persona to th point of ignoring her flaws. I don't think you'll find anyone defending Phil Spector (to use Monickers example) on a forum because he doesn't have that sweetheart-persona. I understand that feeling, I really do, but it shouldn't be an excuse for stalling a critical discussion of Lana though.

As a newbie I would just like to say that it's fricking fantastic to find a place like this where so many people care so much about Lana that they wanna discuss her even if it means that the debate gets a little heated. Lana is like a beautiful clock. Showing the time is the primary function that makes us appreciate it, nothing will change that, but every now and then you might get curious how it looks on the inside, what makes it tick. So you open up the clock and starts poking around inside. And I guess that's what we're all trying to do here, open up Lana and poke around and I'm right now realizing how my metaphore is backfiring grossly. As we can't open up Lanas mind and get all the answers we try our best dissecting what she says and does, and sometimes we find something that's not as pretty as we expected, and I think it's ok to talk about it. Of course there's a line where curiosity becomes way too scrutinizing, but that line differs from person to person, and so we get this heated debate. At the end of the day we still don't know Lana, but we're having a good discussion and we all love what she does. And Lana? She's probably laughing all the way down to the bank right now so there's that.

The things I'd do to hear a whole Lana album of hip hop influenced songs, like Off to the Races. It would just work on so many levels, though I don't doubt that some fans would hate it with a passion.

Had forgotten all about this one, it's DOPE. Lana del Trap<3<3 I wish he had made a seperate remix in the style of the first 25 seconds though, it's so beautiful.

OK maybe it didn't explain as much as confirm some suspicions I had. I always wondered whether her many references to faith, God and praying meant that she was actually an active member of a church, going to services on a regular basis, believing in God as fact and the likes, and something didn't really add up. But I get the feeling from her answers that there's a strong element of philosofy and aesthetic to her faith like with everything else about her. Like the beauty and stillness of a church would be more important to her faith than reading the Ten Commandments. She's not as much of a literal believer as she has come off as sometimes. I hope that makes sense.

Her beef with US stems from the fact that no one there cared until she already had a name in Europe. The bulk of her succes and charting took place in UK, France and Germany etc. She always talks about Europe welcoming her with open arms. But it would suit her to lay off the attitude as she now has a very dedicated fanbase in the US who make it possible for her to have a carreer there as well.

A lot of good new ones! I found this yesterday and I'm in love: Born to Die, Monsieur Adi remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77O6cuIiG24 So chilled out and the new chords are amazing! (His summertime sadness remix on the other hand is quite..different. Let me just say that there are rapid handclaps. Someone might just start twerking to that sh*t.)

I know there's a thread already with a list of all the remixes but I don't think there's one for discussing our favourites. Finding a really good remix is almost like finding a brand new Lana song imo. Video Games, Balam Acab Remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vpq5eRBkC1k Fun fact: I asked Balam Acab why he used her live vocals for the track and expected some really deep answer about how she sounds more fragile and stuff, but turns out he only used them because it was the closest thing to an acapella track he could find at the time. Overthink much. Video Games, Joy Orbinson Remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLeakz7eiug Took me a while to get into it but now it's a steady on my playlist. Really cool futuristic vibe. Ride, Active Child Remix http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jf165Bwiqqc If the word swag wasn't so overúsed I would say that this track has it. Share your favourite :)

You said it very well. I don't think it's that she's stupid or playing a role as such, but more the fact that her mind works in the least academic way possible. Taking a step back, logically examinating facts and drawing a conclusion is just not the way she examines the world. Everything in Lanas world revolves around Lana, to the point that she can't make a statement about health care reforms without pointing back to herself and how she feels. In short she's good at talking about how she feels, senses and experiences the world through her filter = artist. A lot of artists talk bull when it comes to concrete, real world issues. Not because they don't care or are simple, but because they are way better at expressing how they feel.

I love how the interviewer actually tried to dig a little deeper with the political questions. Her answers were still vague (like the health care question) but it's still one of the most outspoken interviews she has given to this date. Like what she said about sex scandals in the Church: "It’s hard to see other people’s bad choices ruin the mysticism that can come from inside the walls of a church. It’s unfortunate. I don’t really understand why certain groups of people are drawn to that profession. I was talking to my mom about that." I think it explains a lot about her faith somehow. Idk about her attitude though, it's not like it's the first time she come across as a little defensive, even playing the victim quite a bit. I thought the same thing about the Fashion Magazine and as many here has already pointed out, it probably has a lot to do with her love of being loved + the extraordinary backlash she recieved back in the days. I think her whole "misunderstood artist, u guyz" vibe is quite dramatic and tacky, but then again those are the qualities that make me love her so much, so I'm good

There is no such thing as too many pictures of Lana's legs!
