where do u find the time to be the #1 lana sleuth in all the lands

Sorry for this stupid title didn't know how to call this. Further I don't know if this is the right place for this info but I just stumbled upon sth really really interesting.
 
Some austrian sites (maybe other too) reported about an interview of Lana with 'Grazia' in which she revealed that she was a member of a sect!
 
Quick translation of one of those articles:
The singer allegedly used to be dominated by a Guru. Since he wanted to "break" his girls she left the sect.
US-singer Lana Del Rey has a past in a sect behind her. "I used to be a member of an underground sect which was reigned by a guru. He surrounded himself with young girls," she told the magazine Grazia. She as well couldn't resist his "insane charisma". She was longing for "love and safety" in this group.
But the guru turned out to be a bad person. "He thought that he had to break people first to build them up again. At the end I quit the sect." Her addiction to alcohol which she had as a teenager is over as well adds the 27 year old. "For ten years I haven't touched a drink - but I'd somehow really like to."

This newspaper/website is usually quite reliable so...yeah.
 
 
Thought? So "you're my cult leader" suddenly has a completely new meaning...

She says: every morning I gloss the lips of my cunt with pepsi lip gloss.

You can listen to it here if you missed it 

I actually don't think it sounds like Barrie.

YAS BITCH, YAAAAAAS!
 
 

I just want to hear the line where she goes "Yeah, my boyfriend’s really cool/ But he’s not as cool as me."  I am so freaking excited to hear this!!!

Never mind my previous post  Posted it without actually noticing that the song is out

Speaking of dying, why is your avi a picture of Kenan Thompson dressed in drag?
 

 

 
 
 

Hey everyone!
I made this topic to discuss something I noticed as soon as I listened to Ultraviolence and Brooklyn Baby...
First, does anyone notice the STRIDENT simmilarity between Ultraviolence and Born To Die's overture? The orchestral, empiral string cadence?
 
And in a second hand, does anyone notice a vocal melody simmilarity between brooklyn baby's "My boyfriend's in the band" and Summertime Sadness' "I've got my red dress on tonight"?
 
After I compared them and sang them one after the other I felt somehow disappointed... I just can't describe the feeling. It's not quite disappointment... It's as if I feel she always writes about the same things with the same punch lines or objects (red sun party dresses, brands, cigarrettes, daddies, and stuff like that) and not just that but her melodies are repetitive too?

Don't get me wrong, I LOVE her ever since I discovered her in Stereogum in exactly August 23rd 2011 with this article http://www.stereogum.com/786631/lana-del-rey-video-games-video/video/
So I'm all here for the love.
But I just felt like talking about this

I'm bit surprised to see so many negative comments about this "interview". I genuinely think he was being honest and all he wanted is to tell her about the impact of her music in his life. I know a lot people here are fans of other 100 artist and foruns but for some people music  REALLY can change their lifes. He met the person that changed his life, I don't judge he wanted to share with her how important she is to him. It's natural if you think how much time we spent of our lives in the company of music.

I'm sorry, but we have to stop with this "social worker" thing. It's a profession which requires years and years of schooling, in Canada, a 4-year degree. Point is, you have to reach certain qualifications and have certain certificates, and you undergo intense practicums and counsellor training.  
 
Lana is NOT a social worker. She did volunteer work, but is in no way a social worker. 
 
If you trip and fall and have a gash on your knee and your mom puts on a bandaid on, does that make her a doctor? NO. Your friend comes to you to confide and work out their problems. Does that make you a psychologist? NO. 
 
It's really not any different. Doctors work incredibly hard to meet their qualifications, as do social workers. It's disrespectful to their achievements and work when you undermine their profession by slapping a label onto anyone that does anything that vaguely resembles their career. Christ.

You called?
 

she fuckin' sings "come on, you know you like little girls" and y'all decide to get your panties in a bunch about seeming evidence of her rowdy sex habits smh

If you don't like how she treats this then you should react the same for how she treats Lolita-like relationships because it's much more fucked up imo then mentioning rough sex. 

What I was going to write:
It makes me sad for Soileau that people have such negative opinions on him. Him and Lana are clearly fine, isn't that saying something? If he really was targeting her in his rant, I find it truly amazing that she has forgiven him to the point of having him be a part of yet another video. He stated that his rant was targeted at Jeffree Star, whom he was in an aggressive feud with over Porcelain Black just around the time of his rant. Soileau called the person he was targeting a "speed fairy." I definitely don't get this ("speedy") vibe from Lana. His target is "on drugs floating around L.A." Lana wasn't even living in L.A. at the time, she was based in the U.K. And on drugs..? I truly find that doubtful. But then again, how would I know. And also the "everyone that meets you fucking hates you" .... Again, I have a very hard time relating this to Lana. Having just listened to a Jeffree Star track "no talent diva" kinda makes sense 
 
But! Having read Porcelain Blacks twitter rant at her ex (they love those rants) - she clearly outed his ass. According to her, his tweets were targeting Lana due to bitterness over being axed from the National Anthem video... And furthermore, she claims (somewhere else) that he was abusive and violent towards her... Which breaks my heart.
 
What's my point? Hmm. I have none. Except for the fact that I guess Soileau did have it out for Lana? Which makes me very   seeing that she's working with him again. AND (sorry this is long, but I dunno where to find that "spoiler" function) the drug related accusations make me feel like a massive, glimmering question mark.

It seems like she had such a comfortable life as Liz. Hanging out in dat darn trailer park, wearing wigs and making videos, writing songs.... Just being a general menace. And then the occasional social work... Pretty sweet life.

Allow me to quote you then
 
You are not more fan than I am or anybody else just because you started listening to Lana/Lizzy/whatsoever a couple of months before...
 
We're here to enjoy West Coast and you're being rude.
 
 
On West Coast I must say that I get Kill Kill vibes from it... so exciting (even though I don't like the "You have the music in you" it sounds so HSM as someone said above lol)

Unnecessarily rude and immature. 

Time of becoming a fan doesn't mean shit. If we like it, we like it. Wank off. Back to West Coast.

I'm 'newbie' and I don't like Sirens

That doesn't make sense at all.

I've been a fan since the Lizzy Grant days and I love AKA and several songs from Sirens. No need to be rude to new fans because of their opinions.
