Do ypou know what Gaga is really good at? Promoting herself. So in my opinion Gaga laughs at that song while eating popcorn high as shit while writing more crapy songs for the world to hear. Gaga has a sense of humor and also enjoys free press specially with a harmless song that is not a big deal or even offensive to her anyway. Lana can be a little pisss with this leak but Gaga probably doesn't give a shit and thinks "what the fuck I put myself into? those fans are fucking sick. Better hire more security. They are nuts" 

when did i sign up for gagaboards?
 
ugh. some people don't like gaga here, so what? we're lana del rey fans. go to a gaga site if you want to crawl up her asshole. 

@@Rafael Ooh thanks! I'd completely forgotten about 'My Momma'.
 
This part is really interesting as well - My momma, she would fall right on top of you / If she'd ever saw you, she'd be smitten, too / I'll never take you home, I want you all for my own / Don't let my momma hear your pretty song. It's like she saw her mother as competition when it came to men; homegirl must have (had?) an Electra complex the size of a small planet.

Hmm, I only agree to an extent, actually. Sure, most people will read one of these articles & almost immediately forget all about it, but it's one of those things that could stick (like SNL) and end up affecting people's opinion on Lana (positive or negative) in the future.

the Guardian isn't a tabloid...

Us Against The World

It's hard to pick a favourite, but I've always loved this one:
 

 
'Paris, Texas' is certainly in my top 3 fave films of all time and I'd immediately made the connection, a long time before I saw Chuck mentioning it.

Something else I'm really curious about is her relationship with her mother. I mean, is she even alive? I honestly have no idea. She never talks about her, I've never seen her in any family photos (I think?)... What's up with that? Can one of the Lana experts enlighten me a little bit about this? I think that could help understand so much about Lana, especially the daddy issues + preference for older / protective / dominant men... (I think I've read one too many psychology books. )

Just got home, am a bit drunk.
 
Anyway, Arctic Monkeys put up a good show as per usual, but the acoustics really sucked (the guitars were drowned out & the bass was turned way up). I swear, 4 years ago Alex Turner was the shiest, most glum, shoegazer-tier rock performer I'd ever seen - and now he's a man of the people, a crowd pleaser. Bizarre. (Also bizarre: dude kept combing his hair back in the middle of the concert! Apparently, pompadours aren't concert-friendly.)
 
Beach House were very good too, but their show suffered from the same acoustics problem as AM's. Imo they're not a festival band anyway; their music befits small & intimate venues, not large Summer festivals. It was still very nice, and it was my first time seeing them live too. Oh, and Victoria looked so sexy in a leather jacket (idk how she managed to handle the heat tho?!!) & I adoooooooore her hair.
The Smashing Pumpkins aren't really my band but I enjoyed their concert way more than I'd expected tbh. Also, what kind of sexy bassist?!

I love the song, but the lyrics are so clichéd that I cringe a little just thinking about them tbh.

The fact that JG is (possibly maybe) about a stalkerish platonic obsession instead of an actual relationship doesn't make the song any less interesting for me; on the contrary, actually.

Off To The Races --- Glass room, perfume, cognac, lilac fumes, says it feels like heaven to him.
 
On Our Way --- I love so many things about this song, put I'll have to pick the way she sings How you get so hot? It is VERY hot.
 
Catch and Release --- I really fucking love this song, especially -Yes, I've seen page six lately, ah / I told you both them broads was crazy / Hackin' in your phone and shit & You lured me in with all your gold / Catch and release and you're so cold. Love what's going on with her voice in those 2 moments.
  And this live performance:   http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1gRtaGAyP-I Fave moment is from 2:13 onwards. I bet that, like, half those views are mine. I even ripped it from YT because I wanted to have in my iPod and be able to watch it / listen to it whenever.  

OMG Lenny Kravitz was on HG?! LOL. (Never watched it.)

Yeah, totally agree. It's the only way to make it work.
 
I think I wouldn't like to see a guy wearing this though; it doesn't have the same 'unexpected' factor that it has on a girl & it would probably look too casual and even a little bit homely (since it isn't as easy for a guy to glam up the rest of his look).
