Kiwi is what you call people from New Zealand.

That's a pretty bold statement, since (as far as I'm aware) she never discussed her views on Lolita, the book. We all know she has quite a few daddy issues, loves power & age play in relationships & is fascinated with the whole lolita aesthetic, so she probably just cherry picked the elements that fit those themes the best. That doesn't necessarily mean her understanding of the book doesn't go any deeper than that though.
 
 
LMAO! So some stereotypes really do apply after all?! I mean, only the French would feel offended because a foreigner doesn't speak their language!

I absolutely hated Off To The Races the first time I listened to it. Idk if I was outta my mind high or just momentarily insane but yeah, I hated it.
Now it's one of my fave Lana songs, top 3 for sure.

Palm trees in New Jersey? I mean, I'm not American so I could be wrong, but it's not the type of thing I associate with the Northeastern coast...
 
"The veranda looks ocean gold" could very well be something like this...
 
 
...which would make the "neon palms sway" line a bit more logical - view from the veranda, ocean sunset, neon lights being turned on at dusk, palm trees...
 
Besides, that "the Jersey Shore was long ago" line kinda hints at the fact that they're no longer there?
(edit: reading your "lost in drugs" theory, that's indeed a possible interpretation / explanation for being physically there but at the same time not really there... however, meth is not really a sadness or introspection inducing drug...)
 
Who knows, though.

Ageing is the British spelling.

I agree, but at Versace she had the dark hair + porcelain skin + red lips combo which I think is flawless & looked super sexy in her. Her current mix of dark hair + tan skin + nude / brownish coloured lips is not my favourite at all, as it ages her quite a bit imo & I'm just not a huge fan of the 'Spanish & dark' type of look.

One or two dumb comments aside (the 'dead friends' one really is something else... ), I actually liked this interview. I thought that for once she wasn't trying too hard to sound intellectual and subsequently saying a lot of half-baked stuff; she's clearly mostly influenced / inspired by visuals (which imo makes a lot of sense since one of the best things about her music is the mood & vivid imagery she's able to convey) and that really shines through in this interview. I liked reading about all the little things tbh - the decor of her new house, the streamers & fish tank in the trailer, the decadent camps of Lake Placid, how she describes even her alcohol of choice as 'anything fast and dark', the drives to the beach, the ideas behind the National Anthem video... it's like she takes inspiration from these little things (idealising them quite a bit in the process) & creates a whole song / video around them. Idk, I enjoyed reading about that and much prefer this type of interview to the ones where she tries to sound like a deep thinker.

Perfectly put. R.I.P.

Kinda embarrassingly, Off To The Races. It was easily my least favourite from BTD during the first few listens, and now it's one of my favourite Lana songs & I'd do lots of questionable stuff to get my hands on the demo...
 
Also, and while I never disliked it, it did take me a while until I finally 'got' the brilliance and magic of Yayo (AKA version, of course).

Yeah, it's probably even more 'cunt' than 'pussy'. From what I understood it's basically the worst, most offensive way to say 'vagina' in Japanese.

Okay so Omanko and Night Time, My Time are giving me LIFE.
 
Can someone in the US please give me a DL for 24 Hours as the Single of the Week? Like the actual SOTW. Please. I'm a collecter
