I'm becoming a fan
Why haven't I listened to her before? I love Too Many Boys, Red Lips and Lolita

Her seemingly very normal and healthy relationship with Barrie - as opposed to all the danger, darkness and obsession she seems to be fascinated with in all the men / relationships she mentions in her songs - is one of the things that makes me wonder how much of her public personality is actually her and makes me doubt a lot of her 'bad girl' backstory. I often get the feeling that she uses these artistic personas she's always created one way or another as a safe way to experiment and live (in her mind & via song) all these dark and dangerous fantasies that fascinate her without actually having to live them and deal with the less glamorous sides of it. I don't know if this makes any sense.
 
(Btw, this has nothing to do with the authenticity debate - which I personally think is complete bullshit.)

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.

I think in Morrison's case it's also pretty difficult to know how much of his apparent personality was drug-fuelled since he was pretty much high on something 24/7...

OMG. And Lana slays me once again! This video will be flawless, I just know it. I'm sure it will be as epic as Ride and National Anthem, it will legit be the most amazing thing I have ever seen in my life. Like, OMG, I am dying here. I'm crying so hard right now that I actually can't breathe, can't someone please hold me?! To all of you making mean comments about goddess Lana: she's flawless!!! Sure, she's just a wee bit fat and should probably lose a bit of weight and maybe tone her abs - but she's still perfect regardless! (Oh, btw, does anyone else think the whole stripping / go-go dancing thing could represent the loss of innocence? You know, the angel looking to get fucked hard and all that? Makes sense, right?!)

wow taht was a long interview. Thanks @ is lot to trasncript. Thanks for doing all that and giving yourself the trouble

You know, 'anal' is Lana's name, ahem, backwards.

if lana would let jim do anal, he'd like her . i know that kurt really didn't like many people, he was very demanding. he didn't suffer fools gladly and even the people he liked the most he fought with all the time. courtney probably was his best friend but they fought pretty much daily and pretty violently. he liked strong, smart, creative, independent women who could take care of him but where he could still be in control (part of the time). he hated people who he suspected of selling out (which lana did, i guess, with changing her image & music). he also hated when people completely adored him and thought he was some kind of god. he wasn't shallow at all, none of his girlfriends were really beauties. he was also very into music, lots of underground stuff, not just "the masters of every genre". idk really because i don't know lana personally but i'm not sure millionaire daddy's pseudo-deep submissive daughter would've clicked with a poor depressed highly sensitive bi-polar guy.
