J.R.OMEGA

Yesterday, Lana Del Rey attended her friend Valerie Vogt’s wedding in Mérida, Mexico.

Full transcription of her speech:
 
Hello. So happy to be here. Congratulations to everybody. Jack, you're such a big reason for why I'm friends with so many of the people I know in this room. I knew nobody when I started. That's why the first time I was ever nominated for any Grammy, I just didn't go. I didn't know how to do it. I really didn't. I didn't know a person. Then when I met Jack in 2018, he dragged me from the Clive Davis party, which is like one of the few things I actually love to do, to people watch, and he brought me to a diner and he was like, "if you just come to my home studio, I think we could write something really amazing." And I was not convinced. He is the most persistent, convincing person. I needed that. There are things, there are so many things I would not have done if he hadn't made me. After his wedding, he told me to stay at the Seaside Motel last year for five days because there was only one slot left on the Zoom session to submit to the Grammys. I at the time didn't even know that you personally had to submit. I thought that if your song was good, people just put it on a ballot, and if people voted for it the most, you won. So I waited for five days. I did a Zoom session with, you know, I started seeing like anonymous people enter the Zoom room with no names and thousands and thousands of them. We had taken an hour to practice a song that wasn't even the song that was being submitted because I didn't know how to do like, "Jimmy Jimmy Cocoa Puff, Jimmy, Jimmy, ride," so I just did my favourite song. We ended up being nominated for, was it maybe five nominations last year? So, you know, I mean, there's so many things that I learn every year. I'm so happy for everybody who has won an award. I'm hearing words tonight like innocence, is the most important thing to hold on to. Truth prevails above all. Follow your heart. This is a way different climate than 15 years ago. I'm just, you know, I have so many thoughts in my head, and I'm hoping that everyone who is here tonight who received an award will just fly with the confidence that getting it has instilled in you, if it means anything to you. Because, you know, if you have momentum, keep it up. Don't ever let it stop. Jack is a big reason why part of my story and the perception of me turned around. If it did at all, it is in part because of the music that he helped bring out in me. I love to sing. I love to write. It kind of diminished a little bit over those 10 years before I met him. Most of all, I'm grateful for him, for his example that he gave me in his marriage to Margaret. I saw the way he looked at her when he met her. He's a big reason why I waited so long to get married and why I met my amazing husband. I really feel like there's kind of a singer's curse around meeting an honest partner who has no skin in the game, no dog in the race. It's super nerve-racking to have to kind of hold on to an innocent perception of how things could go when you're in an industry where maybe your values and your morals don't quite match up with what's going on, especially when people think that you probably don't have any morals or values. So it can get all twisted up. So, Jack, thank you so much for maybe helping other people look at me in a way that is a little bit closer to how I percieve myself. Freud would say that that's very important, considering 30% of how you feel about yourself is what you hear other people say about you. Regardless of whether you care or not, that's just true. So, other than my managers who really have turned my life around in the way that I still think making music is fun, you have so many friends. You've just really made it feel like Hollywood can be glamourous still, and you can still have a very rich home life even when you get rich. I was talking about me, not you! You'll be richer than all of us with your 50% on everything! Jack has more marble in his house, more herringbone-patterend wood floors, more shiplap, more farmhouse sinks, and car elevator lifts in Brooklyn than I could ever imagine he'd be interested in. Congratulations!

Chemtrails says hello

Something I can't stop thinking about right now is that I am somehow ALWAYS awake for these big unexpected announcements, and if you know me, you know that I'm always asleep during the day lmao. It's like the power of Lana creeps into my mind like "bitch, wake up, or you're gonna miss something!" 
Around 9pm last night I took a nap and woke up close to midnight, and then stayed awake through the UK and Ireland tour announcement that we were anticipating. I was then awake until 10am, expecting to sleep into the night, but I woke back up around an hour ago. Thank god. The power of Lana is stronggggg x

NOT THIS BEING ANNOUNCED WHEN I'M POOPING AND SCROLLING

Blake Lee has a LENGTHY interview and in one small part (30 minute mark) he speaks about his time working on Ultraviolence and his first time meeting Lana!
 
Blake says he first met Lana and he was simply himself, no expectations. Byron helped him get the audition. 
He says the First show they played together was secret and under an alias name in NYC.
 
He says working with Lana is "spontaneous, electric, thrilling" and he remembered looking up Video Games for the first time and his mother overheard and they both fell in love with the sound of the song and the video. and he knew he wanted to be part of her band. 
 
Blake says he is blown away with how fast she writes songs and it is unlike anyone else he has worked with. 
He says he has no idea how many songs she has written BUT Ultraviolence was originally a double album (40 songs were written for Ultraviolence that he remembers and said they were all worthy of being on the album. He said a few of the interludes that didn't make the album have been worked into some of the live shows they do) 
 
Blake says he respects her so much and calls her "the real deal" and admires her ethos of "not trying hard or pretending to be something, and just saying NO when you don't want to do something or if something does not feel right knowing to say no, and then eventually the right thing will come along "
says it was Lana's idea to get Chriss Isaak to perform at the Hollywood Bowl, 
Spoke about Sean Lennon and how magical it was

his new album is a dreamy, cinematic, avant-garde album and quite mesmerizing. 
 
 

ULTRAVIOLENCE DOUBLE ALBUM

Last December, Lana Del Rey visited Carbajal Couture in Nashville, Tennessee where she purchased a rebozó sevillana (Sevillian shawl).

do not forget what he did, what happened under his presidency...
 

Weird thing is that majority of his fans are also Christians and Trump has done stuff that literally does not match the traditional Christian values at all, they're so blinded, that's literally a cult

if Trump wins, there needs to be a way of helping people who will be the most impacted (trans people, AFAB people, the poor).
 
Trans folk and AFAB people need access to HRT and abortion medication, respectively, and we're going to probably lose both if Trump and the Republicans win.
 
 
 
Also, I voted Kamala Harris.

No. Judging by her recent comments, I would guess that the album reached a point of being close to finished, or even finished and Lana did not hear herself in the music. Guessing it went too far into the country genre and she needs time to reevaluate the album as whole. My opinion is Lana leaning into the married life for the rest of 2024 and we'll get some news (possibly) next Spring. This does make me wonder what Lana will be performing at Stagecoach next April.
