THE OTHER WOMAN

I really hope Barrie is doing okay honestly and that they're still good friends.

Lana and Alex Turner Yassassssssss please, I think id cry

Read from the bottom up

 



 

Has anyone else been brought to tears by the spoken part? I will kill Jim for making my baby suffer!  

I could be wrong, but I am pretty sure I read somewhere that they met in a strip club in NYC.   Do we really think she cheats on Barrie with all these guys though? And how fucking awkward must it be for him to sit there and listen to his girlfriend/fiancee/whatever she is to him sing about her ex lover who is currently on tour with her?! I kind of feel bad for him. I mean from what I gather, they do love each other, but damn, how much can this guy take? Lanz needs to start singing about her current man..... Apparently they wrote "Brooklyn Baby" together, so I'm interested to hear that one. 

ultraviolence in itself references hundred dollar bill which also references jimmy gnecco who is touring with lana. how does barrie feel about all this is my question

- What it felt like singing in the places she's been singing about all these years, like Charteau Marmont, Paris, L.A. Was it a dream come true or was it different in real life?
 
- In the same vein, how she felt about meeting Axl Rose and if Bel Air really is a tribute to him
 
- Her thoughts on the law of attraction, life after death and extraterrestrial life.
 
- Who in the music business she would like to collaborate with (And by some manipulative tactics get her to say Damon Albarn)
 
- Ask her about some of my favourite songs, like the writing process and if she even likes them now.
 
- ULTRAVIOLENCE

I actually dreamt about her one night. I met Lana at a restaurant (in the dream ofc). I walked timidly towards her and asked her if I could get a hug, but she just stared at me and said no, because I didn't have awesome nails like her. Then she walked away and left me there to pay for her food I hope Lana is nicer IRL

Everyday I wish that my friends like Lana, but I don't want that her turn into a world star with lots of fans, etc....I wana to keep Lana as my treasure

Beyoncé is certainly no stranger to accusations of plagiarism in her videos. Considering the large number of videos comprising her eponymous visual album, it would not be surprising if some of them were less than original. Did she copy Lana Del Rey?
 
Compare the album cover design and font to a Paradise box set booklet:

With Tropico, the "Ride" video, the "Blue Velvet" promo for H&M, and the "Song of Myself" promo for L'Officiel set to the intro to "Cola", Lana released some sort of video for almost every song on Paradise. One could argue that even the idea of releasing videos for the entire album is derivative. Now let's look at those videos.
 
 
PRETTY HURTS
Much like the opening bars of "Ride", the opening bars begin with the image of Beyoncé singing into a slender microphone, wearing a mostly white dress against sparkly blue stage curtains:

 
The song's themes—eating disorders and the dark side of being a beauty queen—are straight out of "Boarding School", "Brite Lites", and "Pin-Up Galore". Indeed, here we see Mrs. Carter in Ms. Grant's short-cut meth-haired beauty queen style complete with sash accessory:

 
Beyoncé also replicates Lana's arched back & cupped hand underwater poses from the "Blue Jeans" video:

 
She not only borrows Tropico co-star Shaun Ross, but doubles down on the African albinism by casting Diandra Forrest. To top it off, Beyoncé even has the audacity to lift Lizzy's iconic trademark sequined bra:

 
 
GHOST
In "Ghost", Sasha Fierce is not herself, assuming the identity of Lana's Rosalita alter ego from her "Song of Myself" video for L'Officiel:

 
 
HAUNTED
The "Countdown" singer's video for "Haunted" begins with a hauntingly familiar countdown straight outta one of Lizzy's DIY "Gramma" videos:

 
Then in true diva style, Beyoncé makes her male servant light her cigarette for her like a little bitch like Barrie at a Lana show:

 
The whole video imitates the imitated Lynchian style of Lana's "Blue Velvet" promo for H&M complete with the requisite Doppelgangers:

 
Yet it borrows scenes from "National Anthem" & Tropico. Black guys gambling? Check.

 
Strippers giving lapdances to white businessmen? Check.

 
People in whiteface? Check.

 
Bubbles? Check.

 
Originality? ...Anyone? Bueller?
 
 
DRUNK IN LOVE
In addition to lyrics that sound like a first draft of "Brite Lites" ("Flashing lights, flashing lights, you got me faded, faded, faded"), this intoxicating concoction's potency is poured from "National Anthem", where Lana grinds on another snifter-wielding rapper, A$AP Rocky:

 
 
BLOW
The cotton candy confection of the music masks Lana-like lyrics ("Every time I close my eyes", "I'ma let you be the boss of me", "Give me that daddy long stroke" and an interlude in French) in a video easily summarized as "pin-up girls at the roller derby". We also see a close-up of a disco ball a la her DIY "Yayo" video:

 
And Beyoncé perched on the hood of a car in a fuck-me pose like Lana in the "Born to Die" video:

 
In this case, we're lucky that "Blow" doesn't Soileau. Bradley sucks.
 
 
NO ANGEL
In an inversion of Lana's "angels forever" refrain, the "Halo" songstress proclaims, "You're no angel either, baby." She asks, "Tell me do you want to ride?" Like Lana in "Ride", Beyoncé is Queen of the Gas Station, knocking off Lana's hot long curly hair and cut-off jeans look. Unlike Lana, at least she's responsible enough to only be figuratively smokin' at the pump.

 
We see chicks on the back of motorcycles:

 
Tacky word bling:

 
And pole dancers making it rain:

 
 
YONCÉ
In "Yoncé", she continues the ghetto theme, banging around with her gang of ghetto girls like Lana in Tropico:

 
Who does Beyoncé think she is to appropriate all these signifiers of ghetto culture from gangsta Nancy Sinatra? Rather uppity if you ask me.
 
 
CONTINUED...

this week has kind of filled me with the sense that 2014 is going to be a big year for lana fans.

WTF???? WHAT IS HAPPENING??

WTF???? WHAT IS HAPPENING??

People at the venue were given this

It must be pretty scary going out alone at night and having strange men waiting to take pics of you 

Because I love casual Lana (when she's not wearing that aztec jacket)
 
 
 
 

"Hello Heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow lights on a dark night" 
"The voice of Nirvana says come as you are, and I will"
"Make it fun, don't trust anyone"
"Heaven is a place on Earth with you"
"Everything is fine, but I wish I was dead"
"No one lives forever, but that's no reason to give up"
"Don't you know that I have really never loved nobody, but you?" ...and so on

can you just post photos normally? redirecting them to your site then from your site i have to pick which photo to view is so tiring 

All this Y&B hate ......i just ....i cant

I will never understand how such a song could be hated
