In Twin Peaks Dale Cooper says "Windom Earle's mind is like a diamond. It's cold, and hard, and brilliant."
 
She also quotes Officer Brown in Backfire “Kids, come out. Ain’t no way to live, let me show you how.” 

"Ah he's/Harvey's in the sky with diamonds and he's making me crazy" probably a spin on Lucy In The Sky With Diamonds
 

'No one compares to you' [Dark Paradise]
'Nothing compares to you' [sinead O'Connor]
(bit of a stretch..)
 
Her whole 'Daddy' motif makes me think of Jim Morrison's Oedipus complex rant in 'The End'.. fucking the mother & killing the father. When she said 'Ultraviolence' was dark and not listenable, I have to admit I thought of that. Maybe there will be a song called ELECTRA
 
'Hollywood' seems inspired by Moonlight Drive 'Let's swim to the moon' 'When the sun descends, I dive into the waves again' .. Again, a stretch, but she also talks about Morrison in the song, so
 
'Sweet Child of Mine' [bel Air/ Guns n Roses]
 
'I'm on fire' [phrase heavily repeated by LDR, song title by Bruce Springsteen]

"Beautiful Player"
 
Hit me and it felt like a kiss
You know it hurts so good when you do me like this
So sad when I hear the girls talk
When I walk by, I start to cry
 

The address Lana gives in  "TV in Black and White", "One Greenwich  Avenue" is actually a flower shop in NYC.

I'm sorry, I have nothing productive to add... I just wanted to say that I love this topic so much!   *follows*
That's why I love this board - topics that add a whole lot to my understanding and appreciation of Lana's music.
I knews some of those references, but other things are new.

She quotes  Nabokov in Angels Forever "Paradise is a hell-colored flame sky"
 
" a paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flames" - V. Nabokov

Gods & Monsters: "God is dead/God's dead" - Friedrich Nietzsche ("Gott ist tot")
 
G&M: "Life imitates art" - Oscar Wilde ("Paradoxically though it may seem, it is none the less true that life imitates art far more than art imitates life")

A kind of one
 
"Heavier than Heavenly" in On our way, Heavier than Heaven was a Kurt Cobain biography

According to Lana Del Rey herself (simultaneously our primary and least trustworthy source), Ultraviolence is coming this May, soon after she performs at Coachella!

Additionally, she said, "[Ultraviolence is] so good that it made me forget about the last record. I just, I'm in love with it. It's really, I don't know, there's something about it. I have that feeling about it. I have that romantic feeling about it."

The Baha Men won 10 years ago for Who Let The Dogs Out too, Lorde gets to share that honor with them.

Wow, she looks really good in that jeans and jacket.   And I love that expression on her face.
Looks like she doesn't really care but if you look better I think she was going to kill the photographer if he took one more picture of her

too cool for the Grammy's LOL

Love it so much. 

Maybe we'll finally get to hear Bel Air live...
A girl can dream right 

I absolutely LOVE this song  It's so refreshing and it makes me feel like I'm there with her in St.Tropez when I hear this song. 
That's just one of her talents, for me, Lana can make me feel like I experienced the things she's singing about in her song. 

I believe that line is wrong too, but hey, at least it sounds cute 

Everyday when I get home and there's nobody else in the house (except my cat and I think this is the reason why she's nearly deaf), I go in the bathroom where it's really echo-y and I sing on the top of my voice to the live version of Million Dollar Man. I've managed to get myself to believe I sound really cool, just like Lana but once I recorded myself just out of curiosity and... I don't want to talk about it 

It's not really a Lana confession but
 
I hate hearing about all this pushing and shoving like crazy at her shows, can't even enjoy the concert properly with people all over me   I guess it's my fault I didn't catch Lana when her fan-base wasn't made of screeching twitter-kids.Wish there were more lanaboards-like fans - least for the sake of seeing her live in a civilized way. 

If Lana did some rock songs, I would feel complete.
 
Something else like "True Love On The Side", or I could imagine her working with a 1950s rockabilly sound since she's into Elvis.

My friends used to tell me (when Video Games became a hit) that she was just a rich girl who bought her career and was a one hit wonder,
but when I heard Video Games for the first time I remember thinking that she had something special and that her album would be great,
regardless of all the negative criticism she got.

All the scenes were just perfect,
but Bel Air was my favorite, cause it was so special. It really moved me, I just sat there crying. That song has a special meaning to me
and the video made it even better and Tropico as a whole is a masterpiece 

Oh, here's another one...
 
"Hot summer nights, Michelin..."
 

Wait... that's not it?!?
 
"Like a fucking dream I'm living in"
 
curse you Lana
 
"Granddaughter pray we're feeling alright!" was actually "Grand ole opry, feeling alright."
 
Also from Body Electric:
 
"My posters smell like you." Sometimes "my coasters smell like you." Actually "my clothes still smell like you."
