Chuck is so intellectual... Love the Grant sisters to death.

My thoughts exactly. You rock!

I still think this song was inspired by Scarface (Pacino).

A sex tape? LOL.

How do you know about that?

I love that Paris concert to bits! My attempt at a top 5: The Paris' Off to the Races live on studio; Body Electric in Hackney 2012; Burning Desire in Germany on Paradise tour; http://youtu.be/sqS_kkKjuh0 Cola in Milan 2013 (so lively, sweet and sensual -- Lana is really into it!); Dark Paradise in São Paulo, 2013 on Paradise tour. None from UV coz I love all her live ones she's been doing now in 2014, specially West Coast.

Jazzy Lizzy.

I was already into Jimmy Dean, MM, Nabokov (Lolita is my favourite book), Whitman, Elvis etc and her references made me love her even more. But I am learning some stuff about Americana, Bohemian poetry and Beat culture thru Lana. I am thankful an artiste like LDR is in this world.

Oh and I wasn't brainwashed by Lizzy.I love oldies, blues and singers like Ella Fitzgerald, Edith Piaf, Billie Holiday and Peggy Lee, among others. I listen to most everything, rock, pop, folk, metal, disco...

Yeah, not so much on UV, but there's certainly a jazzy vibe on her vocals on her earlier recordings, official and unreleased. Hawaiian Tropic for instance... It is a strong influence, Lana got mojo!

Listen to Lana's albums carefully. The jazz influence is all over the place! Her vocals specially, jazzy and bluesy... "The Other Woman" version, that's Lana's type of jazz! Gaga is singing standards, Del Rey pens jazz-inspired songs. There's the difference.

It was classy and sinister. Cool!

I saw a couple of clips and it looks fabulous. La Lange is heavenly and it doesn't matter if her voice is not like Lana's to me. It seems she's going for a Dietrich vibe.

I love your thoughts and quite agree. Regarding the comparison with Cat Power by some of you here: Oh dear, I could write an essay discussing Lana's true poetic talent (failed English major here) and why she is a brilliant songwriter but I am too tired now. Lana is as good as Chan, as a matter of fact, her vision is much bolder. I have been a CP fan since the nineties, way before Cat Power went worldwide famous and still was an indie act singing deep sad songs. Watched her live twice. Not following her as I did then anymore... Lana is not inferior to any songwriter out there, she can write beautiful poetry in music form, her aesthetics also are part of the whole vision. Plus, the recurring themes are genius! Give our girl a couple of decades and she will go down in Music History as one of the greats, one of the best American songwriters. Yeah, I am such a fangirl and not ashamed. I worship Lana Del Rey!

I get what you mean but I don't think it was meant to be titillating... I believe it was done for aesthetic purposes. Art for Art's sake. They don't seem to be those kind of trendy, attention whore girls.

The kiss photos are very beautiful, specially the one in which Lana looks lovingly at Chuck. I don't see it as cheap either, and I read it was for some Art project. I get a gay vibe from Chuck anyway, so ok.

If it is Sad Girl indeed I am dead already.

Absolutely beautiful!

Luv luv AHS!! Asylum is my fave season. I think Lange is a diva and she'll nail it!

Enjoy guys! So wish I could go ... It should be a mystical experience!

Those jerks equal being overweight with being "ugly". Not true.

I just want to see her well and happy or at least not depressed. If she has to take some time off, it is fine by me.

Marilyn posed nude (when she was older, years after the Playboy thing when she was a model) and it was a beautiful shoot.

I think it is something which affects her singing. Flu, throat problems or something. Plus, the smoking doesn't help.

They are in love. Most men just don't show it like women do.
