My fingers... They feel so floppy right now

It's ok, the interview is good, I am growing evermore excited to hear this "plate"

How did that Black Keys frontman Dan Auerbach produce the album? Del Rey: While I was working on “Ultraviolence” already in the Electric Ladyland Studio with Rick Nowels, I met Dan by chance at a restaurant in New York. He was with a few friends on the way to a strip club, and I’m just called. So we all clean in the store. There was “Summertime Sadness”, and we began to dance together. Then we look at so on, laugh and say almost simultaneously: “Would it not very funny when we would go into the studio together” I liked to Dan that he was so spontaneous that he just enter “yes” said to me and my creative ideas and decisions. Six weeks later, the plate was ready.

Don't start a fight with this guy, he can be mean.

Wow... That's.... Umm.... Wow....

God stop being so positive ur a lana fan.

Someone did. It got taken down

Oh dear GOD.... #ULTRAFLOP! #LANADELFLOP!

I LOOOVEE the Charlie parody! He was SPOT ON with his impression. What made it funny was that a lot of it was based on how she acted in video interviews, and not just how people say she acts like in the BC video. What really annoyed me about their attempt at imitating Lana led to a whole bunch of haters in the comments going "OH MY GOD I THOUGHT THAT WAS LANA, SHE'S TOTALLY LIKE THAT" Lol, it's really annoying but at least they'll never be able to say Lana was a one hit wonder, we're far past that stage now.

We all know this album is going to rock, but I just think it's important to realise that however great this record is, and however much the critics love it (I hope ) All those kids that go around saying "She's a puppet of the industry and she's only famous cause her father is a millionaire!" AREN'T going to change their tone. I mean, why would they? The main reason they do that is to add credibility to their own musical taste. On top of this, people like to feel intelligent and sophisticated, and so are determined not to be tricked. The way a lot of people portray Lana as a marketing puppet, people become defensive and go out trying to prove they have not been "tricked" by the industry. They're not even gonna listen to UV, but we all know they'll be there when the record comes out to say "FLOP! LANA DEL FAKE! YOU'VE ALL BEEN FOOLED BY THE INDUSTRY!!! SHE'S A PUPPET! A PUPPET!" It's never gonna get any better. I don't know, maybe I shouldn't say this while you're all hyped, but some people are stubborn, they don't listen to the music, they just criticise it to make themselves feel smart. I do have a reason to say this, I just watched this really unfunny barely political video where they did a parody of lana (usually I find the Lana parody videos funny, but these guys just took a whole bunch of cheep shots, it didn't really seem like they knew anything about Lana at all) and there were LOADS of debates talking about how Lana is nothing like how they made her out to be in the vid, when someone just randomly said "YOU'RE ALL STUPID LANA'S A MARKETING PUPPET" And I got really annoyed because of how hyped I am for UV. THIS IS NEVER GOING TO CHANGE, WE CAN DREAM, BUT IT NEVER WILL.

I knew it sounded like something I'd heard before! Pretty When You Cry also sounds familiar

Brooklyn Baby vs Old Money (snippet)

I love them all aside from Florida Kilos and Pretty When You Cry, I guess I'll need the full songs to really get into the vibe of UV, but I'm pleasantly surprised by the mood in SG, I was afraid of a fast-paced pop track. So glad Black Beauty hasn't been redone! (as far as I can tell from the snippets, it sounds the same) Oh yeah and I promised myself I wouldn't listen to any snippets before the whole record came out.

Lyrically, I'd say this is the "off to the races" of the UV era. Sonically, it's unlike anything I've heard from Lana, I could imagine it as an AKA track.

Well if the answer is so obvious then why all those mean comments? I know he was talking about Lana's stupid answer to the feminism question but he called her an idiot, my doubts were warranted. And if you're so tired of the conversation then just don't bring it up anymore.

I'm well aware Lana makes decisions and says some things even her fans disagree with. If you read my reply I did acknowledge that there were others on this site with similar ways of expressing their disapproval when it comes to Lana. I'm not picking you out for god sakes just asking you a fucking question! Are you a fan or not? It seems like an obvious question to ask to a member of Lana-boards but the way you speak about her I'm just not sure. I'd also like you to remember you were the one that turned this hostile, you made a slightly insulting comment towards Lana, one of many you had posted in the last page, so I decided to ask you why you were even on this site if you thought she was an idiot. Disagreeing with you for deciding to insult a women so harshly for voicing an opinion you disagree with doesn't make me a crowd follower. I FUCKING AGREE WITH YOU ABOUT HER COMMENTS ON FEMINISM. Are you a fan or not? You don't have to reply to my question if you don't want to but don't re-hash arguments I've already addressed and please don't ask me to fuck off again.

Jesus Christ. There's a big difference between expressing dissaproval of what someone says or does and flat out calling them an idiot. And for your information I somewhat agree with what you were saying, just not the fierce manner you used to say it. I also realise there are several people with similar opinions to you on this forum but you were the most recent to make a comment so I chose to respond to you. I also found it a tad bizzare how you called Lana an idiot when you have an account on a fan site of the women. It is fine to say someone has spoken or acted in a foolish way, but not to criticise them wholly as a person, especiallly if you are a member of this person's fansite. Reffering to my original, and tottally harmless question, are you a fan or not?

Well from the looks of it those beliefs and opinions also comprise of a burning hatred for Lana. I'm just curious as to why you're on a fan site if you're not a fan. I mean you're definitely not a fan, you called her an idiot for crying out loud.

Umm... So, you... Are you a Lana fan or not? Everything your saying is fucking with my head. Like... Wtf are you doing here?

#subtletyLana At first I thought she was talking about Lorde, cause she did call Lana's music "irrelevant" and people have compared their music and said it was in some ways similar in style. And of course GaGa is nothing like Lana and she's past her fifteen minuted any way so there's no point (no offense GaGa fans) Then I realised it would be crazy for Lana to trash a seventeen year old for a few harsh remarks but then again, Lana's been known to make bold choices before. I so want to see Lana have beautiful babies, I always thought she'd be the type to say "My life is too complex for children". But I'm glad to see she's planning on settling down, it'd be nice for once to have a musician like her live a normal life and live to an old age rather than go on a self destructive rampage and O.D naked in their bed at the age of 30. Maybe we could even get a song about her kids being addicted to minecraft.

Oh My God at how many people are treating this as if Lana said "Feminism is a bad Idea, I wanna ignore how it's helped my gender over the past century and talk about space!" Her words were clearly taken slightly out of context to create a drama. What she probably meant was that she's fucking tired of people labelling her an antifeminist and thinks as a whole people today have a really misguided view of what feminism is (thanks partially to tumblr) and that, for the interview, she'd rather talk about the possibilities for investigating our universe in new ways. She doesn't think of feminism as "boring" but rather thinks people have been mislead by the whole "I am a strong woman, no man will control my life, and I will not take his name if I marry him, because I am a feminist" confusion everywhere. Lorde's great, but In my experience she's confusing just as many people about the ideas of seeking equal rights for woman as Lana. I have this gay friend who's a huge equal rights activist and he used to listen to Lana with me then one day, about a week after I'd just gotten him started listening to Lorde, he came up to me and said "I don't listen to Lana any more, cause she's antifeminist. Lorde talked about it in an interview, she always sings about love, and none of her songs are defiant, plus she posed naked on a magazine so she's a whore and she sold out to the industry" And keep in mind my friend is a guy. Now, I don't know about you, but I think if people today think that way, and actually call women whores for posing naked, that's a lot more damaging to women then them being slightly dependent on men in some aspects of their lifestyle. Plus, since when was singing a love song antifeminist? Lorde's confusing a lot of young girls and gays about what feminism truly is, Lana likes to have a man with her to protect her (and from this interview it's clear she needs protecting) what does it matter? If people label woman antifeminist for relying on men in some ways, then we are definitely taking steps backwards and not forwards. It's also disgusting how unfairly people talk about Lana in interviews. "Wait, so this woman expresses herself in the way she lives and this lifestyle does not fit perfectly with our ideals of how a woman should act? Let's bash this bitch!" So as I have just pointed out even if feminism is truly helping in places like Iran where they're all stuck in the 1920's, over here in America we still haven't figured it out and are punishing women if they don't fit a template of how they should act, isn't that sexism? Oh well, that's all. Sorry if this doesn't make any sense my mind is going a mile a minute at the moment.

However good or bad she is it doesn't matter cause the critics will hate on her regardless. For God sakes I've read six articles about coachella where they try to make signing autographs, dancing on stage, talking in between songs, and singing video games seem inauthentic and as though she's playing an act. It's ridiculous because ALL SINGERS DO THESE THINGS and it's so obvious they're trying way too hard to catch her out now. What's even more sickening is that the ones I've read were mostly written by men in their fourties. It's almost funny cause they're basically saying "this can be interpreted as inauthentic because:" and furthemore people say she has no live charisma then praise Lorde's live concerts and that whole jaggedy ferrel animal dance she does. Anything any artist does can be manipulated against them if you try hard enough, and their even harsher on Lana because the first time she sang live on snl it was a tottally new experience for her, the poor girl was probably scared shitless! Then people started saying how she was a fraud, how she acted all detached to seem mysterious. People are just so disgustingly merciless.

Ok this is gonna sound horrible, but I don't think the dude was ever really suicidal. I mean I think we all know even Lana tries to make her past "troubles" seem more dramatic than they probably were. He's definetly lying when he said that he used to get high and drink everynight, he's basically just taking the rough outline of the stories we've heard from Lana's teenage years and altering them slightly. I dunno, he just doesn't seem like the sorta guy that would even touch drugs. I'm not annoyed or anything, when I was around ten I tried to convince my parents I had scitzophrenia so that they would get me psychiatric help (I'm really not sure why I wanted that, lol) but if you ask me all that talk about depresion was complete horse crap. People find out about Lana cause she's cool right now and all, and think they have to make up some bleak demented childhood they never had to bring some meaning to the songs for themselves. I think even Lana knew he was lying. Also it was so fucking stupid how he just dropped that into conversation with a girl he doesn't even know. You could see in her face Lana just wanted to walk away from the conversation as soon as possible.

"It seems that without a certain amount of controversy is difficult to succeed... I do not know . But there are people that causes it, it cries . I have not searched ."

Personal note from Lana attached to each copy: remember to pepper your irrational hate letter with lots of "sophisticated" words. If only I had the brilliant writing ability all you fuckwit talented internet critics have! ... Wow lana, calm down.
