Hope Sandoval Cat Power Slowdive

Pretty When You Cry sounds very Cat Power-like, interesting So my favorites for now are Pretty When You Cry, IFMWUTTT, MPG, TOW

Oh please God don't make this happen. At least it'll get good reviews (Ultraflop is funny tho )

Yeah, for the Charlie parody there was also a lot of fan service so I was like It's true, she sold 7 millions albums, nobody can deny that I'm just scared that if Ultraviolence sells less than Born to Die, there would be an other Lana bashing wave...

Yeah, I mean the Charlie Hides parody was very funny for example, but it was obviously made by a fan. The Barely Political video was nothing like funny, and it was so 2011 Lana. The guy's usually ok, but here he was trying too hard to get all the hype happening around Lana obviously. "I feel sorry for this count though" For all the debate, I think there will always be haters, but I mean you can't big such an important musical act without getting a little hate you know. But I hope that, as Lana does new TV appearances and things like that, this hate toward her will decrease.

Interscope was like I suppose

Hopefully they redone it, I mean they already took out these cheap drum beats, so we can hope for more changes, the song itself is good. I'm already in love with her cover of "The Other Woman", I love this song so much and she does it so perfectly

Thank you, I suppose one of them is trying to act like an attention whore, uploading these pictures

Hum what is that ?

The cover looks very pretty like this tbh

Oh and now I can add Brooklyn Baby : instead of "Talkin' about that newer nation"... "Twerkin about that newer nation"

Well that escalated quickly

Yeah the whole song could have been so much better, like the chorus is great, but it sounds so cheesy and overdone but I still like it

Well I think she's trying to make things clear. We're her fanbase, so we hear or read all her interviews, but it could the first Lana interview that many people would read

Yes, I always wondered about it. Since she's a guitarist, maybe she composes the basic melody on it and then the other musicians kinda translate it ?

Yeah, it is surprising since the Ultraviolence singles have good reviews and her personal life seems to be happier and like, more stable than before. She might be tired or have issues with her past, I dunno.

Ok I'm gonna change it !

Thank you all

Well that's one of my issues with my translation, 'cause there's a lot of tension in it kind off, while in the french article they're more like laid back or "yeah ok" so I tried to do my best But yeah some of her answers were really like

The tumblr guy said that the SoC will be out soon, having it just after Brooklyn Baby will be the death of us all

I love the song. I already knew it would be laid back, but I thought it would be more dancy/party with my rocker hipster friends kind of song, while it's more contemplative and ethereal then what the snippet sounded like. It is also very coherent with the other songs so I'm more hyped than ever for Ultraviolence

Paris Match (french magazine) just released an interview with Lana : http://www.parismatch.com/Culture/Musique/L-incomprise-568187 Usual kind of Lana interview, new informations about the recording of Ultraviolence, her relations with her father, etc. and a new line from MPG Here's my attempt to translate it : The Misunderstood Ten days before the release of "Ultraviolence", her second album, the American singer received us to the point on the passions she unchains. Paris Match-You often declared that you wanted to stop everything, that you do not wish to sing any more. And nevertheless, you bring out your second album … Lana Del Rey-When I declare this kind of thing, I really mean it. But often, people asked me if I had a new album ready. And I didn't have any. I would not have enjoied crying out that I had a wonderful record if it had not been the case. It was often badly interpreted, transformed into " she will never sing again ". What triggered the desire to sing new songs? My meeting with Dan Auerbach. He really changed my life, simply by being what he is: a funny, nice guy. We met in a club the 21th December, we danced on the dancefloor. And he said to me with a grinning tone: " you should come with me to Nashville, and we will see what will happen there" I took the plane with him … I wanted to try, and thanks to him I understood that I had no fun any more with my team. You did not have songs in stock at that point ? I had an entire album ! I recorded twelve tracks, I had produced everything myself, but Dan opened my eyes. He told me that my songs sounded too much like classic rock, too seventies. And he took things in hand. Did he dispossess you of your album? Yes, but it was for my own good. Throwing myself in his arms was also a way to put me in danger. He brought a different way of playing, different instruments, he gave an organic aspect to this record, which I thus recorded twice. Every evening we partied with the musicians, we listened to the bands, it was a real pleasure during five weeks. And it made me infinitely less nervous. In your texts you show yourselves becoming more and more sarcastic. " I want the money, the power and the glory ", you shout out. Need to let off steam ? Obviously... If this record is called "Ultraviolence", it is because it describes well what I felt in my private life. I lived the joy of seeing that my songs pleased and, at the same time, I had to put up with the criticisms, often very virulent. And it leaves scars. But I reassure you, I do not want either the power or the money, or the glory, but it's been said so much about me that I eventually took them literaly … Some songs are a big " fuck you " to all those who think instead of me, all those who think that they know who I am, what I want. Every day I have to face people who think that I am a joke. And the worst, is that my career was launched on this misunderstanding ! Did you really suffer from it ? Yes, it was hard, I was unhappy, I felt miserable. And I still did not overcame it, I do not know if I'll be able to do so one day. Carl Jung said that what people think of you always ends up becoming a part of your psyche. Whether you like it or not. So, yes, at a point, I eventually admitted that I was the one that people described on the Internet, in newspapers, the "manipulated doll". It changed my way of seeing my career, but did not affect at all the way I write. And this is what is the most important in the end. Don't you think that sometimes you provoked these reactions ? We saw you in ads for H&M, for example, which has nothing to do with the music … I made only one advertising campaign for H&M. The rest, I was recovered … H&M supported me in a period when I could not trust many people. It felt good. Who turned their backs ? The musical magazines. They praised me in July just to belittle me in January. I had to change my plans, find people apt to like what I do to relieve my music differently. Then why not H&M? In these moments, or you drown or you swim. I chose not to be taken away by the wave. But still you wrote " My pussy taste like Pepsi Cola ". Do you understand that it does not please some people ? [she laughs] Oh come on, honestly, that did not make you laugh ? People need to stop taking everything too seriously. It is the only provocative sentence I might have written and I find it particularly funny Younger, did you dream about this life ? I wanted to become a singer, but I did not know how to reach there. It is true that I dreamed to sing in Italy, to come to Paris, to sleep in Versailles. I imagined in no way that I would be singing for Harvey Weinstein, in Cannes, or writing for films. My road is really surprising, Each day still brings a lot of surprises, good or bad. The rumour says that it is your father who financed your first album. No, I had no relations with my father at that time. He's a very good person, but he doesn't know anything about music. And, frankly, do you really think that you can buy a contract from a label ? The truth is that when I was 18, I participated to a songwriting competition and I met the boss of a label which offered me a contract one month later. During two years nothing happened, my disc stayed in boxes. I thus continued to sing in clubs. The story of my father is a good story for the magazines, but it is false. My parents wanted me to find a "real" job, to become a lawyer. They did not believe in the music. I lived in New York with my fiancé, my parents in Lake Placed, which is like 7 hours aways from NY. They were far from my reality. You lived ten hard and difficult years. What remains of them ? I was often discouraged, I was already making my own videos which nobody noticed. So, yes, I thought that I would never have any success, but I always knew that I was a singer, that I had something different from to the others, a voice, especially. I also knew that the music pleased me more than people, it was a world where I felt at home. Before "Video Games" exploded, I thought about finding a job to sustain me… I was 24 years old, I sang for seven years, I had arrived at the end of a cycle. Did moving to Los Angeles change your life ? I moved in Los Angeles only last year. When things were carried away to me, I settled down in London where I lived three years. L.A. did good to me, I met a musical community. And I have the impression that I found a safe place, a loophole. Is it important for you to be American ? No, even if I love my country. I spent so much time in planes that I do not feel any more attached in the United States. Here, in Versailles, I feel at home. And I felt the same way the first time as I stepped in Los Angeles. Do you have any friends in the industry ? One or two, no more … Friends from before your rehab ? I didn't have any at that time. I was very lonely, alone, well,I had alcohol, but I was so high that it does not allow to create true relations. I met my best friends in New York, once I was clean. I regret a little bit this period because I am not really happy in my current life. (Lana Del Lawyer : Born to Judge )

plz kill me such a badly done fake The interview+Brooklyn Baby I'm just too weak right now For the SoC video I think we can hope for it, since her promo for this era is taken more seriously. For Quentin Tarantino, it would be so great, but since she wrote "Florida Kilos" with Harmony Korine, I also pray for him to make a video
