Swan Song

This Pitchfork list is a joke. I love Grimes but Oblivion on number 1? LOL

Well it's not exactly "misheard" but I thought that when she sang in West Coast
 
"His parliament's on fire and his hands are up"
 
she described a very romanesque-y scene, where she would have been the companion in crime of a very important man (hence the Parliament) and the fact that that building was on fire made me wonder what kind of crime they had committed, and the police was there ("his hands are up") etc etc... My fantasy was really fed with those few lines and then I read that recent interview (don't know which one precisely) where the journalist describes Lana smoking a Parliament. So it was just a cig. Meh ...

I think this one really looks legit as fuck 

What an incredible song and opening track to Ultraviolence. The guitars, this "narco-swing" inspired this cover. They are very desert-y, I used this paparazzi photo of Lana filming the video for West Coast and retouched it a lot, then added these gradient effects which i think really represent the psychadellic sound of the song. I felt this photo of Lana is perfect because it looks like she's embarking on a journey, which I think the song really is.
 

I want her to record herself sassily saying bitch so I can edit it into Meet Me In the Pale Moonlight and not feel like I want to punch myself in the face when I hear the ~censor gap~

I've got admit. G&R has grown on me a fair bit tbh BC you can see the potential Lana has for future tracks especially with my fav verse-We should've left Las Vagas and began again/To get back to Detroit/Back to the promised land. The chorus is still awful but there are element's of greatness tbh

I love Lucky Ones

Your songs seem to put melancholy in an environment of opulence. Is this your intention or does this happen accidentally? 

I feel like I make happy songs, but when others listen to them, they think they’re sad. I can’t escape from my life, which has been wavy. Three years after my debut album, I’m still suffering from self-doubt and depression. Ahead of me there’s uncertainty and a feeling of emptiness. I don’t like it when I don’t know where I’m going. My love life, my family – are so fragile. I’m not sure of anything.
 
Can we stop calling her hipster queen and begin to call her EMO queen now?? Slay My Emo Prozac Queen

The blasphemy on this thread tho

I WANT Cruel World, but it SHOULD be Brooklyn Baby.

lmao at the boobs

L.A.-based DJ-Producer Chris White, a.k.a Whiite, has revealed a remix of Lana Del Rey's "Shades of Cool" with a bonus — he turned the brooding chanteuse into a comic book character for the cover art. Del Rey's caricature finds her with flaming red hair and wearing an American flag T-shirt tied at the front. It's rumored that White is working on a graphic novel series and our fingers are crossed that Del Rey is a developing character.

Um Juliette Lewis was one of the people that outright slammed her on twitter for SNL 
 
 

But for the record:
source part 1 part 2 
"People".

Ha. "People". That is impressive vagueness. But I don't really care. I'm just glad she's finally acknowledging it. But this makes me suspect Brian Hiatt's been reading our forum even more. "Shaving off". I've used that phrase to describe this at least once.
 
I think she's probably conflating a couple things here. Both Gaga and Lana played consecutive new writer showcases at the Cutting Room put on by the Songwriter's Hall of Fame (SHOF) which Bob Leone worked for as Projects Director. The Monday night lineups she's referring to were probably Monday night open mics at Makor that were also put on by the SHOF. You can see more about those gigs in the "Early Shows" section.
 
Regarding Axl Rose:

 
Wow. It's truly fascinating that one of the most subtly written portrayals of a problematic relationship in modern pop music may be accidental, the writer not self-conscious of it.
 
Paging @@FormerLanaFan.
 
I would love a Buzzfeed-style "Cunt-ries of the World" map of what Barrie imagines each nation's delicacies taste like.

 
She sheds more light on her relationship with a record label exec:
It's almost like she wants us to figure it out.
 
Who knew dry-humping jokes were the way to a woman's heart? (Skip to 3:46.)

 
Yo, Franco, I'm really happy for you, I'ma let you finish... but Barrie-James was one of the best boyfriends of all time. One of the best of all time!

I hope so. BB, ITH and SOC are some of the best songs on the record...

Sorry but the Y&B video is very atmospheric and haunting. Simple, but perfect for the song and she looks gorgeous.

You are so wrong, pls leave

UV doesn't have any filler tracks, and that's what makes it a great album.

Really? Omg!  

And in FMWUTTT she'll be sipping on Lorde's blood

1. Lana was called to a costume party and had nothing to wear.
2. She put her favorite white party dress, stole her grandmother's knitting tea tablecloth and some flowers in the yard.
3. Asked her gay best friend to turn the tablecloth towel into a veil. 
4. The party was thrown by Vogue so when Lana saw the oranges she thought "Better eat something since don't fead the models is a thing"
5. A friend was filming the trajectory until the Church.  Praying is in Vogue these days, so the theme was birth of baby Jesus
6. Got home quite drunk, passed the video to the laptop and inadvertently gave upload. 
7. Lana is still sleeping and still doesn't know the video is online

Im going to get "Life Is beautiful, but you dont have a clue." Its kind of to remind myself that when Im very down.

I've always loved "Been trying hard not to get into trouble but I've got a war in my mind" from Ride.
Also that whole bit in ITH "You're a hard man to love and I'm a hard woman to keep track of". 
 
 
BB is so lovely. What lyrics in particular were you thinking about choosing?
