lola

lol you're optimistic. my prediction is she's going to do a few interviews in like february or early spring mentioning the album and possibly mentioning plans for a new single, then be silent for 3 months, announce the single, the single doesn't come out (lol obviously), it comes out like 2 months later with a homemade video and we don't hear anything about the album till fall

he produced bel air, blue jeans, the orchestral young & beautiful and i think the score for tropico (and maybe other stuff as well) so yes it's good!

i doubt she's making -that- much money off of it tbh. like, who is going to pay for 3 songs that have been out for over a year and a video they can watch for free besides fans who want to support her? i wonder how she got interscope (or whoever paid for it) to finance it. all of her music videos have been quite large projects even though not all of her singles were big commercial successes

well she always insists she writes every line of every song and it just adds to the lana-del-lies-list. plus mandler calling lana del rey a character and other people being involved in the songwriting process could indicate the songs aren't entirely autobiographical. lots of people have co-writers but they're usually honest about it and credit them, what does the fact that lana doesn't do this say? is she just worried about not being taken seriously as a songwriter or does she not want people to know about the role other writers play in her ~process~?

god i hope so (for barrie's sake tbh). how many songs can she write about boyfriends from years ago?

is this the boyfriend that was in music but not a musician? lol this is so weird, i thought lana wrote all of her songs, apparently she hires insanely hot male models to write them with her

she bought (or rented?) the trailer from the 10k advance she got from 5 points records

hm, i don't think she would move backwards

i don't think he necessarily means a farewell to "lana del rey" since she's been lana del rey/ray since like...2008/2009? maybe he's talking about the whole gangsta nancy sinatra/50s/"degenerate beauty queen" image. i think it's really interesting that he talked about a character but i'm not entirely sure what that says about the lyrics in born to die and paradise. and maybe lana del ray (in the aka album) and may jailer were also characters? she always said she saw lana del rey as an art project, i guess tropico is her final work of art for this lana del rey project. so...will she change her name?

she's with universal and awards are all about money and politics (not even dissing lorde, it's like that with all acts)

"Pick your role models wisely, find out what they did and do it." She said this in her MySpace interview and I really think she does this but not primarily with Kurt Cobain, I think she'd have a very different image, sound and just morals in general if Kurt Cobain was her main role model. She seems to be quite fascinated mainly by Priscilla Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Jackie O's lifestyle and looks, I mean she played Marilyn and Jackie of them in the National Anthem video, her vocals from the Born to Die era have been compared to Marilyn and she loves being loved and "she was born to be the other woman" (Marilyn). Whenever she's talked about Kurt Cobain (or most male men she's inspired by) she just talks about how she likes their face and that's enough for her which is why I think she doesn't know too much about them, all of her references to them are quite shallow. I think it's kind of immature how Barrie obviously imitates Kurt with his clothing style (reminds me of that guy from DIIV and Sky Ferreira) and how they seriously believe their idols are their only friends.

huh there really are ufos, i didn't even see them when i watched tropico. wtf that doesn't make any sense. maybe ultraviolence is going to be kind of outer space-themed? i don't think it fits with kurt cobain at all, she seems to have very shallow knowledge of her idols and i doubt she even knows about that quote and even if she did, him thinking he was an alien as a little child =/= ufos in the sky while ascending to heaven

azealia needs to blow someone at the grammys so lana wins something. i'm looking at the noms rn and lol the grammys are a joke. whatever, a grammy nom will definitely look good in her bio

just got a newsletter saying

no it isn't, a few scenes spliced together don't make a storyline

i hope she works w rick rubin again. emile haynie needs to stay away

the robbing scene is rly cool

he's 20

well it's not really a short film but more of an extremely long music video. it's pretty visuals with a very vague storyline. i really liked the robbing scene, that looked like something out of a movie and charlie is cool af, lana should include him in more stuff. i'm glad we'll never have too see shaun again though (unless she pulls a bradley and he'll be in every video for ultraviolence )

didn't she say the new record was going to be stripped-back and spiritual? ultraviolence sounds more like an electronic album to me. idk maybe it's a concept album accompanying a clockwork orange but if it isn't, referencing a movie wouldn't rly make sense if it has nothing to do with it. and is pregnant/engaged/married or not?

idk i'm not -that- into pop but i tried Best single: Lady Gaga - Applause Worst single: Britney Spears - Work Bitch Best album: ...........Lorde - Pure Heroine (I guess? Idk it grew on me after like 1 1/2 months and then I got over it after a week but I didn't like any other pop albums so....) Worst album: Lady Gaga - Artpop Major artist with disappointing music most at odds with ability to demand better: Lady Gaga Most annoying online fanbase: Beliebers, Directioners, Monsters, Team Lana (all of them every year tbh) Most deluded artist: lol all of them
