Miss Tropicana

She looks like herself in 2006

There’s this signed Video Games vinyl being sold by her old label, Stranger Records. Available to buy on https://strangerrecords.bigcartel.com/product/lana-del-rey-video-games-7-pre-order . I believe it’s pretty rare? Don’t know how trustable they are

Used to be here, now it’s private https://youtube.com/watch?v=MA-J9Y_Sbmc

This song is about Chet Baker!

Lyrics written by her on the description of the homemade Boarding School video “Everyone from town says that you’re so cool Come on Everybody do the Boarding School La La lets do drugs Make Love with your teacher Come on date a towny Let the Tattoo Beat ya I'm a fan of pro Ana nation”

Right lyric is “Come on everybody, do the Boarding school”. Not “to the Boarding School”

Caroline will be singing live on Jimmy Kimmel this Thursday!

I feel like she knows most of fans love anything she puts out, and that’s why she stays in her comfort zone. It’s kind of sad to see how her videos used to be and how they are now. It was a cute video, I guess. Nothing more than that.

Jack Antonoff recently made a video in which he talks about producing “Mariners Apartment Complex” & “The Greatest”. And apparently shows demo material of “The Greatest” too. Trailer video: Full thing is about 100 minutes long, it is available on https://mixwiththemasters.com/itt35 but it’s required to be a pro-member to watch it. Or buy access to it after becoming a normal member. Info about this video release: “In this series, we learn about how the versatile creator got involved in songwriting, recording, and production, and progressed from his analog roots to current approaches and techniques. Antonoff imparts his opinions and philosophy on such vital matters as vocal style vs. lyrics, writing sessions, capturing emotion and space, analog vs. digital equipment, simultaneously writing and producing, committing to takes and sounds, collaboration, sharing a vision, avoiding vocal booths, mixing your own productions, and more. He dives into the multi-track session of ‘The Greatest’ by Lana Del Rey, taking you through the initial guitar chord progression from which the song was developed, early demo material, unusual decisions regarding instrumentation and levels, lyrical arrangement, and a variety of parts that includes acoustic guitars, piano, Mellotron, drums, cellos, synthesisers, vocals, and electric sitar!”

“Are you a Libra?”Del Rey asks, perceptively. It’s an incredible deduction based on four words and maybe 30 seconds’ interaction. “I only think of star signs because it’s come up in my writing for the next thing I’m doing,” she says,with a chuckle, as we pull up two chairs to a round table with a bowl of tiny red apples at its centre. “I never cared before.I did get you right as a Libra, though.Typical Libra answer.” Lana’s a Cancer. Born on 21 June, 1985, in New York City, as Elizabeth Woolridge Grant. “All water.A little fire.Carry my home on my back, like a crab. Crybaby. Compatible with Scorpio and Pisces,which is funnily enough my sister and my brother. Kind of cute, huh? I’m on the cusp of Gemini, which takes care of my more theatrical side." She presses record on her phone. Don’t worry, it’s just a precaution. “I’ve never needed it since I started doing it.” But there was that one time she wished she had done it, so she always records Part of the interview, are we sure those are lyrics of the song? Hm....
