How is FJM busy?

Here, you can see me handling life problems 

OH GOD I GOT THE WRONG TIME NONONO

I planned my day around it because I got the calculations wrong and thought it was now I AM SO DONE

I never say "interscope made her do x" but, interscope told her ass to do some promo and she went out and did the bare minimum and now she's going home to eat spaghetti and forget that she has an album coming out.  

Um, you must be blind. She was stunning here 

I compiled some comments Lana has made about her career in interviews from all stages, so that when people start whining about what they want out of her career they can remind themselves about what she wants   
 
 
 

Lana: "Soon"
 
Me:
 

IF LANA SAYS "SOON" ONE MORE TIME...
 

*stans success*
*stans Lana Del Ray*
 

this is an opinions thread and it's dumb as hell to argue but since u wanna go there
 
1. some of the loveliest and most playful lyrics she's ever written, they're meant to invoke a theme and feeling reminiscent of golden hawaii 
2. a FANTASTIC instrumental, the guitar intro is what honeymoon should've sounded like, the drums are heavenly and sexy - the guitar throughout is so surf noir
3. "awful composition" literally where tho? like where are the specific examples that's so vague

Her best cover?           

Are you shaming strippers? Lana has plenty of songs about strippers. Hell, she played one in the Tropico film. Please stop. Go go dancer is about a stripper and its a great song.

OMG IT WON'T LET ME POST ANYMORE OF THESE

Why do people brag about having not listened to Best American Record/Architecture? 
 
It's not like Lana is gonna show up at your house with a reward...

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting Lana to be more active in terms of providing more than just bare minimal effort for her fans, and it certainly doesn't mean she has to "sell out." No one is saying she owes us anything. It is, however, disappointing to be fans of someone who literally does almost nothing beyond just dropping the album and releasing a few subpar music videos. Yes, the music is great and lovely and at the end of the day we will all listen to it, but it quickly runs dry.
 
Lana doesn't care for being mainstream, and I don't blame her after what she went to, nor would it suit her either. However!! Not being mainstream doesn't mean she should literally just scrape by with doing almost nothing. Lana should take advantage of being on such a large label and use their resources to craft eras that she feels comfortable with.
 
For example, she hates singing live television -- why not record a few intimate performances of your favourite songs off the album and post them on Youtube periodically throughout the year? Just her and the band.
 
She doesn't like extensive & exhausting promotion -- you don't want to appear on TV mopping the floor with Jimmy Fallon, fine, we get it. Why not just host a few livestreams that last more than 30 seconds so your fans can see/interact with you??
 
Interviews depress you & make you want to kill yourself because the questions are always dumb and passive aggressive -- why not do a Q/A with your fans where you get to pick the exact questions you want to answer?
 
Lana seems to really like the process of actually making the album and then quickly loses interest in it almost immediately to move on to the next one. Why not document the entire album recording process, showing us how she crafts each song, talking about the history/meaning behind each one...
 
Idk. There's lots of things she can do to make the fan experience a whole lot better + remain completely comfortable in LA going to work or the coffee shops. The fact also remains that she won't maintain her popularity/sales at this level of effort and will quickly lose the ability to even make the kind of music she really wants to.
 
wow this ended up so long this is what happens when u go on lanaboards to distract u from midterms 

Or maybe some people just have different tastes.

I spent several months thinking Best American Record was beyond ugly and now that it's called Architecture all I want is BAR back 

will y'all give it a fucking rest

will y'all give it a fucking rest

Last night, Lana saw the musical 'Finding Neverland' at the Hollywood Pantages Theatre in Los Angeles, CA. She took pictures with the cast after the show.

She looks so happy! I'm glad she had a fun night.

"Thank you Lana Del Rey for joining us at Finding Neverland at the Pantages! You are so sweet and dealt with all of us lining up to take pictures like it was nothing! Thank you"

 
 
 
"This is a progression of [Victoria] saying, 'you're married, Thomas' which made Lana laugh hysterically."
