can't stand florence at all, sorry. i find her music incredibly dull and boring, and to me, it all sounds the same.
 
well done del rey, beautiful as always.
 
are you sure you're even a lana del rey fan?

I cannot stand Florence's style of singing... and after the "No Light" video, I was kind of done tbh, what a mess.

BEST NEW : One Direction
BEST PUSH : Carly Rae Jepsen
BEST ALTERNATIVE : LANA DEL REY (among Florence + the Machine, The Black Keys, Arctic Monkeys, Jack White. This is the real artists category tbh)

I told one of my exes that his dick tastes like honey, I'm gonna sit and wait for my song. tho

I wonder what I taste like maybe I should ask

Yep, it's that time of week again! (Actually, we're rather overdue, but I bet TrailerParkDarling has enjoyed her several weeks in the homepage spotlight.) I'm happy to present our newest Member of the Week, myriiiam! Hers was one of the closest races we've had so far in the forum, but in the end she won. Read her interview, bask in her glory, listen to her song and weep...Her answers are thoughtful and I, for one, am glad she shared with us!
 
 

Member of the Week: myriiiam!


 
 
 
 
 
Congrats, myriiiam, and thanks for being an awesome member! I think all your voters would agree

This is a 'cover' I made of Yayo like a month ago.
I was very sad that day and half drunk but I like to listen to it sometimes to remind myself how far I've come (I'm sorry about the background noise, I was sitting by my window)
 
If you decide to listen, I apologize to your ears and please don't hate me for ruining the song lol

i mean it - i hope you record more, be it lana songs, or your own songs. did you read what monicker wrote? http://lanaboards.co...ver/#entry22054 - words to live by, true punk philosphy. experiment. sing. write. record. your voice has such a vulnerable quality and such a beautiful tone (to use a word lana likes ) in these tough times, music is such a wonderful outlet, and through sonic catharsis you can express your feelings and exorcize the demons and feel better, and in sharing what you create (be it your own material or your interpretation of others' work) you can connect with others, too ♥

I just saw this in one of her old interviews, and probably is the most accurate depiction of how she imagines her past life.

“All the good stuff is real but isn’t, myself included. Coney Island is a place people go to escape, but whatever you choose to be your reality is your reality. So, in a way it’s just as real as anything else. I mainly let my imagination be my reality. Fantasy is my reality.”

I don't think she has claimed anywhere that she had jobs. All she has said is that she volunteered for drug/alcohol outreach/rehab, and did some $100 odd-jobs off Craigslist. She also got the $10,000 signing bonus from 5 Points records that she used to rent and outfit her trailer. It is very likely that her dad supported her (plane tickets back and forth from UK, living/renting costs in NYC, the studio costs for recording the nearly 100 tracks (should be quite substantial)) but I don't see that as a problem. If I had the money and my kid had a dream to make it as a musician, I would do the same.

Alcoholic and heroin addict, dropped a lot of acid, arrested for public indecency/ profanity.. basically lived a very destructive, chaotic life and didn't give a damn what anyone thought...which led to his death at 27

You don't like NLMG? Yikes, praying for you.
 
 
Actually the simple fact is it doesn't have a single fucking thing to do with me or my love life or my happiness so you all can go ahead and shut the fuck up about that now because I'm done hearing it! I just plain don't like its generic lyrics and music. I'll give props to her vocal performance because it's outstanding, but the rest of it does absolutely nothing for me.
 
 
Finally some agreement

We’re sipping cocktails, looking down upon the riot
He whispered, “Baby, love the way you look tonight.
I wanna save you, save you from the world outside.”
I know it seems you’re all I wanted and much more
But then, to tell the truth, I’ve been through this before
They say, “I’ll save you, save you”
But they never do
 
I think you know I want to believe you
But in my heart I know that I’ll leave you
It’s sort of sad how instincts deceive you
Or does it please you?
 
Everything you say makes me wanna stay
But everything you’ve done makes me wanna run, run, run
 
I make the decision that I can’t be with you
Walking out the door but I already miss you
Thinking about how I used to kiss you
But I’m getting butterflies (x2)
 
I make the decision that I’m too good for you
When I see you calling, it’s hard to ignore you
Try to be strong but, babe, I adore you
I’m getting butterflies (x2)
 
Back in high school in the yard, we used to fight
But you would sneak in through my window every night
I wanna take you, take you, to the world outside
Well, I assumed it’s what I wanted at the time
But your eyes were like a constant warning sign
I wanna take you, take you, and I didn’t mind
 
And even then I didn’t believe you
You had a smile so easy to see through
I know a little, but I know I'll always need you
Try to reach you, try to please you
 
Everything you say makes me wanna stay
But everything you’ve done makes me wanna run, run, run
 
I make the decision that I can’t be with you
Walking out the door but I already miss you
Thinking about how I used to kiss you
But I’m getting butterflies (x2)
 
I make the decision that I’m too good for you
When I see you calling, it’s hard to ignore you
Try to be strong but, babe, I adore you
I’m getting butterflies (x2)
 
I know, I know, I know we aren’t good together
I can’t let go I’m sure that we should be forever
I look around there’s no one above you
I think you know that I’ll always love you
And baby I’m bad, too, it’s not just you
But I can’t wait forever to trust you
 
Everything you say makes me wanna stay
But everything you’ve done makes me wanna run, run, run
 
I make the decision that I can’t be with you
Walking out the door but I already miss you
Thinking about how I used to kiss you
But I’m getting butterflies (x2)
 
I make the decision that I’m too good for you
When I see you calling, it’s hard to ignore you
Try to be strong but, babe, I adore you
I’m getting butterflies (x2)

I was really glad to see that Lana acknowledged Barrie as her boyfriend publicly for the first time in the ElleUK Twitter Q&A! I guess the nearly 10 days they spent together in LA was an important step in their relationship.
 
However, now that we know that Barrie is her boyfriend makes me wonder about her MTV interview earlier this year when she was asked whether she had a boyfriend, and she said yes, that he was someone involved in music, but not a musician! I think it is again one of those small lies that Lana says, for no real reason.

I found this post more interesting. This was the first contact between MM and Lizzy, and I guess led to the interview and their relationship.

This interview throws up some completely new things, she moved to Long Island because she did not want to go to college, WTF, when was that? Noreen and Tim, toured outside America for 3 years? I sometimes feel she just makes up stuff to keep all of us guessing!

Lana seems to have deleted/hidden all the postings/timeline on this FB account (now named something else). It is possible that this post was not something she wanted to be out there (not to mention her actual birthday being listed as 1985). There were also comments she made about Gaga and Katy Perry's music that I guess she regrets making.

I have written this before, but I think Jimmy G was a minor character in her life, as far as a real relationship was concerned. I think she developed a crush on him after meeting him at clubs etc., and as she said in some interview, she was impressed by his rock-star credentials, but realized later that he was only modestly famous. I think the more substantial relationships were with K, and MM. As far as songs are concerned, many of the early songs are about K, while the majority of the later ones are about MM (obviously she refers to both of them in some songs). Jimmy is the inspiration of only a few songs but she intentionally confuses matters by choosing BS for two of the videos, even though the character in Blue Jeans or VG or BTD has nothing to do with what we know of JG. Instead all the three songs of the trilogy seem most closely based on MM's character, with aspects of K's criminality thrown in, but mixed in with JG's looks (tattoos).

haven't had a drink in seven years my ass
