  1. On the plus side, he doesn't know what bagpipes are, so I'm sure she'll give his opinion as much respect as it deserves.

    Worse than that, they were accusing him of being physically abusive, based on their misunderstanding of Ultraviolence.
  3. I keep becoming more convinced that the story of Lana's ex's is both more interesting and less Hollywood-esque than we can tell from her songs, and treating the story that she tells through the songs as an actual diary is fun, but not getting us close to the truth. The fact that she's pretty well dropped the 'K' mythology since Born To Die is evidence, for me, that there were either one or two men in her life who were 'bad boys' around the pre-AKA era, and who then became merged into the guy we call 'K', but she's less interested in those times now. I have a theory that's not founded in anything we know, but makes sense from a literary criticism point of view, that the same person who the first part of Video Games is about is also the character in Blue Jeans, except all of the dramatic events of BJ took place in a game that he was playing while she was watching him, bored, fantasising about making art out his self absorption.

  5. Yes! Here's the instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/zJ58QtgRvr/?taken-by=satan "I see you Satan" has become a bit of a meme among Lana fans.

    In the mid 90's, it seemed that every movie with a sex/seduction scene had to have Glory Box playing. Dummy was one of the rare records that was loved by music snobs as well as finding itself everywhere in popular media - Moby's Play is the only other one that I can think of at the moment.
  7. I'm so happy that this is an actual song (albeit a short one)
  8. ‏@@lanadelrey Thank you so much Mexico. Won't forget it anytime soon. Hasta luego x https://twitter.com/LanaDelRey/status/800594750097289216
  9. ETA: why can I never get Instagram pics to embed? Anyway, this is from Byron's account.
  10. Cat Power - Jukebox (double CD), cheap and second hand.
  11. RIP Leonard It's his song, written about Janis Joplin.
  12. Here's a previous thread that might have some more ideas http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/5073-lana-del-rey-and-intertextuality/?hl=intertextuality
  13. The line about Hunter S Thompson is the best (most accurate and funny) literary reference she's ever made.
  14. While we're on the subject, I agree 100% with Lana that 'nothing happens' in Honeymoon, but it's still the most re-watchable video from the album, imo.
