I'm going to sleep, i expect this thread to be at least 40 pages when I wake up. Time to let the universe do its thing 

just focus on the jaw and punch it from below. a knock.out

I was hearing this interview (from 2012) in the morning 
and there's a part where she says she spent the last ten years writing in NY documenting her life in song form so maybe K is kinda real idk + why hasn't anyone asked Lana about K? Could help a little don't you guys think?

Lana go to rehab for once and don't release LIB as single for Honeymoon 
 
 
 
 
 
Dear John PLEASE DON'T

The trip to Lake Placid seems so appealing right now

Visit Fordham University's Rose Hill Campus where she attended college. Listening to "Fordham Road", wander through the Bronx (careful, it's a "bad neighborhood"!) on your way there and see if you can find the cheap coffee place on Valentine or the "stone Mary in the garden". On campus, stop in to the McGinley Center there and check out the ballroom where she sang at a fundraiser. Cross campus to Rodrigue's Coffee House in Alumni House where Lana played several gigs (including her first known gig and another one the same night as the fundraiser). Get caffeinated imagining Lizzy singing "Get Drunk" and "Pawn Shop Blues" here while playing acoustic guitar. 
Visit more venues where she performed in her early years. They're all listed in the Early Shows section. (Keep in mind that some venues have closed or moved since then. I've tried to list the original addresses in the show threads when possible, but I'm not sure it's 100% accurate.) Explore her Williamsburg stomping grounds at night listening to "Oh Say Can You See". Wander through alleys and look at the bars.
 
Visit the trailer park where she lived, Manhattan Mobile Home Park at 4828 Tonelle Ave. in North Bergen, New Jersey if it hasn't been demolished yet. (It doesn't appear to have been based on Google StreetView photos from December.) Take the Lincoln Tunnel which inspired the "tunnel lined with yellow lights" lyric in "Yayo" as you take yourself "from this dark trailer park life."
 
Definitely visit Coney Island. Walk down Mermaid and Neptune Avenues. Eat cotton candy and explore the boardwalk while listening to "Mermaid Motel". Ride the coasters and the Wonder Wheel. Stick your toes in the sand while listening to "Kill Kill". Lie in the ocean singing her song. Check out the aquarium before you go. Come back for the annual Mermaid Parade.
 
You might also consider traveling down the Jersey Shore to a couple similar boardwalk destinations, Seaside Heights, where I think she wrote "Trash Magic", and Wildwood, where one of her classic photo shoots was taken.
 
And if you're really hardcore, consider a road trip to beautiful Lake Placid, where she grew up.
 
If you do any of this please take pictures and post about it!

I don't have time to respond to this entire post right now, but I couldn't not respond quickly to this part:
 

You could, you know, respond to what I've actually written or ask me to clarify what I've written rather than putting words in my mouth and making straw arguments. I never said all the media criticism was valid nor did I endorse any of the accusations you listed. What I did say is that she accused the media of slander against her and her family about things she continues to lie about in the same breath, and that she falsely claimed that she doesn't have money and that her family never had any money. In the same response that she mentions media slander, she says, "Everything they wrote was fucking crazy. Like about my dad, about me, like having millions of dollars, and all this shit." While I don't doubt that there were lean periods for her family financially, or that her father may have sustained large losses in the market during the bursting of various bubbles, or that much of his net worth was merely on paper, or whatever caveats you'd like to add, I'm quite confident in concluding that her father did have at least a million dollars (if not millions), and what you yourself wrote supports that conclusion. Later in the interview she says, "Saying I came from billions of dollars is crazy. We never had any money." I think it's telling that she moves the goalposts from millions to billions mid-interview, because I think she knows her dad probably is worth a couple million. No one ever said she came from billions of dollars, although she certainly did rub elbows with her dad's business contacts who were billionaires. At any rate, even if I am somehow wrong about her dad having millions of dollars, her claim that her family "never had any money" is just patently false. One need not even consider her father's business assets to determine this. It is obvious considering the property her father owns and the cost of tuition at Kent. Again, I never said anywhere, and do not necessarily believe, that her dad significantly funded her career (though I also don't think he was completely uninvolved in her career either). If Lana defended herself against this accusation by saying "My dad didn't fund my career" I would simply leave it at that. But that's not what she says. She says, "We never had any money" when the opposite is true. And if lying about coming from privilege weren't shitty enough, she has the gall to accuse the media of slander for saying so.

And it gets worse. Later in the interview she says, "Before I had no money. And now everything I make, I lose. So I don’t have money again, because I lose half." Perhaps she's referring to all the other people she has to pay, but presumably she's referring to taxes. It's one thing when rich people bitch about how much they have to pay in taxes. (And I confess, most of you would probably consider me rich, and I've been known to express sticker shock about how much I've had to pay at one time, but not that it was unfair. In fact, I think I should have to pay more.) But it's a whole 'nother thing for the rich to not only claim that they're not rich after taxes, but that they don't have any money afterwards. Boo fucking hoo. Tell it to your topiary pony, Lana.

On a final note, I really take issue with this:
Frankly, this is an incredibly presumptuous and rude remark, especially considering this was your first post made mere hours after joining the forum. You might take some time to familiarize yourself with members' views and contributions to the forum before making insulting comments like that toward them. If you're going to wing in here and question other fans' presence on a discussion forum for expressing their honest criticism, then, I may ask, why are you here?

Welcome to LanaBoards!

Once Upon A Dream is sleepy as fuck I skip it every time and Big Eyes gets is boring the chorus starts tbh

Once Upon A Dream is sleepy as fuck I skip it every time and Big Eyes gets is boring the chorus starts tbh

Yeah that's not happening.

I doubt this part is true. If there are pictures of her with millionaires on private jets and with Miley, we would know about that.
I don't remember seeing a pic with Miley, and the few pictures we have of her with big crowds + family seem more like friendly gatherings

Riqth   not being mean or anything but I mean 
 
Anyways, I think LIB is beautiful but not album worthy. If Lana is trying to pull a Bel Air with LIB I don't like it, the way she presented left me feeling like it was a movie soundtrack and lately tbh her soundtracks are trash so I'm expecting this to be trashy too  but if she releases it as a promo single I won't be mad. There's a whole album left    

Used a twitter search engine to find the oldest tweets of Lizzy Grant
 
best find was probably a new LQ photo/screencap? from the National Underground @@evilentity

Apparently @ShawnMSmith (the guy who reviewed the show on Exile) thought she was hot...  
Holy shit, Lizzy Grant is fucking hot.
2:23 AM - 25 Oct 2008 I stand by what I said about 3 weeks ago: "Lizzy Grant is fucking hot."
9:56 PM - 21 Nov 2008 At National Underground with @wingedfeetxc to see Lizzy Grant. She's super hot. http://twitpic.com/ps07
 2:49 AM - 3 Dec 2008
 
Last time I twittered from a Lizzy Grant show, I ended up putting my foot in my mouth. Let's just say things are going well again. Ha.
 1:38 AM - 17 Dec 2008 --  
Still clearly thirsty by 2010 as he attended the Jan 2010 show
 
Off to Lizzy Grant show. Hope I get there in time.
12:38 AM - 23 Jan 2010   --   @MikeGoldenDaily Lizzy grant is fuckin hot

@auraluvsu
If I miss this Lizzy Grant show waiting on some tacos, I'm going to fight someone tonight
1:34 AM - 25 Oct 2008  
-- Which opens up the biggest lana mystery. Were they waiting for tacos or burritos? 
 
This tweet by @MarkGhuneim says he was listening to an advanced copy of the EP by August 2008. Mark was a part of Wiredset which was the force behind the viralness of the Kill Kill video,. 
New LP's/recordings I am listening to: Cut Copy, Stereolab, The Walkmen, Lizzy Grant (advance), Glasvegas (7")
 3:50 PM - 29 Aug 2008

Lizzy Grant at the National Underground was fantastic. Almost as good were the beers that Radio Exile bought me.

Heading out soon for full day in the city: lunch w/cult specialist, cupcakes with Lizzy Grant & Comedy Central screening w/friend tonight.
3:49 PM - 5 Feb 2009 I just spent three hours with Lizzy Grant and I'm kind of in love with her.
 10:51 PM - 5 Feb 2009
 
This was for the meeting for this iconic interview http://www.huffingtonpost.com/felicia-c-sullivan/interview-singersongwrite_b_159346.html
 
and here we have the first Lana hater
@YPCoopCity
I hate Lizzy Grant
4:19 AM - 11 Aug 2010

I totally think Mike stalks this thread. In fact I think he allegedly even made an account here and posted in this thread. It could be truly him We aren't creepy mike I swear  
Btw is lizzy the blonde hottie they talk about in comments? It must have been and he deleted the photo?
 
And Mike holding a can of PEPSI in photo 2...

I said this 100 times: Lana is a storyteller first and a writter second. I think she met very interesting people among her life. I would be surprise if she lived more than 1 month in a trailer park and if she never lived in one wouldn't be a surprise at all. I think she creates several characters some probably based in people she met in her life others from her own imagination. I don't think she ever had a drug problem related to cocaine, meth and the hardcore ones. Maybe she started abusing alcohol at young age....maybe not.
 
I think she lies sometimes, sometimes she creates a character. In my opinion the difference between Lana and most is the fact she created that vision. the lie or character is in part who she wanted to be and how she sees certain types of girls. The difference between her and most is the fact she is a character of her own creation and she is in control of that character because he is a part of her. The character fits her since is her.
 
I think Lana is very smart, very political and has a opinion about society and uses the integration between sound (music) and image (videos) to give life to her visions/stories. I think National Anthem is a genious criticism towards US and is a very interesting political and social video. I think Lana is very ironic as well.
 
She is a liar but her lies are carefully chosen and even in that she is in control
 
There are 2 types of people who will always have to prove themselves more: the ones born in extreme poverty and the ones born with a golden spoon. The poor girl surviver story is in a way a ice breaker
 
IMO in the pop scene I would say Miley is going for the same line character wise but in a completely different trajetory the thing is that just like Lana she is in control.

I may be manufactured-but at least I'm the one whose behind it. XXX LDR
