Jane Levy :

Someone awesome made a really great list of the album's production credits taken from the booklet. Great way to see who does what per person instead of per track on the booklet. Just thought the album's production should have its own page!
 

If you haven't heard about this guy, I guarantee you will soon enough. His songs are SO good and I don't know why/how he is still so unknown at this point. If you like 80s-inspired synthpop/dance music with soaring vocals reminiscent of MJ, you'll love St. Lucia.

I found a bunch of old Lake Placid News (LPN), Adirondack Daily Express (ADE), Plattsburgh Press-Rebulican (PPR) articles archived as black and white PDF scans that mention Lizzy, some with photos of her:
 
 
 
Here's a rundown of the rest of the references:
 
Involvement in Sports
Skiing. "Lately, the students of St. Agnes School have accomplished a lot out of school. Many SAS students particpated recently in some exciting ski races: NYSEF World Cup race for JV (ages 7-10). Placings are as follows... Elizabeth Grant 20th". January 25, 1995 LPN Sports page box score showing her run time and placing ("8. Elizabeth Grant   44.33") in the Ed Damp Junior V World Cup. March 12, 1996 PPR
"The New York Ski Educational Foundation (NYSEF) held its annual family race and picnic for participants in the.series last Saturday, at which time the final standings were released... Elizabeth Grant (259)... Completed the top 10." March 23, 1996 ADE
Skating. "The following scholarships have been awarded by the Skating Club of Lake Placid to the skaters named below... $50 scholarships for ice or lessons... Elizabeth Grant." March 27, 1997 ADE Softball. She played center fielder for her middle school team. "Elizabeth grant [sic] OF-C". April 10, 1998 LPN Involvement in Other Extra-curricular Activities
Choir. "The Lake Placid High School (LPHS) concert started off with the chorus singing 'Psallite'. They song many traditional Christmas Carols [sic]. The chorus personnel are... Elizabeth Grant". March 7, 2000 LPN "After the Women's Ensemble it was the high school chorus' time to shine... Medley from 'Les Miserables' had many soloists, such as... Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN
What song do you think she sang?
Performed in a variety show (as well as Chuck and Charlie). June 23, 2000 LPN Secretary of the high school Key Club. "On Tuesday May 9, the Key Club members welcomed new leadership... Congratulations also go to the new secretary. Elizabeth Grant". June 23, 2000 LPN Staff of the Blue Times Bomber, the school newspaper which appears to have been an insert in the Lake Placid News. January 28, 2000  March 17, 2000 LPN  June 23, 2000 LPN Confirmation. "On Sunday afternoon. May 21, at 4:30 p.m.. Bishop Gerald Barbarito, bishop of Ogdensburg, came to Lake Placid and confirmed more than 50 people from area Roman Catholic churches, including St Agnes... It was a beautiful and solemn ceremony, with the church's altars and pillars decked in red, the bishop in his red chasuble (robe), wearing his miter on his head and holding his staff in hand. On the altar, dozens of red roses arranged in large vases added to the festive atmosphere. The 17 Lake Placid young people, all dressed in white robes, who received the gifts of the Holy Spirit in the sacrament of confirmation included... Elizabeth Grant". May 26, 2000 LPN Honor Roll
 
There are also many articles that list her on the honor roll:
Grade 7, High Honors. January 9, 1998 LPN  February 13, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 LPN  March 27, 1998 ADE  March 30, 1998 PPR  May 29, 1998 ADE  June 9, 1998 ADE  June 19, 1998 LPN  July 31, 1998 PPR Grade 8, Honors. March 5, 1999 LPN  March 8, 1999 ADE  March 12, 1999 LPN  May 7, 1999 LPN Grade 8, High Honors. June 18, 1999 LPN  July 20, 1999  July 23, 1999 LPN Grade 9, Honors. December 24, 1999 LPN  December 31, 1999 LPN  January 28, 2000 LPN This establishes pretty well that she started 9th grade in the fall of 1999. Unless you skip a grade, kids are 14 or 15 when they begin 9th grade (or at least turn 14 shortly after it begins). If Lizzy was really born in 1986 as she claims, she would have just turned 13 the summer before.   
 
Family Members
 
There's also a lot of articles mentioning other members of her family. I didn't spend a ton of time looking at those, but they appear to be mostly about her parents' efforts to organize opposition to a development project (Lake Placid does really remind me of Twin Peaks sometimes) for classic NIMBY reasons, her dad's real estate listings, and Chuck and Charlie's sports exploits (including a huge fish she caught).
 
However, this article describes in greater detail her dad's furniture company mentioned in that Domain Name Journal profile on him and this article gives more background on her family's ownership of "God Bless America" singer Kate Smith's home-- which Lizzy mentioned in this article and was the inspiration for the original title of AKA-- and their attempts to sell it at a large profit rather than an affordable price for the Kate Smith/God Bless America Foundation who wanted to turn it into a museum.
 
Note: Please let me know if any of my links appear wrong. That's a lot of links to copy and paste!

Im subhuman now        My comment wasnt so serious, gosh. Can we just take it easy and make fun of it ? cause its not life-threating... Gretchen agrees with me

Oh and ur opinion that everyone who doesnt like gaga is Madonna´s fan - is not narrow-minded at all. 

like if i am the only one
 
 
 
you got it right
 

I take your comment as a general statement now.  I didnt know this before and I took it personally. I hope its clear now.

I'm currently listening to the VG one and I love it You are so cute too btw

Hello! Thought I'd use my first post on this forum as a way to promote a few of my Lana del Rey covers on YouTube. Check them out here:
 
Video Games

 
Young and Beautiful

 
National Anthem

 
And check out my other videos here:

Thanks!

Anybody a fan of them? It's been forever since they've released anything. New single just came out today.
 
http://youtu.be/xlIcZTU4X78
 
Song starts around 3:24
 
Not sure if it's risky posting this on a Lana forum or not... 
 
 

It was today!
 
 

It got rejected on Coverlandia 
 
but oh well here's my cover and a few other things I've made
 



 

I had a man
He was sweet as pie
I met him as
I walked right by him
He said, Baby, you so fine
That when you walk
Even the stoplights stop to talk
About you
I saw you and I had to make you mine
'Cause you're ultimately the most fine
You know a man like me
Gotta have a woman who's killer
She's gotta be killer
Killer, killer, baby
 
Fly body, dope in the face
Fly body, dope in the face
 
The way you talk, well, you make me smile
And I'm looking down 'cause I'm kinda shy
You know you're so fine that when you talk
Even the roses get up to walk to you
 
You're crazy but I knew that at the time
I just cannot resist your golden grill
And your stupid pickup line
 
Fly body, dope in the face
Fly body, dope in the face
 
There's something about you when you say
C'mon, c'mon with me babe
And I don't know why but I know
Wherever you go I'm gonna follow
 
Fly body, don't mean a thing
Fly body, don't mean a thing
Fly body, don't mean a thing
Fly body, dope in the face
 
You're the gonna be
You're gonna be
The death of me
 
You so fly
You so dope, babe
You so fly
You so dope, babe
 
Fly like a bird
(giggles)

What did she achieve? To be a less hot version of... well basicaly every single artis before 2008? Her albums are not different from what we already heard. And her tours can't be compared to bigger shows like Britney's, Madonna's or even Rihanna's. And don't make me start on her lyrics...
 
 

I am quite curious about numerology. Since Lana seems to have a appreciation for spiritual things  I did her numerological analysis just for fun. Is quite interesting how much a big part of it fits Lana's personality well (at least the little bits that she shows us). To do the numerological analysis you need the persons full name and date of birth. I used 1985 because well...Beth Grant was (almost) for sure born in 85. I had to translate from Portuguese so sorry if I got lost in translation with some words or terms.

Hey, everyone!

 

OK, so, I am not really used to making fan art or anything, but I have had this idea and I decided to put it into practice. We have digital booklets for Born to Die and Paradise, so I thought about doing one for Lana Del Ray, too. 

 

I am not an expert with graphics, but I'm proud of it so I decided to post it here!

 

Here's a "sneak peek" of the booklet, but you guys can download it in PDF on the link below.

 


 

 

Digital Booklet - Lana Del Ray: Download at zippyshare.com

 

It'd mean a lot if you guys downloaded it and told me what you think. 

I tried to draw Lana. Okay, it's unifished but this one is more a sketch.
So what do you think ? Don't judge too hard.
 

 
 

Can I kill myself? *-*
