Honestly, I don't think any of them applies to the actual story. I know it may sound absurd to some, but I buy her story of "seeking safety in other people." She may have romanticized it a little, but I do believe that she was riding 'round the coast, whatever it is that she says. She surely got intimate with a couple of the guys she encountered, but I doubt she was taking advantage of them, nor was she a prostitute. Art is always subject to interpretation and ambiguity, I know that, but this time, I think, we can take Lana at her word.

I received Veronika Decides to Die by Paulo Coelho yesterday for Christmas and I am on the last pages... I don't even have words for this book.

I don't think anyone can or should arrogate to make any assumptions. Don't take offense, but I find such discussions extremely pointless. What do you know about him? Or even more important... what do you know about her? Fans like to make up their very own truth which very often has little to do with reality. And it's unfair on Lana to start hate campaigns against her boyfriend that base on literally nothing but one's imagination.

My advice for her: don't you dare putting on a boring-ass show for that ticket price.

Can I be your groupie?

Did people actually think "Express Yourself" was a cover Lana did? :omgha:

Just like "Dark Paradise"... she performed it once, and I think the reason why she did it once only are fairly obvious.

One really must be blind to think that's her.

I don't think it takes drugs to come up with some pretty irritating and nonsense lyrics that could technically mean anything.

My goodness, I just put myself through the torture of watching one more video of him... and this is one obnoxious brat.

The vinyl mastering of Born to Die and Paradise is - excuse me for using this word - flawless. The CD versions sound a little distorted to me. The CD's high resolution kind of causes a falsified reproduction of the intended sound. But on vinyl, the songs sound way better. Her vocals on some Born to Die tracks sound more dynamic to me, too, than on the CD versions.

Exactly... I was just about to say that. I was traumatized, petrified, paranoid and not myself after watching these utterly shocking, disturbing and troubling ten seconds of video footage. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKY0FsUEMyw For me, this is an exemplary case of kids whose parents have never had an eye on their online activity, nor made any efforts to educate them on all things internet. But judging by all the other videos, this set of parents must be punished for a lifetime. I don't even feel sorry for saying that.

I never understood why journalists waste their time asking questions whose answers can easily be researched or found in other places. If you get to chat with someone who rarely does interviews, shouldn't you try to bring new things to the table?

I'd translate it for you guys tomorrow morning... unless somebody else has volunteered already.

Oh... then get ready to marry me because I just gave this album a 10/10 rating...

8/10

If it's on the vinyl pressing itself, you can easy remove it with a soft and dry cloth. If it cannot be wiped away, it must be under the vinyl pressing and cannot be removed. Cleaning solution and an old cloth? Hell no!

Even though she has collaborated with others on various tracks, I just can't imagine her being featured anywhere.

As the new Marina Board is not expected to open before December 12, I am asking this in here... Are there any Marina collectors among us? Because... I'd like to know if someone would be so kind to scan the back cover of the UK 1-track promo of "Primadonna" and "Power & Control" in high quality... :love:

This is the list of my upcoming 2013 shows... April 6 - Lana Del Rey ( ) - Hamburg April 20 - Marina and The Diamonds - Bruxelles November 13 - Mylène Farmer - Bruxelles I am hoping that Björk will finally add some German dates for her seemingly never-ending Biophilia Tour and that Marilyn Manson will make a solo tour return... and, like every year, I am hoping that something magical is about to happen and that David Bowie announces a comeback tour. I can at least dream, can't I?

I understand there is a natural interest involved with her fans, I am guilty of it myself, because she is quite mysterious in a way, but I think some people take it way too far with their fandom. Saying that this is what you get from being famous seems like a lazy excuse for disrespecting one's privacy. Especially when I hear that from other fans. I have read opinions claiming that Lana is never talking about her past. But let's just take a look at her music. Everything we need to know actually is in her songs.

Just a random thought: don't they have a life?

Thank you. The world would be much easier for some individuals if there was not playground-creating internet for a few utterly obsessed hackers. It's just sad that people do seriously loose themselves within this weird digital hierarchy and begin to grow hate towards others because of it. The saddest of all in my eyes is that people, especially those who possess material, seem to think it is "theirs" while obviously, it belongs to Lana and the people associated with the recording.
