    I really enjoyed hosting Lana Del Reydio today. Thank you to everyone who listened and a big thanks to everyone who contributed in any way.
     
    Thank you to Riley for starting Lana Del Reydio and acting as DJ for the show.
    Thank you to Riley and Maru the Cat for running the tinychat during the show.
    Thank you to TrailerParkDarling and European for making a lot of the Lana samples I used.
    Thank you to TrailerParkDarling for finding receipts for a couple of the covers.
    Thank you to IamThatGirlLily for writing a first draft of my "Moi Je Joue" segment.
    Thank you to Myriam for your beautiful interview translation I read. (I hope you don't mind.)
    Thank you to Myriam, IamThatGirlLily & others for helping me not butcher the French language quite as badly.
    And of course, a big thank you to Monicker for his wonderful cover of "Money Hunny".
    I hope I didn't forget anyone.
     
    It truly was a collaborative effort.

  10. RileyThomas liked a post in a topic by evilentity in The Mike Mizrahi Movie Mystery Megapost   
    As I've alluded to previously on LanaBoards, and mentioned on my covers-themed Lana Del Reydio show, I've been sitting on some information relating to Mike Mizrahi since June. I sat on it for a long time because I soon became aware of their relationship and I don't feel it's appropriate to dig into Lana's personal relationships with people who are not otherwise public figures, especially naming names, unless there's a clear song reference. And even though I found information of legitimate interest to fans, I didn't know of a way to share it without pointing people in his direction. But since their relationship has already been discussed quite extensively, I now feel there's no harm in revealing the information I found.
     
    Lana has an actress profile on IMDb under Lizzy Grant (I). It lists three films she was supposedly in, all of which take place in NYC and were filmed there. Two of the films, Ho's and Mo's and Mr. Finch are short films directed by Michael L. Mizrahi.
     
    A quick Google search turns up his Youtube account, IamMikeMizrahi. Both films appear to uploaded to this account in their entirety, each split into two parts.
     
    Ho's and Mo's
     
     
     
    Mr. Finch
     
     
     
    The IMDb page for Ho's and Mo's shows Lizzy Grant playing a character named Gina. But neither her nor her character are listed in the film's end credits. If you watch the whole thing, you'll see that she's not in it. However, take a look at the lone comment at the bottom of the Youtube page for Part 1. UhaulJoe (one of Lana's YouTube accounts) writes "Love this movie!!"
     
    The IMDb page for Mr. Finch shows Lizzy Grant playing a character named Katie Finch.
    Again, neither her nor her character are listed in the film's end credits. Based on the age of the Mr. Finch character, if she were to play a Katie Finch, she'd probably have to be his daughter, but there's nothing about that in the plot.
     
    The third movie listed on the Lizzy Grant (I) IMDb profile is White Irish Drinkers which is a feature length film. Lizzy Grant is supposed to have a small role playing a character named Diane. Guess who IMDb lists as a location manager for this film? Yep, Michael L. Mizrahi. Looking through his IMDb profile and other online profiles, it's clear his main profession is as a location scout/manager. (A child actor with a decent IMDb resume named Regan Mizrahi has a larger role in the film, but looking at his Wikipedia page-- yes, this kid has a Wikipedia page-- I don't think he's related. "Son of an actress and a doctor." Although, I supposed it's possible the doctor is not his biological father.) Again, there's no Diane in the movie.
     
    However, I checked out the film from the library and I'm 90% sure I spotted her as an extra. I showed these snapshots to Maru and CalendarGirl back in the days of LDR.FM, and they were 100% certain is was her. She's in the far right of the frame:
     
     
     
    Here's one CalendarGirl took:
     
     
     
    Now before you rush out to buy White Irish Drinkers to complete your Lana collection I should tell you that it looks like kind of a shitty movie and those are the only frames of the entire film that she's in. It rivals those vocal samples I found on that Tamarama song in terms of insignificance.
     
    But WTF is going on here? My suspicion is that this was an exercise in resume padding. Possibly to try to secure roles in other films. Perhaps Poolside, the Rex Arrow film, or

    I also suspect that the Knocks from the Underground review he wrote may have been a friendly or planted interview. (It wouldn't be the first. The Index magazine interview was done by Brea Tremblay, another musician who played at the same Songwriter's Hall of Fame New Writer's Showcase and was also mentored by Bob Leone.) I suspect this based on the fact that they were supposedly together two years (according to a source extremely close to the situation ) in conjunction with the fact that a
    was uploaded to his YouTube account in November 2010 means they had to have been living together at least a couple months prior to the February 2009 Arlene's Grocery show he reviewed, unless their living together overlapped his marriage, which I doubt, or he married the other woman almost immediately after they broke up and the source is exaggerating the two years time frame somewhat. Although, this Facebook post, which predates that show by only a few weeks, sure doesn't sound like they were living together yet. 

     
    I don't know. It's all very strange. But if they were living together at the time of that interview, it means she might have had more control over its content.

    Yes, I'll be discussing that and playing the interview where she said that. And I'll definitely be playing some Elvis. I'm 99% sure what one of the covers she wanted to use on BTD was, so I'll play that song. I don't talk about it on the podcast, but I'll probably speculate in the tinychat on what another one might have been.
     
    Due to my paranoia about copyright infringement, I'm still debating whether to make a download available anywhere "offiicial", like on the podcast page. But if not, I'm sure it will at least circulate unofficially, as all things Lana-related seem to do.
     
    However, Monicker's cover will be available for download on my Soundcloud account after the show.
     
    No, I will not sound like that on the podcast. You will get to hear my real voice. I altered my voice on the teasers to be funny and to try to build a little suspense about getting to hear what I actually sound like. The bleeped parts in the teasers aren't foul language, but information I didn't want to reveal yet. Nothing will be bleeped on the podcast. You will hear me (and Lana) cuss a few times. And I say "vagina" a lot. (I blame that cunt Courtney Love.)

    Hey everyone, I know we've been extremely a bit behind schedule with MotW lately, but Hellion's awesome interview along with the super-amazing-fantastical-cat-tastic interview coming after his will hopefully make up for it! I definitely think it will. Anyway, I had a lot of fun reading this one. It's one of my favorite interviews to date, although everyone's has been great. Let's all give Hellion a round of applause for beating out the.. uh.. thing... that is frankee. We all know that Hellion's sass is insurmountable though, and it sure shows through the interview! You'll all love it. On we go!

  22. HeartshapedChevrolet liked a post in a topic by RileyThomas in Paradise Singles   
    To be honest, I think "American" & "Bel Air" should be the only singles from Paradise to follow "Ride" - I love "Gods & Monsters" & "Cola", but I think they should be kept exclusively to the album because I don't know if they would do that well - "Body Electric" is great, but I'm getting a bit tired of it & I just don't think it's single material - "Yayo" I'd love if she made a video for, but yeah I don't think it should be a single, it's too long, and too special to be popular.
     
    "American" & "Bel Air" - definitely yes.
  23. RileyThomas liked a post in a topic by TIARNZUS in Lana Del Rey interviewed by Just Jared   
    The 26-year-old chanteuse sat down with JustJared.com for an exclusive interview before performing an acoustic session of her new song “Ride.”
    Here’s what Lana shared with JJ:
    JJ: How auto-biographical are your songs?

    LDR: They are, I’d say 90%. Usually what happens is all of the verses are always autobiographical up until the chorus. I usually leave some room for my imagination to step in. If I’m singing about the way that things used to be, by the time I get to the chorus I might start singing about the way I wished that they had been. JJ: Do you have favorite lyrics from any of the songs that you’ve ever put out?

    LDR: I like the juxtaposition of the verse and the chorus in Born to Die. I like the idea of the verse, ‘Feet don’t fail me now, take me to the finish line.’ That kind of feels like the struggle of every day life and how hard things can be, but by the time I get to the chorus I sing, ‘Come and take a walk on the wild side, let me kiss you hard in the pouring rain.’ I feel like it’s those two worlds of dark and light coming together. The struggle of every day, but also feeling fleeting moments of happiness and true love, and kissing in the rain. JJ: Does the album have a next single already?

    LDR: Cola. I have a couple of art projects going with people and I really hope that I can weave Bel Air and Gods and Monsters into a short film. JJ: What kind of art projects?

    LDR: Me and Anthony Mandler we’re still working together, still talking. We had one project in mind but I’m not sure if we’re actually going to do that. We might just go off on our own and mix his eye for film with my music, and kind of create a twenty minute short film. JJ: Based on the new songs off of Paradise?

    LDR: Actually based on more of an idea we came up with together, but hopefully just weaving the music into it and making it make sense. JJ: What are your Top 5 movies?

    LDR: Good question! I love Godfather I & II. I like American Beauty. I like Don’t Look Back, a documentary about Bob Dylan by D. A. Pennebaker. I like Sin City. JJ: What is your biggest inspiration whether it be a thing, person, or place?

    LDR: That’s a good one. My own imagination, and my own vision for the way my future could look is inspiring to me. The landscape of California, the energy of New York. The potential I see in possible new innovative technological advances we’re making day by day. JJ: What vision do you see for yourself?

    LDR: I’m close to the vision I always had, which is just being lucky enough to have time to turn my life into a work of art. To sculpt my life into the way I want it to look from the people I know to the music I make to the art I want to keep trying to do, and time with my family. I feel in line with the vision I have. JJ: Since you have accomplished so much in the music industry, is there another industry in entertainment you would like to dive into?

    LDR: The only thing I can really myself slipping into easily is… The guy who composed the Paradise edition doesn’t really work in pop music, he’s a composer for films in California and he’s one of my oldest friends. I could see us just naturally scoring music for films, and that would be a really comfortable transition. It’s nice to stay in Los Angeles, it’s nice to be at home, but go out late at night and work on pieces that move you for movies you love. That would be great. JJ: Would you ever do any holiday stuff?

    LDR: Would I ever do any holiday stuff? It would probably end up being really sad, so I don’t know. I might not be the best holiday candidate! JJ: What can we expect from Lana del Rey in 2013?

    LDR: Probably just more of the same. I really love the Paradise edition, to me it feels even more natural than the original Born to Die. I really want to just get into it. I’m going to tour with my boyfriend [barrie James O’Neill], he’s coming with me! We’re touring together for 70 days in Europe. I’m excited for that. JJ: Is he [barrie] working on it too, or is he just accompanying you?

    LDR: He’s singing. His band, Kassidy, is going to sing. So we’re going to Vienna, Italy, and hopefully all of our friends will come, too. We’re going to have a caravan. JJ: What’s the most favorite photograph that your sister [Chuck Grant] has taken?

    LDR: When we used to live together in New York I used to buy these electric fish tanks from the dollar store, and I used to make her take pictures of me in front of the fish tanks. My nails were really long at the time and I would press up against the fish tanks and it just looked crazy. Our style started to develop together creatively to kind of reflect our love for Americana kitsch. Whenever she’d leave for work she’d come back and there would be streamers in the house and banners from the party store that she hated, but it started this style that I started to set the short videos to. JJ: What’s the most romantic place for you in the world?

    LDR: I don’t know, I’m very romantic… so I can find it in so many places. I love taking long walks. I love California, I love New York, and I also like Paris. JJ: What’s the most romantic thing that you’ve done for someone?

    LDR: When I met my boyfriend… we always say that the entire time we were writing for each other, but we didn’t know it until we met each other. So, you feel like even though you didn’t know the person then all the songs are for them now. That’s romantic. JJ: What’s the most romantic song for you?

    LDR: I do love this one lullaby that Barrie wrote, I think it’s beautiful. I’ve been really blessed to have a lot of romance in my life. It’s like my last luxury.
     
    JJ: What’s the best fan gift you’ve received? LDR: When I used to stay at the Chateau Marmont, there was this younger kid that came and made me this big book of his own version of my album covers, and he mixed it with tabloids from the 50’s and 60’s. So I’ll have like these potential album covers he thought I should make were mixed with film noir, pop-art newspaper clippings that I thought were so good.
    JJ: Where do you store all of your fan gifts?

    LDR: I have a box under my bed! JJ: Do you have a most embarrassing moment from tour?

    LDR: From tour? There’s so many embarrassing moments! It’s like, all embarrassing because it’s live. We share lots of personal moments together. All of my dresses are really short, and I stand really close to the audience… I don’t know. JJ: What has been the most surreal experience for you since breaking?

    LDR: I think feeling so comfortable in places like China, it feeling so natural to be in Shanghai or be in Singapore and feel like I have friends there. I’d say feeling like you have friends wherever you go is surreal when you come from a more isolated town. It really opens up the world for you. JJ: Do you have a most memorable performance?

    LDR: Believe it or not it was recently. I started working with Jaguar, and I went to Paris where they were unveiling their new F-Type. I had to walk down this 200 ft carpet just as this thunderstorm stopped in this long white dress, and my friend had to escort me down with an umbrella all the way down to the microphone. I got down there and I sang the song that I had written for their new car, and I said I was proud of Ian who was the designer who had submitted a sketch of the car when he was seven and finally brought it to life all these years later. So I got finished singing and these two sports cars started weaving around the stage and vrooming and it was really electric. The audience was just dazzled by the cars and the lights and the sound, it was very surreal. JJ: Can you comment on the rumors that you’re going to be the new face of Versace?

    LDR: I have to be honest, I don’t know where that came from! Versace is a brand that we love, but… we’re not working together though. JJ: Living or dead, is there someone that you haven’t met yet that you would love to?

    LDR: There’s so many people I’d like to talk to. There’s so many people I’d like to just sit with. I’d like to sit with Elvis and that crew back in Graceland. JJ: How are you spending Thanksgiving?

    LDR: Charlie, my brother, and I, we’re going to be somewhere in London. We’ll just be finished talking about the record, so we’ll be in London. Then for Christmas hopefully we’ll be back here and have everyone. Source: JustJared
