I'm unsure if this has anything to do with this, but I find it curious that she uses a (bad) Southern accent on AKA. It's most prominent in Mermaid Motel (because ah am) and, infamously, OSCYS (and ah weeyill). Listen to any of her interviews and you'll be able to tell that this is not her native accent (neither is the exaggerated New York accent she uses on UV, but that's a different topic). If her time in Alabama coincided with her recording AKA, it could explain why she puts on this fake accent - she's feeling inspired by the people around her, who possibly had Southern accents (the Iggy Azalea defense? ) It also explains why it hasn't shown up since then - nothing from Born To Die on has had that fake Southern accent.
 
The odd thing is not all of AKA has this accent. Yayo doesn't really have it. Smarty doesn't. Brite Lites does (ah'm goin' back to Arbor Dean, where when I was a beauty queen). Kill Kill does in the 2nd verse (do ah know rye is going to meet you). Inexplicably, Raise me Up (Mississippi South) does not have this accent. Why? And why did she feel she had to put use an accent other than her native one for her debut album? I do think it's got to have something to do with her time in the South.
 
She also talks about Florida a lot - Aviation (Pensacola), Florida Kilos (title and "we could get high in Miami"), Florida Dark (Kill Kill), Axl Rose Husband (you look like a Florida native), Delicious (South Beach). That makes 3 Southern states she's mentioned: Florida, Alabama, Mississippi. And she says she got the name "Lana Del Rey" when hanging out with Cuban friends in Miami. Do I believe her? Who knows.
 
She also experiments with non-standard English in Sirens, with My Momma: my momma, she would say you was a hoodlum but I done known a hoodlum, you don't pass the test. She's still singing with her native accent, but she's clearly trying something out since she does not speak like this in her interviews or at concerts. "You was" is pretty run-of-the-mill in non-standard English varieties, but "done known" narrows it down to Southern American English.

Don't Let Me Be Misunderstood is one of my faves from Honeymoon 

I dislike acronyms for song titles about 60% of the time

I made another one w the same shot, hope you guys like it!!!!
 
 
 

Here is Disco, not my best, but I (also) like making simple, yet dirty designs.
 

 
 
 

 
 
I think second one is better, because I am exaggerating with the use of red color which reminds of blood (but I like it so much).
I also think people will hate the first But I am only playing

Blue shopping bag, cold cuts divine, off-brand cologne, waiting in line. Cheap candy bars, self-checkout lines. The aisle were cramped and dirty. 
Where have you been? Where did you go? You left for Target long ago. So did the girl you used to call the queen of Walmart Supercenter. 

an anthology of lana reciting pretentious poetry over industrial future-retro soundscapes

Lanas next album will be called Carnage and will be produced solely by John Cale. The albums will include 9 tracks, all recorded at the La Noria Cemetery in Chile. The title track is 11 minutes long and features Lana begging her lover to first torture her and then kill her. Lana sings on top of heavily distorted guitar sounds with no rythm, melody or fixed tempo. Another track on the album is called 'Arthur Loves You' and is written about the tragic death of Nick Cave's son Arthur Cave. The last track on the album is a cover of the Nico Song 'It Was A Pleasure Then'. There will be no drums on the album at all and the only instruments included on the album will be electric guitar, viola, harmonium, and glockenspiel.

I wanted to find this thread just so I could mention how much I love Smarty-- all of it-- but especially when Lana says, "Baby, if you loved me you would call me your bunny/tell me that I'm just a baby, honey"-- SO CUTE, I CAN'T

I just found this thread and I feel this one on a spiritual level 

coz she's always thinking about the next one. duh! 
so the old ones aren't supposed to be the old ones.
 
coz what she has filmed in time past and time present
are both perhaps present in time future

Space: the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Honeymoon. Its 19th-month: to explore muddy trap beats, to seek out new outfits at Walmart and new civilizations that remind her of LA, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

I love the VHS look to it! 

I decided to try my hand at some digital fan art and I made an album cover!! Here's Lana Del Rey - Vice City
 

Absolutely stunning! 

I just saw these, and I'm floored! The only covers I've ever seen this impressive are Trash Magic's!
 
I'm DEFINITELY using the Honeymoon one that's in the reddish tones, and will very likely use the Paradise and Ultraviolence ones, too
