Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

Was 'Lana Del Ray' publicly available to purchase elsewhere, besides Amazon and iTunes?

According to this early blog post it was also available for purchase on Napster. Also, I think I remember people on LDR.FM discussing it having been available on some French site, or am I thinking of something else?

I was always under the impression that the shift from "Ray" to "Rey" was inspired by the Ford Del Rey and how it represented retro-Americana. "Rey" also has a Spanish root, which Lana found to be glamorous-sounding.

 

wtf I had no idea the Del Rey logo was from a car ?? am I the only one

also doesn't Lana Del Rey translate to Lana of the sun? or wool of the sun but I don't think that's what she was going for

[ilovetati 15,295]

I remember reading an article that "Lana" was derived from Lana Turner and "Del Rey" from the Ford Del Rey as well as the glamour of the name that reminded Lana of the Spanish coast. 

 

And it means "wool of the king" in Spanish.

An ugly box-shaped car from the east-block anno 1966. not American Classic at all, but nice logo at least. (Trabant,someone)

Lana used to drive an old Mercedes that had a similar box shape...it's very reminiscent of retro-America. And Ford is about American as you can get.

I can see you're missing Off to the Races and probably some alternate versions of videos.

Now Hill has designed the Del Rey bag, which she says is frankly an homage to the performer. The satchel, a classic Mulberry carryall that sports a tassel on its frequently amusing clasp (one model has a fastener in the shape of a turtle) is available in mock croc, lambskin, and other leathers. But there is one version you won’t find at your local Mulberry shop when the bags launch in May: It is white ostrich, and just a single example was custom-made for Del Rey—because, Hill says, white is the singer’s favorite color and she loves shiny gold.

Nah there's no TIWMUG video. Maybe they downloaded a really popular fan made assuming it was real?

[Kerrigan 612]

Wait. I legitimately didn't know there was an ottr video until now. Did she upload it or something? It just seems soo fanmade.

Yeah, it was uploaded for a lil while. I think all it was was a little promo or something

Oops, I got mixed up between Dt Mtn Dw and TIWMUG! I meant to say there was a demo video for DMD instead haha

She uploaded it on the day the song was released as a promo single, posted "haha just fucking around <3 and then deleted it after a day or two.

This is going to sound silly... but how does a presale for tickets work? Once you get the code, will something just pop up Thursday on livenation to enter it into? I've never bought concert tickets before.

[Jazzmin 297]

It was only a while ago that I've come across Song of Myself. Mon Dieu, how beautiful it is   .

Are there any other recordings of Lana reading poetry?

[HEARTCORE 18,840]

Do we know how long AKA was up for before Lana decided to take it down?

[Just Cherry 3,747]

Do we know how long AKA was up for before Lana decided to take it down?

Only a couple of weeks if I recall correctly.

[Rafael 3,512]

Do we know how long AKA was up for before Lana decided to take it down?
