Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

[evilentity]

DOes someone still know in which Interview Lana said the songs on Born To Die were autobiographic?

Whoops! When I came back to this thread after researching I realized you'd only asked about BTD specifically. Anyway, the better question is when hasn't Lana talked about her music being autobiographical. Here is a non-exhaustive list of instances in interviews where Lana, or an interviewer paraphrasing her, has specifically used the word "autobiographical" to describe her music:

 

Her early songs

"autobiographical and very dark" source

 

AKA

"my first songs were pretty autobiographical... I talked about a lot of stuff in my first record" source

"my first LP with David Kahne... was unconventional, autobiographical and cinematic" source

"my first record, it was autobiographical and beautiful" source

 

BTD

"dark, autobiographical, glamorous and something like exuberant and cinematographic" source

"my new songs are still autobiographical and cinematic" source

"consistently autobiographical" source

"As for subject matter, she's sticking to the autobiographical: 'Love is the easiest thing to write about, because I know it well....And loss is just as easy, because I know it well too.'" source

 

"Ride"

"That's autobiographical! ...It's about my own life" source

"her “Ride” video, which she tells me is autobiographical" source

 

"Ultraviolence" (song)

"autobiographical elements" source

"She’s vague on whether this theme might be autobiographical. 'I guess I would say, like, I’m definitely drawn to people with a strong physicality,' she says with a shrug, 'with more of a dominant personality.'" source

 

UV

Interviewer calls it "a collection of autobiographical songs" in between direct quotes. source

 

All her albums

Pitchfork: "Which of your albums is the most autobiographical? LDR: "All of them." source

"I feel that the three records [bTD, Paradise, and UV] were so heavy and autobiographical. It's been so cathartic." source

 

Her music generally

"But I don't long for a mythic past. I have my own mythic past. I don't talk about it, no one would believe me anyway. But I can say: All of my songs are autobiographical, I don't have to dramatize anything." source

"No, it's completely autobiographical. Yeah, 100%." source

"when it comes to my own music it’s 100% autobiographical" source

Implied her music was autobiographical like Biggie Smalls source

"the lyrics are autobiographical, and it’s mostly about death and love" source

"I'd say 90% [autobiographical]. Usually what happens is all of the verses are always autobiographical up until the chorus...by the time I get to the chorus I might start singing about the way I wished that they had been." source

"Everything I was writing was so autobiographical" source

Interview with James Franco where she insists she is generally "writing about things autobiographically", but says of "Florida Kilos": "That song in particular is not autobiographical." Says she "didn't monitor [herself]" on UV and that is was "candid". Suggests "Honeymoon" might not be as autobiographical as other albums. Describes her songwriting as "you get to tell your story", "documenting your life", and states "you don't know any story better than your own". source

 

Do I contradict myself? Very well then, I contradict myself; I am large - I contain multitudes.

"I find myself sometimes going back and forth between writing autobiographically and living vicariously through my own lyrics. It’s a form of escapism for me in some ways, now that I don’t go out much. So, definitely, if you’re lucky enough to do what you love, it can be your whole life. I’m very lucky." source

Definitely fake

So the search function isn’t working for me and I’m sure it’s been discussed before, but what’s Lana’s relationship like with her mom? We see Rob often (hanging out with Lana/Chuck/Marina, he was at Jones Beach last night, he’s active on Twitter/IG, Lana shouting him out in “hope”), but we never see or hear much about Mama Del Rey.

I keep trying to listen to tracks from Lana's May Jailer phase but I can't because they keep being taken off YouTube.

 

So... who owns their copyright? And how can they be flagged if they weren't recorded for a commercial project?

Is there (or going to be) a physical release of the Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark soundtrack? If not, where is the best audio quality digital copy of "Season of the Witch" to purchase?

When’s the last time Lana wore a pair of cute high stilettos like these? I’ve noticed nowadays when she gives her Keds a rest, she goes for a boot type shoe with a low heel (granny style  )

Where did the AKA Instrumentals came from? Publishing sites? Or just leakers?

I don't know if I remember correctly, BUT I think honeymoons once said he had the original yayo instrumental, I'm not sure tho

So LDR revealed in a recent interview that she powerlifts. Does anyone have any clue what routine she does? Judging by the gorgeous size of her thighs lately I'm thinking she's doing Starting Strength but it may be Strong Lifts or some other routine.

I'm more worried about when she's gonna do her hair as classy again and wear a cute short dress that isn't white and lacy. 

Those heels are so fucking nice tho

I wish she went into it more. Shed be the only person that could get me interested in lifting. 

But the first thought that came to my head was the daily workout routine that Marilyn Monroe did, which I don't believe was powerlifting but I wouldn't be surprised if that gave her the inspiration

Born To Die had Prelude, Paradise had Tony’s Theme, Endless Summer had Sleep Walk, L.A had Experiment In Terror...

 

Does the NFR tour have an intro like the above?
