You and Lana Del Rey are good friends. How did you become pals?
I’ve known her a couple of years. I don’t remember how I met her, but I made a remix and worked with her on some music. I’ve hung out with her a bunch and she’s an interesting character. I worked on a song with called “BBM Baby” about BlackBerry Messenger.
What’s the best story that you have about her?
She came to my house once to work on some things, there was a check cashing place near us and since there aren’t really any banks in my area (Washington Heights neighborhood of Manhattan), she wanted to cash this check from her grandpa and we had to call him and verify all the identities because of all the theft nowadays. It took a half an hour, but she got her money.
Today I found some good scans of the latest V magazine at JustJared.buzznet.com and I’m happy to share them with you. You can also find an article on the official website by clicking here. Here’s an excerpt of it:
[….] “Oh my God,” she said in Cologne, “so much has happened in that short time. I didn’t even have a record deal then.

It was a song she had crafted as the opening part of a breathy trilogy devoted to the broken heart, a subject she’d clearly learned much about in her twenty-five years of youth. [….]

1. Lana Del Rey, Born to Die
Internet phenom/object of scorn Lana Del Rey is about to release her debut album, which means that you’ll be seeing a lot of her over the next few months (there’s still a possibility that she’ll evaporate into obscurity, but based on her recently announced modeling contract and upcoming SNL gig, that seems increasingly unlikely). Given her blasé singles “Blue Jeans,” “Video Games” and the album’s title track, Born to Die looks to be replete with love ballads so low in energy that it’s a wonder Del Rey can get through them without nodding off.
