Well, most of the songs we have are "leaks" in the sense they were never previously online. There are exceptions, though, like 3-4 tracks off Sirens, "Money Hunny," at least one version of "C-Note," and...I think there were a few more.

No.

I think I agree with you here. "Diet Mountain Dew" was never meant to be forced into the box it was, and as most of the demos testify, this is true for most of the songs. Again, this rings true for me. The pictures of Dave and Lizzy sitting together, smiling together and at the same time going through ideas, is like nothing we have for BTD. I mean, maybe Lana and Chris Braide were close like that, and pergolas bonded over creating the four songs they did do, but I dot get that kid of vibe from BTD as a whole. I can't either! I think, like you mentioned, "Blue Jeans" is a great example. We can tell via the demo we have that Emile and Lana worked on it from the beginning, which is why his production fits so well on it.

Har har!

I'm gonna miss demos (or, if we're Monicker, 'different versions') for the album. Born to Die was such a great album not for the finished product, but for the incredible amount of time, money, production & songwriting effort, and care which was put into the creation of multiple versions of every track that would eventually make the final cut. Let's take a quick example look at 'National Anthem:' Written in 2010 with The Nexus and Justin Parker, with a demo produced by The Nexus Demo video is made, complete with assorted film clips and authentic dancing ( ) Somewhere along the way, Justin produces a completely different arrangement of the song, with choral effects, strings, and a new beat Song is considered and eventually chosen to be a part of the album Completely reworked by Emile Haynie (not sure if the vocals were redone--Monicker?) Released as a single in June of 2012, complete with remixes, a laborious video, and full plotline. Okay. Now that Lana is more the """"artist""""" and knows exactly what she wants, any early mixes are going to be very close to the final product. We will probably never again have a 'Diet Mountain Dew' or 'Lolita' situation ever again, no matter how hard we wish it would be.

Let's play the abridged version. 1. "Dragon Queen" by Yeah Yeah Yeahs 2. "Flyin'" by Regina Spektor Screw this. I refuse to limit myself! I'm bored. Let's do a few more songs. 3. "Teen Lovers (The Shoes Remix)" by The Virgins and Sky Ferreira 4. "Best Thing I Never Had" by Beyoncé 5. "California English" by Vampire Weekend 6. "GO! (Switch Remix)" by Santigold

Yep.

The Virgins feat. Sky Ferreira: "Teen Lovers (The Shoes Remix)."

Oh! I forgot to mention a big part of my theory. CG wrote of them as the same song when she did her discography, and also wrote they were produced by Blockhead....and this one isn't, so it stands to reason HT is a legitimate, yet unfinished, title.

It's 2009, and registered--I just forget the authors. Probably a "Lizzy" era song, even though the song obviously mentions LANA DEL REY.

Here's my theory: Okay. Back in 2009, at the same time they recorded "Heavy Hitter," Lana worked on a very rough demo of a song tentatively called "Hawaiian Tropic." However, they never finished it, and she took some ideas and lyrical themes from that unfinished track and instead used them in conjunction with her old demo "1949," and came out with THIS MASTERPIECE. It's like the happy sister song to the slow version of "Hundred Dollar Bill," and hey! Look at the RUBY TUESDAY reference. Hmmmmmm?

WHOA

Ha1 Lana dis Iz Int3r5c0p3, and w3 juzt wanted 2 t3ll y0u 2 PLZ n3v3r sm1l3 0n an album c0v3r. S0unds g00d? Kay, thanxxxx. -_-

My original source for "Sirens," whom I sadly cannot contact, called the first track "Sirens." Of course, since I don't know who he is, I'm sadly inable to verify if he is correct...but it seems reasonable.

It would be amazing! Seriously, her work with Jewish producers (e.g. Kahne) is gr8. No, I don't know yet, but I tweeted him...hopefully he'll respond.
