This is low key my most wanted Lana thing of all time and it might be lost

California and Crazy for You are from the very first sessions for HM in 2014, IIDY is however from 2015 already I believe

Well yes, Y&B, Dark Paradise, even SYTH among some that got beyond 100. But as you noted, some of those are nearly identical, Rick and his engineers are just very strict and every single slightest change gets noted as new mix. Not all of them even have to be exported.

Yes, you are right, sorry!

This is exactly how it reached those 300+ numbers But yeah that song went through a LOT and we have like.. close to none of it

He is a bit confused yeah dd, 129 tracks refers to amount of audio tracks in the song's session as someone explained. But while we are on the topic - LFL, the song, has 323 mixes which i think is the most for any Lana song ever..

Ugh well yes there are a few, but some would literally collapse on the thought that she reworked that so I'd rather you just be surprised if something leaks one day

Honeymouns remains the reason you got all the Dan UV demos so let's not do too much on him

Yeah this surely must be wrong, never heard about it

I don't know Also any claims that Lana made 100+ songs for any album are just wrong

Someone asked about The xx and I forgot to reply, that was a very good question! Jamie xx did a demo of Old Money as well as Black Beauty in 2013. Sadly it doesn't seem like they worked on original material together

BZ AMA is a bit of a stretch as there are some questions that I just don't want to answer and I hope you will respect that

Now this doesn't sound like Lana He's crazy y Cubano como yo my love is correct

Whatever that means What I'll say tho... if you are to manifest some amazing outtakes. Manifest LFL outtakes.

Nope, pretty much everything that goes pre-major label debut is unknown to me beyond what is known. Maybe I will encourage someone who does know a thing or two to come here one day and talk hmm Axl Rose Husband! And as you know Methamphetamines turned into Old Money

I know nothing about this, same with that St. Petersburg soundcheck song. I tried to find out what this was all about, but never reached anything. What I did learn however is that Lana happens to improvise random things during soundchecks as a form of warm up and I think these might be those cases. But I really don't know

Yes, basically

It was properly reworked yes

Yes and it's not only that, it's kinda a pattern throughout her career! Each time Lana wrote a song with Rick, but it was released with/alongside someone else's production, but she still liked the demo, she would finish it with Rick and release as radio mix. Radio mixes of Dark Paradise and Summertime Sadness are both finished Rick demos

Pretty sure that what she said was "I have an idea for this record called Music to Watch Boys to", but I don't know in what context she meant that, I would say it was about the song, but please note that first actual recording sessions for HM with Rick started in September 2014, so everything prior was just ideas

I don't recall Get High, but yes the other 2 are definitely real OG titles of the songs so Get High might as well be

Yeah I Don't Wanna Go / Tonight / Black Leather Moonlight (as annoying as it sounds, all 3 titles are equally correct, you can use whichever one you want) that leaked is from mid 2012, then it was rewritten and re-produced as Lake Placid for Tropico/UV ITTJ is another essay-type post I don't have energy for right now. Not gonna lie I hate that song, never put full effort to piece its timeline together The simple answer to this is that Rob Orton, UV's mixing engineer, was still mixing the tracks at the time of WC release and they just attached earlier mix to it. Pretty sure it was even released on streaming later as Rob Orton mix or something

I'm not sure about YTH, but Fine China went as far as being mixed by Rob Orton and it's a Rick Nowels version. Same with Your Girl But as soon as she came back to work on Honeymoon the first person to touch SYTH again was Rick so you could say the last version of YTH for UV was Rick's (per leaked files though - James Ford version is the latest, from April 2014 I think) What you are missing is the fact that Dan did demos of Pretty When You Cry and Guns & Roses as well, they just never leaked

Wow there is so much disappointed coming for some of you it seems, Dan Auerbach never produced SYTH or Fine China

I'm gonna do a whole post on Yes To Heaven, Fine China and Your Girl, but it's gonna be an essay, cause there is a lot to say, especially in relation to the Eclipse leaked files... I need some time to put it together It was the pre-chorus
