    Yes that's something that I personally do myself while sorting stuff in my library.
    For example, Lana and Greg would always call MPG just "Money Power Glory", however the Dan demo that leaked was strictly called Money & Power (same with Fuck My Way) so I do have it saved as Money & Power (Demo) to keep it accurate. Keep in my though that sometimes title changes of that sort may just be done to ease communication. I'm sure that every demo/file/mention of Tunnel wasn't called "Did you know that there is a tunnel under ocean blvd v2", they would just do "Tunnel" or "Tunnel Under Ocean Boulevard" etc. That doesn't have to mean the song was called that in its version, it was just faster to type it.
    Nope

    Never heard of this

    No, this thread is something to keep your mind occupied in the wait for the new album since Lana is pretty silent and I won't be revealing anything more for now

    The snippet that leaked is some 2018 rework of it that I have no idea about, probably produced by someone else? Apparently the file being sold on that source site was also mostly empty, but in reality its a full Rick produced song from LFL era

    Seems like that's a wrap for now! I think I said everything essential that I wanted to say. Hope this brought some closure to those who were seeking it or that at least you learnt something interesting. It was fun and maybe one day I will come back to talk more, maybe in upcoming years more interesting stuff to talk about will surface as well. Thanks for joining and being all nice and respectful. And remember, Lana's word is always above me or any of us, she is the artist and the visionary and none of us other than her will fully know the truth about all those mysterious things.
     
    Pre-order and stream the amazing Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, out March 10th!

    Some people use them interchangeably, but to put it simply - mixing happens when the song is being worked on, it's a part of the process when everything for the song is recorded, but you keep polishing it, levelling the sound and such. Mastering is putting very final adjustments to prepare the song for distribution on various media since they all have their own requirements. Mastering is more of a technical thing and only something required for stuff that is being released.
     
    That's why I said the UV Patrick demos are poorly mixed. The vocals are too drowned in the instrumental sometimes, some stems sound too out of place, there is lack of cohesion throughout.

    She worked quite a bit with Rick for NFR still

    Btw about that, this was rather a fact than a personal opinion. It was a scruffy demo made in a day whilst there are many songs that were being worked on for months in 2016 and ended up being unused

    Omg sorry again, I meant White Mustang. Piecing all that info is really tiring, my head is exploding today. I think I will stop at least for now

    Maybe she will, but maybe they just felt like they burnt out together. Rick seems to be heavily working on new Zara Larsson music so he clearly needed some vibe-switch.

    This is something I'd gladly discuss, but it would be mostly speculations mixed with facts.
     
    Rich Lee was commissioned to direct music videos for 2 first singles of LFL - Love and The Next Best American Record. Love was obviously done first and sometime in late 2016/early 2017, before BAR video was recorded, someone must have either hacked or scammed Rich obtaining Love music video as well as reference audio for the BAR music video. This led to both spreading and leaking causing massive drama behind the scenes and ultimately scrapping BAR as a whole. We are "lucky" they only leaked this late, cause who knows if that happened earlier Lana might have never recorded the MV at all.
     
    There is however the other side/reason to it that might be even stronger imo. The original TNBAR version is clearly shady and putting a lot of guilt on Barrie for the fall of their relationship. I feel like later at that time she came to realization that she might have been too hard on him - or even more, perhaps they happened to meet/talk and become friends on good terms again. The BAR video was built fully around the lyrics of the demo so when she realized she definitely wouldn't release that song without changing its narrative, the music video must be discarded. Since it was a really good visual that Lana loved and it would be a waste to just scrap it, they reused it for White Mustang. But yes, the full video was ready to be put out for The Next Best American Record.
     
    This also might be one of the reasons for other LFL tracklist changes, but I don't know that.

    Exactly, people stop plotting and harassing people who even Lana left in the past
  13. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    I don't think anything is ever truly deleted

    This, friendly reminder I dislike entirety of Chemtrails and its sound.
    Don't ask me about opinions/sounds/feelings on songs you haven't heard, it's just pointless.

    LFL is the era when Rick and Lana made, by far, the most songs together. But none of that is truly even known, let alone leaked, outside of LFL demo.
    If something notable leaks from that time one day, I will talk about it then. For now LFL questions are kinda off the table.
     
    Serene Queen or Sugary Sweet are just roughest of roughest concepts, bottom shelf of the massive material she made for that album.

    No idts
     
    The final I Can Fly was already produced by Rick though, he was the only one to ever work on it, it wasn't even 'reworked', they just kept working on it to make it better
  17. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    Literally, just few rough demos they made in a week or two. I don't even remember if there are any others left beyond what's released/leaked
  18. Dark City liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    All the UV tracks demos you have from Honeymoun are produced by Dan Auerbath from early 2014

    Everything done with LIB beyond its writing in 2012 was only in consideration for the movie/soundtrack release, not any of her albums

    The snippet of LA Who Am I to love is some odd 2018 remake of a LFL era track
  21. Dark City liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    “Cali is hot” snippet is from 2016

    No, all HM songs first begun as Rick x Lana sessions, everything that has any involvement from other people is them joining as the song progresses in production
     
    Also keep in mind that certain titles are not really attached to any particular versions. Throughout Lana's career most "demo" titles are used interchangeably till the very last minute when she decides on one.

    Yes I can agree with that, I'm just showing that he remains someone who isn't actively involved with these songs. Notice how I mentioned the Something Real fiasco happening later on, this very much means he was not even talking to Rick outside of his invoiced requests to even know what they were actually working on if he didn't realize the email was fake and they actually aren't working on YTH/YG/FC at all.
     
    They are still notable versions until real Rick demos leak at least
  24. poetic jess liked a post in a topic by BlackoutZone in LDR Album Process Discussion   
    Yes, I don't remember exact dates, but all the HM demos that leaked around the same time can be considered STINT demos

    Dark City is from HM times, unfinished song, never worked on more
