Can you think of any songs by other artists that remind you of something Lana might sing?

This new one from Bat For Lashes really makes me think of her, not necessarily because of the sound but because it shares her Hollywood tragedy obsession:

And here's one with big cinematic "Born To Die" strings:

no me and deathray can't be the only cc fans here

You're not --- I love them too! "CC II" was one of my favorite albums of 2010, and I can't wait for the new one.

"Celestica" is so awesome, BTW. Have you heard the story behind it? It makes the track even more haunting.

Sounds promising! I think my favorites will be "Gods & Monsters," "Body Electric," "Bel Air," and "Ride."

Also, that face she makes when the chorus kicks in on BE is amazing. Captures the spirit of the song perfectly.

From the titles alone, "Gods & Monsters."

I'm really curious to see how "Yayo" gets reworked (or not), though.

The cover looks great, and there's a few more new songs than I expected there to be. Can't wait!

PS) Yayo?! Talk about unexpected!

I always heard "two-buck sweetheart," but I suppose "jukebox" makes more sense. Baby can't buy a new fur with $2 after all.

I named mine "Carbon."

Born To Die: Carmen

AKA: For K Part 2

Sirens: Pretty Baby

Unreleased: You Can Be the Boss

Demos: National Anthem (Demo 2)

Collabs: Dayglo Reflection

I kind of hope "Cake Like Lady Gaga" is a hidden track on ARTPOP.

I just have the "Born To Die" iTunes deluxe, "LDR aka Lizzy," and both iTunes remix EP's ("Video Games" and "Blue Jeans"). I feel like a flop fan because my entire collection is digital, when I'm usually such a sucker for physical copies.

I'm definitely making sure I get the Paradise Edition on CD, though.

"Million Dollar Man" has always been the weak point for me, which is a little sad because I love the lyrics. I wish the album mix was like the demo --- it sounds so much better with just piano, strings, and her voice.

I'm really drawn to "For K Part 2." That little clarinet(?) sample adds so much creepy atmosphere.

Thanks for sharing. I had no idea this contest existed, and now I have "Blue Velvet" for free!
