Her show at the Jalopy, she was credited as Lizzy Grant even though only four days later she'd perform at the Slipper Room as Lana Del Rey. http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/1246-20090604-jalopy/ I know why it's called Alcoholics Anonymous. I'll be careful digging into it. I actually have a question for you about this...

I WANT DICK IN MY PUSSY NOW

There is no connection. The album trailer, at this point, has no meaning for the album we'll be getting. And we know the planned initial configuration of the album isn't the same now as it was back then.

If it gets pushed back again, I can't imagine her fanbase taking it well. I can't imagine anyone even being excited for it at that point. I still think the album is coming out but I think that it'll probably be her worst commercially since even with all the time she's had, she's not promoted it at all (and I don't count those two performances as promotion because once they were done, she fell off the face of the fucking planet).

If she doesn't care, she's not going to put in effort. posting a tracklist and preorder takes effort, though only a bare minimum.

It's old, but I don't see it as a justification. It's an explanation. She doesn't care about her success, so she announces an album and fucks off for a few weeks, releases a song or two and fucks off for a few weeks, and so on.

Re: why Because they talk like robots. I'm not sure how familiar you are with them, but having been in meetings (for my own drug/alcohol problems)...they rattle off the same irritating cliches a lot, and it would pain me to see a creative,intelligent person like Lana doing that (and even if Lana weren't "Lana", just a random person, I'd feel the same way. ordinarily smart people become sheep in those meetings.)

Burning Desire is a great song. And tbh there are a bunch of Lana songs I loathe, like Delicious.

People heard 15 seconds of a song and shit themselves over how good they thought it was. What's the difference?

To find out what she was like back then. I'm not really interested in the specifics of her story.

It's possible that she was that person. I want to go digging, I feel like if I could get those screenshots, where she talks about specific meetings and events, we could find out more about her involvement and role with other addicts or alcoholics (besides what she's done as a famous person). There are a lot of possibilities here to learn more about Lana, though...the people who knew her in that way probably won't be forthcoming with any information, but I'm willing to try and find stuff out.

Lana talking like a 12 stepper repulses me in a way I've never been repulsed before.

Piggybacking off of this: There were screenshots from her personal Facebook talking about AA meetings and AA-related events. If someone could scrounge those screenshots up, because I know people have to have them, we could easily get definitive proof she was there using archived AA documents. Well, I could do it anyway. (While AA is Alcoholics Anonymous, drug addicts also frequent their meetings.) She also quoted, word for word, the Big Book of Alcoholics Anonymous on her old Twitter account.

I wish we'd have gone for independence. I also wish all Puerto Ricans would have been allowed to vote. But, that doesn't matter. This has happened before. A lot. And America just didn't even address it. So nothing is gonna happen this time around either.

Roses Bloom for You was definitely an outtake, she said so herself. I don't think it's reaching to assume that the others she deleted were also outtakes.

we also haven't gotten it yet.

I'm not fully convinced we'll ever get Cherry tbh.

I kind of feel like the Lust For Life we'll be getting won't have the songs she's mentioned in interviews on it. It's just a guess though, based off of the tone of the songs she's shared with us. (Going from overt political songs to Cherry to Daisy Chain to White Mustang and Change doesn't really make sense to me)

uhhhhh. i realize a self-proclaimed "right-wing extremist" might not get this but... because it's not genuinely celebrating their lives? it's selling a product, first and foremost. it was no longer profitable to call Michael Jackson a pedophile or make fun of him because there was money to be made and albums to sell after he died. he went from people not wanting to touch him with a 10 foot pole to being in Jeep commercials. do you really consider that a celebration of anything? doing a complete about-face, going from completely trashing someone to sanctifying them?

Ahh. Then those don't count. She performed as Lana Del Rey then, but those performances predate her Interscope deal.

Hundred Dollar Bill Boarding School Yayo (AKA version) Gramma That being said, how do you define "being Lana"? Because she performed these under the stage name Lana Del Rey, but she was also doing other performances as Lizzy Grant at the same time.

Title. I really wanna see what critics were saying about Lana before she became Lana. I know about the Index interview and the fancy iTunes review, but was there anything else?

The first unreleased I heard was "She's Not Me".

"So many songs left on the cutting room floor but this was a special one I wrote in March called ‘Roses bloom for you’. I don’t film all my live takes but I’m glad I got this one because I was very excited about the beautiful chords my producer Rick Nowels found for this gem." - Lana, on Instagram.

She teased Roses Bloom for You and she herself said it was an outtake. Also: Life is Beautiful.
