Oh yeah. I had to add some silence to the beginning and end to make it flow, but DMD demo 1 (now 3:46) fits nicely into this playlist... as does Behind Closed Doors! World on a String You & Me Midnite Dancer Girlfriend Ridin' Come When You Call Me Motel 6 Heavy Hitter (version 2) Diet Mountain Dew (demo 1) Little Carmen Hit It & Run Big Bad Wolf (instrumental) Maha Maha (version 1) Behind Closed Doors Put Me In A Movie (Sugar demo) Dangerous Boarding School Push Me Down Scarface Catch and Release So Legit Song of Myself

Trying DMD demo 1 (3:45) before Little Carmen right now. I have a good feeling about this...!

Little Carmen = demo acapella version of Carmen; it's 3:06 Song of Myself = Lana reciting a Walt Whitman poem over the Cola instrumental; it's 0:58

I included a lot of alternate versions (that I don't usually listen to). It adds to the strangeness ***UPDATE: The original artwork is on deviantart and it's by tick-of-time: http://tick-of-time.deviantart.com/art/A-TRIP-TO-LANA-DEL-REY-S-MIND-336698706

I wish!

Well, a lot of what they say could pass for "humor," but saying this is from her latest album is simply a false statement. What "whole album is like this" pray tell?

"I to rock 'n' roll!" -- Goodbye Kiss

I love Possibility, Little Bit, I'm Good I'm Gone, and now Until We Bleed (thanks Maddy!)

Maybe she IS in touch with the disconnect between her feelings and the reality, and this is just her way of saying, well, it meant something to her? ISTM Lana often uses the idea of love as her muse, so I'm not as surprised that she'd be willing to put that sort of self-revelation out there. It seems consistent enough with "making her life a work of art." (Even if family relationships, beefs with friends, etc. wouldn't be as much a part of that vision.)

I'm so relieved I'm not the only one! This is my best attempt so far at recreating the 8-song playlist: 1. Edge of Reality - Elvis Presley 2. Hotel California - The Eagles 3. The Boys of Summer - Don Henley 4. I'm On Fire - Bruce Springsteen 5. Wicked Game - Chris Isaak 6. Teen Idle - Marina and the Diamonds 7. Yayo (2012) - Lana Del Rey Did she definitely mention "Hotel California"? Seems like she mentioned The Eagles and I was guessing which song. Or maybe that was "The Boys of Summer" for Don Henley. I also remember someone teasing her about having one of her own songs on that playlist and I was guessing Yayo.

Amazon finally made the single available without buying the whole Cedric Gervais album http://www.amazon.com/Summertime-Sadness-Cedric-Gervais-Remix/dp/B00DVAZGFK/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1374158154&s=dmusic&sr=1-2

I guess I'm waiting to see how she handles her symbols and themes. As a person who tries to be objective, I'm interested in hearing from different perspectives, because I believe people's stories matter. Regarding the portrayal of innocence regained, as a Christian I admit it makes a difference to me whether it's through ultimately rejecting God or making peace with God. But either way, it's going to be Lana's story to tell. Those with a culture-warrior mindset may feel obligated to take offense... but I'm hoping there will be others more interested in the peaceful approach of dialogue, willing to really listen, and try to hear what it is this artist wants to say.

It's about time National Anthem got some recognition!

Great cover by Beemo! Yayo started out as like my fifth favorite on AKA. And then it just kept growing on me, until now it's one of my favorite songs of all time. I also love For K Part 2 and Gramma and Pawn Shop Blues and... well, the whole album! Yeah, when I first heard OSCYS I was like, "Are they kidding?" But now I think it's beautiful. Timeless.

These are both beautiful! No NEED to change a thing I would just suggest a few things to make it flow even better: Instead of "TV in Black and White," which sounds like she still wants to be with him, I'd use "The Man I Love" which seems a more natural transition from KK to PSB. (If you're a purist and don't want to use a fan remix, then you could use the "Trash Magic demo" which TMIL is from, and it still flows between the songs really well.) Plus, that way you won't be reusing TVIBAW from Paradise: Oasis I love Take Me to Paris, but somehow it seems wrong for AKA. I think Queen of Disaster fits really well here, now that you've taken it off Paradise: Oasis. Personally I found Stoplight De-Lite slightly jarring after Yayo. I think if you switch SDL and EMGHW it flows better. So this is what I'm suggesting: Lizzy Grant: Back to Santa Monica Disc 2: From July to July 1. Never Let Me Go 2. Kill Kill 3. The Man I Love (or Trash Magic demo) 4. Pawn Shop Blues 5. Tired Of Singing The Blues (You know you love that flow) 6. Yayo 7. Every Man Has (Gets) His Wish 8. Little Girls 9. Stoplight De-Lite ([agree this is a great song!]) 10. Brite Lites 11. Queen of Disaster 12. Mermaid Motel 13. You Can Be The Boss I know I'll be listening to this playlist a lot! AKA is my favorite, but sometimes it helps to mix things up.

"You gotta quit playing God And get out of the way"

I hear "Who's living life like it's the Belvedere"

Oh, I guess I'm using Beautiful Player between Cola and G&M. And QOD instead of On Our Way (which would fit thematically, but again I think the sound is more Lizzy than Lana.) So here's what I'm suggesting right now: Paradise: Oasis Edition (my version 2) 1. Paradise 2. Burning Desire 3. Heavy Hitter 4. Body Electric 5. Mermaid Motel 6. Cola 7. Beautiful Player 8. Gods & Monsters 9. Ridin' 10. Ride 11. Queen of Disaster 12. American 13. (Take Me to) Paris 14. Goodbye Kiss 15. Yayo (2012) 16. Hollywood's Dead 17. Blue Velvet 18. TV in Black & White 19. Bel Air

Aw, no LGOE? I guess maybe it is too "down" for the Oasis Edition. Hmm... I do like Ridin' between G&M and Ride. (Actually you made me finally like this darn song Ridin' at long last! ) Definitely an added perspective. Though if you start to feel like it just doesn't fit, I think Beautiful Player would work here as well. And I also do like Mermaid Motel between Body Electric and Cola. A little crazy, in a good way I guess I feel like for all its dark overtones thematically, Hollywood's Dead's SOUND is just too chipper or something to flow easily with G&M. (Tho putting it before G&M does help). I like HD a lot near Yayo. Also, Queen of Disaster seems way too happy to go near the end. I think of Bel Air as being a relief from the tragedy of Yayo. So BA needs something to be a relief FROM, like TV in Black & White. Does that make sense? Meanwhile, QOD helps transisiton from the sort-of-heavy Ride to the happier-sounding American. Of course it's your playlist and these are only suggestions. (But I know what order I'm using on my iPod )

I see you've posted again before me... I'll go ahead and give my feedback so far before checking out your revisions... This is really good! For those of us who need Paradise to, ah, lighten up to get into it... Actually I think Ridin' fits in this playlist just fine. (If you're going to include a song called Ridin' and one called Ride, I say just put them one right after the other. Own it, lol! And also it's like the second one is making a commentary on the first; adding a new dimension or something.) The one song that does seem out of place, unfortunately, is Butterflies. I love the song, but it definitely sounds more Lizzy than Lana, just because of the quality of her voice. I think the playlist flows without it, but if you feel like you need it thematically, may I suggest replacing it with something like Goodbye Kiss? Paradise: Oasis Edition (my version) 1. Paradise 2. Burning Desire 3. Heavy Hitter 4. Body Electric 5. Last Girl on Earth 6. Cola 7. Beautiful Player 8. Gods & Monsters 9. Ridin' 10. Ride 11. Queen of Disaster 12. American 13. (Take Me to) Paris 14. Goodbye Kiss (replacing Butterflies Pt. 1) 15. Yayo (2012) 16. Hollywood's Dead 17. Blue Velvet 18. TV in Black & White 19. Bel Air Hope this helps with the flow

Moroccan oil?

I want to hear her do an acoustic version of Chicago's "25 or 6 to 4"

JG is still a great song, tho

I don't think any of them fit BTD, but if I had to pick one I'd say "Oh Say Can You See" ...slow works IMO.
