Sometimes, yeah. But here at least he was giving a mixed response. :/ #SorryMadrigalAndMonicker

That's what I was thinking. It's like he's under strict instructions from her bodyguards to get her from one end to the other, dammit!

So what is the deal with the vocal? Not autotune?

He made it, it's fabulous, and he knows it

This?

I discovered Lana through an article posted on MissRepresentation's Facebook page in Jan. 2012. (Basically it was asking indie fans to show some respect when discussing this new indie singer.) I found Video Games on YouTube and thought the song was kinda boring, but the video was interesting. I found her SNL performance and thought yeah, a little awkward, but endearing if anything. Then I found the first Blue Jeans video, and the chorus blew me away! I bought BTD in February and loved it. I kept finding more and more of her songs on YouTube... and the rest is history

I don't want to overstate the reason for doubt. I just seem to remember CalendarGirl not being willing to confirm it was definitely real.

Maybe she was conflating ARH with White Pontiac Heaven, and it was WPH that she recorded c. 2001? (When I'm not being figurative) I'm really anal about things like accuracy, but I misspeak sometimes. And I quote... What a thing to get wrong!!! It's glaringly obvious, because usually the youngest law students start at 22. But it's not something that affects me much in my present life, so I don't think about the specifics very often anymore. Money Hunny is the only one I have dated as 2005. Though this is third- and fourth-hand info... I tend to agree. But I'm not a musician. I will defer to your expertise. But I would expect more takes in a studio project, more input from producers, more polishing. (This goes for the vocals as well.) And do we know for a fact that she played the guitar on every song? I think this had something to do with that young songwriters contest she almost won? Bottom line, I agree with Monicker that we shouldn't assume year written = year recorded = year released/posted. And I agree with EE that we need more receipts

Am getting Show Your Bones for Christmas

I think it's so wild that they can even do this.

I thought this was possibly fan-made? (I have the file named as LDR AKA LG_back cover_maybe)

PMIAM. (Little Girls is a title given by fans.)

I love the font, but the color seems a bit on the yellowish-green side. Could you please redo the colors, with softer pinks?

I agree. She's Not Me? Moi Je Joue?

Delicious, Jealous Girl, Playing Dangerous... I don't know if Butterflies fits in with the rest, but she sort of raps

Love that live one of Lana

Do you do album covers? Or, if you're bored, would you like to try one? I've tried and tried to come up with one for "Put the Radio On," but I haven't been happy with anything I've come up with so far. I would love one with this photo: http://lanaboards.com/index.php?app=core&module=attach&section=attach&attach_rel_module=post&attach_id=357 ...in 500x500, preferably retaining the reds and pinks. If you're up for it. If not, no worries

WHAT! :imbeingsarcasticbitch2: S'not fair. I HATE this place.

Seriously, don't make a special trip -- our local H&M in VA didn't even have any LDR photos up!

Too. Much. Beauty. The Bestest 1. Intro: Lana Del Reydio theme, excerpt ("I'm Lana Del Rey, and I'm a singer.") 2. Radio 3. Serial Killer 4. Dum Dum (v.1) 5. Gramma 6. Every Man Gets His Wish 7.

Sometimes a record store will have used/new CDs in front, and vinyls in the back. Try calling around to music stores in the phone book that aren't part of a big chain. (Or someone who works at a big chain might be able to recommend a good local shop.)

Set to "private" nm, found it

Wow, the difference that translators' choices can make!!! "maybe an icon" ...I was all ready to go "Yeah, you know it!" (But "i'll take the icon" is so much more Lana.)

IKR!?! IMO we need to learn from everything. But maybe she's exaggerating to make a point. A lot of people react to other people's hardships by emphasizing it's good for them/character-building/God's will. This can be so hurtful, to people who are looking for support, especially when the speaker stubbornly sticks to this narrative. (I mean, just because God can make something good come out of something bad, that doesn't mean He wanted it to happen!) Yes, we can welcome learning opportunities, but that doesn't mean we have to welcome bad stuff! I would much rather learn from happiness and constructive things, too. (Though it doesn't always work out that way.) It sounds simple, but I know a lot of people (who consider themselves role models to others) who lose sight of the fact that we should be working to make the world a better place, rather than folding our hands and watching it all burn. So maybe she's reacting to something like that?

It will happen. Stay strong!
