    Just creepin' in to mention something totally innocent, that in context sounds very very naughty, of course: http://southernbite.com/2011/11/15/coca-cola-cake/
  3. Pretty please? I'd kinda like it to actually sound good

    Ever had coca-cola cake?
  5. Overall, I love the album production of Carmen, except that now I Can't. Stop. Hearing. Those. DAMN. CATS!!!!!! No offense to cats. It just sounds like there's one caught under a rocking chair or something. MOVE, KITTY! I think I'm going to try to make a fan "mix"/splice/Frankenstein thingie using the verses from the demo and everything else from the album version. Concept = Probable execution = Likelihood of procrastination = Anyone wanna help/do it instead? = (Well shit at least I tried. I need the practice anyway = :imbeingsarcasticbitch2: )
  6. Actually, "All my dreams and all the lights mean nothing without you" is pretty powerful, coming from the person/character of Lana Del Rey. Falling in love is to her, what immortality is to some. (See Last Girl on Earth.)
  7. I think this has merits as its own more-general thread, for those of us who want to discuss possible meanings that aren't so intertwined with Lana/Lizzy's real-life relationships. I think Raise Me Up is about the ghost of a woman who died at the hand of (a) either her lover or herself, (b) either deliberately or by accident. She was not fond of his mama. And now she's back to haunt him.
  8. A: I have been very fortunate to be surrounded by very talented people, very artistic. Four and a half. I think the effect is very beautiful. Q: Were someone to witness you drinking cherry cola, how would you describe their experience? a. It's a real killer b. Sweet, surreal, killer c. Sweet cereal kill ...er d. I think it's beautiful
  9. I finally got a chance to listen to Sparkle Jump Rope Queen and I absolutely love it! Daddy Issues makes me afraid that I never would have gotten into Lana if she'd had a pop debut first (though I like most of those songs now). White Pontiac Heaven is a tweaked version of one you posted on another site once, yes? I'm looking forward to digging into that one and Endless World Tour when I get a chance. That was amazing. I see it as being her "last stand" for the relationship, like, are we gonna make this work, boy? (Sort of like "Lift Your Eyes," but coming from a less healthy place, because she's still hanging onto the Bonnie and Clyde dream.) And then she has to answer her own question, in the next song. (Besides, the playlist was in desperate need of something somewhat upbeat at that point.)

  11. Isn't this just a rip-off of Krystal from Squidbillies, though?
  12. So many leaks lately, I've had to go from two to three main Unreleased playlists: Florida Dark, Hollywood's Dead, and now Motel Flower Nation. Motel Flower Nation Lucky Ones (demo) Driving in Cars Prom Song (Gone Wrong) 1949 Dangerous Girl Match Made in Heaven Queen of the Gas Station (acoustic demo) Moi Je Joue White Pontiac Heaven (acapella) Money Hunny Never Let Me Go Hundred Dollar Bill ("demo") Velvet Crowbar Motel 6 (acapella) Get Drunk Live or Die Methamphetamines (acapella) Elvis She's Not Me End of the World (live) I've tried to make it tell a story (though not a "real" Lizzy story per se). And now I am so ready to hear The Paradise Edition.
  13. It all started out so innocently, too
  14. Really, I don't think a woman in the media (or elsewhere) has to self-identify as a feminist to come under fire from all sides. All she has to do is be an individual. (And maybe that's true for men too, who dare to break with convention.) It's one thing to not be particularly interested in feminist issues. It's another to think painting yourself as a "moderate" is going to keep you in everyone's good graces. SMH (at my younger self, as much as at anyone else)
  15. The thing is, I'm not even sure that Lana is either presenting this as a genuine rule, or even just saying oh well, that's the way it is. I mean, she might be doing one of those. But she might be saying, this is the "rule" that is sold to girls and they buy it. (I had a so-called friend inform me of this "rule" once, in similar terms.) In the album version, the music and the effects are so brutal while she's singing, "Don't cry about it, don't cry about it," it's hard for me to come away thinking she's saying this is good or right or necessary. It IS brutal, but it IS out there already.
  16. "Put the Radio On" would go great with this playlist. I think you should put "Goodbye Kiss" on there too! Awesome concept and artwork!
  17. I haven't either. And I won't. My non-deluxe box set is all set to come on its merry way in a few weeks.
  18. I can see I'm going to use up my "like" quota early today. That's key. (Of course, it's important for it to be a real choice, as opposed to a choice-to-fall-in-line-with-what-we-say-God-says-or-be-regarded-as-a-horrible-person sort of choice. But I'm not getting that vibe from Lana at all.) Very true. But honestly my reaction is just, wow, that could have been worded better. I love you, Maru! And I wholeheartedly agree -- I think we can make a difference in society. It's gonna get better. I can't promise, but... well, yeah. :hug:
