No, I mean :dead: as in, there are other Lana albums out there so I'm falling down dead. Not like this thread is dead, or... :frantically consults Urban Dictionary: "Yep, this topic is dead, we can kick it" What I'm trying to say is... you mean there's this good an argument that there's MORE LANA ALBUMS? :heart attack: (Oy, I'm off to bed.)

:dead:

I NEED those leggings/pants! Whatever they are, they are beautiful.

LOL, I posted it before on LDR.FM! It was my aptly titled "LDRAKA:LG Part 2"! I've graduated to calling it by its subgenre But I have been tweaking it, so here it is: 1. Heavy Hitter 2. Dum Dum 3. Come When You Call Me A-M-E-R-I-C-A 4. You Can Be the Boss (+ She Walks Into Mine) 5. Jimmy Gnecco 6. Trash Magic (Miss America) 7. Kinda Outta Luck 8. Pin-Up Galore 9. Match Made in Heaven 10. Hundred Dollar Bill 11. Disco 12. The Man I Love 13. On Our Way (Heavier Than Heaven) "Bonus" tracks 14. You're Gonna Love Me 15. Elvis 16. Money Hunny 17. Axl Rose Husband 18. Get Drunk 19. 1949 (DICWB fell off the playlist. I added the demo to my Hollywood Sadcore mix ("BTD Part 2") and it just seems to fit better there now.)

I'd forgotten how hot he could be What year is this from?!?

Agreed -- I've yet to find a live version of "Blue Jeans" whose line "make my eyes burn" doesn't make me cringe. (The studio version is so perfect, though!)

Hasn't been added yet. (I've been copying and pasting from this thread, lol)

Yay! Congrats to all

Love it! :haha:

OHHH... :wanders off to change a song title in iTunes:

Excited for Ep 10, the season 1 finale

I love CWYCMA too! I prefer version 1, and have that on my Surf Noir mix (my picks for sort of a LDRAKA:LG part 2), and version 2 is on my dance mix. 2008 puts it in around the Kill Kill era, so you're probably right about that. The version numbers could have been assigned by CalendarGirl from LDR.FM, though. I don't think we know which one came first.

I think that'll happen when she can finally take a break!

Because I NEED "Hollywood's Dead" in my life! (And where better than on her Hollywood sadcore re-release?) HOPE. We HOPE it will be on it so we get a HQ copy.

I love it! (But I've reached my quota of "likes" for the day) You've really captured the song

Haha, YES :creepy:

1. Off To The Races 2. Radio 3. Blue Jeans 4. Diet Mountain Dew 5. National Anthem 6. Lolita 7. This Is What Makes Us Girls 8. Without You 9. Million Dollar Man 10. Dark Paradise 11. Video Games 12. Summertime Sadness 13. Carmen 14. Lucky Ones 15. Born To Die

Party! Do a Reydio show!!! :love:

Just because you're crazy, doesn't mean you're wrong

A lot of people do. For women, it often manifests as something called Intense World Syndrome. Usually IWS makes people want to avoid intense situations (because they are overwhelmed sooner/more easily), but sometimes it expresses itself in thrill-seeking behavior. Or so I've read. I don't think this discussion is mean at all; I think it's exciting that our society is becoming more open about these things, and learning more about what diverse issues different people cope with every day. Her "un-feminist" lyrics don't strike me as superficial, but rather complex. Sometimes our culture oversells Power Feminism (IMO, like women aren't allowed to have human needs/weaknesses/failings because at this point in history we have to "represent"), and I see Lana's strong perspective of apparent submissiveness as partly in reaction to that -- a stand for individuality. Yet, I also see her sometimes-submissive demeanor as apparent, an act. Not only because it's fun to role-play, but also to some degree because one effective way to subvert a patriarchal mindset is to infiltrate it and bring about change from within. (I may be projecting this, though, based on my own life story. It resonates so much with me.) For example, I see the video for PMIAM, more than the song, as participating in sexual "exploitation" to regain a sense of personal agency, while at the same time protesting it by interspersing clips of a man being taken away in handcuffs. And again, I may be projecting, but I imagine that she could be doing a similar thing in OTTR, to an extent, though perhaps with more participation and less apparent protest. So anyway, that's what I mean when I say I think Lana subverts both the patriarchy and Power Feminism Hard living (drugs, thrill-seeking, possible cosmetic surgery) can definitely take a toll. But things like heavy makeup and lack of sleep will temporarily age a person as well. Check out recent airport candids; I think she looks more fresh-faced in them. Also, look at these photos from the Tartan Clef Awards last year -- she's the same Lizzy she always was! http://lanadelreyonline.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=29&pid=103#top_display_media http://lanadelreyonline.com/gallery/displayimage.php?album=29&pid=106#top_display_media THIS. I am both an egalitarian and a feminist. (I even occasionally call myself a "masculinist," to what I hope is a healthy and beneficial extent, though I don't tend to focus on it as much.) My life has taken me from a casual feminism through patriarchalism into a fierce egalitarianism that seeks to promote and protect women and girls, men and boys, and those who don't quite feel they fit into those categories. But I am uncomfortable with both Power Feminism and Victim Feminism, and I'm seeking a happy medium, though I don't quite know what to call it yet. (I'm toying with "Shalom Feminism." Might be too obscure.) I believe it is the responsibility of each one of us to see, support, and promote the dignity in every human being, whether or not they make it easy for us. The GQ cover and the boob-groping pic are SO NOT egalitarian, it's ridiculous. Yet it is a human perspective. :shrug: I don't like it. THIS too. I love her so much. Love you guys too.

We also need the Lana Evil Laughter smiley. Someone's already made a gif (we had it at LDR.FM), but it's kinda like: between 0:30 and 0:35

I persist in calling it "Puppy Love (Marilyn Monroe)." Extra typing concerns be damned! Moy, you've inspired me to admit... http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/215-unpopular-lana-opinions/ (post #6) It's my understanding that "Lolyta" was never an official title, but a fan error introduced early on that stuck around. (Kind of like "I'm Indebited to You" instead of "Indebted") But I could be wrong.

I absolutely despise "The Body Electric." Just the whole sound of it, and I'm not referring to the quality of the live recordings. It's screechy and annoying. (Though if Lana releases a studio version, I will give it one more chance.)

Much worse -- the American South And I may be overestimating the importance of the lack of a "W." That is, while "BWAHAHA" connotes evil laughter, "BAHAHA" strikes me as more spontaneously pure-hearted somehow Based on local usage. (Oh crap.)

I think we were expressing our criticisms respectfully. And rather than checking my irrational fears at the door, I prefer to hold them up, look them over, and say "how the hell did I end up with THIS?" Kind of in the spirit of naked and vulnerable, you might say.
