My guess is that Burning Desire will be bonus track for iTunes only. The picture is from Lana's page, so i guess it's accurate
 
But i do hope Burning Desire gets on the CD

Yes, it's a miracle that both "Body Electric" and "Yayo" may not suffer too much from the production. But the vocals, and whatever they've done to them, are terrible. HDB & Monicker, I couldn't disagree with you more on the BE vocals. Those growly, unhinged live vocals-- almost out of control, but not quite-- are what made BE so good. The studio BE vocal is the textbook example of one of those restrained vocals of hers that captures nothing of the magic of her live performances, and is only possibly eclipsed in that regard by the disparity between the studio and live versions of MDM. And you know how much I rave about that. Similarly, this "Yayo" vocal is inferior to any other version of "Yayo" we've heard. She's late on "ink blue" and whatever processing they've done to her voice is atrocious.
 
Now I think you're just fucking insane. My pussy tastes like Pepsi Cola? My eyes were wide like cherry pies? The ridiculous lyrics ruin everything. Auto-Tuned Loon could write better lyrics than this.
 
Yeah, which makes me surprised it's not better. Madrigal, do you know which tracks he was involved with? I wish she'd made an album with just Rick Rubin.

Putting aside the compressed-to-death terrible audio in these clips, here are some of my thoughts, both positive and negative:
 
OH MY FUCKING GOD, I THINK THEY GOT BODY ELECTRIC RIGHT. Seems like it’s going to be a tasteful arrangement and non-offensive production. PHEW. I really cannot wait to hear the string outro. I would’ve never called that the final vocal take though, not such a great vocal from the little we can hear here, though i am glad she doesn't sound as restrained as she usually does on record and that she is singing more how she does live. Please god though, fulfill my dream of a harpsichord coming in on the second verse when everything sounds like bones falling off a skeleton and crashing to the floor.
 
The piano is recorded INFINITELY better on these batch of songs than on BTD. That’s how it should’ve been recorded from the get-go.
 
I think her vocals on some of these are a little too over-emotive. They should have gotten more vocal takes out of her. I know i would have
 
The reverb on Yayo sucks my ass. That is like the worst of the worst, cheap digital reverb. Oy. However, that is how you record a piano, dude. Thank goodness. Shitty quality reverb aside, Yayo might not be a train wreck after all!
 
The first song has a Tom Waits ballad feel to it. This sounds really, really nice! The drums are understated and great.
 
American seems like it’s going to be a grower.
 
Gods & Monsters sounds really promising but dear god, the snare sound is hideous, oy. That kick drum-snare pattern sounds so stupid too. This shit should have timpani for sure. Where’s has your love for timpani gone, Lizzy?
 
Oh my god, COLA. I am floored. Everything about it, the sublime string quartet (thank fucking god for real strings, though too much fucking stereo separation, Emile, argh), the lovely tremolo guitar (though i wish this silly obsession with double tracking everything would subside), the insane, incongruous lyrics. This shit is going to be fucking amazing. I have just used the word fucking a lot.
 
Also, Rick Rubin?! Really? Interesting.
 
I am thoroughly enthused. Believe it or not.

Yayo~.. GO!
Yayu~.. SHAW!
 
Yayo~.. YEA YEAH!
How now~... HOW NOW!

'Dat photoshop tho

Love the album cover.

I voted for PrettyBaby

PrettyBaby definitely deserves this one.

reminded me of this

Delete PrettyBaby's profile and i will swiftly delete your food and water, your scratching post, ALL your toys, and i will completely remove that door frame that you insist on mashing your face into every hour. This pseudo authority has totally gone to your head.

Congrats to all three of you! But Sitar's IS the prettiest

Or go on a group vacationing

Are you joking, that white cat is the prettiest one even without me reading your description. He's the personality of the trio, CLEARLY.

This kind of situation is not favorable for either party. As fans, it makes us defensive: "So now I can't post ______? My liberty is at stake here!!!"
For the managers, it causes them to look bad: guys, we don't know the terms of their responsibilities! For all we know, Lana's contract is written so that management are responsible for monitoring us! It's not our place to change the deal. . I 100% agree with Aaron on wanting to leave; a few key people have totally screwed up a whole bunch of possibilities.
 
For now, I am going to comply with these rules, however much I disagree and think that it's NOT the place of management to interfere.
 
A note to you, managers:
I appreciate what you are doing and have done. You're taking care of Lana, and not only am I thankful you're doing such a good job, but I am impressed with how much you care about her. I mean, I know it's technically your job, but still--you're showing a lot of diligence to make sure her and her rights(?) are not misconstrued. However, as a fan I am entitled to my own freedom in some ways, and I wish you would not be so adamantly involved in every aspect of our fan base.

(Crying because apparently I have not listened to Lana, only pretended to experience her on my fucking iPod...)

Is that...bad?

I'm really drawn to "For K Part 2." That little clarinet(?) sample adds so much creepy atmosphere.

"When somebody loves you, the way they say your name is different. You can just tell it's safe in their mouth" It's not my favorite I think, but it's cute. And it's from her old twitter @MissDaytona.

AHHHHHH OMG.
 
My mum texted me saying 'Just saw a bus covered in Lana! xxx' and I was flapping my arms about weirdly and giggling.. after only like 1 week at my new school everyone knows when I get weirdly excited it's Lana related:')

This picture fits the song perfectly.

Huh. Just figured out how to do this. I want these, please
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

These too, please?
