    I'm glad I'm reading these latest posts because so much of the OB producing and mixing sounds muddy and awful to my ears. To me, all of the new tracks on Blue Banisters sound 100% better. This is why I have 'problems' with Jack A., though I liked his production on Lorde's Solar Power.

    My taste is not typical of this fanbase, generally speaking. And I'm not a great fan of any of the OB album. 
     
    If limited to 22, I would choose: 
     
    Video Games
    Summertime Sadness (the album original) 
    Ride
    Yayo
    Bel Air 
    Gods & Monsters 
    Cola 
    Wait For Life 
    West Coast 
    Sad Girl 
    Old Money
    Terrence Loves You
    Swan Song 
    13 Beaches 
    Heroin 
    The Greatest
    Venice Bitch 
    Yosemite 
    If You Lie Down With Me  
    Arcadia 
    Wildflower Wildfire 
    Let the Light In 
     
    And if I could select some additional tracks, they would be: 
     
    National Anthem 
    Radio 
    American 
    Brooklyn Baby 
    Is This Happiness
    Music To Watch Boys To 
    Salvatore
    When the World Was At War 
    White Mustang 
    Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems 
    Mariners Apartment Complex 
    Hope 
    Chemtrails Over the Country Club 
    White Dress 
    Violets For Roses, and 
    Fishtail 
     
    AND if I could include unreleased songs, I'd add: 
     
    Live or Die (original)
    Last Girl on Earth
    Dragon Slayer
    Unidentified Flying Bill  
    Fine China
    I Talk to Jesus
    If I Die Young 
    Serene Queen

    Thanks, everyone. I must have been asleep. I missed so much. How beautiful Lana looks and how nice to see her dueting with Mason Ramsey and Stephen Sanchez. Her connection to artists around her continues.

    What do we know about Paradise 2015? 
     
    Does it have any relation at all to the earlier song Paradise, the one that goes "take you down to paradise..."? 
     
    Thanks.

    Thank you. I love American, so that's a plus for me. I hope we all hear it before too long.

    Thanks, Embach. I appreciate it. Maybe I can find a video on YouTube. It sounds like something I'd appreciate.

    What intro? Did I miss something? Was it played when she toured?

    Let's not forget the BB release and the lack of fanfare—though we did get the three singles first. But we also got several title and date changes.  
     
    Right now Lana appears to be strangely unenthused about Lasso and there has to be one or more [hopefully good] reasons for that, beyond the fact that other non-country artists are also releasing 'country' albums and it might have been finished a year ago or longer. Who knows?
     
    We do know she's quite mercurial and if we're honest, we know a lot less about her than we tend to assume we do. She's a real Cancer, hiding her real self under a rock—or "in the ballroom of her mind."  
     
    There's got to be so much going on in her life at all times—planning meetings with managers, lawyers, and labels (and sometimes detectives due to her stalkers and the theft of her hard drives), songwriting, recording, choosing musicians, live performances and appearances, performance wardrobes and fittings for special events like the Met Gala, upkeep of her several homes, travel arrangements, romance, regular contact with her family and other artists Holly Macve and Tough—being an introvert, all of that would drive me crazy and make me a hermit.
     
    If you look at it from that perspective, it's easier to see why we don't know nearly as much as we think we do—and even when she's made official announcements like release dates and projects like the Covers album, they often fall by the wayside for reasons unknown and go unexplained—forever! 
     
    As I said before, in the late 1980s and 1990s some universities started courses called 'Madonna Studies' due to her international success at the time—I'd like to see a course called 'Lana Studies' at a major university. Lana is a universe all on her own—a rabbit hole as well as a transversible worm hole!
