Vertimus

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 
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

I don't think a 'Best Of' or 'Greatest Hits' album will show the world (or reflect) the real Lana by any means. I'd prefer a 'Best of' between the two because then at least someone--preferably Lana herself--who knows the scope and depth of her music can make educated choices.
 
I wouldn't think much of a Greatest Hits album that contains Video Games, Off To the Races, the Cedric Gervais Summertime Sadness remix, Young & Beautiful, Ride, and then a smattering of tracks released as singles like Love, Lust For Life, Venice Bitch, A&W, the OB title track and one of her poems.  
 
I'd prefer Lana wait and release a career retrospective that is truly representative of her body of work, like Tori Amos did in 2006 with A Piano. 

Full agree, Dita. I'd like the world to have the chance to really hear Lana's very best, not just the ones the general public knows or sort of knows, which I don't think are reflective of her catalog for the most part.

As I said, I think Lana, in her disappointment, may just drop Lasso without fanfare, the way she dropped Blue Banisters. We all know how she often loses enthusiasm for a project--which is understandable once something is recorded and finished and won't see release for another eight months to a year-- or gets in a muddle and compromises or radically changes the initial conception. She's already onto to the next project.

There's this interesting connection with Henry, Come On song. I recently found out on Instagram that Evan Winiker's (Lana's friend or ex-boyfriend or idk she still follows him on Instagram) dog died, like few weeks ago, Chuck and Rob sent their condolences and the dog's name was Henry. Well I didn't really think that the song is about a dog but maybe it is because I also found a post from February 9 where he posted his two dogs with caption "Henry & Honey forever ❤️❤️❤️" and Rob commented "Sounds like a country song" and my first reaction was 

What’s lana’s DNC gotta do with this? 

The only good fan version of this song I’ve ever heard … TYSM!!!

Thank you!! It’s from the best day of my life aka back in May when I partied with Lana at V12 club in Atlanta  I was hesitant to change it because tbh I don’t like how I look in the picture considering I sloppily did my makeup in the car on the way there skfnsk but it’s such a beautiful reminder of my happiest moment (on what actually began as a terrible day) so I wanted to finally make the change ♥️
 
Skfndks sorry, I made the post on my laptop so it looked better there, but I wanted to have a larger font to really get the point across. I also keep LanaBoards at 75% on my mobile browser (I use Safari) which tbh I recommend you all do, the site as a whole looks so much better at a lesser zoom once you get used to it x
 
Love you too babe - and all of you, seriously. Even our troublemakers, I have so much love for you all. This community is so special to me and it’s all because you all make it what it is. Even though it can be really stressful at times to be the owner, I wouldn’t trade it for anything. It’s always my honour to continue hosting this place for everyone and I don’t take it for granted x
 
Unfortunately, I don’t see this as an option, but I’ll reach out to the forum software company we use to see if this can be implemented. I’ve actually been preparing for a pretty big site update that will introduce some new features. I was originally planning to do this back in May, but we kept running into issues with our hosting server provider, so I postponed it. I still haven’t been able to find another host that’s suitable for us but I still really want to do the update, so I may attempt next month. I’ll make a proper announcement when I get closer to doing this as I’ll have to take the site offline for some hours while I make the updates x
 
I want to reiterate this - this post was definitely influenced after cumulating events rather than one single isolated event. The mod team has been discussing this for awhile. Things weren’t dying down and drama was still sparking all across the boards, so this post was necessary. However, I am happy to see some members taking accountability for their actions. To members involved in recent drama, don’t be afraid to ~work it out on the remix~ and perhaps DM some apologies to members you feel you may have upset. I really do hope things will calm down from this point forward as I would love nothing more than to see LanaBoards go back to the safe, fun, and kind community that I know we are and have been over the years x

So basically we just need the Lasso lead single and pre order to save us
 
It has been so dry around here despite us getting a new song and video 16 days ago but that is what happens when Lana goes completely silent lmao…Lana Boards gets crazy and suddenly we are all political correspondents
