Lana Rae Meisner, Wife of Eagles Founder Randy Meisner, Killed http://abcnews.go.com/Entertainment/lana-rae-meisner-wife-eagles-founder-randy-meisner/story?id=37463566 This is ominous

Reading http://www.amazon.com/Restoring-Paradise-Esotericism-Literature-Consciousness/dp/0791461394 When she wished to die, and spoke of Melancholia as Ultraviolent Initiation, I saw a kindred soul. When I see the pop starlet with immaculate hair on the red carpet, it does not speak of me. Yet even tracks like "Heavy Hitter," "TV in Black and White" and "She's Not Me" seem to reveal deep waters beneath their plastic forms. The cabin is the world of the mundane, where "It's all been done before," the ennui of modernity becomes curiosity as one reaches down into an unknown darkness. The wish to be something more than human (per David Bowie) becomes an imitation of Sophia's original creative act. "It's been an interesting journey. I feel like this year I'm only just starting to figure out the perspective I've written the last four records from" -- whose perspective? "Burned into my brain are these stolen images" Lizzy was a fresh-faced innocent opening strange doors that would never be closed again -- the blonde (Lizzy) meeting the brunette (Lana) in the waters and dying to that self. ("Deeper and deeper, looking for love in all the wrong places ...") The "Cult Leader" is man as priest and mediator of a feminine Shekinah presence, he who enters the Holy of Holies and communes directly with God -- but in our modern world, the Church no longer fulfills this function; it has become an empty and murderous Manson Family disconnected from the Source (Family). Isis in the Aquarian Age: "Something happened on the day he died Spirit rose a metre and stepped aside Somebody else took his place, and bravely cried: (I'm a blackstar, I'm a blackstar)" (Ground Control to Major Tom) "In the name of higher consciousness ... I'd rather know what God knows" "Palm trees in black and white Was the last thing I saw before I died Right line, right man Right mixture of cocaine and heroin Do you wanna jump, jump, jump?" To die before one dies, to jump into the Abyss and know what only God knows

The Manson Family and the Source Family as the two aspects of the Hierophant card of the Tarot Charles Manson -- a charismatic liar; representing the empty belief systems of the Outer Church Father Yod -- a genuine dabbler in esoteric mysteries; representing the initiations of the seeker; the Kabbalistic masculine Yod meets the feminine Heh

Note this line from the recent NME interview: "I am surprisingly similar to the person in those songs" Lizzy says she is wholly this "Lana" archetype already illustrated in her imaginal crystallizations (not a 'persona' because 'Ms. Grant' was the name written on her wallet ID that was ceremonially sacrificed) -- "i am my only god" "Dive in, dive deep and dive blue, my sweet Rushing up from the water where the ice meets" Your Cult Leader meets your Jazz Singer as Hierophant and High Priestess down through history in an Initiation into higher consciousness, ending the division of the two churches The LSD tab becomes the PEYOTE shirt from Ultraviolence as noetic Pepsi-Cola Sophia (the dove) seeing her reflection in the waters of Chaos (the Dead Pool) and running to meet it, becoming a "Freak" exiled from the mundane, drinking the cup of poison that Christ begged to be taken from him "California" as the Western lands of Underworld as Paradise (Lost)

omnipotent shapeshifting goddess confirmed

The floating girls are the "sirens" from Ultraviolence

I liked it when it was the Ultraviolence video

Manchildren on the Internet call this "The Wall" and have spilled much ink on its intricacies Get married or get right

Maybe her changing appearances, like the shifting veils of Eternal Nature personified in the play of Shakti, are meant to underscore for us the very impermanence of youth and beauty in this world, and insists that we instead fix our gaze on that which is truly Immortal and Imperishable as the archetypal realities beyond Time Present and Time Past You live in England so that's understandable

I will be the only person in the world to say "Finally, another Tropico" and mean it unironically

Loving you is hard, being here is harder You take the wheel I don't wanna do this anymore It's so surreal, I can't survive If this is all that's real Lights, camera, acción I'll do it on my own Jesus take the wheel Take it from my hands Cause I can't do this on my own

idgi she just sounds like European pop music

Ultraviolence track 7

No Jefferson Airplane references were there

The Glastonbury show basically serves this function if you watch it on mute

I use ffmpeg and/or Fission to directly extract the m4a audio without quality loss: http://askubuntu.com/questions/437798/how-to-extract-aac-audio-from-an-mp4-file-to-m4a Then you can use aacgain to make the tracks as loud as you want

It already sounds bright, but it needs more reverb to make it sound "live" ... There are also the two songs (BTD and Ride) from the O2 Arena that I extracted from YouTube; these already sound perfect and exactly how she should sound, I think: https://www.dropbox.com/s/id2ehpfkcz4xikg/O2%20Apollo%20Manchester.zip?dl=0 (What are the other soundboard tracks on YouTube? I should really rip them before they disappear ...)

I don't know what you could do to make the Brazil show better, with the way it's mixed (too much mic bleed) ... Maybe you could try 'remastering' the Argentina show instead? It needs maybe some room reverb; the mix is a bit too dry, but the vocals and instruments are very clear: https://www.dropbox.com/s/awpp0homl52xy0p/Lana%20Del%20Rey%20-%202013-11-14%20-%20Planeta%20Terra%20Argentina.zip?dl=0 I'd be interested in what you could do with it, at least ...

I distinctly remember evilentity saying that the Death Curse would be proven if Don Henley one of the Eagles died Apparently the Villa of Ormen is where he'd Rather Be High by the Beach Good thing everyone else mentioned on Honeymoon is dead already ("all my friends are dead")

Put on that Hotel California http://m.nydailynews.com/entertainment/music/eagles-legend-glenn-frey-dead-67-article-1.2500965 The Lana Death Curse is real

"On the day of execution, only women kneel and smile"

"'Tis a Pity She Was a Whore" has the line "Man, she punched me like a dude" "Girl Loves Me" is an extended reference to A Clockwork Orange's Nadsat language http://www.sparknotes.com/lit/clockworkorange/terms.html Another Nadsat word? "Ultra-violence" ...

Orphic exploration "about a girl" in the psychological sense "The Seer" and "The Liar" are his two new personae (Not Seen and Seen) Stylistically, the album seems to strangely slot itself somewhere between Buddha of Suburbia and Outside

Honeymoon has the sound of analog tape, which gives it that distinctively fuzzy sound, but recorded on Solid State which gives it that antiseptic Rick Nowels studio soud To really get that vintage aesthetic, the missing component is that she needs to use tube amplification (fortunately, that FLAC vinyl corrects this oversight)
