LfL was badly-produced, tho; every track had the same glassy fake digital ProTools sound to it, except for the one produced by Sean Lennon

Did she release this entirely for Daniel Johnston

Turns out this was from a reliable insider source

Keep in mind "Yayo" dates back to 2007 at least

I literally work in audio transcription during the day, so I took the liberty of correcting some of these

I'm not a huge fan of comics, but this biography pretty much left me speechless. Honestly, it's so well-made!

Paradise and Ultraviolence for different reasons
 
Paradise for being the best expression of baroque pop with the lushest arrangements
 
Ultraviolence for being the rawest and most organic and authentically vintage sound (MELLOTRON!)
 
But ultimately UV probably wins out, although only before it got ruined in mastering

I hope it's something like Ancient Ritual Cult Practices in Modern Popular Music

She sort of explained that when she said her songs were "personal" and she didn't want anyone to hear them. And really, I almost feel like my posting about them is a violation of privacy … but it's more interesting than talking about which dresses she's wearing. There is an esotericism beyond orthodox Christianity. 
 
  In order to dismiss all of this, you would have to blatantly ignore what she says … http://www.thefader.com/2014/06/17/love-death-and-jazz-seven-outtakes-from-our-lana-del-rey-intervie/  
 
Sometimes, people confuse their own intellectual apathy with others' … 

A lot of this was "just for fun" I admit. But in Tropico she uses these themes in an overt way -- i.e. Adam and Eve as Subject and Object are lost in the land of Gods and Monsters after falling away from Paradise; Eve dons her red party bikini and goes Go-Go Dancer as Adam eats the apple of sensory oblivion, before ultimately passing into a state of regeneration. And what she said of "Video Games" was that the verses were about one relationship, while the chorus was about another relationship altogether. A progression from particular to general. But still wild speculation in the dark.

"Obviously the quest for peace, the quest for knowledge of something bigger is…that’s the end game. That’s what I’m really interested in."
 
The texts are guideposts to archetypal realities written by other Seers but are not necessarily indicative of what she has read. Jane Leade and Ibn Arabi may not have read each other, either.

"Ultraviolence" video = the Subject (holding the camera) and Object approaching a state of Blessed Union; the Bride of Christ waiting for an absent (dead?) husband

The "National Anthem" video = Isis (Jackie in alchemical gold) mourning Osiris (JFK) slain by Set (Oswald)--this song is immediately followed by "Dark Paradise" on BTD--"I wish I was dead, dead like you"

The Garden of Eden (Dark Paradise) of Tropico is the Egyptian First Time (Zep Tepi) where the eternal archetypes of the gods dwell (Elvis being the archetypal Sun King); it is here that Osiris-JFK is slain as part of the primordial creative act--please refer to Mircea Eliade's Cosmos and History where this is elucidated: https://archive.org/details/CosmosAndHistorytheMythOfEternalReturn
 
This is layered in macrocosmic and microcosmic dimensions; i.e. the creation of the universe is re-enacted in the psyche of the individual. There is an apple and a strawberry. In wishing to be "like the gods," the Gnostic Eve as Sophia plucks the forbidden fruit down on the West Coast and shatters the illusory Garden ruled by the Demiurge. (This is difficult to explain ...)

Hey so I wanted to discuss graphic design with yall without it necessarily relating to Lana All members are welcome here!
 
In case you don't know I'm currently in my 2nd year on 4 of studying graphic design which is the only thing I love more than Lana and my ultimate dream is to be a graphic designer. My name is Anne-Dauphine but my graphic designer name is Daytona Mess, which you probably recognize the origin of.
 
In this thread we could discuss various typographers that we love, typography in general, help requests regarding fonts (I fucking love this shit never hesitate to ask me), share links, share our Behance and our projects, ask for critics (don't be shy), discuss UI/UX, talk about trends, tutorials, resources, tips, and more! It's basically a bigger Lana resources thread but not limited at all to Lana. If you need help regarding something graphic design related do ask the community!
 
Don't hesitate to promote your work but always be respectful of others 
 
I'll start by sharing a few things I've done recently, now that my style is changing And by recommending the work of a designer, of which I had the pleasure to discuss the work of with the great @Coyote: Fabian Fohrer, a cute typographer and graphic designer from Germany, who co-founded Tightype and who makes minimalist and incredible posters and fonts.
 
Here's one work I love amongst MANYFOLD:
 
 
 
And here's a few of my latest works! A few fictional magazines covers. You can find the whole project on my Behance. I'd be glad to have constructive criticism on it and I'd be delighted if you could check out the project  I also remade the AKA cover I did in 2015!
