Megan & Menace in the Mornings. More discussion about those comments here.

Yeah, can someone send me Regina's version of "I Want to Sing" (or all of 11:11 for that matter) in the highest quality available?

My favorite parts from the interview: "The hip-hop beats of Born to Die, it's strings and legendary violins are gone... Guitars, rock n roll and soft jazzy vibes—Ultraviolence is here." Hallellujah! "I met [Dan Auerbach] at a strip club in Queens." "She.. adores Kubrick, Tarantino and Lynch." Maybe they'll be some Clockwork references after all. "She even avoids social networks." Keep dreaming about a follow you thirsty bitches. "I don't know any famous celebrity" The Jaime shade... "In my house, everything is always on— television, radio, lights. It helps me to sleep." Television heaven with you. "End of June" Soon.

God forbid there be diversity on an album...

@@SitarHero would've had to change his shirt to "EXPLAIN YOURSELVES" plural if Jimmy had opened the shows he went to. Somebody remove this tag, crop it, blow it up huge on the front of a t-shirt and wear it to the show: I'm also only half-joking when I say that I'm hoping for a surprise duet with Spiderman Reeve Carney. Since Lana concerts are just group karaoke sessions anyway, there need to be some impromptu "Jimmy Gnecco" singalongs at these shows between sets or right before Jimmy goes on. Get on it LanaBoarders!

Paradise tour opener: Kassidy Ultraviolence tour opener: Jimmy Gnecco She's just begging us to read something into that. Either Barrie's in trouble or she's trolling us so hard right now and Jimmy's an opportunist. In addition to the obvious "Jimmy Gnecco", they should do a "Saint"/"Put Me in a Movie" medley. And am I as delusional as @@Ultraviolence to hold out a sliver of hope she might do "Yayo" because of this? I'm waiting for Reeve Carney, Arthur Lynn, Steven Mertens, Axl Rose & Marilyn Manson to open her next tour with Mike Mizrahi managing the NY location and Mr. Campbell in attendance.

Frenchies? C'mon, we're not pulling our weight as an English language forum without using the ethnic slur par excellence for the French, the crème de la crème: frogs. Ribbbbbit!

Yes, that's where we originally got MH & ASFN in the form of low quality podcast rips, but later we got ASFN in 128kbps with the rest of Sirens and a 160kbps version of MH leaked that was probably originally on her MySpace page. Here's a rundown of the tracks played on Nefarious Bovine Radio: Episode 115 - Pawn Shop Blues (demo) Episode 130 - For K Part 2 (demo) [referred to as "Rehab"] Episode 141 - For K Part 2 (demo) [referred to as "Rehab"] Episode 154 - A Star for Nick Episode 170 - Kill Kill Episode 176 - Yayo Episode 188 - Kill Kill Episode 194 - Put Me in a Movie Episode 201 - Queen of the Gas Station Episode 216 - Raise Me Up Episode 227 - Mermaid Motel Episode 231 - Money Hunny Episode 236 - Raise Me Up Episode 238 - Born to Die Episode 252 - For K, For K Part 2 Episode 258 - Body Electric After that I stopped keeping track.

DMs to who? Are these DMs other people have posted screenshots of? (In which case why not repost/retweet them so we can judge their authenticity?) Or DMs to you/@@lanaboards? No offense, but everything's just a rumor until there's receipts.

I'm sure you'll be absolutely shocked to see which Doors song she put on this playlist of her favorite songs for BEAT magazine: Wait, before you roll your eyes, she played a different Doors song when she hosted Theft of the Dial on Minnesota Public Radio. I'm sure you'll be impressed with what an obscure, non-cliché track she selected, plucked from the depths of the Doors catalog:

There's an app a thread for that.

You're gonna have to add a bunch of songs to this list after I finish and air my next covers-themed podcast.

Looks great! Eventually, I'd suggest giving each table its own thread (each with its own subsection hopefully if @@iconicldr can be bothered to create them). I also don't really think the Lizzy Grant/Lana Del Rey distinction is that useful or meaningful in terms of her performance history. I do think making a distinction between her shows prior to becoming famous with "Video Games" and shows afterwards is an important distinction, though that's harder to describe succinctly. However, I'm not aware of her performing any shows in 2011 prior to the Grasslands show, so that may allow us a nice shorthand. Perhaps we could rename the Early Shows section "Early Shows: 2006-2010" and denote yours "2011-present". Then we could eliminate the redundancy of her last few early shows where she was already going by Lana Del Rey from your list.

NEW LANABOARDS BANNER PLEASE

Fade Into You 2.0

Do we all have to write out the entire lyrics when recommending changes? It clutters up the thread and no one's got time to read through all that to find what's different. Sorry, it's just a pet peeve of mine.

I'd actually recommend making a separate list for performances done just for television and another separate list for radio performances.

SOMEONE RECORD THIS WHILE SAYING "WE SHOULD HAVE WAITED!" OVER TOP OF IT

Shading the ex.

Um, yeah, this might be analogous if Lana was making statements in interviews suggesting she thought sexual relationships between tween girls and middle aged guys were great. I'm not objecting to the sordid or unsettling themes she sings about (and in some cases glamorizes) or anything else in her lyrics. In fact, that has always been part of her appeal to me since the beginning. But there's a difference between singing songs that fetishize abusive relationships and buying into that. I'm merely noting that I find statements of hers that suggest she may actually buy into some of that stuff disconcerting.

I don't know Swedish, but it's pretty similar to Danish and I know enough Danish to be able to say Google Translate has translated it back to English pretty accurately. Whether her words were accurately translated into Swedish in the first place is another question, but I'd be surprised if they weren't. Scandinavian languages have pretty similar grammar and sentence structure as English and Scandinavians learn English in school from an early age. (FWIW, if Lana and her management end up trying to claim she was misquoted or something was lost in translation, I'd be disinclined to give them the benefit of the doubt. They tried to pull that trick before with the quote about her name coming from "a series of managers and lawyers over the last 5 years who wanted a name that they thought better fit the sound of the music." That came from a pre-fame interview that had the fingerprints of Ben Mawson's heavy-handedness all over it: "A very special thanks to Lana and to Ben @ SSB, for all of their time and help." ) I have to say I'm perpetually amused by how many of you bend over backwards and contort yourselves in knots to rationalize comments of hers like these or the fetishization of domestic violence in her work ("oh, she's just into S&M"), or to defend her against charges of being antifeminist (or at least insufficiently feminist). My enjoyment of her work doesn't depend on this very much so I don't feel compelled to deny what is undeniably a current in her work or abstain from criticism of it.

Ha, sort of how he's "like an American"?

Ha, that would be a very Lana thing to do. Reuse lyrics that weren't even original in the first place: Lana, of course you're going to get shit for that in 2014. Radio stations stopped playing that song because people protested when it came out in 1962, an era when domestic violence was more acceptable.

@Are we unable to afford a reliable server? If that's the problem, why not ask people for donations again or encourage people to click ads so we can afford one. If we can't even handle the traffic from "West Coast", how the hell are we going to be able to handle the traffic when Ultraviolence comes out?
