Yes, "Hello heaven, you are a tunnel lined with yellow nights on a dark night" is one of the best moments for me, but even more so the dark, eerie, and obsessive bordering on creepy turn "Yayo" takes after that.
 
That is a great emotional performance of MDM, and I know I'm beginning to sound like a broken record on this, but I believe her performance at Òran Mór in Glasgow remains her best (although I do love the way she wails "I'm fine" on some other live performances, like Hackney I think). She nails all the tricks, does some great scatting, and way she screams "I don't know" at 3:03 gives me chills. If she hadn't forgotten to sing into her microphone at one point, it would be perfect. Perhaps she sang it so well here because Barrie was probably there.
 
 
 
Some other great moments:
- The high vocal harmonies in "Serial Killer"
- The intros to "Kinda Outta Luck" & "She's Not Me"
- Some of the breathier vocals on AKA, especially "Kill Kill", "Jump" and "Mermaid Motel"
- "Goddamn, goddamn" in live version of "Pawn Shop Blues"
- "Mmmmmmm" at the end of the chorus in "Video Games" and at the end of some lines in the chorus of "Kill Kill"
- "Pushing up my (moans) in your face, in your face" in "Go Go Dancer"
- "Not even they" and "their heavy words" in "Radio"
- Alterna-rock live version of "Brite Lights", the whole thing
- "Come on, come on" in "For K Part 2 (Demo)"
- "savior" in Kinda Outta Luck

But you wanna get the flu?

Yeah, I think being a repository of accurate information and a place for intelligent discussion is most important.
 
I think we as a fanbase are oversaturated, but I don't think the public at large has seen enough of what Ms. Grant is capable of.
 
Yes, forums naturally attract obsessive types who merely reinforce each other's obsessive behaviors.

Is he your English teacher?

The vocals on Trash Magic were for sure not recorded with her laptop's built-in mic the way songs like Little Carmen, White Pontiac Heaven, and Methamphetamines were. I peg the whole of the recording of Trash as probably being recorded in a decent, treated home studio--not a bedroom recording and not a proper studio recording. It's definitely recorded "better" than Jimmy Gnecco and Get Drunk from that period--big noticeable difference in engineering. Not sure what you're saying about the Trash demo being different and Ahmed saying something about something being fake (?) The Trash Magic portions of the Trash Magic demo are taken from Trash Magic. They B da sayme, dawg.

It's a good question and one that i've asked myself before, not in regards to myself, but how it applies to others in general.
 
"Droughts" are more than okay. In fact, i often crave them. Life and other stuff, ya know?
 
I've never understood why people think this or any forum needs to be constantly active.
 
There are a lot of things i don't understand.
 
I sometimes wonder if some people are into LDR--by nature of her being a mainstream pop singer--more so as a result of being a consumer of pop culture, and so when someone/something else inevitably comes along, some people will move on.
 
I'm taking up a new posting approach in which i will obnoxiously separate thoughts into their own line like so.
 
Do any of you ever feel that there's an oversaturation of Lana Del Rey? Or is that just an inevitable feeling to have when coming to a forum of any artist?
 
I was thinking today how a forum is probably one of the most troubling things for an obsessive person to have in their life. It just fosters obsessive and habitual behavior.
 
I was also thinking earlier about fanaticism.
 
I desperately wish i didn't have this completist mentality with artists that i'm into.
 
I want to appreciate what we already have and spend time with the stuff, rather than constantly desiring more just to fulfill a curiosity/obsession.
 
Whenever i see mention of the word "leaks" i think of the Diva Cup™.
 
Mentions of holocaust and sluts in this thread.
 
That is all for now. Merry Christmas.

Don't leave me out of this! I'll do anything!
 
I'll make you chilled avocado soup!

 
I'll buy you maple syrup lemonade!

 
I'll even refrain from calling SitarHero basic! okay i can't really promise you on that one
 
I'll actually do something as a moderator!

Y'all know that a song is about Barrie when Emile incorporate bagpipes tunes.
 

Will you still love me when I'm no longer leaking and resourceful~?
 
 

Ditto.
 
Yeah, I got a kick out of that too. Another commenter on that page posted this video of highlights from a 1994 documentary about Wildwood, NJ, which is very AKA-era Lana:

Here's something "juicy"...

Some time ago I was reading this interview and wondered if the teacher she mentions was a teacher at her boarding school.
 
If you do a little digging, using archive.org you can find that there was a Mr. Campbell that was an English teacher at her boarding school when she attended there, though he doesn't teach there now, and that they follow/friend each other on various social media platforms.

I subsequently discovered "Prom Song (Gone Wrong)" which is a love song in a high school setting, which notably has the following lyrics: "You played me Biggie Smalls and then my first Nirvana song."

More recently, in preparing for the covers-themed LanaDelReydio show I'm working on, I was looking up interviews where she mentions Nirvana, Kurt Cobain, or "Heart-shaped Box" and noticed this in one of the interviews I found:
 
I nearly did a spit take. But then I found something really weird. In another interview published just a couple days later, she changes the story:
 
Suddenly, Mr. Campbell turns into a she. WTF is that about? Is she trying to hide something?
 
Now I'm not necessarily saying I think she fucked her teacher. But I think she at least fantasized about it. (Perhaps the fact that it's her teacher is what "Gone Wrong" refers to.) And I think "Lolita" is about him too. Consider that in Nabokov's novel, Humbert Humbert is a middle-aged literature professor.

All of which just makes this serendipitous:

The still used for the stereo mix YouTube video makes me wonder what auto-tuned animal noises Emile Haynie would have put on an album entitled Pet Sounds. Or imagine "Good Vibrations" with auto-tuned loon instead of an Electro-Theremin.
 
The mono mix brings back memories of when I first fell in love with pop music during my oldies phase in grade school. After I'd go to bed, I'd turn on my crappy alarm clock radio just loud enough to hear it well and just quiet enough to avoid my parents' detection. I'd listen late into the night, marking off songs I'd heard on a Top 1000 Oldies list printed on an advert in the local paper for the oldies station, checking them off one by one by the light of a flashlight hidden under my pillow. Ah, memories...

A leak holocaust just wouldn't be complete without Heavy Hitler:

Pfeiffer. As in Michelle Pfeiffer, who played Tony Montana's love interest in Scarface.
 
Love and desire.
 
Not since
 
Yay, another Lana song about serial killings.

So I was perched in the tinyleak chat. I had a lot of fun!
 
gah! the traders were discussing what songs to leak like:
Roses, Making Out, I'm Fucked, Midnight Dancer Girlfriend, and another song with a title like My Best Day (can't really remember for sure)
 
Another thing of interest was that Lana has another shelved album called Rock Me Stable and songs on the album are being traded around among the community.
 
One trader was really pissed because he had recently gotten a hold of unreleased songs but they were all leaked during the Holocaust. I told him that he had gotten everything only to lose everything. So now he knows what true freedom is.

"Extracurricular activity" perhaps?

Boy, it's late, walk me home, put your hand in mine
At the gates, stop and say, "Be my valentine."
You are by far the brightest star
I've ever seen and I never dreamed
I'd be so happy that I could die
 
You used to say that I was beautiful like Cleopatra
But you the king too, so I would say it back at ya
I'd flip my hair and make you stare and put my makeup on
And make up stories 'bout my life and put on very cherry balm
And even then I knew that we were something serious
That you would dominate my thoughts like radio to Sirius
 
It's you in the hall like hello, hello
Up against the wall like let's go, let's go
 
Let me take you out of this town
Let me do it right now, baby
Dancing 'til the dawn, staying forever young
Let's get out of this place
'Cause you're starting to waste within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face
If you don't get me out of this place now, baby, I'm not crazy
I'm leaving, are you coming with me?
 
If you're lonely, baby, hold me
You're my only one
Watching television, kiss until we see the sun
So far we are safe in the dark
And I never dreamed that I'd be the queen
And I'd be so happy that I could die
 
You used to call yourself the don and call me queen Diana
You always make me blush and say "Shut up boy, you're bananas"
You pull my hair and push me down and chase [me make me run?]
You played me Biggie Smalls and then my first Nirvana song
So even though when no one's friends we're really serious
I knew you loved me by the way you looked in second period
 
It's you in the hall like hello, hello
Up against the wall like let's go, let's go
 
Let me take you out of this town
Let me do it right now, baby
Dancing 'til the dawn, staying forever young
Let's get out of this place
'Cause you're starting to waste within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face
If you don't get me out of this place now, baby, I'm not crazy
I'm leaving, are you coming with me?
 
I know that they say that all I want is to have fun
And get away for rainy days
I know that they think I've come undone, but I'm in love
I wannna run, run, run away
I'm leaving, are you coming with me?
 
Let me take you out of this town
Let me do it right now, baby
Dancing 'til the dawn, staying forever young
Let's get out of this place
'Cause you're starting to waste within this teenage wasteland
You will never see my face
If you don't get me out of this place now, baby, I'm not crazy
I'm leaving, are you coming with me?
