It's what the title says: What you think and feel about leaks? I saw that our opinions are diverse towards the subject so I thought in opening this thread so everyone can give their 2 cents, or more,  about the subject.
 
My 6 cents
 
1. Album leaks creates a iincredible buzz on all social media, blogs, papers well media in general. Guess what? That media is free. The label didn't expend a dime and Lana's name was all over blogs, twitter, FB and music related site. All over the world. It's a win win game for her.
 
2. The songs she was not going to release had help keep her relevant while she is not releasing anything new. They are also good songs so they attract new fans and keep the fan base she already has happy. Plus who would've have access to so much material besides Lana herself or those very close to her?
 
3. Most material goes online anyway. Everything ends up, in a way or another, in youtube. You can download from it for free but artists still sell millions of albuns. Lana included. There for is fair to say that even if 1 or 2 songs leak the sales won't be affected. Quite the opposite the leaks increase the expectation towards the album which can end up making her sell even more
 
4. Many artists leak songs before the album gets out or even when is still in production. Albuns are expensive the leaks are a cheap, quick and effective way to test the reaction towards the music. Obviously the songs are diverse but the album has a tone so maybe thats what they are doing.
 
5. She was not going to release 99% of her leaks anyway. I mean almost 200 songs....wtf....and several are incredible so her leaks helped a lot her new album and also helped a lot BTD and Paradise sales.
 
6. IMO her leaks had increased her value not the other way around. Her leaks had increased her fanbase as well.

here is the finished version of OTTR! I hope you  guys like it since i worked really hard on it

Okay I've literally never made album covers before, so please don't bash me! When I heard AFFA, I was instantly mesmerized - so I had to make one. Feel free to use it! 
 
UPDATE: I made a cover for Black Beauty as well! Feel free to use both or request anything!
 

 
NEW: Black Beauty

I had an idea to make them for fun (after she announced the name/title) even before the leaks but I finished them after the songs leaked-- anyway, I put the songs into a little EP so I was thinking of a concept for the album art and I made a few options for myself. Feel free to use them if you like them! I'm using the first one, but I really like the second one as well.

Haven't found anything about that concert here - July, 15th, 2013, at least the search engine of that forum didn't have any results.
 
So:
 
I think she looked great!
 

 

 

 

 

 
 
Hope to find better pics than these and even vids, or maybe some of you have it.

I Have BTD standard, BTD Paradise edition, Paradise Vinyl, and Video Games/Blue jeans vinyl
-By the way, I just registered to LanaBoards, this is the first thing I write here

Okay but when the hell is she coming to Canada?

She should recycle Paradise into a Children's Album

Lana Del Rey films new music video at strip joint.
On June 28th, Lana Del Rey stopped by Chatsworth California’s “Candy Cat One". The Candy Cat offers "exciting exotic entertainment " courtesy of "beautiful topless dancers" … Who’s excited!

ya that's chuck. she's in chatsworth and she posted this photo yesterday:

YOU GUYS ITS BODY ELECTRIC 

"GoGo Dancer" music video plz 

fuck sake 

My tour programme came a few days ago, ahhh I might buy another one just to rip pages out of tbh.

I hope for a physical single released like in Europe. 

I think this is the perfect time for this. Lana already has gained a lot more attention from Y&B and her "cool" status to teens has become more widely noticed so this could smash. It's the most radio friendly of hers imo to begin with, and I wish they had simply used the radio mix from Germany, but either way this remix can really help it too. I'd say it'll chart pretty well.

i've never really thought that much of ss, i mean it's nice sure, but it's not groundbreaking. however, i wouldn't say no to off to the races as a single! 

Hey guys. A few of you are familiar with my Gaga stuff but I've a lot of Lana inspired artwork that I haven't really put out there yet. This thread is basically going to be a page to dump all my LDR-esque digital pieces so I can keep track and get more inspiration. CC would be great + any new ideas you've got, shoot 'em my way. (Let me know if there are too many pictures, I can /spoiler them or something!)

na-uh, it's perfectly natural i think you'll find. it's found in nearly every single species. 

but what the fuck, seriously? i'm so sick of all of this bullshit surrounding homosexuality, it sickens me and makes me so fucking angry. it's like, the world makes one step forward for homosexuality, then two steps back. religion shouldn't interfere with anything, let alone laws. so fucking annoyed tbh. 

 
are they any less of a human or a creature? no. don't be so ridiculous. 

whoa! now who's the one breaking out cuss words? calling something abnormal says to me that you actually are in fact against that. i mean, try saying that to anybody who's gay, you wouldn't get very far.
