Laundry room at chateu marmont or a laundrette in coney island
relating how her admirer walked in and made her eyes burn, while lana was washing her blue jeans

These last 6 hours, I'm like:
Feet Brain don't fail me now, take me to that finish 09:00 PM deadline.

This kind of situation is not favorable for either party. As fans, it makes us defensive: "So now I can't post ______? My liberty is at stake here!!!"
For the managers, it causes them to look bad: guys, we don't know the terms of their responsibilities! For all we know, Lana's contract is written so that management are responsible for monitoring us! It's not our place to change the deal. . I 100% agree with Aaron on wanting to leave; a few key people have totally screwed up a whole bunch of possibilities.
 
For now, I am going to comply with these rules, however much I disagree and think that it's NOT the place of management to interfere.
 
A note to you, managers:
I appreciate what you are doing and have done. You're taking care of Lana, and not only am I thankful you're doing such a good job, but I am impressed with how much you care about her. I mean, I know it's technically your job, but still--you're showing a lot of diligence to make sure her and her rights(?) are not misconstrued. However, as a fan I am entitled to my own freedom in some ways, and I wish you would not be so adamantly involved in every aspect of our fan base.

Imma kick back and watch this train run out of steam while people project their guilt onto others, assume Lana's motives and intentions, and pretend to know how the music industry works. All, of course, over a tall glass of maple syrup lemonade, a mountain of spaghetti, and a slice of lemon pie cake.
 
NO, but 4 seriously guyz, this is, uh, insane. Pooling money together so that one person can make a trip to DC to hear some old recordings and then report back with a verbal description of them? There's liking an artist's music and then there's being pathologically obsessive. That said, i'm not trying to stop anyone here. Be merry and carry on.
 
To those who moralistically recoil at the mere thought of tracking down these songs, and cite the "personal" nature of her unreleased music as evidence for leaving it be: these songs are registered at the LOC, not sitting on an old hard drive of hers in oblivion. Throughout the years leading up to getting signed to a major, she has distributed her music, whether at shows, giving physical copies to acquaintances and colleagues, or putting them up online. And now she's a major artist. You think a signed artist has the agency to just release whatever music whenever they desire? What do you think record labels, label executives, and distributors are for? She's under contract, of which we don't know the terms--she can't just "release" her music as she pleases, so the argument that because she hasn't done so yet she must not want to, is meaningless. That is flawed logic and a gross oversimplification.
 
Maybe she doesn't care for that old stuff. Maybe she doesn't even think about it anymore. Maybe she's embarrassed by it given the age at which it was recorded. But again, Sirens was given out to people, and these other unknown songs are registered with the LOC. The fact of the matter is that she is now a public recording artist with a back catalogue of registered music. This business about her old songs being "too personal" is hogwash. The idea being discussed in this thread wouldn't even cause material to leak. Now that is another topic altogether--the moral implications of pirating intellectual property. Why don't we discuss THAT rather than making shit up?

Pitchfork? Billboard? NME?
 
us: Hello, we have a plan...
them: ..okay we got it, we just gonna send our own writer there, kthx4thetipbai
 
Kickstarter sounds more attainable.
Times like these.. where's my rich daddy?

:judginu:

Kill Lana Del Rey; cos she was Born To Die.
Fuck Lizzy Grant; in motels, preferably near the gas station, with lights, camera and some accion, make lotsa Super-8 footage of it.
Marry May Jailer; sing along with a guitar and sad songs in a rehab heaven or CBGB's, and document her evolution into Lizzy Grant and Lana Del Rey eventually.
 
Britney, Azealia, Katy

Not applying per se, but since this is the only Reydio thread I can find..
would like to voice my vote of confidence and maybe pitching in some ideas/requests.
