Mixing is the most difficult and time consuming part of making a record - it's easy to do badly, but if you want to do it well (and keeping in mind that once you've done it, it's virtually set in stone forever) it can be an extremely slow process if you have any more than two instruments. One of the reasons it takes so long is that you can get 'audio fatigue' if you spend too much time listening to the same thing, and you can lose the ability to judge what you're hearing if you don't space it out.

This record's really interesting! Well done It has a spooky early Suicide/mid era Whitehouse sound which I have a lot of time for. Is it available anywhere to download/buy?

That's not her photo. https://twitter.com/DavidNakamura/status/822226330213351425 David Nakamura ‏@DavidNakamura 9h9 hours agoMore Just saw Marine leave station outside West Wing meaning @potus has left too. Offices empty, Obama photos off walls.

The BTD version of Off To The Races is everything I love about Lana - dramatic, over the top, on the edge, and a wild vocal performance. The fact that we only have the one studio version (plus the recently surfaced remixes that are basically the same arrangement), makes it even more perfect.

One of my favourite bands ever. When I was growing up, my sister had the two records but wouldn't let me touch them, but I heard them often enough coming from her room. I ended up getting almost all of their music on vinyl and/or CD over the years. I even like their Warsaw era, even though it's far more basic and simplistic than their proper records.

Angels Forever, JFK, Hollywood, Starry Eyed, Black Beauty Demo.

Yes please.

On the plus side, he doesn't know what bagpipes are, so I'm sure she'll give his opinion as much respect as it deserves.

Worse than that, they were accusing him of being physically abusive, based on their misunderstanding of Ultraviolence.

She'd be far from the first.

I keep becoming more convinced that the story of Lana's ex's is both more interesting and less Hollywood-esque than we can tell from her songs, and treating the story that she tells through the songs as an actual diary is fun, but not getting us close to the truth. The fact that she's pretty well dropped the 'K' mythology since Born To Die is evidence, for me, that there were either one or two men in her life who were 'bad boys' around the pre-AKA era, and who then became merged into the guy we call 'K', but she's less interested in those times now. I have a theory that's not founded in anything we know, but makes sense from a literary criticism point of view, that the same person who the first part of Video Games is about is also the character in Blue Jeans, except all of the dramatic events of BJ took place in a game that he was playing while she was watching him, bored, fantasising about making art out his self absorption.

Aren't they China Palace? IOW everything is worthless.

Yes! Here's the instagram post: https://www.instagram.com/p/zJ58QtgRvr/?taken-by=satan "I see you Satan" has become a bit of a meme among Lana fans.

In the mid 90's, it seemed that every movie with a sex/seduction scene had to have Glory Box playing. Dummy was one of the rare records that was loved by music snobs as well as finding itself everywhere in popular media - Moby's Play is the only other one that I can think of at the moment.

I'm so happy that this is an actual song (albeit a short one)

This thread just took a sinister turn.

‏@@lanadelrey Thank you so much Mexico. Won't forget it anytime soon. Hasta luego x https://twitter.com/LanaDelRey/status/800594750097289216

That's more than enough

Are there any photos/screengrabs/anything out there?

ETA: why can I never get Instagram pics to embed? Anyway, this is from Byron's account.

I wonder if she'll play Chelsea Hotel No 2.
