I respectfully disagree - I love how it makes a connection forwards to the UV booklet and the whole aesthetic of the various eras being strongly connected to the place where Lizzy/Lana was/is living/hanging out.

Boston Globe #1

@ thanks for the cover! Will update the OP!
 
 
I kind of like this picture ilovetati posted earlier as it could be used for the center of the digi but its just me: http://i.huffpost.com/gen/1737243/thumbs/o-CONEY-ISLAND-facebook.jpg The best part too is that it's already a large enough image. 
 
If we had the cover, used the back cover with the palm tree that was posted a few pages earlier, and ^ for the middle, I think it would be a nice balance of the darker/lighter pictures. But its just a suggestion. 
 
I'm starting my own pages too as a backup. They are kind of just lame/cliche aka era pictures with the lyrics in the TypicalWriter font (same one as BTD/UV) but could be a safe backup if nothing else. 
 
 
Also, anyone making pages be warned, I'm simply not going to consider anything made with this image:

I'm trying to keep my own personal biases out of this as much as possible but I hate this picture.

This is cool. I met a guy randomly who said that he filmed this, and that apparently a lot more was filmed but not uploaded for some reason.

Okay, some options for the final Coney Island picture:

Updated Booklet Suggestion...I tried to maintain the cohesiveness and do justice to the album's continuous story line and mood/atmosphere. I like how the landscape pictures slowly evolve from day to night as the album's story progresses (maybe the Smarty and Jump pictures could be switched to reflect that better in the Lana pics). If another version of the Oh Say You Can't See pic sadly can't be found, then I would suggest one of the more somber pictures from the Kill Kill ocean set. I hope you guys like my ideas.  So excited to see what someone like @@Trash Magic does with this for booklet pages.

Kill Kill (one of these):



Queen of the Gas Station:



Oh Say Can You See (*NEED BIGGER VERSION*):



Gramma (Blue Ribbon Sparkler Trailer Heaven):
 


For K Part 2:



Jump:



Mermaid Motel:
*ONE OF ABOVE CONEY ISLAND OPTIONS*

Raise Me Up (Mississippi South):



Pawn Shop Blues:



Brite Lites:



Put Me in a Movie:



Smarty (one of these):



Yayo:




Back Cover:



The digipak inset picture would be one of the Coney Island/Nevada pictures like the shot of LA in the Ultraviolence digipak and booklet.

@@Anthem if you go to advanced editing in the OP there should be a sidebar that allows you to add a poll with multiple questions. Before you do that I think you should set a deadline for idea submissions so we don't have an influx of additional options, and then whoever still wants to buy one can just settle on the design we choose in these stages. Also the talented people of LanaBoards coughtrashmagiccough need to be doing this booklet before we end up with something less cute

It's a direct reference to one of the most famous quotes from 20th Century film, so I would say it's not a coincidence.

no, don't worry about it 

I apologise. That came across as much more arrogant than it should have been. 

well, there goes my knowledge of 20th century films

Why is that gif of Lana dancing in the off shoulder white shirt not a thing yet? I need that as a emoticon. It was from a festival this past summer or something and she did it while singing Cola. It was the best.
 
I was scared for like 10 minutes that   was gone but I finally found it.  
 
EDIT: Found it. 3:28-3:30
 

 
   

Thanks! I actually think I have a Cheryl CD somewhere here, but it wouldn't be this one.

Thank you
 
I'm really hoping it gets released in Australia as well - I've already heard it playing in a Cafe a few weeks ago on Saturday night, so that's a cool sign.

I read that she told Billboard that it's coming in January, and it'll have 3 or 4 more songs on it.
Meaning that there won't be a standard and deluxe physical release just a physical release with a few more songs.

I need hear both in HQ tbh

@@Trash Magic and me are working on a concept of this. Hope you may see it soon.

Yes, actually it does. 

None of these statements follow logically. It doesn't follow that because something is wrong it should not be depicted in art. That's absurd on its face. It also doesn't follow that someone's intention in doing something (or even their responsibility for doing something) can be ascertained by another's reaction to it. That's taking the whole "perception is reality" thing to absurd lengths. 
As others sarcastically suggested:

 
There's plenty of things in what little footage we've seen that suggest it might be problematic, but we just can't know for sure without more context. We don't have enough information yet.

If we're talking about Lana era only, I agree with a lot of yours. Here are some that were important for me.
 
1) The iTunes festival 
 

 
I'm sure everyone here has seen this, but this was the first proper live performance of hers that I ever saw. I had not seen the Ride film clip, so I didn't understand her clothes at all - it seemed to me that she'd grabbed some clothes from two decades ago on the way out of the house and put them on just before getting on stage. I also had in mind that comment a certain person made about her SNL appearance - that she looked like a teenage singer in her bedroom. I got that feeling from this performance as well, but not in a bad way - it looked as though she was out of place and unsure of herself, but that she had these amazing songs that she was singing completely un-selfconsciously, which is such a rare thing. It genuinely got me excited about following her.
 
2) Ride on Langs de Leeuw
 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xLttDsZjRvg
 
Not only is this one of her best vocal performances, and a beautiful song (of course), but the look on Sharon Den Adel's face is priceless, not to mention that the crowd seems stunned into silence. If someone asked me to show them a video of LDR that proved she could sing with the best of them, this is the one I'd bring up.
 
3) Ultraviolence at Vancouver
 

 
Not only was this the first time any of us had heard the song, it felt like a special moment from afar. We got some snippets, then a bad recording, then this quite good recording. Some of the lyrics are a little different, too, and I generally prefer them here to the album.
 
4) Off To The Races first performance
 

 
A strange one. She seems very excited here ... but it's a rarely performed song, and recorded before the madness truly began. 
 
5) National Anthem LA Night 3, 2012
 

 
The strangest of them all. Instead of going into the crowd and taking selfies (which blew my mind the first time I saw her doing it on the iTunes show), she leans forward and kisses a few fans in the front rows. Both disturbing and amazing, it's a side of Lana that we see again and again in her dealings with fans, but here it's taken to the next level. It feels transgressive to be observing it, and it's very hard to figure out what she's thinking. I find this video as compelling as the film clip, and, come to think of it, it's a nice companion to the monologue at the end of the clip.

Right.
