    As much as I agree that Gram's 2 solo records, and two records with the Flying Burrito Brothers are essential, and will improve everybody's lives, this is really stretching a bit far. Drug Store Truck Driving Man is a great song, but couldn't be further from the concept of Ride. As for the 'birds at night' idea - Lana will always value the 'story' or the poetry way above scientific reality.

    There's nothing in the video that requires being synced up perfectly with the finished track, just like there are parts of the MTWBT video that was shot ages ago. The 'tired' photo could have been from a last minute remix (which could have been for any song) to some final overdubs. Calling her a liar because she worked on finishing other songs after she finished recording HBTB is not only holding her to a ridiculous (and tedious) standard of truth, it's also misunderstanding how records are created these days.

    We already have the perfect gapless album. It's called AKA.

    To avoid just naming every song, I was thinking yesterday (as I was driving the freeway blasting the song) that Off To The Races is a great song full of great musical moments. I can't break them all down here, but at pretty much any part of the song I can point out "that bit!". Such a great song.

  18. longtimeman liked a post in a topic by VelvetNight in VelvetNight's Replica MTWBT Headphones- Tutorial   
    Hi everyone, I'm going to try to replicate Lana's MTWBT headphones for my Lana Del Rebirthday (commemorating the first time I saw Lana in concert October 19, 2014, which was when I started becoming completely obsessed with Lana). I probably won't make them in time for my rebirthday but I will try for Halloween.

    I figured I'll post a tutorial for anyone that would also like to be Lana on Halloween. I'm still waiting for the headphones to arrive from Amazon, so I'm going to update this main post as I go.
     
    Materials
    Headphones
    Crayola Model Magic for making the frangipanis or you can order 4 foam frangipanis from ebay
    6-8 Pink fabric/paper roses
    Green ribbon or fake long grass/leaves
    Pearl stickers or pearl beads
    4 3D Star stickers or star beads
    1 Bee charm
    Glue
    Blue Paint
     
    Tools
    Scissors Knife Pencil Small cup (I'm using an empty mini candle jar from Bath and Body Works) Paint brush Directions
    Make the frangipanis (skip this if you have the foam ones). You can also watch Youtube tutorials by searching "make frangipani". You will need to make 4 flowers.
    Make a teardrop shape stencil for the petals. Mine is cut from a foil wrapper. If you make if from paper, it will stick to the model magic, so use a thick plastic bag/foil packaging. Roll out the Model Magic. Trace your teardrop stencil on the Model Magic with a knife. Remove the stencil and cut the petal out. It's best to cut the petal out because it makes a nice smooth edge. Repeat 4 times to make a total of 5 petals. Pinch along the left side of each petal to make a raised edge. Smooth the outer edge with the side of a knife. Place the 5 petals in a semi circle. Pull the right side of the last petal under the left side of the first petal. Shape the petals to curve outwards. Place in a small cup to dry overnight. When dry, paint the middle of the flower blue. Glue a star into the middle of the flower. Wrap the head band of the headphones
    Cut one piece of ribbon (we'll call this ribbon A) long enough to wrap around the headphone band from ear to ear. Cut another piece of ribbon (ribbon B) that is double the length of the headphone band plus an inch more. At the end of the left side of the headphone band glue ribbon B on the outside of the headphone band. Glue it more to the left so it's edge is along the edge of the headphone band. It should be in the direction parallel with the headphone band. At the left side of the headphone band, glue ribbon A on the inside of the headphone band so it's perpendicular to the headphone band. Wrap ribbon A around the headphone band until it reaches the right ear. Leave ribbon B outside of the wrapped headphone band. Glue the end of ribbon A onto the inside of the headphone band. On the loose end of ribbon B, wrap it with a bit of tape and cut the tape into an arrow. This will help you weave the ribbon. Weave ribbon B in and out of ribbon A. When you reach the right ear, start wrapping ribbon B back towards the left ear. Glue ribbon B down on the inside of the headphone band. Glue the flowers, pearls and bee onto the ears! (Almost done, yay!)

    Position the front facing frangipani to your liking and glue it down. I wanted the red part of the headphones to be mostly covered. Glue the another frangipani facing the back. I put mine lower than the front facing flower so the top doesn't stick out behind the front facing flower. Glue the pink fabric roses in between the two frangipanis and cover the rest of the visible headphones with pearls and the bee on the left ear. Yay, now you can put on music to watch boys to! I will update with final product pictures once I'm done.

    Yay. Another thread full of anger at the inevitable frustration of unrealistic expectations for metrics of overinflated importance.

    I think Lana is still finding herself in making music. Hence, you see her growth in every album. And she's maturing nicely. I mean I don't doubt that she knows what she wants though, but making music is a whole different thing, I think.

    Got my third replacement vinyl and it finally sounds good.   And I don't know why it's so damn expensive everywhere like sis $50.....

    It's not a tropico

    I'm becoming a broken record comparing Lana and Chan, but I'd argue that CP is one of the few acts that Lana cites as an influence that she actually sounds like. And 'Get Drunk' is the best Cat Power song that Chan never wrote.

    Which would be an issue if he had any credibility whatsoever
