uhm im sorry what
 
having there be no boys on the album is def your opinion (even tho there several songs and themes..nvm) and ill roll with that
 
but what part of honeymoon is a rock and roll cult classic, and most underrated  of all time ? maybe out of lanas fans but i def dont think of all time, if u could explain or go further thatd help hella
 
also def don't sense any lizzy in HM but 
 
also ur banner is rly smthn... nvm   
oh my goooddd im deceased

what i don't understand.
 
lana knows she is not the greatest live performer of all time. and chuck can hold a camera, can't she?
 
since we have 18 tracks on the album and we have heard 3 or maybe 4, why doesn't she simply make a mini concert filmed by chuck in an intimate setting and uploads it on her vevo?
 
she could play, let's say 6 songs off the new album with her band and it would get her more attention than any live gigs for small radio statios or gigs in scandinavia or poland.
 
and this is something chuck can not screw up. 
 
minimal production, lots of views, great build up for an album that already feels dead on arrival!
 
make it happen, ben!

there's no more hype (unstan foreveeer)

psycho alert ahem 

literally what the fuck are you talking about ever

fixed it for you

I'm absolutely obsessed with cars, they're my passion. This thread is to catalogue the cars Lana mentions or uses in songs and videos.
 
Cars in songs: 
 
Shades Of Cool - "He Lives In California Too, He Drives A Chevy Malibu"
Lana's referring to the bread and butter midsize sedan, the backbone of the Chevy lineup

 
You Can Be The Boss - "He has a white corvette like I wanted"
My guess is that the car she is referring to is an Olympic White Corvette, probably a C1, C2 or C3

 
Hundred Dollar Bill - "Jimmy pulls up in his blue Chevy Nova"
The Blue she is referring to is most likely Danube Blue, or Mist Blue. Probably the 2nd Generation model as it's the most collectible.

 
National Anthem - "Take me to the Hamptons, Bugatti Veyron"
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to know she is definitely talking about the Bugatti Veyron EB 16.4. there have been quite a few different special editions made.

 
Back To The Basics - "Sit Back In My Pink Cadillac"
I'm assuming the Pink Cadillac would be a reference to Elvis's car which was a 1955 Fleetwood Series 60. 

 
This Is What Makes Us Girls - "Stealin' Police cars with the senior guys"
When Lana was 16 three police interceptors would have been common, the Dodge Intrepid, The Chevrolet Impala, and The Ford Crown Victoria



 
 
Golden Grille - "Drivin' in your Escalade"
We all probably know the behemoth Cadillac SUV piloted by rappers, drug dealers and soccer moms everywhere, It's been through 3 generations now. Golden Grille was from 2009 and by then it had entered it's 3rd iteration but as the song is obviously written about an earlier time, and the Escalade in production today was released in 2007, It's very likely a second gen model she's singing about. The first gen was largely playing catch up to the Lincoln Navigator and didn't get to enjoy the sales of it's successors as it was only built for 2 years.

 
Jump - "Cadillac convertible"
Eldorado? DeVille? Allante? XLR? Series 62? it's anyone's guess. It's very likely that it's a 1959 Series 62.
 
On Our Way - "Kiss me in your Chevrolet"
Another mystery car, It's clearly a convertible as well. Corvette? Nova? Corvair? Bel Air? Impala? Camaro? Blazer? Caprice? There are quite a few possibilities, I like to think it's a Corvair.
 
White Pontiac Heaven / Axel Rose Husband - Well, she says it in the title...
Again, this could be pretty much any white Pontiac. She does seem especially fond of the Fiero though.
 
1949 - "We in the Pontiac from July to July"
Same story as WPH and ARH it really could be any pontiac. 
 
 
Every Man Gets His Wish- "We in the Chevrolet from July to July"
Just like 1949, WPH, and ARH it really could be any Chevrolet.
 
Driving In Cars With Boys - "Momma's Mercedes or Billy's Pickup Truck"
Who knows what kind of truck she's referring to. Anyone know if her mother drove a Mercedes?
 
Heavy Hitter - "Open up that Lamborghini"
Once again, this could be any number of Lambos, the Miura, Gallardo, Espada, Countach, Murcielago etc.
 
Hit & Run - "Pick me up in your white Lamborghini"
Just like HH there are quite a few possibilities for this one
 
Playing Dangerous - "Let's get in the back of your cop car officer"
Well she doesn't even give us an era for this one, there's no way of knowing what kind of PPV she's talking about.
 
Come When You Call Me - "White Lincoln Continental"
The Continental nameplate has been used by Ford for their Lincoln brand for 9 generations before it was cancelled, it could be any of these, but I think it's worth noting that she used a white Mark V Continental in the new music video (see photos below)
 
Hawaiian Tropic - "A bottle of Jack in the Cadillac" "White Corvette under willow trees"
This is the only time she mentions the Cadillac in this song so we have nothing to go on as far as the exact model. It could really be any Cadillac prior to the 2009 Model Year.
The Corvette she mentions is most likely the same one she refers to in You Can Be The Boss
 
Heartshaped Chevrolet - "kiss me in your Chevrolet"
As the Chevrolet line is the same as in On Our Way it's pretty obvious that the chevrolet she's referring to is the same Chevy Convertible
 
Hot Hot Hot - "Black tint glass on your cherry red car"
Who knows? It could really be any red car...
 
Big Bad Wolf - "Escaping in your cherry red car"
Same as above.
 
*I have recieved a tip that one of the aforementioned Chevrolets is from the 1967 Model Year*
 
 
Cars In Music Videos:
 
Born To Die - It appears to be a 1969 Ford Mustang Mach 1 that the couple crashes.

 
Summertime Sadness - Lana's own 1981 Mercedes-Benz SL is used.

 
Ride - A 1975 Cadillac Coupe DeVille is driven by the guy who picks her up.
 

(The car in the Photo is a Sedan DeVille, Just Imagine it without the rear doors)
 
National Anthem - A 1956 Ford Thunderbird and a 1963 Lincoln Continental Convertible are used, similar to the ones owned by the Kennedy family, as well as a 1950-53 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible.
 



 
Blue Jeans (Original) - There is a clip of what appears to be the bonnet of a Jaguar XK 140

Lana Is also shown in a truck in this video. It's a 1955 Chevrolet Apache/Task Force. the grill, bumper and headlight bezels have been painted white. the same truck can be seen in at least one other photo shoot. This particular truck can also be seen on the cover of Born To Die

 
Burning Desire - Obviously a Jaguar F-Type

 
Several AKA Era Videos -  I have noticed more than one Pontiac Fiero in the original Lizzy Grant clips that have leaked. Clearly Lana has a thing for this car. 

 
Diet Mtn Dew 2 - The Ford Del Rey is used. This is where she got the Del Rey script with the three circles. Don't run to the dealer lots just yet, the Del Rey was only available in South America.

 
Tropico - Lana is seen in a Spring Green, fender-skirted 1952 Chevrolet Bel Air Rat Rod (Potential clue to the song?). In typical rat rod fashion, the car is missing most of its stainless and chrome trim as well as the actual convertible top and frame. the Chrome grill has been painted and the car features a continental kit. She is also seen with a white Lincoln Mark V. 




 
Shades Of Cool - You'd expect Lana to use a Chevy Malibu, since it's what she ints about in the song, but instead her tattoo artist friend pilots a 1967 Pontiac Firebird Convertible.

At one point a 2006 SAAB 9-5 SportCombi makes a came appearance over Lana's shoulder. It's given away by the SAAB signature hockey stick shaped C Pillar and the tiered tail lights 


 
Cars Lana Owns:
 
1981 Mercedes Benz 380SL
As seen in the Summertime Sadness video, Lana has a gold SL class 

 
Jaguar XK
Lana did the whole horse and pony show on the hood of Jaguar's new little roadster, the F-Type, but she actually owns it's big brother the XK. The XK is considerably larger and more powerful than the F-Type, they actually share the same platform though (The F-Type's was shortened). Lana's XK is in Ultimate Black Metallic.

 
Jaguar XJ
This one is important for those of us who don't like in California because the XJ is Lana's preferred mode of transportation. No doubt she owns her own and is seen driving it frequently (All I could find of her driving it were interior shots), but in other places she is almost always driven in one, so If you're at one of her shows and you see an XJ pull up, chances are it's her. Rob Grant also owns one as well. It's Jaguar's full size flagship. Lana appears to have the SWB model. Here's the best photo I was able to find on short notice of Lana with an XJ. You can identify it by its signature teardrop shaped DLO and the Alutian alloy wheels. 

I'm sure I missed some, let me know if you have any more information to add or if you know the ones I missed. 
We're still waiting to see what new leaks will bring to the table, I guess only time will tell.

"put his favorite perfume on," lana moans into the mic, before luxuriously spraying herself with Gucci fragrance

He used to call me DM.. that stood for Depeche Fu*#ing Mode..

how can you go on tirades about lana being commercial and having commercial success.......when her shoots with chuck have been some of the most kitschy, bland, basic shoots in existence ....dont get me wrong.. chuck has done some great work with lana.... i absolutely love the hbtb photoshoot especially... but god....so many iconic shoots that brought lana so much attention would cease to exist. the whole H&M campaign would've flopped  i know so many people who's first exposure to lana was actually through pictures.. think of all the exposure her fashion campaigns got her in 2012-13... i honestly think if chuck did all her photoshoots... she would've flopped long ago
 
also she needs to stop working with Neil Krug.. i love a lot of his stuff.. but recently his stuff with lana has been so..... and its probably her fault lmao

who asked?

OMG GAYS ! so i was doing a lil sleuthing.. this whole time I've been wondering what the moon icon in the "ingredients" could be from the teaser video.. so i looked into it.. mind you, i just finished astronomy class like last week! i realized.. that moon had a lot of craters for the moon... so i thought , hmm maybe its the back side of the moon.. aka "the dark side of the moon" .. but upon further inspection i realized , its not even the moon! its actually mercury! 
 
considering that XO, Chimera, (the other two collabs) are record labels, i thought.. maybe this is another label! well i googled mercury record label and found this! (don't mind me copying and pasting from wikipedia) 
 
"Mercury Records is an American-based record label owned by Universal Music Group. In the United States, it operates through Island Records; in the UK, it is distributed by Virgin EMI Records.
Since the separation of Island Records, Motown, Mercury Records, and Def Jam Recordings combining the Island Def Jam Music Group, Mercury Records has been placed under Island Records, although its back catalogue is still owned by The Island Def Jam Music Group." 
 
 
"Major Mercury Records labels and operations worldwide[edit] Current[edit]
Mercury Records was relaunched in 2007 as a label under The Island Def Jam Music Group, appointing record executive David Massey as the President and CEO of the new venture.
This division of Mercury handles US distribution of most pre-1998 Polydor Records pop/rock releases currently under UMG control. There are some exceptions, however. Some artists based outside the US did not have their releases on Polydor in North America, signing to various other labels instead. Some of these bands, such as The Who, did sign to a label that also is now part of the UMG family (or later absorbed by such a label), hence those labels control US rights to these works (in the case of the Who, they had been on US Decca Records and MCA Records in the past, their pre-breakup catalogue is now on Geffen Records in North America)." 
 
ALSO here is a list of artists were/are signed to mercury! including paul mcartney, ringo star, the who, hole(courtney loves old band), Van Morrison, Lionel Richie, and many more notable artist!! here is a link to a full list https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Mercury_Records_artists

Lana getting that French science fiction cover promo!!!!
 
 

Lol shut up. you weren't even born back then.

Since Y'ALL are missing my fan art thread here's my promo 
 
DON'T FORGET TO CHECK IT OUT BECAUSE THERE'S MORE
.
.
.
.
 
Here's a concept for the record perhaps the single or the monologue (YOU CHOOSE)
 

Firstly, how on earth do you bring every single Lana album into a discussion about Love vs. BAR... lol
 
And omg I love Lana's debut Born to RUN, it is her best album omg !!1!!1!11 
 
   

Off topic, but am I the only one that reads everything, but is too shy to engage in the conversation?

her driving shoes 
those oranges
 
they look like straight from the UV single cover and the MV 
ahhh our UV memories 
 
and the way she's packing things on the beach with that hat reminds me of the honeymoon single cover as well 
 
 
 
+
queen of chilling at the beach  having no security guard besides her even there are crazy fans out there hunting her down 

Now she just has to eat these oranges lasciviously on camera and Ultraviolence era will truly be back amen praise the lord 

And I don't mind living on coffee and oranges

Imagine being a celebrity and going sunbathing alone when you have crazy fans... I love risk takers

Let's imagine she would actually do 1 1/2 - 2 h long shows with sections, interludes, costume changes etc. How do you think they would look at? Let's make fantasy setlists, tour posters, stage design ideas, etc. 
There are no limits for your creativity!
 
Okay, so imma start with the...
