Hi, this is my first time starting a topic (took me a good while to figure out how to share photos on here, haha), but I just wanted to share something I made recently: I got a myself a custom lyrics book printed for Ultraviolence as it has always bothered me that the official one doesn't include the full lyrics. I designed it using Photoshop and I know it's nothing fancy but I really enjoyed putting it all together and I'm pleased with how it has come out. (Want to add a quick thanks to everyone in the Resources thread for researching and sharing all the official fonts they could find. That thread was seriously so helpful! Oh, and the Lyrics thread, obviously very useful as well.)

I'm currently working on a second book for Honeymoon, using a lot more of my own photos this time. I've nearly finished it, just need to work a few more things out but I'll update this post when I'm done and it arrives.

Anyway, feel free to critique/tell me ways I can improve on any elements for next time, I know some of the black and white photos didn't print so well so I'm trying to avoid using those in the future. Really pleased I finally found a company that prints images on the spine though, so the spine matches the front cover.

 
 
 
 
 

 




Also here's a preview of one spread in the Honeymoon book (unfinished, I need to change the title colour and finish the transparency on the flower, etc.):
 
 
 

waiting for the witchy gothic lovestruck one in HQ...

Hi all! I'll be logging out of LB for a little but I realized I never uploaded the masters after the fan favorites vinyl got cancelled. 
 
Feel free to use the artwork attached, I have it watermarked on the back cover so pls don't remove it so I can get proper credit. 
 
If you end up making your own custom vinyl, post it here so we can all see!

The cute lil interview bit with Riley - 
 

“She’s unearthly suburban and unreasonably talented, and she can pretend to be a normal person,” the filmmaker and writer John Waterstells me. “I think of the ad campaign for Russ Meyer’s Lorna,” he says admiringly, referring to the 1964 sexploitation film. “[The tagline] could go for her: ‘Longing, love, lust, life, Lana. Too much for one man.’ ” Director David Lynch is also a fan. “She tells a story in her music,” Lynch says. “She gives a mood and a story and a way to think, and she paints a picture in your brain.”
 
John Waters AND David Lynch (and Joan Baez) like the rest of the interview aside from setting the scene (also chefs kiss) was bad but this is everything I’m so serious. 
 

Americana vein like Bruce Springsteen 

In reading a lot of old articles about you, both with or without your participation, you seemed to have a lot of ideas projected onto you without a lot of room to respond. Was that your experience? 
That made there be no room. I wonder if that’s why I’m allowed to have my moment. But I’ve heard some good stories about some of the writers that I did not like. One of them ran up their company card on prostitutes. I love that. It just goes to show you that it’s not personal. Sometimes, the things you read, there’s a little bit of projection there. That’s the only guy who I’ve ever remembered his full name, but I’m not going to say it.
 
 
 
WHO LMAOOOO

Are you still thinking about doing a cover album?
Yeah, I want to. I’ve collected my cover songs for seven years. And I’ve said so much that I wanted to say, so it’s an awesome time to think about that. The standards. 
 

Ohhh, that's so annoying. Good efforts on trying to track it down though. I haven't found it for sale second-hand anywhere either, which really makes me think they printed barely any. Please let me know if you hear back from the official merch suppliers though! 🤞

I want that pink A3 poster that sold out crazy fast but I don't think it was ever sold through this website anyway. I went to literally every merch stand asking for it I don't know why they didn't print way more initially, they were just cheap prints selling for £15, like, they could have made a killing on these... 

Hi all, I finally photographed my Honeymoon fan-made lyrics book as well! (Only took me 2 years 🙃)
Below are photos of some pages, but if you want to see a video containing every page, click here

I'm really pleased with how this came out even though the image uploader on the printer's website nearly ended me. I used way more of my own photos this time round, so basically any photo that isn't of Lana was my own photography (minus the images used on the Religion, Music to Watch Boys To pages, and the back cover) and I scanned in some pressed flowers and such, which I'm glad to have finally had a use for.
Would love to do more of these but they take an absolute age. Maybe when I retire...

Someone on reddit made this amazing Lana vinyl collecting chart and I know a lot of us will find it incredibly useful:

The original post if you want to compliment or thank the creator:
(they also have a chart for Taylor Swift if you collect her too)
 

I dropped my phone in the toilet while trying to ordering that vinyl at 2am in the morning here in AUS …  
 

God bless the Canadian store and it's incredibly reasonable shipping 🙏
I missed this from the UK store but shipping from Canada was only £5?! Phewww. I'm sure it will probably be restocked soon, as they've been pretty good lately with restocks, but just incase... It's too pretty, I couldn't risk missing it.

🥰 Btw, you could also try trading with someone who hates Lust for Life and loves Ultraviolence, lol

Haha, that is true, it is a one-off! Maybe I'll make my own really crap version of the LFL patch and glue it on myself  
And luckily the necklace itself wasn't damaged, only the box, so it's not too bad. Thanks for your input, I think I will keep them both, now (like that took much convincing...)
