angel galore

Yeah, you're right there. I was experimenting with different forms of promotion and in hindsight, that was a little dishonest. I'm not sure if you've ever written a book, but it's tough out here! <3 

you're not too fair off on lana herself sometimes being wrong, such as claiming that certain songs were recorded when she was 16 when they were obviously recorded much later... or that thing about her falling from a tree-house onto a fire-pit and later having a psychic tell her that that is why she has a light, breathy voice  

Whew, a lot of hate directed towards my writing here, so I'd like to address some of these.
  
 
I titled the book "F**ked My Way Up to the Top" because it was provocative and brilliant title from one of Lana's songs. In fact it was Father John Misty who said, “You can take all the crack songwriters and put them in a bunker for a thousand years, and they would not come up with ‘Fucked My Way Up To The Top’ ever, which I think will go down as the greatest song title of all time.” 
 
As for starting my own religion, again that was more of a marketing strategy. I have dedicated much of my life to studying religion and wanted to compile that information into one place. If you that makes me a "quack" then my I recommend you read it first.

I am very aware (and embarrassed) that I misquoted the lyrics from Ride. That will be fixed in future editions.
  
 
I have done my homework and everything included in this book is creative commons licence. This is not my first rodeo.
 
 
This is untrue, she has mentioned dit several times.  
  
 
I assure you through my months of hard work that AI was in no way involved in the writing of this book. I find is strange that you would think this.
   
 
Be that as it may, I did my research and you will not find another Lana biography as thorough as this one. I challenge you to name one.
 
A few of you have brought up the vegetarianism section. It's true, I could not find a reputable source so I carefully included it with the caveat "details are hazy". I thought that was fair.
 
Anyway, I put a lot of blood into this book and I'm proud of it. You've got to have a tough skin when you're an author because people do like to attack you, so I take a deep breath and accept your hatred.
 

For everyone else who was kind of enough to request a copy, check your email! There's a PDF link there! Let me know if you need anything else and I'll be happy to oblige. 
 

i find it concerning that they put hope lyrics as ride lyrics

Heavenly Bodies really was the best theme 

i dont like her but the concept is cute

Margaret Qualley’s there (in a very mediocre outfit) so the chances of Lana showing up have increased a bit perhaps

Anok Yai's look...wow 

either she has the foot fetish or someone loves feet and she loves them and wants to send secret messages to them ... maybe every time she posts her feet it's the equivalent of sending a u up text to barrie ... but it could just be her
 
women with foot fetishes! they need more representation lana is such a good role model ... pls raise awareness for them 

Text Book, I had nightmares for a week when that song came out. 

can't wait to wake up one day, open LB and see "LDR10 - Pre-Release Thread"

I'm so happy somebody finally called out that it isn't a sample of the NfR song during the second half. It's been driving me crazy since the notes are so clearly very different. 

has something sexual happened since i last opened this thread?

some kid on tiktok called me a local for believing this is real 

There's also the fact Born To Die had Without You and Lolita on Deluxe and, like, This Is What Makes Us Girls on the standard so... she was probably just pissing on Interscope back in 2014 lmao.

Maybe she’s releasing it because she said yes to h-evan

if i had to chose ten songs max as a MUST have
(in no specific order)
Trash Magic Serene Queen Damn You You're Gonna Love Me Your Girl Fine China Dragon Slayer Hollywood - correct ver Yes to Heaven Hollywood's Dead Serial Killer - bonus track since she's performed this live many times You Can Be the Boss - bonus track since she's performed this live (many times?)

this. I've never understood why people would ever want a song of leaked unreleased songs. instead of getting music, we get music we already have. Lana's also does her best work when she has a vision for an album/era, so throwing together a bunch of unreleased songs that weren't good enough to make past albums would just feel low effort.
 
The only reasons I can see myself being excited about an album of leaked unreleased songs are:
If releasing it didn't delay her next album at all. If I knew that she already had another album in the works and she was truly releasing this just as a bonus to fans or to get money for songs that are being streamed millions of times on YouTube with no money going to her, I'd be cool with it. It would be nice to have high quality versions of her best unreleased songs and have them easily available across all streaming services Also, not going to lie, I'd get super excited if she re-released AKA with a full physical CD and fully designed booklet, maybe even rereleasing old music videos remastered from that era, etc. I'd definitely buy that and be down for it.  
I guess my biggest problem would come in if she promotes it as a brand new era with a bunch of hype and then we get the tracklist and it's just songs we already have. If she instead just posted on IG and said "This is a bonus collection of songs to my fans available next week" and dropped the album, I'd be a lot more content with that.

Many artists have released anthology albums and material with outtakes in the past. It’s not exactly a new concept. However, with Lana it’s the case that she is missing out on a lot of revenue, money and recognition. Her leaked material has viral potential. It could elevate her popularity a lot and she would get more streams = more money.
 
There is absolutely no reason why they shouldn’t do it.

Anyway I hope it happens and she puts "Velvet Crowbar" and "Tired Of Singing the Blues" 
thoughts ?

GUYS WE WON I THINK, Nikki added after saying she was happy for Lanas engagement, that the album and VIDEOS (plural) are like a “Breath of fresh air”. Did she just confirm there will be multiple video projects?? Teehee

the fact that they added every song on the album to her “Best Of” playlist on spotify 

When it's another Woman/Pink Champagne situation and the OG IYLDWM is a jazzy psychedelic rock masterpiece then what

If she takes away the guitar it literally takes away the entire instrumental melody😭 and no drums would make the song so lifeless… if this is true I will just stick the the unreleased versions lmao

It’s just me looking for Lana Del Rey ASMR every night
