the god damnnnn harmoniiiessssss  

So did Lana really imply that she would collab with Marina? That's what got across to me anyway
 
 
At first to all the marina fans wanting a collab on this album I was against it, cause I didn't know that Lana and her were real friends but I'm SO for it now omg

there's only 1 more that leaked recently, but Matt Maitland said that there was at least 6 covers they worked on:

 
she also used this cover as a backdrop for some TFJ live performances

They should have just released Disconnect 2 years ago. There is no reason why it takes 2 years to produce one song, especially if the new "production" is removing some instruments and making the song more bland

Lust For Life physical merchandise is now available for Preorder.

Surprised lana didnt say anything about the teleportation thing

I'm sure "peaches" means nothing. Keep in mind lana tends to use random words in her songs in order to achieve a certain aesthetic a lot

That fanart makes me mad because it's so much better than the official visuals. Honeymoon needs a pastel limited edition.

I originally posted this in the Pre-Release thread, but thought it'd get more attention here. Wanna explain something I happened to notice while checking out the snippets.

I honestly think "Love" was meant to set the mood for the album overall. It has the guitar, but it has the "wall of sound" hip-hop to it, as well. And then, from "Lust for Life" to "Coachella", it really is like a stretch of sexy, summer-driven hip-hop tracks and ends on a positive track that is political - and then, we get all the guitars, and the veteran folk singers (or related to them) rather than the contemporary artists that feature in the first half. I think it's very intentional that the last half is going to have a Woodstock-vibe, only through some of the familiar hip-hop additions that modernize classic sounds. "Tomorrow Never Came" sounds very 1967-71 rock. Definitely see where she's connecting the "two generations", and why she probably feels kids looking into vintage music may find it denser if they understand that history is sort of repeating itself through the anxiety of the current political American heat. It's exactly what she said she wanted to do with the album, and her chronology of the tracks seems to really suit that concept. Even at around the half-point of the album, if you count "Love" as just the intro/combination of the two sounds, and "Coachella" the track that moves the hip-hop into its poltical, folk-driven side.
 
Lana still doing concept, for sure. 
 
A SORT OF CHART (lol):
 
INTRODUCTION (folk guitar strings open the album, but blends into spacey, "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
01. Love
 
SEXY, SUMMER-Y, HIP-HOP (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises)
02. Lust for Life
03. 13 Beaches
04. Cherry
05. White Mustang
06. Summer Bummer
07. Groupie Love
08. In My Feelings
 
THE BRIDGE (a more stripped back hip-hop beat, letting the album kind of cool off a bit before getting more poltically-minded)
09. Coachella..
 
POLITICAL "GANGSTA" FOLKY-Y (7 "wall-to-wall" hip-hop noises, but more laid back, with heavier guitar and folk featured artists)
10. God Bless America..
11. When the War Was at War...
12. Beautiful People, Beautiful Problems
13. Tomorrow Never Came
14. Heroin
15. Change
16. Get Free
 
It's like she takes us from "Coachella" to "Woodstock" by using that track as a bridge. As I predicted, the song works in concept of the album; but releasing it as a single is bizarre. From what we have in the snippets, this album seems to be very well-thought out. 

"It took 13 beaches....."

I believe you're thinking of her Taratata interview:
 
It's possible she wanted to get Priscilla's blessing regardless of who held the rights.
 
 

It was officially released on iTunes and Amazon and probably a few other platforms on January 4, 2010 and was available for a few months. There were people who bought it at the time who later fans presumably got copies from. I assume this is how the gapless 256kbps digital retail version circulated by LDR.FM mods was obtained. @sexwithme is also correct that a version of the album was downloadable from the 5 Points Records website for awhile after she blew up. (I downloaded it directly from their site myself.) When "Video Games" first blew up there were blog posts such as this one that linked to it.

Reserving this post for my meltdown when I first listen to this track and gonna be reduced to tears beacuse it's so beautiful

Finally
I'm crossing the threshold
From the ordinary world
To the reveal of my heart
Undoubtedly
That will for certain
Take the dead out of the sea
& the darkness from the arts

This is my commitment
My modern manifesto
I'm doing it for all of us
Who never got the chance
For --- and for ---
& all my birds of paradise
Who never got to fly at night
'Cause they were caught up in the dance

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game or live my own life
& now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (out of the black!)
Into the blue (into the blue!)

Finally
Gone is the burden
Of the Crowley way of being
That comes from energies combined
Like my part was I
Was not discerning
And you, as we found out
Were not in your right mind

There's no more chasing rainbows
& hoping for an end to them
Their arches are illusions
Solid at first glance
But then you try to touch them
There's nothing to hold onto
The colours used to lure you in
& put you in a trance

Sometimes it feels like I've got a war in my mind
I want to get off, but I keep riding the ride
I never really noticed that I had to decide
To play someone's game or live my own life
& now I do
I wanna move
Out of the black (out of the black!)
Into the blue (into the blue!)

Out of the black (out of the black!)
Into the blue (into the blue!)
Out of the black (out of the black!)
Into the blue (into the blue!)
