Unidentified Major Tom

December 18th really would be the perfect day for a single 

I think it was touched on like once in the past a very long time ago
 
I mentioned it in a thread 2 months ago so this is so cool to know that it hasn't been a forgotten fact... though a little misleading because though she wasn't signed with Sony, she had a deal with them and had a lot of sessions under them (late 2010-mid 2011), I believe this was just for her to work more and bring new music into them to potentially sign her but they weren't feeling anything she was doing. Then Video Games blew up and Sony probably wanted to sign her then but she was like nah and went to Interscope
 
There was a guy at Sony who was in love with Lana (thought she was hot) and opened up closed studios just for her to record free stuff  queen shit...

sorry if this is the wrong topic thread, please move it mods... 
Larry Jackson speaks about getting Lana Del Rey on SNL & signing her to Interscope!

Larry speaks about A&R and how amazing Lana Del Rey is! he helped sign her to Interscope and get her the SNL deal. calls her initially as "ah Lizzy" 
Larry and his pal John Ehmann were fired from SONY Music. John Ehmann said Larry should listen to a demo called "Diet Mtn Dew" by an artist named Lana, who Sony just passed on.  
Larry loved it! 
says he met Lana 2 months after he himself moved to Los Angeles. she came in looking like she had walked off the set of the BTD album cover! Lol. he was enthralled by her. 
Says the night before she signed w/Interscope, she got a deal from SONY UK for 2 times as much money, and she said No! and signed the next day with Interscope !!!! (our queen) 
Larrys says lana means so much to him and Interscope. He says at that point he was willing to help her do anything to help her artistic vision come to life (especially understanding that 2 times amount Sony offered was a big deal to a artist trying to make ends meet) 
He says she told him she wanted to be "Gangsta Nancy Sinatra" and he was sold! Ed/Ben/Lana signed officially and INterescope helped them make BTD with Emile Haynie and Justin Parker. 
BTD cost only $183,000. 
says he got an idea to write a letter to Jimmy Iovine to send to Lorne Michael of SNL about getting Lana on. 
Discussed how being an A&R is about believing in the vision when no one else does. Says the Brian Williams article was very hurtful to him and to lana (bc at the time Brian Williams was a respected journalist - which is funny now because he got fired and lost journalistic integrity for fabricating a story about jumping out of a plane in the Iraq war in 2003 _ LOL did "did anyone else die for you") 
 
Larry talks a bit more about how she and Chief Keef at such important musical figures who have shaped music and provided a breath of fresh air to a time of stagnant music. 
 
Larry says he felt extremely motivated after SNL and so did Lana.

Not me bringing back the big question :

I will upload the Horizontal version soon on YouTube. 

Honestly it might have seemed a bit repetitive but we had some treats over the last two years. Flipside, diet Mountain Dew, peppers, body electric, without you. the lyric changes in Chemtrails, soundchecks of For K and RBFY. Coacella in general, jealous girl, ocean eyes. We got tough, so many broadcasted shows. So many guests. We’ve had some random festival appearances and covers. A truck of special guests. Headlining Hyde park and doing glasto in the same year is massive. Getting cut off at glasto was also iconic. The lizzy Grant footage appearing throughout the show, the Tropico footage. Random fishtail intro. We really won. 

Instantly remembered this connection @blackenedrussianpoetry found few weeks ago! 
 
No problem and thank you for clarifying and for finding the timezone website!

Lost at sea - 10
Hollywood Bowl - 14
Snow on the beach ( more lana ) - 8
Say yes to heaven - 19
Take me home, country roads - 17
Suburban House - 2

We had nothing to lose, nothing to gain, nothing we desired anymore, except to make our lives into a work of Lasso 

not to hype any of you because i don’t have any further information as of now BUT there is an item drop scheduled for 07/30 (“soft launch” most likely pre-order) and finally dropping on 09/08.
not sure if it’s just another random merch drop, a drop dedicated to the successful “tough” to boost it’s sales, or for the new era…
 
once I know more, I will let you know

Hi all,
I wanted to check in with you all about the recent rise in drama that the mod team and I have noticed over the past couple of weeks. It appears that drama on the site among members is at a peak, so I wanted to pop in and remind you all that LanaBoards won't tolerate certain types of behaviour.
It seems that the drama is especially high in other artists' threads and in world news threads, especially when it comes to hot-topic debates. While LanaBoards welcomes opinions and discussions of different viewpoints, it is important that these opinions are shared and discussed in a respectful manner. As stated in our rules, LanaBoards will not tolerate any posts that are meant to be purposely inflammatory (flaimbaiting to intentionally start an argument) rude, hateful, insulting, or otherwise crossing a line, and members violating this rule will be warned and given restrictions at our discretion. This is something the moderator team is going to be taking very seriously as it is our mission to have LanaBoards be a safe and welcoming space for all.
Something we've especially been noticing a rise in is personal attacks towards other members and people including other artists, which is something we won't tolerate. Let this serve as a reminder that behind the usernames and profile pictures, we are all real people with real feelings. There's no need to make things personal. Please be mindful and respectful of this when communicating with other members. Again, we do welcome varying opinions and healthy, constructive debates, but please keep these respectful. Think before you press reply.
Something else to keep in mind is that not all intense debates need to be made public, especially if they're veering off-topic of the thread. We encourage users to make use of our personal messaging system to have private discussions, but again, please keep these respectful.
We understand that news is slow at the moment on the Lana front so tensions are a little high, but please don't let this translate into disrespect towards others. 
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns - you all should feel comfortable to reach out to me or another staff member at any time about anything. We are here to help and keep this place safe and enjoyable at the end of the day.
I hope to see things become more peaceful. I'm sending you all lots of love and I hope you all enjoy your weekend x
Let's work it out on the remix~
