  1. Because I can't drop the Clockwork Orange connotation, I'm imagining a quirky-ass tracklist tbh... 01. MAHA MAHA 02. BACKFIRE 03. HUNDRED DOLLAR BILL 04. STRANGE LOVE 05. CATCH AND RELEASE 06. MOI JE JOUE (FT. PRINCESS SUPERSTAR) 07. COME WHEN YOU CALL ME A.M.E.R.I.C.A. 08. MOTEL SIX 09. MY BEST DAYS 10. BOARDING SCHOOL 11. GO GO DANCER 12. OOOH BABY 13. HAWAIIAN TROPIC 14. SCARFACE 15. PARADISE 16. MAKING OUT 17. GOLDEN GRILL I can't justify this.
  2. ^ If dwelling on it fuels her ambition to write music, then it's all fine with me, tbh.
  3. Hypothetical, uh... extension/re-issue of Paradise. Had some fun with the titles; don't flip your shit. TROPICO 01. PUSSY (cola w/ song of myself intro) 02. TWO HOURS TO NEVADA (yayo) 03. INNOCENCE LOST (gods & monsters) 04. DRIVE (burning desire) 05. ONE DAY (hollywood) 06. MARY PRAYS THE ROSARY (body electric) 07. ROSES (bel air) 08. AFFA (angels forever, forever angels) 09.

TONIGHT (i don't wanna go) 16. WHAT CAN I DO (black beauty) Lana meets the man of her dreams, but he passes before she can make a move on him... and then she finds someone else, but he scorns her in short order. I'd like to think that if Lana ever made an album mirroring her take on how the US has treated her thus far, this would be it.
  4. I felt it when she was grinding on that pole. "I did what I had to do..." Jesus fuck. I'm gonna have to be put in a hospital after watching this.
  5. Picked up the BTD vinyl alongside ARTPOP today. <3
  6. Living for the outfits they had her in for this shoot, omfg...
  7. I'm kind of the Lana/Gaga go-to guy in my social circles, but baby that's alright with me~ I know a couple of people who are casual Gaga fans, and one girl who could just as well have an account on here, though, so I'm not all alone!
  8. Insofar as a leak can be remembered fondly, of course Rebecca doesn't count tbh I'll always remember the .zip that leaked containing Moi Je Joue, among other tracks ... I think I had a religious experience when I listened~ Delicious gets a special mention for being the first leak I can remember since I became a fan -- but GBA came out around then as I recall, so maybe that counts instead
  9. 94 remixes (soon to be like, 102 lol) and 31 fanmades.
  10. Titles are probably my favorite aspect of Lana's work. Westbound Aviation Kill Kill Mermaid Motel Blue Ribbon Come When You Call Me A.M.E.R.I.C.A. Daytona Meth Bollywood Hawaii Stoplight De-Lite
  11. White Pontiac Heaven is on this list? 1) Bollywood Hawaii (or I guess Maha Maha, but I prefer BH in terms of vocals) 2) Catch & Release 3) Hollywood 4) Daytona Meth 5) Stoplight De-Lite 6) Hot Hot Hot 7) Dance Man 8) Heartshaped Chevrolet 9) AFFA 10) Scarface
  12. ole hyvä, bb! if you have it, could you send it to me, please?
  13. It's the production for me; it's so drab. The demo makes the song a whole lot more intense, and conveys the story in a much more Lana kind of way thus, I think. TBH, most of my dislikes aren't even that bad -- like I listen to Sirens religiously, but I had to be fair and pick out at least two I don't love as much as the rest of it. Junky Pride is simply kind of dull to me -- and I relate so hard to All You Need that it makes me cry, and that's really damn annoying when you're on the train and it comes on shuffle, and you're sitting there like "fuckfuckfuckfuckfuck" lmfao EDIT: AND I REALLYREALLYREALLY LIKE TRASH SUGAR MAGIC IN REALITY BUT JUST AS "THE MAN I LOVE" SMH <////3
  14. ^ Yes -- or well, IDK about the kbps, but everything else.
  15. ^ That's because it's from the fanmade, extended 3:07 version, right? Could you send me yours? I just have this extended one and I'd like the original too. <3
  16. y'all hating on Come When You Call Me God tho smh
  17. Sirens: All You Need, Junky Pride AKA: Oh Say Can You See, Mermaid Motel BTD: Million Dollar Man, Lucky Ones, Carmen, Dark Paradise Paradise: Yayo, Blue Velvet, American Unreleased: Live Or Die, Dum Dum, Gangsta Boy, JFK, Dynamite, Damn You, Hollywood's Dead Demos & Alternates: Carmen (Demo), Diet Mountain Dew (Demo 3), Lolita (Demo 3), Without You (Demo 1), Put Me In A Movie (Demo 2), Yayo (Demo 1), Hit It & Run, Dum Dum (Demos 1 and 2), Trash Sugar Magic So that's like, a good fifth of her discography. But yeah, "least favorite" is pretty relative. It's more like these are the songs I need to warm up to whenever I listen to them -- which is rather seldom, so I guess ...
  18. ^ Carmen in general counts, I should think. Considering this scene from the 1997 movie, which is in the book as well. I mean, the title of that song is "Little Carmen," as in Lana's acapella demo. Go figure.

    1949

    Ruched tops and Cadillacs Blue Lake Carter dunks Hop-scotch, shit talk ?
  20. ^ So I just did this: Songs w/ palpable Lolita references: Lolita (duh) Off To The Races ("light of my life, fire of my loins") Put Me In A Movie // Little Girls (mirroring Dolores' relationship with Quilty) 1949 (more roadtrip imagery than in all of Lana's songs combined; Humbert's roadtrip after he abducts Dolores definitely comes to mind) Carmen (Dolores' favorite record, "LIttle Carmen," shares its name with Lana's acapella demo for this song) Velvet Crowbar ("flame-colored paradise for you, darling" vs "i still dwelled deep in my elected paradise - a paradise whose skies were the color of hell-flames - but still a paradise") Angels Forever, Forever Angels (more references to flame-colored skies in paradise, as with the above example) Heartshaped Chevrolet ("love my lips and my golden tan; you love my heartshaped sunglasses" -- Humbert likes to go on about Dolores' looks in similar turns of phrase, and the heartshaped sunnies are an iconic Lolita thing) Every Man Gets His Wish ("he loves my heartshaped sunglasses," again) I'd add more, but a lot of the time -- even with 1949, I'd argue -- the lines are sorta blurred. On Our Way certainly counts for roadtrip imagery, and Motel 6 (as well as Queen Of The Gas Station, though to a lesser extent) but it's much less prominent to me. Lolita has a lot of Americana going for it, and so does like 90% of Lana's material, so it's difficult to say what's intended and what's not. Help me out if you'd like.
