  2. ole hyvä, bb! if you have it, could you send it to me, please?
  3. 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
  4. ^ Yes -- or well, IDK about the kbps, but everything else.
  5. ^ 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
  6. y'all hating on Come When You Call Me God tho smh
  7. 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 ...
  8. ^ 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 ?
  10. ^ 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.
  11. Source for this amazing quote? I'm doing a project on Lana (or ~the relevance of authenticity within the music industry~ but basically Lana) for school and this would be cute to include.
  12. They're disgusting, I'm delicious They disgust me, I'm delicious Let's discuss this, I'm delicious Fffffffff~
  13. Anyone else feel like it would be a good idea to compile all of her references to Nabokov's Lolita somewhere? I seem to find more than just the obvious -- like Put Me In A Movie has that whole Quilty thing going on... This might be reaching (because a lot of it is thematic, after all) but I still think it'd be a cute project.
  14. I started hearing and you'll buy me pop because I'm sweeter than heaven just now...?
  15. How have you arranged the other leaks, then? <3 I'd rather keep the acapella demos where they are -- idk about you, but yeah.
  16. What about Boarding School > Hawaiian Tropic > Motel 6 or Trash Magic > Hawaiian Tropic > The Man I Love? And whereabouts did you put the other four tracks? Dx
  17. I'm pretty sure it's: Baby, you know mama never had much money But I plan on using this face to pay, honey Also: I remember vintage green wallpaper Your criminal arms, I couldn't feel safer
  18. How many versions are there of Spender? I have three of them in my folder and all three have slightly differing instrumentation...
  19. Got that same address if you want to write -- One Greenwich Avenue, wishing and thinking of you.
  20. ^ Well shit, but that still leaves Cola. @@NamiraWilhelm: 'Cause I have nothing else to do This summer but commit it to you~
  21. It has to be something about meth, considering: Daytona Meth (the aforementioned unleaked track, going from appearance more than anything though) Methamphetamines (fits in with the whole Elvis thing too) Boarding School (if you wanna get that sugar cane, or that crystal methamphetamine -- but that's just the live version, so) Stoplight De-Lite (fly body, dope in the face -- see below for doubts I have on this) American (get your crystal method on, the aforementioned Paradise track) Although in Cola, the lyrics go "dope, shoot it up, straight to the heart please" -- not to mention how she sings about cocaine/yayo on Paradise as well. I just figured it can't be that, because there's definitely more than 5 tracks on which she references cocaine/yay/yayo... but "dope" is inspecific too and might not even be referring to a drug, let alone some drug in particular, so I'm at a loss.
  22. Me too, but that doesn't stop me from trying to find the password. #thirstybitch
  23. ^ Noir is 2MB and if Midnight Dancer Girlfriend is a rough Go Go Dancer demo like expected, then... o_o
