Lana Del Rey about the "gangsta Nancy Sinatra" nickname in an interview for Dazed in 2011:
"I didn’t come up with that! My managers were struggling to describe my music to labels and kept saying, 'What genre is it? What style?' I called it Hollywood Sadcore. But my manager said, 'She's like a gangsta Nancy Sinatra!' And as soon as it flew out of his mouth, it fucking stuck like glue. I spend eight fucking years writing gorgeous songs and someone in a meeting says 'gangsta Nancy Sinatra' and that's that. It's brutal. I know two of Nancy's songs but she's not someone I've ever really listened to. I know everything about Frank, of course, because he's the real singer. It just goes to show how fucking stupid people can be sometimes."
 
I suggest reading that interview, it's really interesting: https://www.dazeddigital.com/music/article/11702/1/lana-del-rey-bad-girl-blues

your mind 

I hope she brings back doin time on the set list, would be perfect with summer festivals 

i didn't realize that the website was down til like today, and the first thing that i thought about, actually thought about- 
was the beyonce thread and the cover. so. that being said. yes this thread's awfully dehydrated.

i've ideas:
- visuals in the ways of the MGM lion for a music video, except, have it read "LDR" with her swinging thru the circle for a music video moment. 
- we'll need transition scenes for some kind of cowboy visual, bc why dabble in a newer genre and not jump into it full on, so yes. album trailer. 
transition scenes can be the circle rings of the actual lasso. camp. visually consistent. helps move the visuals along, aside from horses etc. 
- please reference the soft yellow from the blue banisters era. it could symbolize being the same person, but still acknowledging growth. maybe a soft yellow part of a cowboy getup. 
- cactus flowers somehow
- would love a saloon moment 

- merch:
- cowboy spurs shoes. 
- bandanas, handkerchiefs. with a nice embroidery of LDR. subtle. still wearable without looking to costume-y. hire a gay Lana, they'll put in more effort
- star shaped pins, sim. to a sheriff etc. not too gaudy, but in a kitsch kinda way
- please bring back a heart shaped locket. 

maybe like 13 songs.
- she can go for the campy route. cute. tongue in cheek a bit. 
- country rock blues. 
- the legend route, timeless.
- wondering what the temperature of the bop anthem's gonna be like. 
- a song that really blends with the weather. 

we're already expecting cowboys, so why not aliens too


so. 
feeling 13 songs. 
an album visual, and I want to say a short film. some kind of razzle dazzle
some kind of dive bar performance string shows 
live tv performances to really christen the era 
maybe have some song for a film to feel things out first. 

we need more fashion moments. 


if there's anything else, even better. 


from an lb member that's awfully bored but felt the need to contribute somehow. 

and high by the beach. She has way too many slow songs in her sets imo.
 
Doin time, cherry, coco puff, high by the beach, SS, off to the races, west cost, cola, venice bitch and serial killer should be compulsory imo.
 
please no grants, arcadia, white mustang and other mid-level ballads. if you're gonna do ballads, do it right (Y&B, OB, Chemtrails, etc).

Same

She called video games and ride country so who knows what country really is for Lana 

Manifesting a collab with Dolly Parton, it would be so iconic and interesting! I really hope Lana caught the occasion when they met

If VG was arranged exactly the same way, but on acoustic guitar instead of harp/orchestra, it would definitely be country.

People, have you seen the short movie which was used as a promo for Jaguar's F-TYPE and which featured Lana's Burning Desire. I remember watching this, it was cute, kinda weird, nothing really special but once Burning Desire was played, instant goosebumps
