Since the people are CLAMORING
It's a MAJOR update. At first I was going to do some casual shuffling just to get some of the eras in order and respect songwriting sessions (by having all Rural songs together, all Justin Parker, etc...you'll see). In the end I renamed them and had to sacrifice my beautiful Trash Magic covers (but like go ahead and consider this a commission son)
Now not only is every volume organized by year and cowriter, but it results in six thematically distinct albums named after different Lana-esque alteregos. It slays, it's a change, but give it a chance.
^^MySpace era and all acoustic tracks, pre-Lana Del Ray
^^Post-Lana Del Ray, 2009 tracks. Using both versions of CWYCM bc they're different vocal takes, so it's a cute reprise. (Track 19 is the version with extra lyrics, track 7 the one that repeats the "A-M-E-R-I-C-A" hook more)
^^I have three 2010 albums, this is the earliest and captures the sassy, slightly less produced guitar sound she was going for in early 2010. The Rural, The Flight, Eg White, etc.
^^Romantic bubbly pop, torch songs, sweeter than yo mama's apple pie. Justin Parker, The Nexus, Miranda Cooper, etc. (Also anticipating IWIA's leak as you can see)
^Mostly 2010, with 2011 sessions from Liam Howe and Tim Larcombe bc they fit with the commercial pop/hip-hop vibe of this volume. Pro-tip: I added a second to the already edited files of BMD and BBMB in Audacity bc the cutting fucks with the flow on these playlist. Kid Gloves, Liam Howe, Aaron LaCrate, etc.
^^All 2011 tracks with a more glamorous BTD sadcore vibe than anything previously. Rick Nowels, Chris Braide, Pete Ibsen, etc. Non-autotuned version of Making Out.
No longer the "Cartoon Baby" volume bc I'm putting Santa Baby and Cherry Blossom and future instagram singing clips there (and my volume rule is >2012), but you could do whatev
^^She's tidy now, I'm pleased
B-sides going STRONG, covers NOT QUITE THERE YET
^^Sorry I'm restless on the order for this one
^^RNV=Radio Mix. I used these demos bc these albums are about grouping sessions and these demos seem to be closest to the final product of BTD, though many alt versions are throughout the vols.
^^I added the official Y&B to Paradise sorry bout it
^^RNV=Radio Mix. I also intuitively feel like Your Girl will go after AFFA and before OUAD but we'll see
And if anyone's mad, my former playlists are commemorated on page 31 forev and who knows if we'll ever get new leaks from 2009-2011
(Summertime Sadness alt version belongs on volume 6 though. Somewhere)
