Wonder which country will get it first...

I don't want them on the release, don't get me wrong. The more I listen to Born to Die, the more I see it's theme as "dark side of the American dream", in Lana's words, than just glamorous, heartbroken woman. Those two would totally fit with this. I think they would have been very appropriate on BTD, in fact, but perhaps they were left off for a reason. Imagine DY and HD alongside Without You or Radio. It's fitting. And the more Lana insists on forcing her voice to go deep, the more autotune we'll see.

ednafrau, you're so insightful! If I ever forget to listen to anything, it's usually BTD tracks ("Diet Mountain Dew", I literally forgot about it for so long) or demos. My master Lana playlist covers several eras and I listen almost every day.

Interesting--I've heard things about Lana's age not being quite exact, but never that she physically looks to be in her 30s. I don't see it. I'll keep the opinions going: Her deep voice is forced as hell, she should drop it. I want to hear "Blue Jeans" sung in her natural AKA voice, so she doesn't sound like she's barking in concert.

Need this mix now :imbeingsarcasticbitch2: It's really different and interesting, but fits right in with songs like Mermaid Motel. It could have been a reject, as it was recorded in a real studio and not acoustically. However, it seems the only information we have on it are the dates.

Someone get Dale Cooper over here, he has the best Lana .gifs.

I will consider this

Can we get a "new content" button? Disappeared in this last update.

But you've only heard one song. I think there's bound to be more than stuff like ISTBE. If it's a final statement on Born to Die, which includes upbeat songs like OTTR, NA, and DMD, then why shouldn't we expect something similar? Even "Will You Still Love Me..." seems more subdued than dramatic. I think ISTBE is a pretty dark song, but maybe it's to the Paradise Edition as Carmen is to Born to Die. Pretty dark, but not out of place. I think those two sounds, thematically, fit in perfectly. However, I don't think they'll be on this release.

Killing an Arab - The Cure

Wikipedia :ph34r: Aren't "Burning Desire" and "Because of You" fake?

Really, the demos are almost always better. Particularly for Driving in Cars With Boys and National Anthem. Another recent love is Yayo as it appears on No Kung Fu, it has this great power to it.

I have a theory--I think maybe this song is actually called "Miss America". And the demo including part of this song is "Trash (Miss America)". And the full version is the final "Trash Magic". Does this seem plausible to anyone else?

Thanks for elaborating

Don't do this to me

Good thing the "Radioactive" copy won Video of the Year, has to reflect positively on her somehow

Drunk Girls - LCD Soundsystem

"Puppy Love" is the way more engaging title, and if I had no idea that was ever a consideration and knew it as the basic "Marilyn Monroe", I'd think, "Well, why the fuck does she say 'puppy love' so much?" Similiar to "China Doll" shitting on "Without You".

My favorites are "Between Two Lungs" and "What the Water Gave Me", methinks. But I'm bad, I haven't listened to the Calvin Harris song, is it good?

Being pro-this shoot, this is the only point I can really get behind. That it's GQ makes it a different story. Even if they used one of the other shots for the cover--the bathing suit or mask. But from a perspective of Lana's decisions, I hate all this role-model, anti-feminist stuff I'm hearing. No little girl is like, "Grab my non-tit so I can look like Lana Del Rey!" As a principle it's a whole different argument, but I don't think that's what Lana has ever attempted to portray. Before knowing anything about her and simply listening to her album, I thought she was a kept woman whose sugar daddy bought her a record deal. And then in the unreleased material, she's suddenly a "dangerous girl", "belong to everybody the [she] walk by", "the whole world's girl", and essentially way more individualistic. I don't think this makes her essentially anti-feminist, though. It's difficult to explain. I don't think feminism has to be one thing. Maybe this wasn't a very feminist move, but it doesn't define her whole persona. Lana isn't the problem here.

This is some next level National Treasure shit. Only Lana

Oops, opened a can of worms. Y'all are prudes. Why can't you be sexual and pro-female? She will never write another song as good as "Get Drunk" or "Disco" as long as she's focused on being this deep-voiced, overproduced retro queen with purty lyrical phrasing

Post your unpopular opinions on Lana Del Rey here! I will of course start: The No Kung Fu "Yayo" shits all over the album version.
