I'm in love with this record. However, I wish we would've been given the rest of the demos from it...I'm sure there are many.

Imagine Mermaid Motel

School

SOMEONE TELL ME WHO BEARD-MAN IS, DAMMIT!

Do we share a beard passion? How is this something I didn't know before?

I love all the sub-characters in this, each is really visually intriguing.

I'd still like to see a video for "Ridin", though.

But this video sounds straight-up badass. She must be the star.

I don't doubt that some (perhaps all) of these titles will remain on the true tracklisting, but remember all the fake tracklists for "Born to Die?" Exactly. Don't be too trusting.

I'm intrigued to know some of the fake titles, I wasn't a fan before the album.

I like this line. It reminds of a line from a Belle & Sebastian song, "If I could have a second skin, I'd probably dress up in you". :3

That's phreakier than phuck, Maru.

A smile just naturally comes to my face at the ex-boyfriend line. I love this song.

I love this forum. :')

Is this unpopular?

In the vein of these last few posts..."Match Made in Heaven" is pretty good. Certainly not at first. But it deserves some appreciation.

I really liked it. The whole offbeat thing (I take it that's a Lynch thing?) really plays well into her persona.

She's doing an awful lot of rap collabs, and yet still ignoring the most important one: AZEALIA BANKS

Don't rush perfection, Riley

Also, don't rush my very imperfect lack of song title ideas

I didn't ignore you, I messaged you.

I saw and was going to delete that post, but then you were too quick and quoted me...

Ignored Would you reconsider if I got a mic? I was going through the motions, but without this I don't really need one.

Edgy as fuck, with all the Bjork and iamwhoamiwaitwhat business :smiles:

I didn't think you were offended. My point was this (even though the answer is that it's a Lynch reference): Do you wonder why there's a soldier, a marine, a hypnotist, a secretary, or a dancing couple? What about their meaning? Do you understand their presence? Why does a midget's presence need to be singled out and explained or serve a specific aesthetic purpose apart from anyone/anything else? What about the costumes, sets, and props?

 

I'm not offended either or anything. I just feel compelled to ask these sort of questions.

I suppose there's no real context for any of them other than "inspired by Lynch", which I didn't know. This is too psychological for me Perhaps I was meant to have that reaction. Is that it? Is that the answer? It's because it was the most random and eye-catching in a series of random and eye-catching things.

Without You I'm Nothing by Placebo is the perfect album and I'd encourage literally anyone to listen to it.

Steam Engenius - Modest Mouse

I think a better question is: Why not? Why would that specifically need to be questioned? Imagine going to the grocery store to get some apples and seeing a midget in line and asking: Why is there a midget in the grocery store line?

A midget wasn't cast in the grocery store line for some specific aesthetic purpose. It's not like I'm offended by the midget. I just don't understand.

S3xy.

That said, HDB's one of my best franz here :love:

It's kind of the most difficult thing ever to work backwards--title to theme to lyrics.

what?

Why is there a midget in the commercial...?

I agree! And these lyrics were pretty clear for a Lana song, certainly no "Veuve Cliquot" or "Kiki Montparnasse" to decipher.
