Neon Palmmm

Jean Paul Gaultier, lingerie and A. Stone

Okay, this is about to be kind of a ramble about the above photos, but I guess the sleuthing thread is the place for it! I started looking into these photos earlier, because I thought I remembered them being connected to the Studio 356 sessions (makes sense, given the recording equipment + violin + Lizzy's hair). However, the weird part is that the poster on the back of the door matches this pic taken in 2007 in Lizzy and Chuck's apartment, where the violin is also barely visible: Given that I've never been able to track down any concrete evidence on Studio 356, is it possible that there's no such thing and the recordings were made at Lizzy's? If this is the case, I'm assuming that name was some sort of joke or invention of the band. In fact, I even have a sneaking suspicion that 356 could've been the apartment/street number This may have been noticed before, but it was kind of a revelation to me, after years of wishing I could crack whatever the hell Studio 356 is So, if anyone can shed any light on this, pls chime in -- if you're an ultra Lizzy stalker who knows her apartment/street number at this time... I need you Of course, there's also a chance that these photos are actually completely unrelated to those sessions, but in that case... what was she recording here

I’m sorry but “God’s a charlatan” is as silly a misreading as “I’m so me, Corinthians” from Fine China and both of them haunt me

I also have to remind myself every time that it’s not dog, but I do like the image of her and her dog taking midnight drives

Just earmarking this in light of the new Billy/Alabama lore…

Is there any possibility of these pics existing in higher quality, maybe from the photographer? The way even a tiny quality increase would cause SHOCKWAVES

Just voted some excruciatingly hard choices this year…

AKA's birthday is always a wonderful time to repost this beautiful creation by @Lana De Los Reyes I think it's truly a perfect trailer for AKA, and maybe one of the best things I've laid my eyes on in general <333

Happy birthday AKA, you may never have become the whole world's girl, but you're certainly ours One day, maybe I can articulate everything this album means to me, but wow... hearing AKA for the first time felt like coming home, and it's been that and so much more to me over the years. A comfort (a book of hymns?), an escape (my personal motel party!!), and the closest I'll probably ever hear to my own heart and mind being poured out into an album. For someone who grew up in that "dark trailer park life," and dreamt then and now of a bigger, more beautiful existence waiting somewhere out there, AKA says it all. Wild child, starry-eyed junkie, Coney Island Madonna, sick chanteuse and philosopher femme fatale... Lizzy Grant, ur everything

I've absolutely forgotten where I read this, but I recall a piece of email correspondence to a friend or something to that effect where Lizzy said OSCYS was a deeply personal song for her, that she often sang it to herself as a kind of comforting mantra. So, that one may have just been too close to her heart for her to give it a lot of public attention, and I can still see her cutting it from a later tracklist for that reason

Anyone ever run into the username 'lizzygrantandthelipstickpickups' before? I just found it through the Wayback Machine, connected somehow to her lizzygrant MySpace profile... it's adorable

The way this still sounds just as fresh as the day it leaked Kind of one of my favorite songs ever, not gonna lie... Heavy Hitter's a great song regardless, but she did some alchemy with this one I feel like the haziness of the laptop vocals is so perfect here, and they kind of run together with the instrumental, which has all the extra yells and wails that layer together with Lana's BVs... it's so smoky Florida Dark, it's so drugged-out on a summer highway, it's so surf-noir-Tropicana bliss. Neon palmmm take me AWAY

Omg ur gonna leak sugary sweet tomorrow?

So who’s gonna take one for the team and get permabanned for leaking the original file of The Song Which Shall Not Be Named

Baby we’ve got lyric threads

Just remembered this post, and needed to come back and give gratitude for Greenwich Acid and Star Lux leaking Feeling so lucky that two songs from my MOST-WANTED list surfaced!!!!!! I'll prolly remake this list soon, but bitch u best believe the studio version of LMH is staying Right There

I buy it

I kind of feel like I just had a revelation

Proposing a theory that track 12 could be "Film Roll"? I think the second word is especially distinctive, with the R and double Ls pretty clear to me. If it's 'film,' I think it's a little hard to read because the right side of the 'm' is kind of faint and makes it look like an 'e'... I've attempted to illustrate:

I'm currently catching up on Kali unreleased, and this... last time I updated my collection we only had one version Someone plz I'm so confused lmfao

My vinyl copy of UV survived a house fire, and while it's probably not smart for me to keep playing it... there's something cunty about that album in particular getting covered in soot/smoke #gasleakthoughts

I love doing this kind of stuff, esp. for older artists... totally gonna start researching when I get off work today

Both lyrics are in Bad Boy!

Felt like I was going insane reading this thread bc I LOVED the interview Such a thoughtful and intimate character sketch imo, I didn't mind not getting music tea because this just felt special and personal. I totally get being sick of the authenticity debate, but I think it's still relevant in that LDR *just* seems to be fully shaking that off in the public consciousness -- and as such, I really liked that the interviewer was transparent about what preconceived notions she had before/as she interviewed Lana. I think you'd be hard-pressed as an entertainment journalist to not carry at least some of those claims in the back of your head, given how widespread they've been since the early 2010s, so I found it super refreshing that she was up-front about what lens she was viewing Lana through. I think writing on LDR is owed that kind of clarity and candidness after so many instances of journalists intentionally misrepresenting her in their coverage I'll take a million more interviews like this, from people who seem genuinely and respectfully curious about Lana, and are doing something a little different than a streamlined publicity piece (or mean-spirited takedowns, ofc)
