hi @@admin / any mods would y'all please help me fix the formatting of the OP? it's going nuts and saying it doesn't support the image extension even when I remove the image or change it

Do we know anything about Studio 356? The January/February 2007 sessions that produced versions of Disco/OSCYS/Let My Hair Down/FKP2/Get Drunk/RMU were allegedly recorded there with members of the Phenomena, but I've never heard any whisperings of where this was -- and a cursory Google search reveals nothing.

I’M DISGUSTED... Smarty, The Other Woman, AND JFK...?

I can be at peace with most of these but NOT this DMD slander

I don’t think DCMA deserves the bottom — Lana’s verse is pretty nice even if the rest isn’t — but I deadass can’t remember what GSOYB or Woman sound like And DLMBM is the most draggy, pitiful excuse for a track in her catalog!!!! Hate her, she sucked the life out of that song

I wasn’t here to celebrate 10 years of AKA yesterday, but you all best believe I gave her a listen (for the record, Put Me in a Movie STAYS my favorite Lana song, period) I still love this album SO much — it doesn’t matter how much my tastes change; there will always be something incredibly magical embedded into this record. I’m a huge fan of the music Lana is putting out now, but something sets AKA apart — there’s such an honesty and sense of hope and promise and excitement that shines out from it, that you just can’t recapture. It’s a totally singular voice and I hope one day it gets the recognition it so sorely deserves — there is truly not another album like it, by Lana or anyone else. Hopefully, today or in the next few days, I’ll update and fix up the OP. It’s what she deserves (She also deserved a birthday leak, buuuuut )

I think Stevie has an unusually large amount of demos that have circulated, in comparison to other artists at the time — I know I read an interview with Stevie about the 24 Karat Gold album, where she said she didn’t even remember/know some of those demos were circulating until her assistant pulled them up on YouTube to show her! It reminds me so much of Lana’s unreleased situation, and I can’t help but imagine that the two of them might’ve discussed it. Here’s one of my absolute favorite Stevie demos — it’s totally supplanted the released version for me: https://youtu.be/uyuo-_0A0y0

@@PARADIXO bby I promise I'm not trying to rush u I'm just excited to know the results

I think there’s some debate over how much of Garden of Shadows was written by VC, and the ghostwriter has confirmed that he wrote almost all of it based on some really early outlines VC left. I started it and could tell a difference I didn’t like, so I ditched it, but don’t let that stop you from trying it out!! And, I’m pretty sure her ghostwriter had the permission of the family/publisher to keep up the VC Andrews brand by writing under her name, but he’s still cranking out new series and sequels constantly, and I can’t help but think there’s a dip in quality just so they can keep making money ://///

LOVE these books They manage to be over-the-top gothic soap opera fodder without losing any emotional punch, which is a pretty amazing feat, imo. My Sweet Audrina is an amazing standalone novel by Andrews that I love more than Flowers in the Attic some days — you should check it out if you like this series! Be careful, though, because anything besides the first four Flowers books, My Sweet Audrina, and the first two Heaven books are by a ghostwriter working under Andrews’ name, and they’re not nearly as balanced and good as the stuff she wrote :/

the flavor these two have.... omg

Last song of 2019: So Good (Honeymoun Mix) - Lana First song of 2020: Egyptian Shumba - The Tammys

why am i the ONLY voter for our heavy metal king Arthur Lynn

Where's Arthur Lynn I need him here

I wanna eventually do a retrospective rating for Lana’s 2000’s music too

is she still coming

I think that’s generally assumed to be another name/reference to Pin Up Galore

thank you totally forgot how badly i needed these also totally got chills bc in Me and My Boyfriend she sings "Marilyn" several times the exact same way she does in the live performance of the song "Marilyn".... beginning to think she scrapped that song and folded that part of it into Me and My Boyfriend also, here's all the original snippets on Picosong, in case any are missing up there -- if you want to grab these, do it before Pico goes down in a few days!!:

THIS!!! Of course, she'd probably lean on them just as she does the backing track, but at least it wouldn't feel like you're hearing the record when she performs.

toot!! THAT is the way to do a gr8 60s/70s throwback look unlike the cheap-ass peace sign earring phase she went thru

literally what are the first three omg i've heard of Russian but i know nothing abt it

Mertens’ AKA remains a long shot, but Rich Whores sessions are feasible and I’m dying for them

just submitted whew! very confident in my rankings
