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

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 :/

LANALYSIS: Relating Songs To Known/Assumed Relationships
sparklrtrailrheaven replied to Sitar's topic in Lana Thoughts
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!!:

Lana and Jack to perform/appear at the Grammy Museum (Oct 13)
sparklrtrailrheaven replied to ilovetati's topic in Appearances
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.- 139 replies

LA Times - October 3rd, 2019 [Print]
sparklrtrailrheaven replied to evilentity's topic in New Interviews
Assuming that 'fan behavior' means constant positivity for the artist you're a fan of is unrealistic. We're not going to all appreciate what Lana does artistically or personally, especially when her choices -- such as dating Larkin -- are building up institutions that clash directly with a lot of people represented in this fanbase. It's not wrong to express feelings on that.
