great answers, everyone! <3 i'm especially looking for a playlist like @LAman did-- i want what you think are the BEST songs and the best PERFORMANCES of those songs, all rolled into one PERFECT concert! thanks every1

If you had to create an ideal setlist with Lana's very BEST live performances, what would it be? Feel free to mix years, venues, and anything else-- I haven't watched many of Lana's live performances (aside from the Lizzy years), so I want to see what you guys come up with!

Got interested and read this thread today, along with the 'Lana Sleuthing' one-- there's a a few things I noticed/plus some questions I still have. Some of these probably (most likely) can't be answered, but I'd like to raise them anyway, as I haven't seen them yet: I hope most of this isn't redundant! I know there's only so much that can be gleaned from these screenshots, so most of my questions can't be definitively answered, but I'd love to hear any ideas.

Just finished reading through this thread-- the work you all do is staggering! It's so great to hear so much of this info, and I think it would be absolutely interesting to create a timeline of both proven and speculated events in the fabled life of Lizzy Grant Does anyone have an archived copy of this article ^? I've tried the Internet Archive, but to no avail. Also, did anyone ever make any headway regarding this information? What exactly does this imply/mean?

hey @@Elle, have you updated this with the newer leaks by any chance? I'm finally about to do the unreleased ranker and was wondering

as anyone who knows me can guess, i would be all here for a full-circle collab between lana and david kahne-- after the sameness i perceived in the HM tracks, i would love to see lana return to david's production that worked so well on AKA-- tailored to now suit a more mature lana.

is the second version of 'tv in black and white' fake? i've heard it was just a remix, but i really don't want to believe that bc it was so much better

yesssssssss! i stan for bowie as hard (or harder) than lana. i've been listening to 'low' a lot lately-- 'sound and vision' especially has been running thru my brain all week

queen of petting dogs

what are some alternate titles for lana's albums? i know AKA was also called "Nevada" and I remember there being a few alt. titles for BtD, as well

Since Super Movie and Dance for Money have both been crossed off my list (never thought I would say that), it's time I make a new one-- I'm including other stuff besides songs that I want to leak: 1. STEVEN MERTENS AKA 2. HOMEMADE VIDEOS/LIVE VIDEOS 3. RUBY TUESDAY 4. DAVID KAHNE-PRODUCED TRACKS (LEMONADE MOTORCYCLE HEAVEN, COCONUT & KEY LIME PIE, BOUNCE, etc.) 5. RESISTANCE 6. ANY LIZZY SONGS FROM 2005-2009 7. MORE INFO ON AKA (ESP. ABOUT ORIGINAL TRACKLIST)

same!!! i was just watching one of the gramma vids this morning bc i needed a boost

my list keeps getting smaller and smaller. . .. . . . . i'm so happy

I did the released version, and it was almost perfectly accurate! The only issue was that for some reason, TLY and FK ended up near the very bottom, despite them being two of my favorites. Anyway, here's my top 25:

Honeymoon - 21 Music to Watch Boys To - 23 Terrence Loves You - 23 God Knows I Tried - 17 Art Deco - 22 Religion - 22 Salvatore - 18 The Blackest Day - 24 24 - 5 Swan Song - 21

Thank you SO much for creating this! I'll definitely do it in a bit Little Carmen is the acapella demo of Carmen

Honeymoon - 22 Music To Watch Boys To - 21 Terrence Loves You - 23 God Knows I Tried - 17 Art Deco - 22 Religion - 22 Salvatore - 18 The Blackest Day - 22 24 - 8 Swan Song - 21

I don't care who else's threads get the porn treatment, but don't you dare disgrace the name of Lana Del Ray a.k.a. Lizzy Grant with your basic, bland, white dudes that you can't even be bothered to post in quality high enough to see more than some blurry af pixels... disgusting

Here's a fun question: Had AKA been successful, what unreleased tracks do you think would've been used for a follow-up album?

I finally found a Lana ranker-- not the same one (and apparently not as thorough as Moy's, since it hasn't been updated for HM and also doesn't include most unreleased-- it does have Sirens, tho), but pretty cool nonetheless: http://jesseepinkman.tumblr.com/lanadelreysong My ranking is pretty spot on-- I left out the last 10, because they're all either Sirens tracks or bonus tracks I haven't listened to all that much. Anyway, here goes: All in all, pretty accurate-- there's a few I would place a little higher, but it's good for the most part! I would love to see this with HM and unreleased included

who is lana del rey? ?? lizzy grant who? ? ? ? the good sis Kali Uchis is all that matters to me now thanks to the good heaux @@Bekim for posting lottery, bc i listened to it and got hooked and then listened to por vida and got even more hooked and now i'm obsessed sis Kali is like the perfect marriage of lana, little jackie, 60s girl groups, and some like 90s TLC-type music and i am SHOOK now i've gotta catch up on all her other music before this album drops

I agree wholeheartedly! <3 I think this album (and the people who worked on it, including David Nichtern!) have never received their due. So, I was so happy to be able to start this thread, so as you said, we could coherently gather information and spread the love for AKA! Also, kudos for finding that article! It's certainly one of the most informative out there about this period in Lana's history. You're too sweet I agree too about AKA's artwork-- while I've grown to love it in association with the album, it was not executed well at all. Even Kill Kill's artwork, while not perfect, looks a lot more inviting and evocative of the music than AKA's. Honestly, despite only being released 6 yeas ago, I think AKA was a bit ahead of its time in some respects. Lana was definitely making music that was hard to define, but with more genre-hopping mainstream artists these days (think Marina & the Diamonds or Melanie Martinez, whom I often see grouped in the same circles as Lana), AKA could be better marketed and received if it were released today, imo.

I don't know if this is the right thread for this, (and sorry for double-posting!) but has the theory ever been raised that Lana took her name from Delray Beach in Florida? We all know Florida is a favorite place of Lizzy's, and I found this article about T.R.A.F.F.I.C. that mentions that the first T.R.A.F.F.I.C. conference was held in 2004 at Delray Beach: http://www.dnjournal.com/cover/2014/september-october.htm This has probably been mentioned, but still thought it was pretty cool

Yeah, the MTV article is the probably the definitive article on AKA to read, especially since David Nichtern is interviewed and has a lot of first-hand insight on Lizzy and the recording of the album. I definitely agree about the album probably selling few copies, which is kind of unusual due to the push it got from Amazon and iTunes, you know?

I've only recently started listening to their music, due to my brother stanning them, so I really only know stuff from Blurryface well (#fakefan ) but their music is so good and has such a unique sound and very REAL lyrics and they're both beautiful, so slay a lot
