  1. the best Lana playlist i've made so far is my 'Noir' playlist which is all 2010 songs-- the flow is sooooo good so perfect
  2. Is it known what order the tracks in the "Disco" session were recorded in? I'd love to be able to listen to the session as it was originally recorded
  3. I know I posted my own iTunes library pretty recently, but I rearranged all of my unreleased albums so they play as albums much more smoothly and cohesively (look out, I'm a wannabe @@SitarHero ): Methamphetamines (2006/7): Pin Up Galore (2006/7): Lizzy Grant: Live (2006-2009): Motel 6 (2009): Dum Dum (2010): Noir (2010): Us Against the World (2010): Velvet Crowbar (2010): Back to tha Basics (2011): Queen of Disaster (2011): Starry Eyed (2012-2014): Life is Beautiful (2015/16): I hope everyone enjoys these! Any suggestions on sequencing, covers, or anything else (including comments on my ratings for the songs-- drag me pls) are welcome and I'd love to hear them!

  5. Two questions about 'Methamphetamines': -I've heard that the video for 'Methamphetamines' was originally posted under a different title. Is that true, and if so, what was it? -I've also read that the video was posted in 2008. If that's true, why do I often see 'Methamphetamines' listed as being from 2006?
  6. So, after a lot of struggling with it, I finally got all of Lana's unreleased stuff the way I wanted it: Look in the spoiler below for tracklists for the albums: I don't know if anyone else will understand the albums/tracklists I've made (or with what vision I made them,) but I enjoy them and maybe you all will too!
  7. inb4 it's a new video for 'video games' feat. the underwater girls and about 10 seconds of new footage
  8. Can someone help me figure out the years for these demos please, or direct me to a thread for it? I've tried using the Lana wiki for it, but it's hard to find years there for demos. Thanks!
  9. Is "Head Rush" an official alternate title for "True Love on the Side", or is it fanmade/speculated?
  10. Y'all scare me-- I don't think I've ever been in a car going faster than 70 (and that felt like breakneck speed)
  11. I relate to Lana on a much simpler level than a lot of you, but I think I'll still post it here-- also, kudos to everyone who shared on this thread (especially those who were so brutally honest about themselves! That's not easy ) The aesthetics of Lana's music and visuals are what initially drew me into her music, and are likely what have held me the most fascinated-- like Lana (and especially Lizzy!) I've always been fascinated (read: obsessed) with kitsch, Americana, and white-trash living-- probably why songs like Trash Magic and Pin-Up Galore rank among my favorites. Maybe it was growing up in a mobile home (in the American South, no less) that gave me this fixation, and so I connect very deeply with the images that run through her early work. I don't think it's any coincidence that trailer-trash Lizzy is my favorite era of Lana's work, and that the happiest time in my life was when I lived in a trailer that we decorated up with Christmas lights year-round. (No kidding-- looking back, we also had a hallway we called the "Florida hall" because it was so beach-kitsch-- and it looked straight out of a Lizzy vid-- teal walls, curtains with palm trees and flamingos all over it-- the works.) So, videos like the ones for 'Gramma' give me an almost painful sense of nostalgia, not only for the times when I lived like she did, but also for a time I'll never get to live in-- the same idealised, past world that Lana has written about-- one where JFK is still king, the open road is still alive, and motels still have their own seedy glamour, among other things. Maybe it all sounds pretentious, but I am so genuinely happy that Lana has recorded and created such a wealth of material that speaks to me on such a personal level. Do any of you connect to these aesthetics and visuals the same way? (If so, hit me up, because we're moving into the nearest trailer park ASAP ) Now, y'all better start leaking some more 2007/8 Lizzy for me after this heartfelt piece of work-- I need white-trash Lana in my life
  12. this season was the best yet, definitely, but also the darkest and most emotionally devastating.
  13. Video Games - 28 West Coast - 52 Shades Of Cool - 35 Brooklyn Baby - 42

  16. @@National Anthem do you have her demos and home recordings? The '73 and '76 demos are like Kate's version of Sirens-- stripped down piano (in this case) tracks that are simple, but they all have really great concepts and stories, plus there's some really interesting early versions of later songs. (btw, if anyone can direct me to hq versions of the tracks NA is looking for too, I'd be much obliged-- "Passing Through Air" especially )
  17. Had Lana's hard drive or whatever never been hacked, which unreleased songs would we still have? I know some tracks came from her Myspace, some from producers' websites, etc.
  18. I don't really agree, but I'm totally cool with that viewpoint. I think Lana's performance at the festival was great (from the lq vids I've seen), but I think it's fine to think otherwise as long as you're not catty and hateful about it.
  19. I'm honestly amazed that so many people here talk so much trash about Lana to be "fans" of hers. I get that she's not perfect, and it's totally okay to critique her, but a lot of you all seem to take this authoritative tone with it. @@Flipflopfan, I'm sorry, but your post really rubbed me the wrong way for those reasons-- why can't everyone be thankful she's performing, instead of being petty and saying she has "no excuses"-- uh, I think she has a perfectly good excuse, and it's that SHE'S the artist and WE'RE the fans-- it's her show, and I don't think she needs us to tell her what she's doing wrong. Critique her, express your disappointments, but don't be a jerk about it. Remember that she's an artist, and instead of always assuming that she's lazy or giving up, perhaps think that maybe this is just what she WANTS to do right now. Only Lana understands her own motivations and choices, and perhaps we all need to take a step back and remember that.
  20. Thanks! And, yeah, I've read (on Lanapedia, for example) that Is It Wrong is alternately registered as just Wrong, but I can't find that alternate title on either BMI or the Harry Fox Agency, so any receipts from anyone would help! Thanks for telling me! It's one of my favorite covers-- do you know if he has done any others, and if so, where could I find them?
  21. @, here's what I've found/assumed/speculated (hopefully, more knowledgeable members can expand on or correct this): -the track we know as "Trash Magic" was listed on Lana's Myspace as "Miss America". However, in gig reviews, it was referred to as "Trash Magic" and Lana herself referred to it in a Youtube comment as both "Trash Magic" and "Miss America". Therefore, "Trash Magic" is probably the title to go with, as it's supported by gig reviews and Lana herself. -"Puppy Love"/"Marilyn Monroe" is totally up to your discretion, I'd say. It's registered as "Marilyn Monroe", with "Puppy Love" as an alternate title. It may be worth saying, though, that Lana referred to it as "Puppy Love" in a Facebook post, so I'd personally go with "Marilyn Monroe (Puppy Love)" as the title. -The demo of "Maha Maha" was built around an instrumental by Princess Superstar called "Bollywood Hawaii in Space" and leaked as "Bollywood Hawaii"-- so, "Bollywood Hawaii" is probably the name to go with. -"Is It Wrong" is registered as "Is It Wrong" with BMI, but as "Is It Wrong?" with the Harry Fox Agency, so either is valid. Personally, I'd probably take the BMI title of "Is It Wrong", but that's just me. -No clue on "Hit & Run". -The demo of "Hundred Dollar Bill" was leaked as "C-Note", I'm pretty sure. The 4:01 version is the final, titled "Hundred Dollar Bill". (also interesting to note that Lana, performing at the Slipper Room in 2009, referred to the song as "Nothing More Gorgeous Than a Hundred Dollar Bill".) Hope this helps!
  22. The performance of "Little Girls/Put Me in a Movie" at the Mercury Lounge is stellar. I think it definitely may be one of my favorite Lana moments ever when she slips into a higher register during that performance and sings the: "Lights, camera, action/He didn't know he'd have this much fun"-- and I wish I knew the term for this, but she sings those lines differently and it gives me chills. That, and when she sings the "come on, you know you like little girls" at about 1:51, it's otherworldly.
