    You included my all-time favorite song (These Days)! Plus, you also included a ton of my favorite artists (Kate, Lana [obvs.], Lesley Gore, Fleetwood Mac, Shangri-Las, Tori, Janelle, and sooooo many more I love!) 

     

    (and o h m y g o d  you included "Wonderful Summer" and I s2g I thought I was one of the only people who knew about that song-- I can't even handle how great this list is!)

    This may have been mentioned before, but what do we know about Lana's relationship with Aaron Peer, who made and starred in the short film "Poolside" with her? It struck me that his character is called "Ray" in the film-- at first, I dismissed it as coincidence or perhaps creative input from Lana, but come to think of it, could Ray be a nickname for someone named Aaron? My brother's name is Aaron, and I can't help but think of the way our southern great-grandmother prounounced it-- "Ay-ron"-- which in turn reminds me of Ray.

     

    This is a big stretch, of course, but perhaps it would be an interesting avenue to explore-- if Aaron Peer was indeed the "Ray" Lana has sung about (and even apparently named herself after), this could be the first step in unlocking some big mysteries. 

     

    Just a thought!

    I don't know if this is the right thread for this or not, but I wanted to say this somewhere (and my status isn't enough room)

     

    I was re-watching this performance of "Video Games": 

     

     

    Seeing Lana break down and cry like that gave me so many feelings. Despite the fact that this heaux has made a lot of artistic decisions I don't care for, and doesn't always do the things I wish she did, I am so proud of her, and I feel like I can't criticize too harshly, because she has worked so hard to get to this point. I bet the girl who was drinking and hangin' around in Lake Placid, or the girl who wrote songs in her trailer in New Jersey, or the girl who played songwriters' competitions and local clubs never, ever thought she'd reach this point. When she was singing "you're gonna love me, I'm gonna make you," did she know how true that was going to be? Did she know she would cover magazines and perform at festivals and have crowds and crowds of people cheering her name? When she took the stage for the first time and sang, did she know what was to come? Thinking about all of this is what makes me love her so much more. She's not perfect, she's certainly flawed-- but she is living her dream and I am so happy for her. I wish the Lizzy Grant of ten-or-so years ago could look forward to now and see what she's become-- I think she wouldn't believe it. Even if her music were to go down the drain, I'll always believe in the artist Lana Del Rey is, and forever be proud of her for having a dream and seeing it through.  :flutter:

     

    Quoting my own post to add this incredible video: 

     

     

    The perfect addendum to my post-- this completely sums it up. I'm so proud of her  :blush:

    Forgot to mention, tomorrow is Leonardo Dicaprio's Gala thing, Lana is gonna perform..

    I'll try to update on that on the existing thread for the event..

     

    Sidenote: I know my coverage of this show is a bit messy and I tend to edit a lot so I hope it wasn't troublesome 

    I'll try to improve next time :heart:

     

    You've done great coverage, thank you! I'm loving all of the pictures and video you've been able to find.

    Are you using photoshop?

     

    Nope, unfortunately. I'm using Pixlr online editor, which kind of sucks/has really confusing controls, but my computer is hella slow, so 

     

     

    i think it'd look nice as a cover for Gramma

     

    Ooh, you're right! The trailer screenshot is from one of the Gramma videos, so that would work!

     

    um i love it

     

    I can't read sarcasm so I really hope this is serious bc you are my hero oml  :toofunny:

    so, I've never done any sort of graphic design work-- go easy on me! -- but I decided to try out a technique our dear @@Trash Magic uses (with much less success than he :creep:), and made a few variant covers for "Methamphetamines" using a screencap from the video:

     

     

     

     Methamphetamines_Done_1.jpgMethamphetamines_Done_2.jpgMethamphetamines_Done_3.jpgMethamphetamines_Done_4.jpg

     

     

    I'm far from satisfied with the finished product, but it's a step in the right direction, I think! I'll take requests, too-- even if the covers don't turn out great, I need the practice  :D

     

    (also, what photo editing program do y'all suggest? I'm using Pixlr online right now  :toofunny:)
