Little witches, join me at midnight London Time // 7pm EST 
Get a paper, write 'Creep' on it. With a red marker.
Get your cauldron with hot water. Put rosemary & thyme and some ruined peaches and then put the paper that has 'Creep' on it.
Then chant the chorus of Get Free while you stream it on Spotify.
 
Oh, and only black outfits are allowed.
 

Okay so as some of you know, I'm studying to be a lawyer and this is what I know:
 
Chord progressions are not protected under the law because they are generally universal products and easy to copy -- it's like if Hershey or Toblerone said that they were the only manufacturers allowed to make chocolate. Radiohead can't sue based on chord progressions. Musical theorists have a saying that "everything is a remix." It's impossible to make a song that has no echo of a past song. The legal standard for copyright infringement is "substantial similarity" which is a relatively hard test to prove. Radiohead's attorneys need to prove that the songs are substantially similar in order to win, if they are going for copyright infringement, which is a lot harder than just proving that the songs are "similar." "Substantial" is the key word. Wasn't Radiohead sued by The Hollies for this song? And they lost? If so, this gives them very unsteady legal ground to stand on. I'll update as I think of more.
 
Update: also, intent doesn't matter much in the context of copyright infringement; whether Lana/Nowels etc. intended (meant) to copy Creep is irrelevant. If the court finds that she did, in fact, copy the song then it won't matter if it was a mistake or not.

I think this all plays into a very sad, recent trend of older musicians filing frivolous lawsuits against younger, current musicians. It's been happening so much recently and I think it's really discouraging to see how desperate and vicious older acts are when the opportunity to monetize. Current artists grow up listening to these songs and it's only natural that some of that would come out in certain melodies that sound similar. Thom Yorke is extremely financially secure, in no way does he need (nor deserve) 100%. I think it's such a dangerous artistic prescient to be setting restricting artistic expression.

If any of you are going do your fav bi-cis gal pal a favor; 
 
When she asks for a fan request scream out any LfL outtake, even if it's like Wild One- or Heroin if she doesn't do it. On the flipside(buy ultraviolence on iTunes) if the person next to you asks for a boring ass song or trash like SS, UV, OttR, or even Cruel World- knock them out and tell the guards they had heat stroke. 
 
Thank you.

Everyone will be bald if she sings Get Free tonight. even though it's most likely not happening

Entirely non-revolutionary Ultraviolence edit. Lighter font and different composition

I saw on Twitter that some girl's uncle that works at the hotel Lana was staying at ran into Lana. She posted a picture of their text conversation on Twitter and it reads:
"I bumped into Lana Del Ray this morning in the elevator. She wasn't wearing any shoes. She's teeny tiny."
 
Lana not wearing shoes in a hotel elevator is the most Lana Del Rey thing I've ever heard. Very her.

Her hair last night reminded me of this

HER STAR SHAPED BOBBY PINS OH MY GOD 
 

 
QUEEN OF SPACE

Here's a picture of the actual setlist. It looks like Ultraviolence was to be considered all along. Serial Killer wasn't planned, so probably the true fan request. She also changed up the order between Ride all the way to the end. Also, I think it's so cute that they printed the cherry emoji on the setlist by Cherry.

 
 
 
Also, I updated the OP to include the final setlist as well as a Photo Gallery including professional photos, fan photos, and selfies!

But on a serious note, your picks were some of my favorites ESPECIALLY #5, the natural face w the water or serum drops had me jaw dropped as to how gorgeous she looked. It's honestly so weird how she can look so young and so reminiscent towards BtD/Paradise/Ultraviolence and then days after she looks so different like she got work but she didnt- not meant to be tasteless it's just wild how she can apparently turn her youth button on at will
 
Out of your list I loved these looks the most (4, 5, 8, 12, 15, 16 ,and 23. In which she has SUCH BtD face it's insane, we forsure know she could look the exact same if she made an effort to recreate some looks) however to me her most iconic one was from her birthday (even though it's the black shirt/blue jeans) where her hands are up, multiple phones are visible, tiara in hair- and she looks like the bitchiest but yet most fun and down to earth 19 y/o you've ever SEEN
 
 
 

Now that 2017 has come to a close and 2018 has begun, I thought it would be fun to reflect on some of our favourite Lana looks of 2017! Because I'm extra, I chose a top 25, with 1 being my most favourite & so on. I put photos in the spoiler so it doesn't clog up the thread. 
I'm interested to see what looks of Lana's you all enjoyed the most from 2017!
 
 
 
1. April 20 - Dazed Magazine
The date isn't accurate since we don't know when the photoshoot was, but I just put the date of the magazine release. This is definitely my favourite look of 2017 (as evident by the site theme) Her hair was glorious. Very BTD-esque. Her makeup looked great here too. All of the shots from this photoshoot were amazing.
 
 
 
2. May 3rd - V Magazine
The iconic bouffant! I was so excited to see it return. Her makeup was absolutely stunning too. One of her best looks, ever.
 
 
   
3. August 12 - Way Out West Festival
Again, love her hair. The dress also remind me of the vintage dresses she would wear during her 2014 American leg of the Paradise tour. I ended up snagging this dress for myself too.
 
 
 
4. August 11 - Flow Fest
I know a lot of people weren't crazy about this look, but I really loved it. I thought the skirt was super cute and thought it was trendy that she paired it with an oversized sweatshirt (even if it is Adidas.) Also, the red flower in her hair paired with her berry lip completely make the outfit.
 
 
 
5. May 11 - on Instagram
I wish we had pictures from this day since this was just from her Instagram story, but OH MY GOD this post will forever be an iconic video. Her beachy hair and her natural beauty are incredible.
 
 
 
6. September 8 - Santa Barbara Bowl
This dress was super cute. Her hair was gorgeous as well. She was very smiley this day, and everyone knows that a smile is one's best accessory.
 
 
 
7. August 1 - House of Blues, Anaheim
Out of all the black long sleeved shirt & jeans looks she did this year, this one was the best executed. The shoes were super cute (I just bought a pair for myself the other day) and the flower in her hair is everything. I also love the soft waves in her hair on this day. Kudos to Anne!
 
 
 
8. July 26 - Amoeba
This was my second favourite black&jeans look of the year. I'm not sure if it was just because she was at Amoeba again or what, but she truly looked straight out of 2011/2012. Her face looked so young here - I'm thinking a pairing between her makeup this day and, again, how smiley she was. I also liked how her hair was pulled back out of her pretty face.
 
 
 
9. December 17 - Melrose Trading Post
I feel like this will be a popular favourite. Despite another repeat outfit, her hair looked so gorgeous this day not terribly long after the big chop & her eyelashes are INCREDIBLE! I'm calling Pammy up right now to see what lashes she has Lana using.
 
 
 
10. July 24 - Candid in London
I remember seeing this photo and thinking it could have easily been straight out of July 2012. Her face and her hair scream BTD era. She ended up performing a concert later this day (I attended it and it was the day I finally met Lana yay) but by that time her hair had fallen a bit and she changed into one of her infamous black shirts lol. So the look from earlier in the day wins!
 
 
 
11. April 30 - Candid at a Beach House in Malibu
Similar to the look above, I saw this post on instagram and thought it was a throwback post from around September 2014. I'm serious. Then when everyone started posting it, I realised it was from that day. I was shaken to the core. Even though it's a natural look, she looked amazing.
 
 
 
12. June 30 - Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel
This reminded me so much of her 2011 Grasslands performance look, and I loved the throwback. (as you can tell, I love throwback looks.)
 
 
 
13. March 16 - Candid on a Beach in Malibu
This was another day full of iconic candids paired with an iconic look. Her dress was super cute and her hair looked nice too.
 
 
 
14. May 9 - Elle Magazine
Again, the date is incorrect, but I just put the date of the first time this shoot was spoken of. She looked really gorgeous during this shoot. The photo I'm putting in the spoiler is one of my favourite photos of the year.
 
 
 
15. November 14 - Manager Awards
This look reminded me so much of her 2013 Brit Awards look. The dress was perfect for her and her hair was styled beautifully. I prefer this look to the EMA look, which was the day before. 
 
 
 
16. March 20 - Instagram
I was instantly hit with April 2014 nostalgia when I saw this instagram post. From her hair to her makeup, she looked straight out of the Ultraviolence era. Also, this is when she first teased Yosemite with her shirt... iconic.
 
 
 
17. August 19 - Krakow Live Festival
This dress!! Omg!! I also snagged this dress for myself. It's super cute. I also liked how she styled her hair this day, it was so unique. Even though the eyeliner was an interesting choice, she still pulled it off well.
 
 
 
18. April 6 - Flaunt Magazine
I'm so sad this is the only photo we have of this look, because it looks amazing. I can imagine that professional photos would make it even more amazing. Lana as a bride? Can we get any more iconic here??
 
 
 
19. March 27 - Grazia BTS
This has got to be one of her best selfies of 2017. I've always thought that light pinks look beautiful on her.
 
 
 
20. - October 23 - Terminal 5 NYC
When I saw her step out on stage this night, I was shaken. Again, despite the same black&jeans look, this was another one that was styled nicely. The top was really cute & different from what she had been wearing. I really liked the neckline. Her jewelry was also gorgeous.. that choker though!! Wow! I also appreciated the volume in her hair after the big chop.
 
 
 
21. January 28 - Candid in LA
This was the first look to leave me shaken in 2017. Her hair. Enough said.
 
 
 
22. September 22 - on Instagram
She looked so sweet on this day. I wish we had photos from it. Whatever top or dress she's wearing looks adorable & I love the way her hair is styled.
 
 
 
23. June 18 - Leaving the Nice Guy lounge
Her dress paired with that sweater is just precious. & her hair was a nice change this night.
 
 
 
24. September 11 - Hollywood Troubadour 
Another natural, yet gorgeous look. Her makeup was simple, yet gorgeous. Also... teasing us with that LFL windbreaker before we even knew what it was!
 
 
 
25. July 22 - Airport in France
Who else could make walking in an airport look like a runway? Yes, the outfit is tired, but her makeup was amazing this day. 
 
 

My show! I'm so excited 

i don't recall ever reading this in the lanalysis thread -- in one of the handful of blog posts Chris C did on Lizzy, he shared screenshots of their messages and a poem she commented on:
 



 
the blog is pretty telling. Chris was married w/kids, but talking to Lizzy and another girl named Sarah online. looks like he ended up meeting Sarah, but never met Lizzy before things dissolved. he also seems to suggest that Lizzy didn't really harbor the same feelings for him that he had for her, and he regarded her as more of a muse than a lover
 



 
also, sorry if this has already been shared! it was very new to me

~ only true may jailer stans will get this ~
