imagine driving through LA and then getting rear ended by lana because she was filming while driving

I love how she literally deleted the happy birtday grandma one after ~3~ hours lol

THE EARTH SHATTERED, THE SKY OPENED
THE RAIN WAS FIRE, BUT WE WERE WOODEN

Mermaid Motel - GODLY and probably her best demo imo but i love both versions so much for their totally distinct vibes
Lucky Ones and Without You - both WAY preferable to the finals, which ended up totally overproduced
Money Power Glory - demo is much more listenable than the final to me
 
honorable mentions are the Lolita demos (song sucks in general but the demos are slightly better), National Anthem demos (not I Want It All tho, she can choke), Mertens' Brite Lites, and probably the rest of the UV demos if we ever hear them 

i have a love for it now, but only because i'm so used to it -- otherwise, AKA deserved a MUCH better and more dynamic cover
 
even the kill kill EP cover is miles better: 
 

having an @@annedauphine moment after that livestream like...

LUST FOR LIFE - NEIL KRUG VISION


 

Thank you!!!!

Yves Tumor- “Faith in Nothing except Salvation”

I believe that's the implication-- there's still an existing version! Which doesn't surprise me, with all the unleaked Kahne tracks: Lemonade Motorcycle Heaven, Ben, Bounce, Coconut and Keylime Pie, etc. I bet a lot of the tracks have similar sounds to AKA, which is so exciting! 

I've been pondering something...
 
Despite a lack of information surrounding the "No Kung Fu" EP, it's been said that it was a "demo tape" of sorts, that ended up catching the attention of David Kahne, yes? So, if this is true, this would obviously mean that the No Kung Fu tracks are *not* Kahne productions. So, it could be speculated that the producer of No Kung Fu could be Steven Mertens, as he was a producer working with Lana at the time, and produced an early version of the album that became AKA-- we know that the No Kung Fu tracks are likely not from his finished version of the album, however, since there are snippets of a Mertens-produced "Brite Lites" floating around. 
 
The wrench in this theory is this: "Ruby", the demo of "Put Me in a Movie" featured on NKF (which is also notably more produced/polished than the other NKF tracks), also appears on a CD burned by Lana c. 2008, after she'd begun working with David Kahne. So, this brings to mind several theories:
 
1. No Kung Fu was not a "demo tape", and was produced with David Kahne after Mertens' AKA was scrapped. 
2. "Ruby" was a holdover from the Mertens sessions, and Lana (being Lana), still enjoyed it, including it on a CD with Kahne-produced tracks.
3. No Kung Fu is a fanmade EP, with mostly Mertens tracks and one Kahne track slipped in, from a different session.
4. No Kung Fu is Mertens production, and "Ruby" is noticeably more produced because it comes from his finished version of the album. 
 
It would help to know what we know about NKF... When did it leak? Who leaked it? What information was with it when it leaked? Do we have any definite, concrete info on it?
 
So many questions I'd love to hear any insight/ideas y'all have on this! 
 
Leave it to Lana to leave her past "stranger than a stranger" for us to decipher 

he never released the whole thing!!! he only said that FKP2 was track 1, Kill Kill was track 9, and Mermaid Motel was track 13  
 
i'm dying to know the rest!!!! i feel like that tracklist is the one the album would've had if it were released in '09 like originally planned, so it's kind of a headscratcher as to why they switched it up

exactly   you said that so well
i love this album so much -- it's really hard to ever find the words for it and the impact its had on me!!!!!! it's defo such an anomaly just in general that it's so hard to classify/compare/describe it

I'm sensing some negativity, no? Let's keep this civil and on-topic, okay?

I did this while I was bored.

Enjoy.
