you do?? i'm sad to say that i still ship carrie and brody i mean, they have a real connection and i feel carrie is the only one who really knows the actual brody...as carrie said at the end of episode 4, in another world and different circumstances, they could've been together *sigh* i think this gif is so carrie-appropriate:

hey! preach! i still very occasionally log on, but it's a far cry from the heyday of sasha, freja, gemma, snejana, vlada, milagros, natasha, and my dear heather bratton (R.I.P.) p.s. love you joanna pic, btw :love:

i am up to date and god, i love "homeland" so much! unlike others, this show does not dissapoint. what is going to happen??!!! apart from the unpredictablity of everything, claire danes and damian lewis are such amazing actors! wasn't episode 5 a master class in theater? ♥

coney island king, this was already posted a long time ago (by me): http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/508-lana-meets-fans-in-melbourne/ still, it's always nice to re-watch and remember what a sweetheart lana is - i hope we all get to meet her some day

i mean it - i hope you record more, be it lana songs, or your own songs. did you read what monicker wrote? http://lanaboards.co...ver/#entry22054 - words to live by, true punk philosphy. experiment. sing. write. record. your voice has such a vulnerable quality and such a beautiful tone (to use a word lana likes ) in these tough times, music is such a wonderful outlet, and through sonic catharsis you can express your feelings and exorcize the demons and feel better, and in sharing what you create (be it your own material or your interpretation of others' work) you can connect with others, too ♥

maru, i agree with you 100%! if she hadn't been a model, signed to an agency, we would not be questoning this - as she would have no obligation as a singer to be good in front of the camera - but she was, unexplainably. in the real fashion world, her modeling abilities would have led her no further than a seventeen magazine prom photoshoot - heck, she wouldn't have made it into the top 10 of "america's next top model"! cute doesn't cut it. i was a fashion spot forum addict from 2006-2010 and have hundreds of editorials saved, as well as photographer portfolios, and not even paolo roversi could've made her into a model. in pictures, she doesn't convey anything through her eyes (in motion, she does). once again, if she didn't continue to "model" this wouldn't even be an issue, but the fact is - save for a few shots - she can't model to save her life. be objective, people! i save all her photos because i adore her as an artist and what i know of her as an individual, but not because of the great poses and "haute" quality of her shots.

myriiiam, oh my god! i just now listened to your cover of "yayo" - so, so beautiful! ♥ it's one of my favorite songs and you did it lizzy grant justice! please don't stop singing, you have talent and emotion...thank you for sharing this with us!

"i'm your national anthem: self-affirmation through patriotism"

my bad, it was one of her youtube accounts, not twitter

correct me if i'm wrong, of course.

seriously, her managers ben and ed and no chuck??? wtf?

minus a few exceptions, they chose simple, unrevealing and kind of crappy questions i mean, two questions about the mulberry bag?? o_O and "will you be present at the VMAs?" blah! i mean, it was obvious they wouldn't select the more uncomfortable queries, but their choices were pretty disappointing. one good thing: i've had "the big sleep" in the backburner for some time now, but now it's next on my watch list!

regarding real self help books, i think lana may have read bruce lipton's "the biology of belief": http://www.brucelipton.com/flipbook/biology-belief#/page/3 her "let's change our DNA" from "heavy hitter" leads me to think so ^_^

"I would wait a million years: How to love a man imprisoned" or (in the same vein): "I will love you 'til the end of time: a guide to coping with loving a man on death row"

this thread is amazing! "Elvis is my daddy, Marilyn’s my mother: A guide to reinvention through creative transcedence of your origins" "I can't be with the man I love (if he treats me rough): How to free yourself of an abusive relationship"

i totally agree! 100%. here, people aren't groveling for leaks, we all appreciate listening to and discussing her released and unreleased music yet are more respectful and aware, i think. i also love that everyone can feel free to start new threads, which range from fun to thoughtful (many times both). i guess this relates to a certain feeling of democracy in this community, and i love it

i love la roux and i miss them! i remember on twitter that elly said she'd try singing with a "different voice" (i'm thinking in a lower register) for the new album, but -after listening to that lounge version of "in the kill" - i hope not. i adore her high singing

that's usually true, but lana herself has said that her music is "100% autobiographical", which of course feeds our speculation. if she didn't throw clues around (and if she weren't so fascinating and hadn't lived such a full life) we wouldn't feel so compelled to try to piece together stories and people and associate them to her lyrics! bear in mind that some theories have been somewhat confirmed, while others are in the air or maybe just fantasies.

likewise, maru! not only can you be the boss, you ARE the boss! :love:

i'd still be here because i love lana and because this forum is full of awesome, funny, intelligent people from all over who post not only about about miss del rey - sharing their found material/interviews/videos/photos/news and giving their honest opinions - but also discuss so many interesting topics and issues, and the views are so diverse and enlightening! and, of course, apart from the profound analysis and the critical thought, i appreciate the brilliant wit and the laughs also, in this generous community, you really can rely on the kindness of strangers! regarding if the leaks stopped, of course i'd still be a fan - i mean, i love fiona apple so much, and we get an album from her every 6 or 7 years! but i don't know if i'd be such a huge fan if we didn't have AKA and so many of the unreleased songs, tbh - her wonderful & eclectic creative output is what made me adore her and realize what a special talent she is. BTD is a great album but it doesn't display all that she is capable of musically, lyrically and vocally. i do think that all of us in some way wanted more because why did we join LDR.FM in the first place? because they teased with gifs from the "million dollar man" video! no one can deny that lured us in. of course, i never would've thought i'd meet such great people on the forum, and that - along with the promise of lost lizzy songs and videos - is what kept me there, and now here. that's one thing, because all those old songs and videos were things lizzy once shared publicly, so even if it was for a short period of time, it was out there and there were people who liked the stuff enough to save it and keep it, and now share it with others who were not as fortunate to have known about her before. it's another thing to be getting all of these more recent recordings, which obviously she did not share and that, in my humble opinion, are not really as top-notch quality as the rest of her oeuvre. so, while my curiosity can't help but want to listen, i think it can be detrimental, in a way. the quanity-over-quality deluge kind of distorts the message she may have as an artist (though i respect her criteria, i don't know if it's completely kindred to mine - she said she wasn't happy with "yayo"! - which takes me back to wanting to hear her other, less-favorite creations, because i doubt her judgment, but ultimately, you gotta trust her instincts). it would be nice if we were still in the B-side times, where the not-quite-album material gems could be published also, people are animals of habit and always want more more more, regardless, so they'll never be satisfied. i think we all need some space, or a sort of void, to pause and be replenished and then go back, fresh, to appreciate the things (in this case, the music) we have. at some point it WILL stop, and the real fans, those of us who enjoy her and have been truly moved by her art, will remain ♥

so beautiful and haunting!

Harlem, you are a doll and a saint! Guys, I figured out how to use the d/l links on the meth sunrise tumblr: type the URL www.mediafire.com/? (with the question mark) and then copy and add the rest of the code (the non-clickable part) this has been overwhelming, y'all! so much to process and enjoy! ♥

praise thee, evilentity, you are a master detective!!!! i think it's pretty obvious that in the daily star interview she changed the teacher's gender because she was starting to be well-known, whereas in the repeat fanzine interview she was more open because she didn't think many people would pay attention - and much less analyze every minute detail - of what she shared. thank you, evil!

yes! i think that, unlike most artists who need to feel sad or angry or depressed to write, lana can write happy(ish): think of "on our way" and "never let me go", or even "yayo" (although it's a bit more of a melancholy joy). of course some people, when truly content, no longer feel the need for creative catharsis. let's hope that's not the case for our dear lizzy lana! but above all, i want her to be happy ♥ may karma give back what she lost and repair the damage of the hatewave!

"video games" IS the song of the year. it will win!
