I was NOT ready to know Jimmy is an NFR demo 

Where did he say this? I skimmed through all 3 links but didn't catch this

Part 3, he starts talking about it at around 02:00.

The second variation of Jimmy being for NFR! was unexpected. I wonder if there are other Jimmy’s out there too. 

[Trash Magic 27,337]

Omg... SUPER interesting. Everybody needs to put some respect on Jack's name IMMEDIATELY for campaigning for Jimmy to she the light of day

[Billie 911]

Does he play the original version of Jimmy at some point in Part 3?

I also love Jack's push for room mics in order to bring more of Lana into the songs. Not the public personality or the voice on the track but the woman he is friends with and knows personally - it's a really beautiful touch 

He mentions that a lot of the distorted warped sounds we hear on the transition from A&W to Jimmy are snippets of them laughing and exclaiming as the piece comes together 

[CinnamonGay 10,513]

So the first part of Jimmy was written for OB?

Semi-related but does anyone else wonder if A&W (American Whore, not Jimmy) has origins in the NFR era? The bit about being a side piece at 33 (her 33rd birthday was in 2018) is what has me wondering

[Honeyyoung 17,046]

not her "oh my god" being her reaction to jack being able to mix jimmy into the song. ICONIC

No, but as far as I understand it the version in A&W is close to the original Jimmy, they just added some ad libs and distortion effects.

Lana said in an interview that she recorded a demo of American Whore in a hotel, sent it to Jack and he didn't look it at for half a year. Based on that it's not from the NFR era.

Can we get some important audio snippets like the demos?

[Wait For Life 15,523]

Perhaps she was channeling her 33-year-old self while writing it

I learned something new today ✨. Thank u

[SoftwareUpgrade 19,266]

Me to this entire interview

 

[Strangelove 1,548]

This thread reminded me of just how old NFR! is.

This was really cool made me realize how much of a nerd Jack is but in a good way it’s kinda like they just went with the vibe and mixed what came of it it’s pure magic tbh Kintsugi BTS when
