Minor General Questions that Don't Deserve Their Own Thread

[Ramada Hydrangea 433]

Does anyone know who the boyfriend Lana is referring to in this (iconic) interview from late 2011/early 2012? I thought it was Barrie but then she says that he's in the music industry, but not a musician... so that doesn't make sense for Barrie. I don't think her and Mizrahi were together at this point anymore, but maybe I'm wrong? Here's the link to the interview, the boyfriend talk starts around 3:30:

Question for the mods:

 

I thought we only had to use spoilers if we’re discussing details of the songs e.g lyrics or sounds, not if we’re just saying something general e.g “instrumental is serving” (vague) or “(x song) is impeccable”

I’ve been giving a WP for some mod adding 10(?) spoilers to recent posts at least 8 or 9 of which I do not think constitute spoilers whatsoever lmao. So egregious, and now my posts need to be approved by a moderator before I post? Ridiculous
 

are these WPs being applied across the board or am I being targeted lmao? Like majority of the things I posted were SO general and not even worthy of being in a spoiler otherwise I would’ve done so. Just seems so OTT..

 

and before someone/Elle/whoever tries to @ me about how the mods are so hardworking and blah blah blah and try to subtle drag me for those lanaboards likes- I’m here for a legitimate explanation, I don’t even really care but it seems like someone has an axe to grind w me and it’s kinda laughable ?? Don’t know if someone’s just being trigger happy or overly cautious or what.

 

anyway here’s some examples of the comments that got spoilered & WP

 

Spoiler

- a post that simple says “drop acid” , which yeah is a reference to the TT lyric but like.. girl

- a post where I called grandfather “impeccable, magnificent”

- a post where I called the first few seconds of the let the light in (I think) “instrumental is serving”

- putting a ranking of the tracks and saying that the album was better than BB and chemtrails

i just don’t think any of that constitutes a WP lmfao let alone a mod going in to edit it & add spoilers. Maybe for like ONE of the posts, majority of people are going to say, especially on their first listen, that an instrumental or song served, or call it incredible. I hardly think that spoils anyone else’s listening experience whatsoever, nor is it necessary to haphazardly apply a WP over & put someone on mod approval for their posts lmao

While this certainly could’ve been a conversation had over DMs, any and all thoughts or opinions obtained from listening to a leak, lyrics, or anything else about the song must be put in spoilers. Yes, I did have to add roughly 8 or 9 spoilers to your posts. Others I didn’t have to do more than twice.

 

Again, I didn’t have to approve this post in this random thread. You could have asked me over DMs, instead of claiming a personal attack with absolutely no basis. Everybody else around you was actually using spoilers, and those who weren’t… also had spoilers added to their posts by me. 

 

Let me know if you have any other questions

didn’t make it a personal attack, don’t victimise urself babes

felt like posting it here was the most appropriate place, didn’t occur to me to dm you tbh don’t take it the wrong way!

but anyway there are plenty of people that have posted similar comments to mine and haven’t received a WP or put on mod queue, hence why I think it was unfair and can come across as targeted ! Especially for saying something as mundane as ‘(x song) is amazing/magnificent/serving’ which a ton of ppl have and are saying w/out spoilers and I’m sure even you know that it’s unreasonable to enforce such general, spoiler-free statements to be spoilered. Either way, just comes across as a bit OTT. I would understand if I had made numerous posts detailing lyrics in part or in full, or describing in depth her vocals or the production etc etc but all of my comments were pretty general statements.

No, she hasn't performed it live yet but maybe she will at one of the festivals this year

This might sound a little dumb, but what was LDR.fm (and how was it related to unreleased songs, if it was?) I wasn't a fan at the time and I'm always confused when I see it

[DinahLee 6,213]

Do we know who did the cinematography on "Love"? I've been trying to find out but nothing shows up, just that Rick Lee directed. I imagined there could be someone related to Lust For Life or White Mustang as well but nothing.

 

By far one of her greatest looking videos.

LDR.fm was a lana forum before lanaboards that was only up for like half a year, the owner (I forgot her name) was someone involved with the first laptop/email hack, she had a zip of songs that we all know and love today that she shared with a group of lana listeners after finding them on last.fm, this group then became the mods on LDR.fm after the owner created the forum. they used the forum to leak these songs, they would do tinychat radio shows and drop the mp3s. most, if not everything, that leaked in 2012 came from them via this way. i think in july 2012, the forum suddenly went offline never to come back. the owner disappeared, most people assumed she got arrested or hugely threatened. the songs from her zip continued being shared around, finding its way to random tumblrs who leaked the rest in 2013-14. a few years ago someone tracked down the owner of ldr.fm and had an interview with them, it was shared here briefly but i don't know if the post is still up. the owner kinda confirmed lana's team probably threatened or took legal action against her and she had to disappear and never mention lana again. a lot of ldr.fm users like evilentity, myself, trash magic etc. migrated to lanaboards. the ldr.fm mods kept popping up every now and then to continue leaking stuff, most notably the 2015 reddit leaker. from chatting with him, it didn't seem like they had much music left to leak but moreso live footage/recordings and visuals.

Damn, that's crazy. But also really interesting, I feel like I just learned an important piece of history. I wonder if anything got lost through all this.

Thank you so much!
