Random Lana Discussion Thread

[Ultra Violet 19,184]

I don't understand why some people think Bartender is witchy. Just because a few lyrics? I make witchy playlists all the time and bartender would be one of the last Lana songs I'd put on there. It's a sweet song but that's about it. I don't hear desperation or authenticity (I mean, she was visiting homophobic churches at the time) or even good story telling, the way the verses have nothing to do with the chorus (that's my problem with HIAB too).

 

But if you're looking for a beautiful witchy song that bartender was trying to be, there is Ghosts of Lover's Past by Honey Gentry

Personally, what I find “witchy” about the song is the chorus and the haunting piano kinda reminds me of the Magic Castle (a hotel in Hollywood, Houdini lived there) because the two ghosts people see most often there are a bartender cleaning tables and a woman playing piano that is also often heard distantly. So that with the “ladies of the canyon” verses always left a haunting magical feeling to it. Like she spends her days doing frivolous magic with her girls but at night she goes off to the Magic Castle to hang out alone with these ghosts. It kinda seems all sad and solitary like no one understands her like the ghosts do. I know that’s not what everyone else sees in it but to me it’s like a secondary storyline. But I guess that would more be paranormal than witchy. Also I understand that it’s a completely imagined storyline I added to the song lol.

I never understood why Lana has ditched both Brian Wilson and Giorgio Moroder's mid-collab back in 2013/14. Like these dudes are legends and Miss Del Rey just left the both of them on read.

Chuck stinks, it’s so nice to be able to say that out loud.

Tbh I've seen lotsa stuff she's done with other artists or for other projects/businesses and like... some of it is actually good.

 

But the vast majority of what she's done with Lanz is just so plain, DIY and amateur through and through. Like she's nowhere near the level of artistry and perfection of someone like Neil Krug.

When I said a variation of that, I got called all sorts of names by other members.

i would die for a studio version of the live rendition of lolita....those drums

Y'all's Chuck hate is ridiculous. She's shot all of Lana's best non BTD Official covers and her work for other people is really good too. I think you guys just need something to complain about everyday while waiting in between projects because if you don't incessantly complain for thousands of pages on lanaboards, lanaboards gets boring then and you stop logging in everyday and realize you actually don't have all that much going on IRL/

 

So: what vinyl color? I think Puke Green. Or Ugly Mustard Yellow. I hope there's a Zine style cover and there are cassette versions to buy

I don't think her work stinks, I like the stuff she has made for other people, but when it comes to do something with Lana, idk, something's off.

Bahaha even when you're defending Chuck's work, you're still benchmarking it below Born to Die.

 

And with that consideration, why would anyone want Chuck's work when we know how good the artwork could be with anyone else . . ?
