I walked home today, listening to Lana's Nevada album (yeah yeah, AKA lizzy grant, I like the name Nevada better) and wondered, what if Nevada was a big success, the songs form it would be famous, it would have single releases etc.? Than, I thought of this topic to Lana Boards

Did she twirl?

Did she twirl?

 

I seriously had a feeling that the first reply to this topic will be a reference to that VG-BJ SNL performance

Really cool thread though... of what could've been... or well, not been.

 

Maybe people hated her SNL performance then too

And people doubted that So Legit will be ICONIC 

[cartoon eyes 2,545]

OMFG if AKA was successful, LDR would never have happened so no BTD, no Paradise, and even no LDR unreleased tracks

I appreciate your appreciation and am further adding that people would kinda appreciate that performance!

I loved that song from the first moment! Lana can be shaaaaarp

OMFG if AKA was successful, LDR would never have happened so no BTD, no Paradise, and even no LDR unreleased tracks

 

I really understnad you, good thing things turned the other way around

[Rebel 3,177]

No Born To Die video, I'm sure... no nothing

[I Was An Angel 340]

Haha it's a "What if" kinda thing, AKA could never be successful, Lana had to change a little and upgrade her music to become more familiar and more mainstream

oooh yeah!!! love how you took it to a different direction, I thought about posting it  with different tracklist too but than decided to keep it the way Lana wanted it to be... You're braver than me

Shame on you to edit out Smarty though! Think about it, it would fit perfectly between KOL and Yayo

[James Dean 950]

i can put brite lites and mermaid motel off the album? they are so... eletronic?

Omg, now that would be a terrible world to live in 

[whitman 1,286]

I have to say that AKA is actually my favorite record of Lana so far. It works way better as an whole record than BTD for me.

 

So Kill Kill is the most iconic song so probably it would be the song that it would make her big ( just like VG did for her). Before her album cam out, she would release a promo video for Raise Me Up . Her second official single ( with an BTD video production) it would be Yayo. Then she would just release homevideos for Gramma, Oh Say Can You See me and Trash Magic ( in my Aka version this song it is definitely on it). She would be the pitchfork/hipster darling, not the type of fame that Lana has now.

[Sitar 22,214]

On one hand I'd love her to have success with that sound so that she wouldn't completely obliterate it after 2010. But then I love so many of the later tracks...

 

Perhaps I would like a few videos and a physical release but still very little success so that her career would keep on the track it went on and we'd still have great fame-hungry anthems like Noir.

 

Like if they'd given her a budget for a Kill Kill or Yayo or Gramma video before she ended up flopping, that would be so cool.

SNL Setlist: Tired of Singing the Blues & Queen of Disaster (shows range and ability to go popish and accustic)

 

Debut Music Video: Kind outta Luck

**You can create a mix between Tarantino/ Almodovar and give a treatement to this video to make it iconic. Trash, sarcastic, beautiful images yet artistic. Plus the music is kinda of funny and catchy

 

I think BTD and Paradise would exist in a different form. Every artist, at least they should, grows, changes, evolves. Maybe we wouldn't have the character LDR but we would still have what LDR is.
