COLACNT 5,178 Posted December 29, 2013 i was thinking that maybe we could pool all of her songs together into some randomized generator like this once a week, and then discuss that song in depth; i.e what it means to you, what you think it means to lana, what you like about it, what you loathe about it, how it makes you feel, maybe play it for some friends / family and see how they react to it, etc basically anything centered around that one song for that week i always thought that the lyric forum would be a good place to discuss song meanings, etc but there are so many separate threads its kind of overwhelming to devote all of the potential ideas / analyses / discussion topics to the 839843098 different songs. and tbh there are a lot of songs that i don't really listen to that much or think about that much but if we're kind focus our attention on it collectively, we might come to hear it / understand it in different ways. and some of her songs are so different, in terms of production / lyrical content / etc so i guess maybe different songs could bring forth different types of topics etc good idea? flop idea? i can just copy and paste the song list into the generator if it sounds ok 18 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

cartoon eyes 2,540 Posted December 30, 2013 I love this idea. I've done this on another forum and it was heaps fun. It spiced shit up. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Adrift 4,813 Posted December 30, 2013 I like the concept! It'd also be a great way to remind us of some songs we may have forgotten about and rediscover them, too. 3 Quote X----into me, into you----X Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DUKE 2,530 Posted December 30, 2013 Oh, I really love that idea. I think what was really missing on Lana Boards lately were highly speculative song discussions! 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sitar 22,210 Posted December 30, 2013 yayyy so happy everyone likes the idea SONG OF THE WEEK (#1) !!! maybe we can delete this thread? I'm wondering if they should all be in one thread for a potentially huge project, pinned etc, or if they'd get more intention by making new threads every week... 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heaux 1,399 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm wondering if they should all be in one thread for a potentially huge project, pinned etc, or if they'd get more intention by making new threads every week... new threads every week would clutter the forum way to much, it could be kept in this thread and promo'd in statuses to keep people interested 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wryta Thinkpiece 3,344 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm wondering if they should all be in one thread for a potentially huge project, pinned etc, or if they'd get more intention by making new threads every week... new threads every week would clutter the forum way to much, it could be kept in this thread and it could be promo'd in statuses I mean, if it's just one thread a week, it shouldn't cause too much clutter, and it would definitely be less likely for the new SOTW to be overlooked. If we do it that way, we can also make it a mass-participant thing as well; like, every week, the frequent participants of the topic are noted and then one member from the participants is randomly selected to announce the new SOTW (but that would also mean that they'd have to make sure they are responsible enough to put up the SOTW on time so that each song gets a fair reign.) Though I don't see why just one thread wouldn't suffice, as long as @ is willing to put in some time once a week to put each old SOTW in a collection under a spoiler to avoid confusion, and then, of course, the once-a-week reply announcing the new SOTW (BUT to make COLA's job easier, we could even do the new announcer thing in one thread as well if we wanted to, and then he would just have to put the new SOTW info on the first post.) Honestly, I'm 100% for this either way, how this hasn't happened yet, I don't even know. Kudos to COLA for proposing a fantastic way for all of us to have a little more fun and further connect with each other under the glory of the Blessed Lana and her Del-Reydiantism. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rafael 3,513 Posted December 30, 2013 I'm wondering if they should all be in one thread for a potentially huge project, pinned etc, or if they'd get more intention by making new threads every week... How about creating a subforum in "Lana Thoughts"? There are approximately over +200 songs (not including songs yet to be announced and released, oh dear lord), and that alone is like 4 years of discussing one song every week. I think it's safe to say that it's gonna stick around for a while. On one hand it seems rather practical to keep it all within the same thread, but it feels like it's gonna end up becoming a nightmare if you wanna read something specific about a particular song. Don't forget to tag each thread title with the name in case it happens! Just a suggestion Basically as @@Stoop Kid said, either case is fine really. Make this happen! 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

COLACNT 5,178 Posted December 30, 2013 i don't have a preference tbh we can keep it under one thread and change the title every sunday or we could have a separate sub forum i dunno maybe we should vote on it?! and i mean the "SOTW" doesn't even have to be random we can vote on that too? or think of some other way to select a song like have some ppl choose it during certain weeks, etc 0 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
