10. You & Me

11. You're Gonna Love Me

12. Last Girl On Earth

I recently made my girlfriend 3 playlists and i thought i’d share them in this thread, though i don’t think they would be particularly well-liked  (what does this emoticon mean?) I’m a big fan of playing really disparate things right next to each other but still following some sort of “logic,” and she likes that too, so that’s how i approached at least part of these. I had already given her a copy of AKA, and she eventually asked me for more stuff, but, rather than giving her the rest of the albums + a selection of unreleased stuff, i wanted to give her a collection that was all-encompassing (excluding AKA), dictated by which songs i thought she would like. I spent a good amount of time with the flow from song to song, as well as the overall arc of each playlist. I also had to play with the space in between tracks so that songs would flow from one another as i wanted them to--some songs sound great going right into the next, whereas others benefit from varying amounts of silence in between.

I don't understand most of this but I'll give it a whirl because I can appreciate some artistic organization. I'm a pretty typical playlist maker, I guess--I need natural moods and transitions. STORYLINES.

 

I fully expected some version of Lolita to be on all of those, though

I don't usually listen to playlists that mix in BTD/TPE songs, but I'm gonna give these a try. Let us know how your gf likes them, too! (You think she wouldn't care for Born to Die or Paradise as is?)

[Monicker]

I don't understand most of this

2/3 ain't bad 

 

I don't usually listen to playlists that mix in BTD/TPE songs, but I'm gonna give these a try.

 

Oh, i thought your whole thing was to mix TPE songs in with BtD to make TPE more "listenable," but i just went back and checked, and i see that it was non-BtD songs you were mixing in.

Well, i think, besides AKA, everything of Lana's has the potential to be hit-or-miss. I gave her AKA first not only because i think it's the best stuff and what she would probably like the most, but also because it's such a solid album straight through. I thought she'd appreciate some of the BtD demos more than the album versions, and that she'd appreciate Paradise songs mixed in with different sounding stuff rather than as a straight-through album, so i thought this approach made sense. Basically, i wanted to showcase Lana's wide range of styles. 

[Hundred Dollar Bill]

My playlist always starts with 'Lucky Ones'. It's simply Lana's best song.

 

 

Marry me? 

 

I have a handful of playlists where I've put Monicker-sized love and affection into the track order. I will post them.. soon.

I finally listened to BTD:TPE straight through (well, mostly) with TPE songs at the end, in the order Lana intended.

 

 

It was so beautiful. Especially "Ride," which seemed unnecessarily tired at the beginning of an EP -- coming after a slew of the previous BTD songs through "Lucky Ones," it's completely appropriate.

 

(I can't listen this way too often though... it's emotionally exhausting.)

I like to play this when I'm on a long drive, or have a lot of time to sit back, take in every beautiful moment of the music, and feel every beautiful emotion that each song evokes in me. And when I listen, I can feel everything that I felt then. It's such a mind fuck. I'm kind of still stuck on this.

[Heaux]

this is one of my favorite lana playlists: 

 

 

 

Kinda Outta Luck

 

1. Kinda Outta Luck
2. Hey Lolita Hey (demo)
3. Go Go Dancer
4. You Can Be The Boss
5. Dangerous Girl
6. Hundred Dollar Bill

Its starts off dark but then the mood quickly changes to fun and sexy and then ends on another dark note

It has elements of hip hop, that Hawaiian glam surf noir stuff and jazz. 

It showcases lots of lanas styles

great thread

[Atom Heart]

Does anyone have a playlist that combines Paradise & Born to Die's tracklists into a huge body of music? I would love to hear what everyone comes up with.

Hunter had one on the last page, with other unreleased tracks mixed in, that I think of as "Hunter's Epic Paradise":

http://lanaboards.com/index.php?/topic/795-your-favorite-lana-playlists/?p=39366

 

...and I took out the unreleased ones and called it "Hunter's Pretty Paradise"

 

[Hundred Dollar Bill]

I planned on starting a BTD/Paradise playlist actually. I'll get to it!

[DUKE]

I had a Paradise Tour playlist months before the tour even started...

• "Dark Paradise"
• "Body Electric"
• "Gods and Monsters"
• "Blue Jeans" 
• "Diet Mountain Dew"
• "Million Dollar Man"
• "Carmen"
• "Without You"
• "American"
• "Off to the Races"
• "This Is What Makes Us Girls"
• "Cola"
• "Ride"
• "Summertime Sadness"
• "Video Games"
• "National Anthem"

 

See how right I was! She's so predictable. You should have seen my face on opening night... 

[Atom Heart]

My phone usually starts off the playlist very slow and it transitions into the higher energy songs towards the end.
