Lana’s fondness of Morgan Wallen’s bro-country music actually worries me I get you can like whatever music you like but after giving it a listen it’s HOT GARBAGE (and not in a campy way!) let’s hope no influence creeps into her new music..it would be much more reassuring if she enjoyed Zach Bryan’s newest album (which was GREAT) but for now all I know is she really likes Morgan Wallen..

Annual report from National Center for Transgender Equality shows grim statistics by race and gender A new report reveals that 53 transgender people were killed while 32 were lost to suicide across the US in the last year, which saw a marked increase in anti-trans legislation and rhetoric. Notably, while these numbers from the National Center for Transgender Equality’s (NCTE) annual remembrance report have grown since last year, some experts say that the real number of lives lost is probably higher due to the difficulties in accurate reporting and data within the trans community. “It is no coincidence that we are seeing anti-trans violence rise at the same time as we’re seeing anti-trans legislation rise,” said Rodrigo Heng-Lehtinen, the executive director at the NCTE. “Every year from 2020 to today, we have broken the record … of anti-transgender bills ever introduced.” Heng-Lehtinen added that as “policy attacks grow, so do the physical attacks”. “It is because of society sending a signal about whose lives are considered important,” he said. The annual report, released every November, includes deaths from November 2022 through this month. It includes 53 violent deaths and 56 nonviolent deaths, 32 of which were by suicide. In both categories, trans women comprised the majority of deaths. “Even though hate crimes overall are decreasing in the United States, they are actually increasing when it comes to hate crimes against transgender people in particular and, even more so, hate crimes against transgender women,” Heng-Lehtinen said. According to the FBI’s national crime statistics released in October 2023, there was a 32.9% jump in reported hate crimes based on gender identity from the previous year. That jump is reflected in the report, with a disproportionate impact on people of color. While 64% of nonviolent deaths involved white people, 51% of violent deaths were of Black people, and 21 of the 53 violent deaths were of Black trans women. Heng-Lehtinen noted that these numbers are “obviously completely out of proportion to the general population” and emblematic of a “horrible storm of transphobia, meeting misogyny, meeting racism”. NCTE’s list includes 30-year-old Chyna Long, a Black trans choreographer who was killed on 8 October in a residential neighborhood in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. “Once she became who she wanted to be, which is Chyna, she lived in that and every day,” Long’s aunt, Alissa Davenport, told local news station TMJ4. “She lived to be Chyna and she was happy.” Davenport said the murder “took a piece of our joy”. “To know this was done to her, they truly don’t understand what they have done to our family,” she told the outlet. Alongside Long, many other Black trans women on the list were killed in acts of violence. In September, Bre’Asia Bankz was shot to death in Arizona, leaving behind a dog named Tiger whom she loved like “her baby”, according to a GoFundMe page set up by her family to pay for her funeral expenses. In August, DéVonnie J’Rae Johnson was killed in Los Angeles, where she was receiving gender-affirming medical care. She was an accomplished artist, and her family and friends say she wanted to give back to her community. In October, A’nee Johnson died in Washington DC after an assault that left her in a street. She was later hit by a passing car. “I want [people] to remember her for her zeal, her passion and her consistency,” Johnson’s friend Oluwaferanni Olarinde told local Fox affiliate WTTG. “How consistent she was with showing her face and making sure her energy was pure and lively.” Experts emphasize that the number of trans people killed by violence is almost certainly higher than what the report says. “It is very difficult to comprehensively identify everyone who’s been attacked like this,” Heng-Lehtinen said. Those difficulties include obtaining IDs that match a person’s gender identity and being misidentified by surviving family members. “Many transgender people, especially Black transgender people, are nervous going to the police for help and feel like they can’t report crimes,” he said. “It will be too risky or they won’t be taken seriously … all of that adds up to these cases and instances of violence being underreported.” Kris Tassone, who is policy counsel for the NCTE and head of the remembrance project, told the Guardian that “despite strides in vital record updates, more comprehensive efforts are needed to ensure accurate representation and recognition”. While international reporting efforts can be even more difficult, the report includes at least 434 worldwide total deaths of trans people – 336 of which were recorded as violent. Heng-Lehtinen believes it’s “incredibly important” to draw “attention to the violent deaths of trans people” but that it’s also important to remember that activists are still making progress. “There’s all these attacks happening, and that is galvanizing trans people and those who love us to get really involved. So people are fighting back,” he said. “They’re going out and doing a rally or testifying in a state legislature or getting other folks involved.” He points to more transgender candidates running for office at all levels, including the Delaware state senator Sarah McBride, the Nashville city councilor Olivia Hill, and the Montana state representative Zooey Zephyr, as well as increased visibility of trans people in the media – particularly in film. “There’s a lot of resilience here, and there’s a lot of really, really crucial political organizing happening to turn this tide back,” he said. The full 2023 remembrance report is available online and features photos, illustrations and memorials. https://www.theguardian.com/society/2023/nov/22/transgender-deaths-rememberance-report

Last month, Lana Del Rey stopped to meet a fan while out shopping in Los Angeles, California. “Old” pictures, but I just came across them and had to share since she looks so pretty x

I made a mockup for what I would LOVE to see for TFJ 15th anniversary (although it will probs not happen) I know it doesn’t look the best but I had to place every single letter one by one and make them join up for the tracklist bit and it took HOURS of hell.

I don’t see her release any « new » music before the Grammy’s. But the unreleased collection or cover’s release could be an « unofficial way » of campaigning…

I wonder when the first single from LDR10 will be released. She don't seem to be planning any time off next year to concentrate on the album. Is it almost finished? Or is it planned for a much later date? We might know more by the end of the year.

imagine these younger people at this festival now that lana is famous on tiktok

a morgan wallen collab would be the absolute worst decision for her to make, controversies aside, from what i've heard, his music sounds like hot garbage and collaborating with such a basic, mainstream, commercialized country artist who's hardly actually country, and who's also known for saying the n-word, would be a very embarrassing look for her, she could do so much better

I'm 99% sure that Stand By Your Man cover will be on LDR10. She sang it on the tour all the time like she sang For Free on The NFR! Tour. And it somehow suits her current Americana aesthetic too. We'll see, maybe it's on American Standards & Classics.

part of me would loveeeeee for the next album to have a proper full blown 'era' with multiple music videos, loads of tv performances and a billion photoshoots ....but then another part of me loves how lana just doesn't bother with traditional popstar stuff and instead picks and chooses when she wants to join in w/ all that jazz

Lana Del Rey will be headlining Reading & Leeds Festival held at Bramham Park in Leeds, England on August 25th, 2024. She will also perform the previous day at the festival’s Reading location.

All Around The World On It Red Wine Girl Of My Dreams Overdrive Coming With Me Drinks More Where That Came From Owwww Rosita Street HQ Keep It Oh My God Somber Whatever CANDY.zip is this Kim mass in the room with us?

do i hear sad girl slander

The current artists that Lana listens to are never an inspiration for her music. She has always been inspired by classic artists and legends. She will NEVER make "country music" as horrible as Morgan Wallen.

We are probably getting some new music next year given Ocean Blvd will be 1 year and 9 months old. Blue Banisters was only 1 year and 5 months old when Ocean was fully released.

This fuckass photo.. they’ll never let go huh

She's doing Saturday Reading, Sunday Leeds https://www.ticketmaster.co.uk/reading-and-leeds-festival The way I've got to age 23 without having to brave either of these festivals I fear it might be the end of me

Mine is delivering Saturday, moving through the FedEx system but it’s taking ages.

Mark my words, besides Spain and the UK, she will perform in those European countries in 2024: Portugal, Norway, Denmark, Sweden, Finland, Poland, Hungary, Switzerland, France, Ireland, Belgium, The Netherlands, Germany, Italy, Greece + another 2 UK festivals. I can also see her doing shows in Australia + New Zealand and Brazil/Argentina/Chile. Manifesting a concert in every continent and majority of the world's countries though! 🪄🔮🔥

was llooking through some old threads/topics (mostrly runors) and this is what i could gather, not really much but some stuff was new and interesting to me much talking about Elvis Presley Covers recording during BTD era some Balthazar Getty person sessions during lfl (that probably were never done) chuck and rob talking about some small stuff during UV times, have never seen this before possibly means nothing - but someone asked Dan Heath about that 2013 soundchek, that atp might really be just her freestyling and nothing more some (probably fake) lyrics, hot potato ones turned out real in the end im yet to explore "Lana thoughts" topic and some parts of "Random Lana Discussion Thread", to hopefully find somthing new and interesting that accidentally was swept under the rug

It’s the perfect season for a big announcement. Around this time last year OB was announced and I was OBSESSED with the title track. Australia dates??? Billie collab on her next album??? I think so

Lana Del Rey will be headlining Reading & Leeds Festival held at Richfield Avenue in Reading, England on August 24th, 2024. She will also perform the next day at the festival’s Leeds location.

It’s a long title, so title. Like how Lana might mention May/ seasons. Or references heavily, primarily based in American imagery etc. Does living anywhere else than America, or possibly even more so if you’re in America, or just environmentally impact how you listen to Lana’s music?

we deserve this let me manifesting

now waitaminute… what is this

Lake Placid is one of her best songs. So sad.

Problematique all sold out around me. I hope all the f-words who got copies instead of me have their Starbucks orders be wrong for the next 5 years, their poppers are always stale, and their Grindr hookups always end up being 10 years older than they said they are. Now I'm going to have to buy a copy at some stupid markup price whenever scalpers put em on Discogs. Ugh.

Both lyrics are in Bad Boy!

1800 are in stock, so far no other store has restocked them so it's possibly leftover inventory.

All of her Kool Kojak songs are so fuckin good and underrated I still listen to them often. Dynamite and You Me and the Radio >>>

Ohhh thank you so much for such a detailed reply, I really appreciate it! What a surreal experience and how terrible for you and your nephew! That would probably put me off for life honestly, you are one brave woman The first festival I ever went to was Hyde Park this year. Honestly it was great, but I suspect because it's not a camping festival (so not really a festival in that sense), also because 100% of the people were there for Lana and probably over 90% were female, the fans were overall so cordial and nice. No fights, just good vibes! I'm in my mid-twenties and I don't know if I can handle putting up with rowdy drunk British teenagers ... sounds like a nightmare fever dream tbh It's also on my partners birthday weekend and since he's not a Lana fan there's no way ... I don't have any friends who are into Lana and with mild social anxiety, there's no way I'm going alone after your description I'm convincing myself to hold out hope for the fact that she might do a show in London and then maybe Manchester (or Liverpool). That would make sense with her being in the U.K! As we know nothing Lana & team ever do makes sense ... but you never know Yes please for solo dates! I could see one in London and then one in Leeds, Manchester, or Liverpool. Hyde Park would be great but the "exclusive headliner" on the L/R poster and the fact that Hyde Park don't tend to repeat headlines two years in a row makes me think no

Omfg this information thank you for exploring those old threads!

Thank you for the info! Now that we know what days she’s playing where, I went ahead and created another thread so we can have separate discussion for each show, which will make things easier for updates especially once we get closer to showtime (seems long from now, but time goes by fast!) I’ve left this thread for the first show in Reading, and created a new one for the second in Leeds here x

listing to you all known unleaked uv outtakes (from september 2012 - april 2014) tropico sound (september 2012 - july 2013) Earthquakes (final) Preacher Unknown Tropico Song If You Lie Down with Me og version and more songs made with barrie ultraviolence (october 2013 - april 2014) Angels Forever, Forever Angels (final) Hollywood (2013 Version) Fine China (final, rick nowels version) I Can Fly (og version) The Other Side (we don’t know the month but i’d guess it’s around this time) I Talk to Jesus (2 final mixes) rumored Trans-Am Elvis studio version as for dan songs, he made with her only 13 songs that were reported by mixing engineer, the ones on the album + money power glory his version (it makes 10), and the rest 3 songs he reworked but lana decided to discard his contribution on these songs, there are unleaked versions of pretty when you cry, guns and roses and i talk to jesus made by him

tbh its like an end of gcse festival 😭😭 so pretty much all 16 year olds but depends if you camp or not - r&l are both pretty much the same

One thing I've recently realised I do is that if I'm not listening to the whole albums anyway I'm often listening to Lana in "chunks" by which I mean specific track runs I really like and think of as distinct units. It's comparatively rare for me to jump around from song to song but of course I do it with unreleased and with my favourites sometimes.

it depends, sometimes i can get really fixated on a certain artist or even just a certain album (right now it's loveless by my bloody valentine) recently i've also found myself fixated on opal, also mazzy star, and specifically the lizzy grant music of 2007, honestly i find myself gravitated more towards her 2005-2007 work most but obviously i still love her most recent work and lately i've been obsessed with candy necklace who knows, maybe i'll find myself fixated on ultraviolence or something like that in the future, but regardless, her pre-fame, lizzy grant work is always an easy listen for me

I actually made a thread like this one before, but instead of following suit w a smart aleck comment, I do wanna say: - Cherry in the bath is a surprise recharge. and is an overall mood of a listen - Peppers whenever - Brooklyn Baby's perfect for the beach - Ocean Blvd when I wanna feel understood I like pacing the songs out and extending the moments with them regardless of what, and when I personally feel like the moment needs to progress or pass, I turn the music off soon after. I think that's why I like her interludes if anything

It sends me every time. When she starts on with the "It feels like I'm in a glass box/Invisible game is on top" bit, my soul leaves my body a bit. Please let it be; this fucking SLAPS. I just need leakers to be into some esoteric fetish porn or foot content or something I so I can finesse this shit outta their hard drives EZ. That's all I'm sayin.

i just need one bop. That's literally all I need. a nice catchy song for the radio and billboard 100. Not dark like aw, arcadia and others she's been putting out recently. just something like doin' time, radio, or high by the beach. I want her to work with happy perez again, or max martin, mark ronson - anyone in that healthy radio-friendly state of mind. Please lord thats all i need

In The City feels like a figment of my imagination

Just thought I’d pop in and say something positive, Bombs on Monday Morning is a masterpiece !!!

We listen to Lana, we see her, we get her 100% without any effort. It's almost instantaneous. Her critics look at her, they listen to her, they can't grasp her in the least, and they embarrass themselves attempting to define what they do see. Look at narcissistic, fascist Anne Powers, complaining that Lana didn't carry herself the way Anne Powers believes she should as a female artist in the 21st century, didn't have the right political opinions, didn't have the correct vision and correct attitudes, as if Lana was Anne Powers, and not a completely different individual in her own right. Lana seems to have an unusually high level of people, especially in the critic class, that don't get her, but everyone who does get her loves her passionately. And the fact that Lana has a long string of dedicated admirers, some of whom are musical and creative legends—David Lynch, Joan Baez, Bruce Springsteen, Father John Misty, Courtney Love, the Weeknd, John Waters, Stevie Nicks—and they see and hear her, as we do, has to rankle. Obviously this has been a huge year for Lana; she won the war even if she lost a few battles.

It’s cute but A&W is career defining and deserved it. Also she should’ve submitted LTLI for Grammy Pop Duo instead of CN imo

Let the Light In has just become the most streamed song from this album. Who would have thought?
