Why are people so obsessed with knowing MORE than the people who were closest to her and collaborated with her?? We got 2 very in depth articles and you STILL have shit to say. Also, SOPHIE was an experimental musician who THRIVED on messing with people, if you’re disturbed by “random beat switch ups” then that’s entirely on you. You’re the problem here. Why force yourself into liking music you don’t actually have the capacity to understand, just to shit on it

it's 2007 and i'm browsing the web on my macbook in my trailer on neptune avenue near the mermaid motel and coney island while there's a gorgeous, purple sunset outside of my window, beautiful music is playing, my rainbow christmas lights are hung up, i'm eating sweets, life is good

I know we r grasping at straws but come on now

"Lasso - Pre Release Thread: OUT September 2024" LMAOOOO Also HELLO EVERYONE im new I've been a Lana stan since 2018 retired ldr stan twitter account named "Day" my @ was lanadelreysdog idk if some of you were my moots back in 2019-2021 idk, I've been a lurker since Cocc pre release era and i finally made an account so i hope i get along with you all <33. Also Ocean Blrvd era was peak... with user kintsugi leaking all the lyrics and tracklist I was so gagged, i wish we had that with lasso..

She just followed Rolling Stone UK maybe cover story / single announcement / in-depth interview about the album soon?

but why speculate when we are told? i really doubt her family would purposefully "ruin" the album for some reason. i feel like this is exactly the reaction people wouldve had if sophie released the album. sophie never gave people what they wanted, and im pretty sure oil had a similar reception lol

I think the demos she played live were just the first takes of the songs with some live improv as well and that it was never in her mind to keep them that long, but to recontextualize them in the format of an album. Just like a film director who shoots many scenes and then cuts some of them for whatever stylistic/plot purpose reason. Benny himself talked about how she wanted “some parts of the songs to be kept and some others to be removed” or smth like that.

Sorry to break the joy but since I'm a weird person who is obsessed with who Lana is following - she has been following Rolling Stone UK since March 2023 when she was on the cover of it. Instagram has changed that "following" thing, where they show who are they following in an random order so you can't see the latest Lana followings on Instagram anymore

I work in NFR city as a specialist in cuntology

The family has stated time and time again that this is absolutely not the case, and this is an album that had all of the tracks only touches away from being complete & a finalized tracklist before she died. I don't love the tracklist either, and I also think that some of the artistic choices sound odd (haven't listened yet but going off the singles and what people in here have said), but what we have to remember is that if this album is underwhelming, it's underwhelming because of the decisions SOPHIE made. Honestly seems like some people are using her grieving family as a scapegoat because you don't like the album but don't want to criticise the deceased. Is it "objectively trash" or can you just not understand more abstract music? Some of you people would crumble if you had to listen to a noise album.

the album doesn't even exist isn't even out yet and you guys are saying it's trash omfg this is like a collective adhd outbreak

Charlie is on his own journey

leave this forum NOW

I’ll listen to the lead first before judging anything

thinking of this CLASSIC today…

I wish I could see her latest followings but her most recent interesting following was in July when she followed this art director Amelia who has been part of many magazine photoshoots for example Vogue

My name in the Lana Verse is Ricardo Buick. I dress like James Dean but I croon like The Rat Pack. I travel restlessly but Las Vegas and Los Angeles hold a special place for me as does Key West and New Mexico. I smoke American Spirits and live on the kindness of strangers. I'm spiritual not religious and I have an american flag tattoo. I stay up watching the stars as I ride my harley davidson. That's why I like deserts. Its quiet. I can think of God and Elvis. And I can see the stars. I'm hoping to find a soulmate along the way. But at the end of the day freedom is my raison d'etre and i want a companion not gatekeeper. My job in the Lana Verse is to Ask God Why....and then right poems and songs about the answer but confusingly. I'm fucking crazy but I'm free

the duality of lanaboards in this thread:

lana would have told us if it was trash like she did with chemtrails

I loved it Glad it was new material compared to stuff we already heard. It felt fresh to me but I can see why people are upset in terms of getting their favourite Sophie songs released on streaming etc who knows maybe more stuff is to come through other artists etc I think you should enjoy the albumfor what it is, it’s really great if your not focusing on what you think is missing

Listening to ITZ in after these leaks and wowwww I forgot how truly excellent this album is

If the goal was to make an album reminiscent of a SOPHIE live set then I say goal achieved. It doesn’t seem that far off from what someone would’ve experienced live.

Wild at Heart is top 25 ldr songs ever material. And it's better than how to disappear

I'm a chicken, running bare feet, so sweet, young & in love, acting like fucking mr.Brightside... I'm like a quiet waiter blue forever, serving cherry coke. They call me Jimmy, but my hits don't feel like a kiss. I'm gonna take mine with them with me, repeating the words on & on & on again:"They don't understand me! I'm a poet!"

I had this idea a few weeks (months? idk i work retail time is strange.) ago based off the twitter meme about what people would be doing on a commune after The Revolution. Most of the answers are silly but it got me thinking and I was drinking Kava and Kratom with my friend K (yes that K from my peoms its complicated mkay) and I remembered the Lana Village website thing and I thought: You know how we all talk about how lana's songwriting creates rich vivid shared worlds..... Let's call that the Lana Verse. And that begs the question who are you and what do you do in The Lana Verse? Answers can be as silly or serious as you want.

“Not everyone is as obsessed with everyone’s political beliefs” is just stupid. I don’t care about LIZ being on the album at all but openly supporting genocide is very different than just having a political belief. Also SOPHIE was a trans woman whose existence has all to do with politics right now including her own music which was about being trans. Would you say someone calling SOPHIE a man is just a different political belief?

Maybe all of us need to wait for what will no doubt be more interviews and information around the release date before making presumptions about the artistic choices of the album. Based on what I've heard, it seems that Sophie was going for a lot more of a streamlined version of her sound that was closer to product than OOEPUI. My main feedback to fandom is : stop presuming and projecting onto Sophie that she was gonna cut Liz/ because of her political beliefs. It's very clear that Liz was always a gonna be part of the Album in the way the cecelie was part of OOEPUI. Not everyone is as obsessed with everyone's political beliefs as some "fans" are.

mine is a paper straw and it’s melting leave me alone

and when the second part of the album surprise drops and the tracklist is this yes i'm a dreamer…

KNEE DEEP IN THE PASSENGER SEAT AND YOU’RE EATING ME OUT IS IT CASUAL NOW??????

I would be an armed guard at the maximum security Fake Insider Penitentiary on Ocean Blvd

let's move from the negatives and rather focus on the positives of those sadly hatred albums and manifest these positives for lasso

HELP BC I LOVE ALL OF CCOTCC OMG WHY DO YALL HATE SO HARD its one of my fav albums, Im a Blue Ban and CCOTCC, and DYKTTATUNOB r my favs

Also if anything Liz gives a little ditzy and not-politically-minded at worst. I think some Stan’s are doing too much based off of a few Twitter likes

This is a good summary of this year

No one knows...anything 😅

the way i haven’t listened to this since july

A win

I’m the guy who cut a key for a young couple working on their pickup truck.

it's my 2nd fav after Blackout. Hopefully we get more outtakes of ITZ or Blackout like: Sacred Who Can She Trust Strip (LIZ is gonna release it soon) Wonderland Peep Show/Are You Ready Downtown Giving It Up For Love Stay

it's going to be trash magic https://youtu.be/JwuTDFASNao?si=9igPGquSC6SBajnV

you get it

Live In My Truth has me moving

Like I needed gallop to be a whole 10 minute experience, the track goes insaneeeee

I'd be an academic at LDRU. I recently completed my PhD in Honeymoonology and am currently teaching the following courses: - Young and Beautiful: The Obsession with Youth in Popular Culture" – A philosophical and sociological examination of how youth and beauty are idealised, focusing on Lana’s reflection on these themes. With a specific look into The Virgin Suicides and The Picture of Dorian Gray. - Blue Jeans and White Lies: The Construction of 21st Century American Iconography" – Exploring how fashion, symbols, and cultural references create a modern mythology in her lyrics. With a specific look into Bonnie and Clyde and Fear & Loathing in Las Vegas.

I'd be Honeymoon's Scientist & Lust For Life's Lawyer

Somehow I feel that the motives of God Knows I Tried, Wild One and How to disappear prevail in the album

I’m a tastemaker and location scout for her music videos/ projects while pretending to act like Scarlet Johansson’s Black Widow bc it’d just be a fun vibe to play out Lana, I think this is beautiful, look at it, it’d fit into your artistry bc _______, ________ , ________ . Mood and aesthetic boards for days and days <3

Ooh, it's fart
