Just the cover alone this looks like a nice collectible. If you live over there buy 5 and hold on to them.

I fell asleep and now I actually have to go to bed. Did I just read on Lana's IG the word's "Reparation To Blacks" and "The city where my father was born"? No disrespect but I feel the need to hide under my covers. Good night, till tomorrow.

Coffee Spilled Darkly Over The Mask

On the good news front. My new car (lease) does not have a cd player. But I put the album on my IPod plugged it and SUCCESS!! Very pleased.

Exactly. It's perfectly fine to enjoy a full week of a release AND be upset about something someone wrote about you. If she waited just a bit to post it might come off a bit less unhinged.

https://www.harpersbazaar.com/culture/art-books-music/a35311661/lana-del-rey-appropriation/ This is the article she was referencing. I seriously think she has some stability issues. She just released her record and now she puts this post out. I don't know it is so unfortunate to me. She has been very famous for a long time now. I am not saying it's easy but her public outbursts due to her hyper sensitivity may not end well. I feel bad. I genuinely hope she gets some help.

My sources say it will be released on a Friday and New Zealand will be first.

That is a great shot.

She said she was or had been nervous. Hopefully she can decompress a bit.

She was just live! I was on for the last couple of minutes!

Lana tweeted the video and I tweeted, "Yay Lana" Just sayin

Not sure if this was posted but the entire album is on YouTube on Lana Del Rey official. I don't know if that's the best marketing move but it does scream, "What the hell". You go girl.

2 outstanding quotes from this. "You can't fire Lana Del Rey; she quits" And "the singer has seemed alternately like the most and least media-savvy musician in pop."

Well it's almost here! I have to work tomorrow and can't really listen to the download until after work. I will get the CD tomorrow night or Saturday. I want to avoid listening to it on YouTube. I know a bunch of people will have the whole album on in no time. Bastards! Give it a week at least. I know it is difficult but don't worry about the reviews so much. Remember they are reviewing Lana not you. I don't need confirmation from the web to be a fan. Lana is critic proof. Over time her fan base has grown and grown. When people listen to her voice it's WOW. We are the hot molten core of that fan base. I'm ready for a little cool down. I sometimes get so lost in the Lana's drama or Lanaboards that I forget what it's all about. Then I listen to Lana sing and it all comes back to me.

Where is Lana now? Probably drinking a vanilla malt at some local diner in anywhere USA. That's where I'd be.

I'd like to blame it on covid but even covid free the mess would remain.

You said release so many times I feel like I've been saved. Great work Elle and mods.

I'm going to bed. And when I wake I'll know this thread has less than 18 hours to live. So sad yet so beautiful.

I'll be glad when it's here. It's been a long, draining ride. Like the never, ever, ever, ending story. Next album Wolves Under the Wigwam

I don't know if I want normal. Normal for Lana is, "And another thing, it was originally going to be called Born to Dye. To call out the artifice in society. But I knew even back then that I would be misunderstood. I'M STILL MISUNDERSTOOD DAMMIT". OK Lana calm down, have some coffee and pet your cat. We love you.

I don't know she may have felt pressure to post or do more promotion. She's saying this is it see ya on the flip side.

Daylight Savings Time starts tomorrow! We turn the clocks ahead an hour so we lose an hour. That means next Thursday at midnight it would have been 11:00 so we are actually getting the album an hour earlier! I'm melting.

No spoiler required! I just pre ordered on Apple/ITunes. Yay.

Congratulations Chuck. ❤ I guess we're all cousins sort of. One big dysfunctional family.

One week left!! In the words of Rebecca Black
