LOVE

I can't believe anyone is mad about this union. This man is behind this project and particularly this song: So on brand for Lanz idc idc....If Jack Donaghue can yank us out of the Jack Antonoff era with his esoteric veiny death grip– I might just renew my stan card.

its the album we needed in this godawful year

we would like to see it maybe more vintage-camp on top of the grunge though.

Norman Fucking Rockwell - 9 Mariners Apartment Complex - 11 Venice Bitch - 10 Fuck it I Love You -11 Doin' Time - 10 Love Song - 10 Cinnamon Girl -12 How to Disappear - 10 California - 10 The Next Best American Record - 7 (-) The Greatest - 11 Bartender - 9 (+) Happiness is a Butterfly - 10 hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - 10

th--and i cannot emphasize it enough--is

unpopular opinion 2 the only song of the untouchable 5 i like is angels forever dont come for me if you see me singing along to the other ones though

this is it for me. i cannot deny lana had a real point to her post, but in the convos ive had with people outside of this forum i feel like i have to pretend that she didnt make a point about internalized misogny (twofold, perhaps). but theres simply no way to convince the whiners on twitter. most of them made up their mind about lana a long time ago anyways. it's a shame to see her lose casual listeners through this debacle though

derailing from the obvious hot topic but the new unreleased leaks we've been getting are subpar compared to the OG leaks. i dont think lana's post-BTD unreleased are all that good except for BAR demo

banned for 2012 lana in 2020

ok i might have to restan if she fumbles her bag with a title that conjures such a vivid, poignant image then it's truly over but i have hope (and it's a dangerous thing with this woman........ still a bit bitter about the NFR aesthetic)

i think an album of spoken word >>> poetry book when it comes to lana idk but her typewriter poems always look so sloppy and read clunky to me. her vocal cadence carries the work so much further than just written word alone i want violet / iron gates to drop as a double feature

yall have some impressive collections!!! idk what it is but vinyl is so satisfying to the eye and touch. im relaxed looking at pictures/gifs of them

so i noticed there's that one user's welcome thread focusing on their vinyl collection, and i was thinking "huh i wonder if LB has a thread dedicated to vinyl enthusiats" and shockingly....it does not i've been collecting records for nearly two years now (and i have the complete lana discog + AKA, not counting special edition/picture disk releases). maybe i'll post pictures later but that's a lot of work for right now feel free to discuss vinyl here, audiophiles to aesthetes, and drop pictures of your setups and/or collections! **no elitism please. there is enough of that on r/vinyl**

i think the main point that people are trying to get at is that lgbt movies are so often sad or taboo in some way, so Love Simon is very important in reminding the world--hey, our narrative isn't all depressing!! while it's true gay folks throughout history haven't had the most stellar endings, and that shouldn't be ignored in our media, that doesn't mean we shouldn't be allowed a teen romcom with a pure ending. and honestly, i'm tired of the gay experience being made into an Art House type of genre... lgb kids can't entirely relate to CMBYN (and realistically...probably shouldn't in a couple ways). CMBYN is a beautiful story, but it plays into the Tragic Gay™ trope further.....and as a queer kid whose friends are all queer kids, Love Simon was so much more important in the grand scheme, for our age group especially.

oh my god!!! that's crazy elle, the gay stars really aligned the night i saw this movie. that's so incredible.

kjdffhskhg okay so i saw love simon yesterday with my best friend, and we ran into our other two friends who were on a date-- so they sat in the row behind us and i havent seen a romcom in a while so it was really refreshing to not see a "serious" "artsy" movie in theaters and just laugh, and this movie has some really golden funny moments. the plot was really solid too, it warmed my heart to watch an lgbt movie that had a happy ending with no taboos in it (sorry CMBYN) definitely made me think at the end "this is one of those teen movies i'll show my kids someday" and i was at peace with that have any of you gays seen it yet?? it's worth it tbh, i'd say it lived up to the hype based on the novel Simon vs. The Homosapiens Agenda

i dont want LIB or Yosemite. give me marilyn or give me death (or steven mertens' AKA)

dum dum is iconic and beautiful. i heard it for the first time in february but its been on my top 10 unreleased ever since

this shook me to my core

damn you jumped right into the lana spiral quick

og king/queen!

what was the first unreleased Lana song you ever heard? mine was 1949, back in early 2015. i came across it on youtube and was SHOOK that it was lana. keep in mind i didn't know lizzy grant or may jailer even existed yet. i sent it to my then lana-guru friend who said "it's cute. sounds like lizzy grant" and mentally i went "whomst'd've?". to not look like an idiot i googled her and i was SHOOK x2 and replied nonchalantly "yeah, but i'd love if she rerecorded it" (note: this was before i even knew paradise yayo was a revamped AKA yayo. so at least it seemed realistic to said friend) right after that i listened to axl rose husband, and i think serial killer. axl rose husband is still in my top 10 unreleased, but 1949 holds fond memories of that summer for me, depsite it being knocked past #10 by other unreleased tracks i'm so grateful for it though, i would've never gotten as into lana had i not found it! at that point i was still just casual BTD scum with some UV faves, and i probably would have forgotten about lana if i didn't discover her massive unreleased discography. it keeps things very interesting, and i'm also so grateful that it all led me to this community

honestly most of the HM instrumentals. (maybe not The Blackest Day. the instrumental is kinda bland imo) i could listen to the West Coast and SOC instrumentals all day tho from BTD, i adore the instrumentals for Carmen, BTD, and Lolita UV's instrumentals are so lush with the full band
