kitschesque

Best american record was so iconic though hoping this is a placeholder title kinda like how love was registered as Young In Love

BAR cannot become Architecture I will sue

Remember when checking this thread for news was a thing

There has always been an extra video forever. Why do we keep pettifogging it

this has come up every month since west coast, it's a live performance from BTD or something it's not new

bcuz some older unreleased songs are better than her newer songs and some older demos deserve to be fleshed out into final works. lana has also incorporated old songs in her newer releases: paradise's yayo, old money, and even high by the beach references PMIAM. so anything is possible.

I just want her to get on TV because she looks so FUCKING GOOD i want all these fads on the top 40 rn to be left shook and disoriented
 
My favorite verse from the Bible

no thanks

I'm a hairstylist and today I had this like 70 year old guy in my chair. We got to talking about music and he asked who my favorite artist is. I replied with the obvious answer and he said he just randomly downloaded Ultraviolence the other day and liked it. Told him to download Love and look out for the new album! Doing my part lol

I thought best american record was a bad title but then I heard hopeless fountain kingdom

There is absolutely nothing wrong with wanting Lana to be more active in terms of providing more than just bare minimal effort for her fans, and it certainly doesn't mean she has to "sell out." No one is saying she owes us anything. It is, however, disappointing to be fans of someone who literally does almost nothing beyond just dropping the album and releasing a few subpar music videos. Yes, the music is great and lovely and at the end of the day we will all listen to it, but it quickly runs dry.
 
Lana doesn't care for being mainstream, and I don't blame her after what she went to, nor would it suit her either. However!! Not being mainstream doesn't mean she should literally just scrape by with doing almost nothing. Lana should take advantage of being on such a large label and use their resources to craft eras that she feels comfortable with.
 
For example, she hates singing live television -- why not record a few intimate performances of your favourite songs off the album and post them on Youtube periodically throughout the year? Just her and the band.
 
She doesn't like extensive & exhausting promotion -- you don't want to appear on TV mopping the floor with Jimmy Fallon, fine, we get it. Why not just host a few livestreams that last more than 30 seconds so your fans can see/interact with you??
 
Interviews depress you & make you want to kill yourself because the questions are always dumb and passive aggressive -- why not do a Q/A with your fans where you get to pick the exact questions you want to answer?
 
Lana seems to really like the process of actually making the album and then quickly loses interest in it almost immediately to move on to the next one. Why not document the entire album recording process, showing us how she crafts each song, talking about the history/meaning behind each one...
 
Idk. There's lots of things she can do to make the fan experience a whole lot better + remain completely comfortable in LA going to work or the coffee shops. The fact also remains that she won't maintain her popularity/sales at this level of effort and will quickly lose the ability to even make the kind of music she really wants to.
 
wow this ended up so long this is what happens when u go on lanaboards to distract u from midterms 

The fact that the Cash Me Outside Remix is the song right above Love on the Billboard 100 

Lol the fact that she had to listen to Green Light right after the livestream

buying her shit doesn't mean she suddenly owes you more shit... you buy a sandwich at the deli and expect them to start bringing in ur fav sandwich recipes or something? to start advertisiting more around town cause you want everyone to know how good their sandwiches are? wyd... edited for unnecessary cattiness

I don't even get why you all act as if it would be a fans duty to care for an artists success and try to buzz up their sales. If the artist herself does not care for promoting her stuff, she won't start doing it just because Love gets some extra streams

LET US NOT FORGOT THIS IS COMING TOO. they filmed a video just a few days ago.
 

 
2017 is the year of xcx

are you kidding me I CAN'T!!! TAKE!! THIS!!!!!!!!!

Yeah the show was AAAAAMAZING she is such a great vocalist. Not a single dud on that setlist either!!! I hadn't heard Running or Dreams yet, and they both sound great. Dreams could end up being in the race for SOTY when it finally comes out!!!!!! also Genesis is still >>>>>>>>>>>>
 
PS shoutout to @drewby and @Elle queen of LB herself for being awesome and hanging while we waited to meet Dua!
 

Haven't laughed at anything non-funny in a long, long time
Maybe because thats 100% true?? This song approved world peace, went to college for me, cleared my pores & keeps Africa hydrated

Shades of cool is something Lizzy would be truly proud of. That is the greatest compliment Lana's nowadays projects can get.

lets be realistic. shes not gonna do promo for love

It's crazy to me how well the Love music video is doing. Still getting over 1M views per day after 2 weeks. No other LDR video ever had this much buzz when released.
I honestly think the song still has potential to be a sleeper hit. Gagie's Million Reasons even dropped out of the charts at one point but with some good promo it became a top5 hit, it may seem like Lana and her team have already forgotten about the song but I believe they're just following the original schedule and promo may come at the end of the month and the song still has potential to be successful.
 
For anyone wondering successful doesn't necessarily mean for it to be a mainstream and for Lana to be a sold out. It means the song is well received and gets praised by the general public.
Yall so concerned about Lana being happy, but wouldn't she be happier to see her music is being appreciated after being so heavily criticized in the past ?

Imagine a bright vibrant psychedelic era with lots of crazy visuals and experimental vocals like in Stargirl with dreamy guitar solos
Ultraviolence but colored & positive

The way Bill plays guitar :awkney:
