My A&W necklace came!! Its so pretty omg I love it so much 
 
I got the 14-16 inch one and I would say it fits perfect choker length, I measured my neck and its about 14 inches and I still have room on the necklace extender thing too
 
The box is a much thinner plastic than I expected, but still cute! 
 
I took some pics of it:

Me wearing it (I tried it on with another necklace to show the length)
 
Also, the pictures don't do the A&W letters justice lol, the gemstones really sparkle and catch the light in person!

I know it would be tough to get tickets but I hope she plays at smaller venues like she did on the NFR tour. I don’t know if I want to do the pit with teens given how people’s concert etiquette has declined since the pandemic. I did it for LA to the Moon and it was a war zone. I also don’t want to be in the 100s at an arena though since I want a good view. 

I just wanna be able to get a drink and buy merch in peace! 

the desire to be barricade (or even in the pit) is waning as i Get Old...did u know i can still be in the seats lookin like a side piece at 27....

I'm ready to spend the money I don't have on things that technically I don't need 

Even tho it’s true that Lana has a lot of red pressings, they’re all unique ❤️  
I know Ocean isn’t red but I wanted to make a comparison
(I just miss the target BTD red)

I walked all over Hollywood today and listened to the album from start to finish. I honestly don't think it's recency bias when I say this might be on its way to becoming my favorite Lana album. It's certainly her most complex. All of her music is cinematic for me, but this album feels almost like watching a movie, not merely just listening to an album. Every single time I listen to it, I'm picking up something new, some new connection or note I haven't caught or instrumentation I didn't notice. The album is a dark, chaotic journey, full of small beautiful moments, devastating lyrics, strange instrumental arrangements that don't go where you expect them to and keep you on your toes, little snippets of sound that aren't repeated but are so captivating I can't stop obsessing (the whistling in Kintsugi!). Lana sings about the darkest experiences of her life with a naked sincerity that breaks my heart into a million pieces; Kintsugi and Fingertips are honestly two of the most painful songs I've ever heard by any artist. But she also revels in the light, too - like on Margaret, which I think is so breathtakingly beautiful and, the main love story aside, also a great reflection on the love we get from friendships, too. There's something so touching to me about the little spoken word parts as well, and that ending waltz instrumentation is getting me every time. The way she captures the full range of human experience in this album, and the shifts in mood and tone in the span of just 16 songs, is really blowing my mind.
 
I think part of the reason this album is hitting me so hard is that I'm in a period of my life where I'm coming out of a years-long mental fog, realizing I haven't actually processed things I thought were over, trying to figure out at almost 34 what I actually want out of life, reflecting on what actually makes a life good and enjoyable, trying to heal from things in the past. This album is cracking me wide open in all the right ways, and I can't quite explain it rationally but I feel the album will be an essential component to my overall healing process. I've read other Lana fans say the same about this album (and her music in general), and that makes me so happy that so many of us get to share in her art.
 
And on a lighter note, thank god for LanaBoards - I don't know how many much more my IRL friends can talk with me about this transformative album before they're like Girl enough....and I get so much joy reading all of the thoughts and opinions and essays other people write on here. Grateful 
 

I definitely have been getting fake vibes but I figured it was just my jealousy  but now reading their update on the post saying their were only twenty five and it was sent to a close friend who then cared so little for it they just gave it away I’m not buying it. And ya certain parts of the signature do look weird 

I just got a full refund  (to be used on Amazon purchases) without returning anything back for Amazon vinyl because it is not light pink  Thank you false advertising, thank you Amazon.

fuck that shit

kinda regret getting this picture disc that just came in the mail… 

This is the experience of being a cover collector

just got back from target, picked up the exclusive CD and vinyl. 
also got an email from my local record store that my indie variant was ready, so picked that one up along with the standard cover vinyl. 
 

 
I only opened the standard black vinyl so far to listen and it sounds great. no static or crackling so far, its clear with a deep bass. 
still waiting on the amazon, white and the picture disc to arrive. (along with all the cds/cassettes)
 
also got really lucky and asked my local shop for a promo poster, and they gave it to me!! 

 
love the album so much, as always it sounds best on vinyl/ or blasting it in the car. 

I got an email yesterday saying they were shipping out the music portions of my order, since the rest of the merch is delayed. "
 
"Your order will now be split so that any music formats will be dispatched on the 24th March, and the remaining merch item(s) you have ordered will ship in May as planned. "

Just listened to the full album on white vinyl with headphones (I got mine from the Italian web store - made in Czech Republic)
 
literally not a single scratch/glitch/problem, it was perfect and way much clearer than on streaming. For all the people complaining about the crackling: yes you can hear it a bit on the more acoustic songs - Sweet, The Grants etc, but that’s completely normal, that’s how a vinyl sounds like (unless you hear it all the time and on top of the song, that’s not normal). The only thing I have to complain about is that side A seems to sound way much lower than on streaming platforms (especially AW I had troubles hearing it even with all the volume up)
 
I’ve even read someone comparing it to Chemtrails….. hell no, my copy of Chemtrails sounds like it was acoustic and this one it’s perfect 
 
anyways I’ve ordered all the variants so as soon as they will arrive here I’ll let you know which one sounds the best
