Beautiful Loser

You can post original art too, if you'd like! My threads are dead because uni courses took up most of my time and I spent my time on other things since graduating this summer. ^^'

I just pre-ordered this 2000 limited colored vinyl! https://blood-records.co.uk/products/tldp?vvsa_consumer_id=38450760&vvsa_tracking=_vvsa_vhWRrnuF566308

@The Sun Also Rises … Do you have an art thread and if yes, why haven’t I seen it??

I don’t have the energy to nominate this year, I’ll just vote if that’s alright.

Not the return of deluluking

That time a car almost run over me as I was crossing the road (I had a green light) and listening to Born To Die. And I thought how sad and funny it’d be if my iPod crashed together with me and the car and if anyone would check the iPod and they’d see that BTD was the song I’d been playing and what they’d think of that, or of me lol. When I played through the BTD album aloud just to make sure if I’d like it before going to the record store to buy it, and Ride was playing and I remember my dad liking it and seemed impressed by it. I’d like to think he’d like more of her music if he was still alive today. God knows I tried: walking to campus in the winter/spring mornings and listening to the line sometimes I wake up in the morning to red, blue, and yellow skies and literally seeing that sky in front of me. Summer Bummer: the premiere on radio, that I had tuned in to while cooking pasta for dinner and being hyped on LB, haha. Get Free: I listened to the song almost daily at one point after lectures, more or less gaslighting myself that things were getting better. I wanted to get out of the black and into the blue so badly. Mariner’s apartment complex: when I walked down to the harbor to watch the ferry’s and boats, it felt like I was in the music video, hehe.

The moment Michael Corleone sees Apollonia.

Cliché drama series… inside IKEA?? Sign me up!

Unfortunately I haven’t, I’ve been wanting to go a couple of years but didn’t want to/couldn’t spend that money at the time. I have no idea how fast tickets sell out but I doubt it’s as fast as some concert tickets sell out sometimes? Sorry for not having any good answers. :/

Most are trash but I’ve read a few that made me wanna cry, so there are some gems out there! But yeah, no, that Sean fiction sounds awful as well.

I generally don’t mind fan fictions but when they’re about real people… I don’t know. It just feels wrong. I don’t remember how but I came across some account on instagram that has a fanfic, I think it must’ve been on my “for you” page and the picture seemed interesting enough for me to take a close look, and this account has a fanfic about Lana and Harry Styles. I was like, “let’s see how awful this really is” and found the author’s tumblr page and they’ve made posters and Bill Skarsgård is in it too?? And I thought Lana’s character in this story was as Mary from the Bible but it’s not, and of course I had to ignore the description and actually read the awfulness too. Lana’s character is called Carmen, I think, and she’s Harry’s “Carmiña” and he’s pretty much a pimp and convinces Lana to join his strip club (really a place for awful men to pick any girl he wants and have absolutely brutal “sexy times” with them), and Harry seems mental too. I don’t really know much about him, I’ve only heard a couple of songs on the radio, but I get the sense that the writer has only used his name for the fic because I doubt he’s even an ounce of deranged as he is in the story. Fair, it’s fiction but… nah. I had to stop there because it was too cringe and just awful. Someone had too much time on their hands to write a gruesome, brutal smut fanfic about real, living people, it should never have been published.

I wanted to see her at Bråvalla but I was 18 and didn’t want to go alone (and knowing my parents, they wouldn’t have let me), and then I later found out one of my (then) friends I knew since childhood had gone with her new bestie.

You’re gonna love them live on stage!

Nothing really, just that miss Lana is clearly having another European festival summer (sigh) and delusional me thinks she occasionally visits Sweden when she does (Bråvalla 2014, Lollapalooza 2019). The European shows this year seem to have been planned very last minute, aside from the UK shows, so if she’s coming back, I think it’s possible she’ll make a return to Sweden too. I think Lolla Stockholm has an economic crisis after last year, so my bet is that the Way Out West festival will snatch miss Lana if they can. She’s more popular now than ever, I don’t think they wanna miss her out if she’s interested in coming.

Don't worry, I'm 90% sure one of the biggest festivals here in Sweden will announce something sooner or later, maybe Norway will be lucky to have her revisit again too. But yes, poor Eastern Europe. u___u and I'm still salty that she keeps coming back for festivals and not a proper tour here in Europe

Oopsies not both of us hyping her up

I’ll DM her on Insta

Really good article by NME that was published a couple of days ago: https://www.nme.com/features/the-cover/the-cover-the-last-dinner-party-interview-prelude-to-ecstasy-3552625?fbclid=PAAaYQ0y7ErEA3Quuor-lTvx27XnI1jqB1nwmrHC_s0LNbkHmIkIuJYvuFIMU_aem_AW7yUS_Tk7kFQ_70BbsBRFH61QT-0cZzKi7EJeVItK9dITZ8UKAxcm8xwZGhb5vjX4Q

Oh. Well I’m kinda glad she didn’t put too much effort into this since we didn’t get a video for A&W.

Anyone wanna bother with posting screenshots of Lana, I’m not interested enough to watch the full video.

Thanks everyone, I definitely recommend everything you mentioned too! It was definitely legit then, I was starting to get worried lol!

Good good, I forgot that they actually followed the account too. And that the village sold signed albums, I was reminded of that as I went through this thread.

I keep forgetting about this. Finally listened to it now. Like mer said, the lyrics aren't it. Am I stupid or is he singing about his university and reminiscing college days or? Aside from that, I think it sounds pretty nice though, it might be something I would've added to a chill playlist on Spotify and eventually forget about.

The more I try to remember how this all started... like... were we ever 100% sure this was legit? I can't remember if I signed up for LDR Village emails or if they were sent out because I'm subsribed to Lana's news letters. Elle had contact with the owner regarding discounts and the DLC jacket? I remember Lana showing up to the surf shop, but not LDR Village events? I think Rob attended one just last year though. I went back in the comments in this thread and found an image of a card claiming that Interscope was behind the business, so I guess it was legit? I think Lana or Ben must've advertised it on Instagram but I honestly can't remember? Can anyone help me out? I'm just doing some research for the petition, haha.

I can set up a petition to sign that I can later send to Tap Management? Because this truly is unacceptable.
