Yes, same! Doin Time’s video was released on the 29th, just 12 hours before the entirety of NFR came out so I’m thinking this as well. ooh, this would be a fun little Easter egg! I’m excited! <3

I wonder if her posting the teaser today in particular means that the video is coming in 20 days, on the same day as the album? Not that it particularly means anything but she posted the teaser for the Chemtrails video 20 days before it came out!

Ah, I missed our excitement turning into “well, it’s over” upon being debunked - all within seconds on the same page of this nonsensical thread.

Awwww, hiii you are always so sweet <3 I’m so glad you’re here too!!

I don’t know about that writer’s validity, but he wrote for Flash Art Magazine, which is a legit, credible magazine, so it’s possible they know something! Elle (the magazine, not our queen ) also said Hope is a Dangerous Thing would be the 3rd track to be released from NFR in October 2018, 3 months before it even came out. Hopefully tomorrow it’s coming!

Sunshine!

I'm here now! I missed all the craziness of White Dress not being released and it seems like the aftermath of that has settled down, so I'll just say YAY to there only being 21 days left until the whole album is released, and probably a week or two until White Dress! I could totally see her putting the single out on the 5th or 12th, and then maybe the video during the week of March 15th-19th! Either way, everything is coming soon so "look how [we] got this " - let's just keep trudging on! <3

I was thinking about it, and now that we know that Lana sings “white hot forever” during the chorus of Tulsa Jesus Freak, I wonder if the song actually was titled the words she teased in her IG post and Tik Tok from July 2020, “Tulsa Jesus Freak: White Hot Forever” - much like how she changed “White Dress/Waitress” to White Dress? Makes sense to me, and hopefully solves the mystery of what she meant by grouping what we thought were two tracks at the time!

I love this so much! <3 this gets me all the more excited (as if that was even possible). March 19th cannot come sooner enough. This album is going to floor us!

It definitely is a sadder song for sure, I agree! I was thinking more instrumentally - I too think Yosemite will be a bit brighter in tone but will share some mellow elements with Fade Into You! I'm so excited <3 I love this song so much, I would die! I love Mazzy Star's sound so much. When I first heard Hope Sandoval's voice, I was reminded of Lana, so I could totally see her going in a direction sonically similar to Give You My Lovin and Fade Into You I cannot wait!

Right now, I'm imagining Yosemite to sound like Fade Into You by Mazzy Star! There's a prominent acoustic guitar, keyboard, and tambourine in that song and we know Yosemite has those 3 instruments! The mood of Fade Into You is also nostalgic and at times, very saccharine while still being bittersweet, so I could see Yosemite sounding similar!

35 days! feels so surreal now that we have the Mojo magazine cover and White Dress hopefully coming in 14 days!

I feel the same way! I also think the fact that I never really thought about what the cultural landscape looked like in relation to Lana as her records were released helped with that. I know a lot of people associate Born to Die with Tumblr, for example, but I just never happened to be on Tumblr, so the presumed-outdatedness of that didn't affect how I listened to the album. And to be honest, I'm really grateful that I didn't participate too much in whatever was 'hot' in the culture because I'm not sure if I would be able to develop the discerning ear that allows me to pull back and really just appreciate the music for what it is without the 'white noise' that can make music feel dated. I love how Lana is able to dip her toe into various trends and genres while still making the music characteristically her own - and timeless, of course! <3

I know you didn’t say that. Again, I said that I wasn’t speaking about anyone in general. Yes, the way this thread was going was in that direction, but I also said that people are entitled to their opinion. And I didn’t say that it damages the positive feeling, it’s just a tired shtick that infiltrates the threads and if you’re in the thread already, well it’s not ever fun to read a brash take. I’m not saying this at you btw because I actually enjoy your presence on this site!

I know no one asked, but all I have to say is that people aren’t obligated to buy or not buy something. We don’t have to go around telling people what or what not to buy, as well as continually criticize something. I feel like a lot of people on here love to critique (and that’s fine, they’re entitled to that) but sometimes that’s ALL I see from people and it kind of ruins the camaraderie, especially if it’s unprovoked and it’s shared when people are excited about something and are just discussing among themselves. No shade to anyone particular, just saying. Hope everyone has a good day!

Honeymoon vs. Ultraviolence

Venice Bitch vs. West Coast

Shades of Cool vs. Freak

Shades of Cool vs. Sad Girl

Guns n Roses vs. Angels Forever

The alt cover and shot of Chuck and Charlie look like Polaroid to me, which I feel makes the most sense since a lot of Neil’s work is shot on Polaroid and that’s essentially his brand (and these pics have the same quality to them as the Summer Bummer shoot, which we know was on Polaroid from the BTS IG story he shared of her in 2017)!

Interior design

That’s such a difficult one! But lately I’d say.. I Talk to Jesus vs. Living Legend

Chemtrails Over the Country Club!
