I think both! A couple have been just singles, but some of the earlier ones like Young and Beautiful and Big Eyes / I Can Fly have been on the soundtrack albums for those respective films.

The opening scene of the season premiere reminded me so much of the Gods & Monsters portion of Tropico and the cinematography of Ride in general. I can definitely see where a brand new, original track from Lana fits into this new season!

Not sure about the soundtrack, but I’d also note that Elvis, being a leaked demo from 2008, likely wasn’t viewed as much of an important song to release compared to a new, fully-produced LDR song.

Hmm…I feel like her song for Euphoria won’t be specific to the point of it being a pure soundtrack song. I could see it functioning similarly to Doin Time, which was intended for Interscope’s Sublime documentary, but doubled as a smash single for NFR — because of the precedent that set, I could see her label wanting to capitalize off of another song that would get increased exposure because of its feature in the show and (likely) has a more “commercial” sound compared to the previous releases. And to kind of “ride the high” of releasing two albums within 7 months, it would make sense to have a lead single be a smashing success — especially in coincidence with BTD’s 10 year anniversary.

I’m wondering if this song is just going to be specifically for Euphoria and released as a part of the official soundtrack, OR if it’s actually a single from the next album and is just being featured in Euphoria as a means to generate more publicity around its release. I’m excited!

When it’s a sultry, dark, synthy, guitar-driven masterpiece with driving drums in the vein of West Coast, Cherry, and Freak

Oh wow…this is totally going to be a dark banger, isn’t it…

Swan Song Pastoral

I’m here for anything, but I have to say — hazy, smoky, gritty, shoegaze-y electric guitars and Lana are a match made in heaven

Ah, I see, thank you for setting the record straight. I never saw any alleged posts myself, so glad to know it’s not true!

Blue Banisters vs. Heroin

I love Father John Misty’s sensibility and sound so I know I’ll love the record, but regardless, Lana’s covers have always sounded like originals — she knows which songs to cover, and knows how to interpret them as her own, so I know we’re in for something good!

I think my favourite FJM records are I Love You, Honeybear and God’s Favourite Customer. The title of the latter is just so clever. So excited for the new album and Lana’s cover <3

This title, “Buddy’s Rendezvous”, sounds very eccentric — I could see it being a jazzier number, or even something a little bit folk-rockier. The title reminds me of something she would have written with TLSP in 2017.

Omg… I see you girl…bringing sultry surf glam to the Lipsters this year!

Also voted! Can’t wait to cheer on my faves at the ceremony! @Elle let’s coordinate outfits this time so we don’t accidentally show up in the same gown like last year

Also so happy to see @cherri get recognized for her gorgeous art! I haven’t seen her in a bit but her spirit and art live on and on and on And my absolute fav @rightofjupiter nominated for underrated member Let’s make sure a win sees her become rated a little more than just “under” in the years to come

@Elle And thank you for the nominations! Although I will say, I’m surprised you are not sick of me after last year’s Lipsters…please let @Surf Noir @Super Movie @Alison by Slowdive @PatentLeatherDoOver and @Elle sweep this year, do not vote for me I also see some of my favs have been snubbed…again!

I thought “fuck you, Kevin” was a reference to her ex-bassist who apparently shaded her on social media in 2020? I don’t remember seeing any post as such, so it could be fake news lol, but Kevin was definitely part of the band until he was absent on the NFR tour. Edit: never mind — confirmed false

@Surf Noir better sweep the awards, she has held this website together in its driest times for at least two years in a row and still hasn’t been recognized by the Lipsters to the extent she deserves!

Thinking about the themes of LFL — I really love the way she contrasts the sentiments of Yosemite to the original version of The Next Best American Record. We did it for fun, we did it for free When I was young till eternity versus You did it all for fame Tell me how life treats you now that it’s over That direct parallel between doing things for the joy of them vs. doing things for the commercialization of it all, and then going on to characterize the former as timeless and withstanding time, but the latter as eventually having an expiration date (being “over”), is genius. I am fully convinced that—as much as I love the final album—whatever vision she had for LFL when the title track was that first version of TNBAR would have been her most lyrically and existentially poignant following the themes of Honeymoon. This record probably would have directly confronted her stance as an artist, and as a famous person.

I forgot how much I loved this song, how intelligent the lyrics are, and how glorious the production is.

Lol! You guys are welcome for that title, by the way originally it was “Liz, I’m Calling from Calihoma”, as she and Sean used to make a port-manteau out of “California” and “Oklahoma” (which has a nice ring to it) but I guess everyone misread it—and now keeps campaigning for it— as “Liz, I’m Calling from California”

Honeymoon Regal

Omg I’ve missed you!
