I honestly think mainstream Republicanism has now developed into a new subset of “Trumpianism” where the latter is gaining more traction than what Republicanism might have used to be. The last Republican in office was Trump, so it’s not hard to see why the phrase “conservative” has invariably evoked Trumpian ideology when proudly worn in popular culture (I’m thinking of a lot of conservative women influencers like Blaire White, HRH Collection, Alex Clark from Poplitics, Hannah Pearl Davis, and of course the many people who are part of PragerU). In the last 4 years I have been stunned at the prevalence of it—especially post-pandemic and post-January 6—and I will truly be shocked if America reverts back.

Born to Die singlehandedly changed my life - and that’s not an exaggeration, I really mean that. It’s unfathomable that one album could be a gateway to so many beautiful things in life…🌹

I think it’ll be fun for Lasso to have some more traditional country songs and then a few speedboosts like this song, if it is indeed on the album as the ATRL outsider said it might be. Ocean Blvd is largely defined by lyrical ballads and yet the last three tracks don’t feel out of place - so I could see this being worked into it for sure. The guitars certainly sound like some of the more rustic, “Americana” production elements of her 2011-2015 discography. 

I wonder if it’s McCreary County where she’s going to meet the people and have breakfast with them 

I feel like country music in the mainstream cultural conscience is over now…it had its moment earlier this year and was Lana’s chance to “ride the wave”, so to speak (even though she’s had her finger on the pulse, saw the country hype coming well in advance, and never needs to adhere to the trends in music), but now the window of country being the thing is kind of done. I guess she’s caught onto that - and the longer she DOESN’T release the album, the more time she has to tweak it. And life has certainly happened since she announced the record in January! So I’m imagining that songs addressing things that have happened for her since then exist. 
 
It’s kind of like how everyone was wearing cowboy boots a few years ago and it was a little fashion trend. I feel like nobody cares that much about cowboy boots anymore - at least not as much as they did in 2021, for example.

Baby, this is Lizzy Grant! Swinging by the local late-night diner to grab a milkshake & grilled cheese (which is apparently what she ordered) is quintessential LG x

It is! Whitley City is a city with a population of under 1000 located within McCreary County

Tonight, Lana Del Rey met some fans while at Dairy Bar in Whitley City, Kentucky.
Earlier this year, Lana revealed that she wished to visit McCreary County, an area of Kentucky in which Whitley City is located, while accepting an Ivor Novello Award.

This album actually changed my life and means so much to me…I’ll love it forever. Also the era I joined this site which is fun! Happy birthday 🌼🍒🪐💫🪽

I'm not sure, but the name "Lasso" could possibly be a reference to the country rock album title Lasso from El Paso by Kinky Friedman. It's connected to Bob Dylan and some other known artists like Eric Clapton and Ringo Starr. The album was recorded at Shangri-La studios in Malibu, where also the vocals for Ride were recorded.
 

This song always had a bit of 80's flair to me and they cranked it up. I love 

The crossover of my dreams! Soon-to-be-legendary band Fontaines D.C. have covered Say Yes To Heaven for BBC Radio 1 in their Live Lounge  The band have spoken before about how much they admire Lana and would love to work with her.
 
Thoughts? Personally I love the grungy, shoegazey vibe of this cover, though I can imagine it's not to everybody's taste!
