This was insaaaane and so much fun!! I’m so happy I had phone service when Lana posted her stories that hinted she may be joining Megan, bc for nearly the entire festival I didn’t have service at all lol the universe was once again on my side for that one. The funny thing is my friend and I had originally planned to see Megan’s set when we were mapping out our plans for which acts to see each day, but then this morning decided we were going to skip it to start waiting in the crowd for Reneé Rapp… thank god we didn’t end up doing that or else I would’ve been soooo upset especially since Megan was in our original plans.
The heat was brutal though. The past two days of the festival had been more tolerable as it was mostly cloudy the entire time since it rained overnight both days. The worst bit of the heat today was while waiting for Megan’s set as there was not a cloud in the sky and the sun was beeeaaating down on us. People were fainting before her set began. Thank god I had brought a portable fan and had filled up my water bottle right before we got to her stage! My friend and I got to her stage a little over an hour before her set and were about four rows back for the performance. Megan’s set was so much fun - I hadn’t listened to her music before as I’m not a big fan of country, but she was absolutely stunning and I really enjoyed her songs especially lyrically. She’s a great writer! I’d definitely be open to a collab with Lana.
Lana hit the stage for the last song which a lot of Megan fans were surprised about (I would say 95% of people in the crowd were there for Megan anyway and had no clue about Lana) and she came out looking like an angel as she always does. It was another cute moment of watching her have fun with her friends on stage. I love how much she’s been enjoying herself lately with all these fun adventures! Can’t wait to see what’s next x

Ray Charles and Tracy Chapman Linda Martel and Aimme Lou Harris  

This is so good, it’s scary. I need this sound for Lasso 

The buildup to “Amy Lou Harris she’s a lasso” wow I’m definitely going to wear this song out today.

So Lana released tunnel’s first single on Wednesday, Dec 7, which was exactly 107 days before the album release, if she’s planning to do the same with lasso, the first single should come out on Wednesday, June 5, which is also 107 days before lasso’s release ( if she still plans to release lasso on Sep 20) 

This is so good, it’s scary. I need this sound for Lasso

Let us pray she has this sound for the record at least on a few songs

Scary what AI can do, I wish this was real it’s too good 

I love the theory that the end of a Lana album somewhat predicts what’s to come on the next record whether sonically or the themes she explores in the last few songs. Get Free touches on revealing her true heart and nature which lead us into more diaristic lyrics on Norman and some of her most personal stories ever (not to mention the seagulls and waves which transition perfectly into Norman’s more nautical theme). Norman ends with Hope which I think is her most personal song ever which then transitioned us into COCC where she continued to go deeper and confront her past experiences and trauma that lead her to where she is in her life. Ending with For Free solidified the fact that she does what she does for art’s sake and nothing more. I kind of consider BB a mixtape so I won’t try to bridge the two but ending BB with a song dedicated to her sister and first born niece ties in nicely with exploring her family on Tunnel. I may totally be rambling and making connections where there are none but I would love if Lasso continues the almost patchwork like nature of Peppers and Taco Truck. I’ve had both on repeat the last few days and the two songs blend different samples, sounds and textures (Tommy G sample, the surf rock, VB demo, Trisha monologue) seamlessly. They sort of remind me of songs off Life of Pablo which I’ve always loved for how innovative K*nye weaved so many sounds and switch ups in one song. Plus, they’re just so fun and have this playful energy from Lana I haven’t felt in a while. It seems like she has truly been enjoying herself lately and I think that’s going to be reflective in this album. I think country will be the predominate underlying theme but I could see Lana weaving so many other genres into the album (maybe even multiple genres in one song) to make a really experimental tapestry of an album totally unique to her. 

TLDR I want more songs like Peppers and Taco Truck 
 

Not sure if this was posted:
 
 
 
It's an imaginary (AI) song for Lasso. Honestly, if this was a lead single (with better vocals from Lana), I wouldn't mind this direction at all.
 
It's giving Tarantino, it's giving Kacey Musgraves, Nancy Sinatra, and it's fabulous.

Just wanted y’all to know I have officially submitted the list of proposed questions to Lana’s team for Primavera Sound when we get to interview her and I personally crafted the questions myself and included two about Lasso:
 
You have announced a new country project coming up, called Lasso. What can you tell us about this record and why did you decide to go country?
 
Looking back at your discography, you have always created albums that blended genres and sonorities, in your own unique fashion. Should we expect a similar path for Lasso?
 
Sorry for the boring, corporate questions but this is the best I could come up with without ruffling any feathers in my office lol. If it was entirely up to me, I’d go full LanaBoards and straight up ask her if Zodiac will ever see the light of day, whether or not Lizzy Grant will ever go to streaming, what is her favorite MissDaytona tweet, etc.
 
Not Portugal coming through for this forum when our Alabama sisters have failed us.

Last January I saw a crushed A&W can in a parking lot, and I took a picture of it and took it as a sign it was coming out (it wasn’t announced yet) So I full support this!

I didn't know where exactly to post this, but I went to the mall today to get skincare products and I saw this clothing shop which had a very interesting name!!!!!!! I decided to go full delulu mode and take it as a sign that Lasso will be coming out soon *manifesting*

I thought making a mood board for Lasso would be fun. Praying for that gothic, backwoods, forbidden w-word, western vibe 

Really wishing for a summer album. I know it’s not going to happen but I miss having a new Lana album to soundtrack my summer / make memories with. It’s been too long 

Why doesn’t the big Lana eat the little Lana?

Just popping in before I go to sleep for the night to say the show was incredible from an attendee perspective. This was my 19th show of hers, so I really enjoyed all of the surprise guest performances as a nice switch up. You could tell how much fun Lana was having with everyone and was really enjoying herself on stage! Her vocals were absolutely incredible, perhaps some of the best I’ve seen in person from her shows I’ve attended. Looked beautiful. Talked to the crowd more than normal which was so cute. She was so happy to be back in Alabama and it showed.
Also, this performance appealed to the non-stans in the crowd as well. I didn’t try for barricade (I knew I wouldn’t survive it in this Alabama heat & humidity) and got to Lana’s set about 3 hours before she got onstage, so I was quite a few rows back but still had a pretty decent view since I was right by the middle barricade. I was surrounded by some people who weren’t super stans and they really enjoyed the set. I also brought my friend to the show who is just a casual listener (she really only listens to Born to Die & NFR occasionally, mostly bc of my influence lol) and she loved it. It was her first Lana show and right after it ended she said “I didn’t really understand the obsession with Lana until now. Something about seeing her live really makes her music hit different. Watching her was mesmerising. I see it now - Lana is America’s princess.” As soon as we got back to the hotel, she immediately ordered a LDR flag from Amazon and started reading up on her Wikipedia lol.
So, it was a great set especially for a festival crowd even if a few songs had to be cut. However, this has made me realise I am getting way too old for festivals loool it seemed like my friend and I were among the oldest there (apparently this is a festival popular among college kids which we are not) and whew my old knees are not what they used to be looool. Currently feeling so much ache from the knees down and my head is throbbing lmaooo but I’m excited for Chappell Roan tomorrow & Reneé Rapp on Sunday!! Goodnight LanaBoards xx

I just listened to American Jesus, I counted like 30 references to BTD/PE songs. Instead of making some shitty post about being copied and imitated, Lana recognised her impact, saw a bit of herself in that girl,  and bought her out on stage. She showed us a kind, humble woman. The way BTD is still impacting all these artists after all these years and it was so heavily panned at the time is so inspiring. The way BTD’s working title was “The Revenge of LDR” feels so apt as an OG in this heyday we’ve found ourselves in. Life imitates art indeed.I think this truly might be the peak for us. The last couple of years have been crazy, and through it all she’s still helping the others up. She’s a one of a kind. And I’m glad she seems to be enjoying her revenge.
