Another helpful clue may be: how often has Lana been seen wearing her own merchandise in the past?

Are you 100% sure of that, that the Etsy people were copying the one she’s wearing? And the same, i assume, with t-shirts? Do you think Locals Only leased their design, with some alterations, to her and her merchandising team? Doesn’t it seem more likely her team could come up with its own design? It’s not as if the LO design is extraordinary. Maybe someone should contact Locals Only. Thank you.

Maybe the universe has been playing us a joke and it means Do Not Confuse, as in, do not confuse as something else or as something significant.

And since the jacket is for sale online on Etsy and others, and a T-shirt as well, why not write the sellers and ask them where the acronym ‘DNC’ originated?

Perhaps it was ‘future music’ at one point, like one of the many then-new songs she cut from BB when it changed direction. Maybe before the change, what we know as BB was Del Norte County. How do we know it was custom made?

Or maybe her merchandising team did create it, and DNC was a song cut from NFR!, COCC, or BB. I said that months ago, though, at least six months ago, and more than once.

Why not Democratic National Committee? Doesn’t LDR profess to be a Democrat, and she comes from a likely Democrat family, as 80% of people in New York State are? That’s what DNC means to most people in America.

Yes, that means there are more happy people and Lana fans on the planet and that’s a good thing for everyone.

Yup, and that’s the only BB track besides the interlude that I don’t care for (and the interlude because I’ve known the original for over a decade). I don’t mind the refrain on BB, but the choruses, with their name-dropping, seem to have been written too casually.

I still have not taken to it; I am glad so many are. I’d go even further, though I do not consider a lot of the NFR! songwriting great or very good either.

What is the ‘concept’? of NFR?

We have to think 'outside the box' and not seek it through the multiple usual channels, I think he means.

is there any new hard tea?

Why thank you. I do think LDR entered the Tori Amos category, and approached the Joni Mitchell category, with ‘Swan Song,’ ‘13 Beaches,’ ‘Heroin,’ ‘Hope,’ and ‘WFWF.’

I’m anxious for a second track to have something more to judge the whole with. If I get 3-4 songs I really like, I’m happy.

It sure looks as if it would be. If we keep searching for that image, someone may have posted it without realizing it or without knowing they should not have.

Thank you so much. ❤️

With all this data coming out, can OB make it to 3/10 without leaking?!

SORRY. I thought that SayYrsToHeaven was legit.

Track list on IG.

Who remembers actual candy necklaces? Are they still made? I haven’t seen one for years.

That's why I feel we'll get more singles before it drops. With Christmas, New Year's, and the other winter holidays ahead, people's minds--maybe not ours--will be on other things and activities, and then at least in a good part of the world in the upper hemisphere, winter sets in and is long and grueling, even if relatively mild. It's isolating and you're stuck indoors, for the most part, even if you enjoy winter sports. People get depressed and restless. So to keep the momentum going, teasing us with data and then dropping a single, say, in mid-January and another at the end of February seems like something Lana and her team may do.

I also prefer, greatly, 'Arcadia,' but: 'OB' is a completely different animal from 'Arcadia.' 'OB' expresses universal feelings of sadness, loneliness, isolation, and loss, whereas 'Arcadia' is an almost purely personal statement, especially towards the end, when she speaks about the way she's been treated, and why she's leaving. 'Arcadia' is many times more positive and self confident, otherwise she wouldn't be describing her body in that manner. I do wish she had said 'breasts' instead of 'chest.' I'm with you. There's no reason to call another's opinion 'tasteless.'

I think one or two more singles will drop and then the track list will come the week of 3/10 or on that day.
