Well, I know it’s a disappointment for some of you, but I for one am glad that the UO exclusive is the yellow vinyl from her store since I was so stressed about it selling out before I bought one skkk. Plus I had $5 off in UO rewards points that were expiring in 2 days that I applied to the vinyl! Now I can finally sleep at night, the past two nights were tough xx

Old Money vs Once Upon a Dream

I’m still hoping for a video for Blue Banisters, especially since she teased that clip of it.. if not, this will be her only album without a video for the title track! x

I actually think it's sort of funny how this whole thing played out because I organise my unreleased collection into multiple albums structured sonically, and on one of my unreleased albums I have a track run that goes Wild One, Nectar of the Gods, Cherry Blossom, Living Legend, Fine China. Imagine if this actually had ended up happening for Blue Banisters! My tracklist got pretty close though as Blue Banisters has a run of Nectar of the Gods, Living Legend, and Cherry Blossom, and I know at least Fine China was considered (don't remember about Wild One.) So, I predicted this pretty closely ages ago! Totally taking partial creds x

God I hope not I swear if we have to go straight from a Post-Release to a new Pre-Release again for 3rd time.. I just don't know what I'll do x

Imagine being the admin of a Lana Del Rey fansite during pre-release era... swear I didn't breathe at all yesterday

Kali has just announced her own clothing line Bodied by Uchis! x

It's okay, no worries! We won't give a Warning Point for that sort of thing, but we'll just go in an edit it instead. We reserve the red text for important messages and mod notes! x Here they are in case you need a quick refresher! x

In the context of this song, I believe she's referring to Chuck when she says "Chicken's running barefeet" as this is a known nickname to her, and Jenny is referring to Jen Stith her best friend but the fact we needed this vocabulary checksheet for the title track is hilarious to me x

I don’t think anyone has pointed it out yet, but I think this photo Lana posted on Instagram back in June is from the same day she filmed Arcadia! If you look closely, she’s wearing the same jewelry (both necklace and rings), the same sweater (you can tell by the ribbed texture), the same nail style, and her hair is styled the same way!

Wish this was me at least I managed to secure the white one after I panic bought the rest of the things after miss yellow sold out skkk x

The hold Lana has on both me and my wallet.. okay I’m gonna try to sleep and dream beautiful dreams about a yellow vinyl restock

I’m unfortunately too cheap to pay for international shipping FLDNSK I’m just hoping for a restock… won’t sleep easy until it does tho

Can’t sleep thinking about the yellow vinyl that sold out before I purchased it……….. it’s 4am send help x

I think he’s just joking here..?

Well, who's their professor? their bio states CSUN - California State University Northridge, brb looking through faculty list x

You're so sweet to ask! I was in such a spin earlier today between keeping track of multiple threads, approving a slew of new members, making sure the site didn't crash, etc. that I totally didn't comment on much! Arcadia is gorgeous. I've had the intro verse stuck in my head constantly ever since she posted the initial snippet back in July, and I'm so happy to have finally heard the rest. The lyrics are super strong and creative and the melody is just heavenly. She's truly telling her story. The video is also incredible.. I would actually consider it one of her best! It's a happy medium somewhere between homemade and high budget, which I love so much and think is perfect for the song. It's such an intimate moment just dancing around with Lana at the Hilton Hotel (in many of which I have also stayed and danced in, so I related) She looks gorgeous in the video and I love the ending.. plus it birthed two new iconic LanaBoards emotions! The tracklist has me super excited. Although, I wanna take partial credit for predicting this ages ago because I have Lana's unreleased songs divided into multiple unreleased albums based on sound, and in one of the albums I have a track run that goes Nectar of the Gods, Cherry Blossom, and Living Legend. This is essentially what it looks like on Blue Banisters, except the last two tracks are reversed! I'm also super interested to hear the new songs too. This album is shaping up to be one of her best. & all of the album covers are stunning as well - some of her best covers! I must admit, and don't slaughter me for this, I've never been the biggest Neil Krug fan but the cover shoot for Blue Banisters is just perfect. I love all of the covers so far, and I'm looking forward to seeing if there are any further variants for other retailers! Overall, what an exciting day!! I'm always so happy that we can all come together here to celebrate and live in joy over new Lana releases.. in our brand new Pre-Release Thread too!

Oop the white vinyl is now sold out too x

Okay I just booked a $500 acting gig so imma need Lana to restock the yellow vinyl & launch merch pronto

Honestly not going to sleep easy until I have secured a yellow vinyl..... the US store better restock soon is all I'm saying bc I also don't wanna shell out for international shipping

Skkkk okay I just panic bought the rest of everything. I'm sure they'll restock the yellow one at some point, but in case not, they're still available on the French store (shipping is expensive to US tho ) I guess that's what I get for waiting for US bundles to hopefully save some cash, I end up paying more in the long run sjfksjgks

Ommmm I was trying to wait for bundles to be added to the US webstore or for the UK bundles to have an international shipping option, I didn't expect anything to sell out Hopefully they will restock soon, as I can't imagine they would have been that limited and they're still available on all of the other stores x

Wow.. This is a beautiful depiction of the story of these three albums, and I think you nailed it perfectly. These albums are sort of accompanying my own life in that way - in 2019 right around the NFR release my world fell apart. I really didn't start to pick up all the pieces of the rubble until early 2021, around when Chemtrails came. Now that we're in the final quarter of 2021, I've begun placing all my pieces together to finally assemble my life back to the way it was. Lana always happens to be the perfect soundtrack to my life, and I can't wait for Blue Banisters to be a part of my next chapter. In October too, my birth month! What perfect timing! x
