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
