That is correct! There were two reasons, one being a release date technicality, and also a smear campaign by an academy member which influenced the other members of the academy to nominate a different song he had personal connections too (which was later revoked from the list).

When I used to have Instagram I remember when Lana teased White Dress with the first few seconds of the dog running, the girl skating and shots of the desert. It was on mute, and somehow this Vangelis track had started autoplaying on my Spotify. I actually thought it was how the video actually was going to sound and look haha! Hit play on both at the same time, I think it really works.

The news of Riverside being released revived me.

I am sorry if it sounds contradictory. What I say has no sway - me blowing up and telling people to go elsewhere was my own (bad) call. Elle is asking for opinions and is the one who is calling the shots and is still reading all these comments for sure. I apologise for anyone who I might have offended by that comment. I am just very upset with the lack of empathy and cherry picking of facts over money and how serious this in. Personally over the years I've donated a couple of hundred dollars into the site and it's really jarring for me to read that people are not only rejecting the idea of supporting, but don't want to put up with a minor convenience to help. But I suppose we are all at different points in our lives where we all have different financial positions. Just know that it's really cruel to drag someone when you don't know the full story because sometimes you can seemingly have everything before it's taken away and you still have to foot the bill. I've been there too :\ Also re: Discord baddies - you cool kids know who you are. I didn't mean for 'baddies' to come across in a negative way lol: I used to be in the Discord group that was very chill where things were called things out very freely to attempt to have no drama but I left so you wouldn't have a staff member looming over you. Apologies again, I really do like you all. Anyway . . . I don't know about you, but sometimes people reach a point in their lives when you realise you're not really interesting or special and, believe me, I am way past this point and I think I've said everything I need to here. So I will go back to silently just moving posts around and leave it at that, but probably need to log off for a while too. It's Lanaboards.com, shouldn't be that serious . . . sorry. :\

Dude. That is such a shallow way to look at it. Speculating on people’s expenses and throwing their debt in their face is a really cruel thing to do when you don't know the full story. The example you have highlighted (even if accurate or correct) is a split cost across almost a decade, in addition to the start up cost of Lanaboards. That would be like you saying "Well you've spent $6k on food per year so why can't you make a regular $100 donation to whatever per month" when the ongoing cost of hosting still exists?? :\ I really like you, but it seems pretty clear that you and the Discord baddies hate how things are here. You can start your own forum

I don't understand this comment - while the other expenses are accrued over years on personal spend, are you saying $5000 isn't a lot of money to spend on a website that no one else contributes to?

Imagine paying thousands so that people can just create fake countdowns and post scat porn.

The ads are annoying, but not so annoying that I can't click out of them. I am willing to pay a small fee to disable them. I think guests should see the ads. I would rather our regular members not have to experience the ads, or see them less frequently. Webhosting is really expensive and I really sympathise. People complaining about them . . . you need to go outside for a second and remember how expensive it is to live lol. Elle is basically paying $100 extra rent a month so we can shit post 24/7. Could you afford to do that?

Really enjoyed this article from the BBC. https://www.bbc.com/culture/article/20210407-lana-del-rey-and-the-struggle-to-be-mysterious-in-pop I still find it so funny that journalists always go on about how dreamy, sultry and angelic Lana is. Like, after you're done with your listen of Born to Die, can you go play Pretty When I Cry, Cherry or The Greatest. She is just not that artist anymore lol and she hasn't been for a while . . .

I think we're at a point now where we don't need people persistently bringing up Lana's lack of mask in her photos, for these reasons: Different states (and countries) have different laws about when masks are compulsory, necessary or optional. Just because where you reside is/isn't mandated to wear masks, doesn't mean Lana is in a similar environment. Masks are only part of the solution and management of the virus is superior to the point of where it was last year - now we have well established methods of contact tracing, and a good awareness of hygeine and general social distancing. We have no context of these photos so if it's a house gathering, party, or private event people are generally not required to wear face masks. We know that Lana does use masks as there are plenty of photos of her using them properly. This double standard is geting really tired and it comes across like you're persecuting her for the sake of it. Take it from me, someone who was in the world's strictest lockdoen last year. We only have to wear masks on public transport now - we are ready to react appropriately if the situation changes, but it is really not that big a deal to see people without masks. I definitely don't see the problem with Lana not wearing one in a photo with a fan because I chose to believe that both her and the person she is with has proper awareness. She's been dragged enough to know what is appropriate.

okay well whatever, another project I'll believe when I see it.

I agree with a lot of placements on here. I'm still so disappointed with what happened to The Next Best American Record, which the reviewer perfectly captures.

She should visit Byron Bay and fall in love with its celebrity status and well-being community. She would fit right in.

And actually they're all already on her YouTube account:

This radiates 'boomer on Facebook' vibes.

You ask this like she didn't release Venice Bitch and Mariner's Apartment Complex 9 months before NFR.

Her exact words were: ". . . in the meantime I'm going to give you a digital record of American Standards and Classics for Christmas [2020]" Link. So I think what Ianadelrey is saying is that if it's written down it counts, but if it's spoken it doesn't.

I'll believe it when I see it. She has no credibility when it comes to release dates.

I hope Lana knows of/hears Ajayll's reactions. They're the best!

Why does every critical review feel they need to preface discussion of the album with huge paragraphs about her early career? Why can't people separate the artist from the art.
