Trash Magic

fuckyeahlanadelrey.tumblr.com being the very first fan site/source for Lana stuff The Lana Del Rey thread on spillitnow.com - FUCK the admin for deleting it dumbass When Off To The Races was a free single on iTunes UK and it had been out for over an hour and it wasn't elsewhere online and I was teasing it in the thread before sharing it OG fake exclusive hoarder shit...

I remember a MQ version of this being one of the most readily available pics of Lana at the time it was attached to some blog post about her

When Lana didn’t have a Wikipedia page

Not a Kings of Leon mention. I was just listening to Aha Shake Heartbreak last night and was upset how disappointing their new album is shaping up to be. Such a similar answer to the one she gave in the NY Times interview in Aug 2019. I wonder if White Dress was written around then? On “The Greatest,” you sing about missing rock ’n’ roll. Do you think rock is dead or dying? It’s more about the concept of actually just chilling and listening to music for no reason. I was thinking of when I was 19, 20, 21 and had my first real boyfriends in this [expletive] apartment and just listening to Kings of Leon, that song “Milk,” or like White Stripes and the Strokes. We were trying to get into this secret bar they had on the East Side and no one would ever let us in. It was so fun. Maybe I should’ve said indie rock. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/08/28/arts/music/lana-del-rey-norman-rockwell-album.html

Gonna hold off reading til I pick up a copy but thanks for sourcing these. I love that Sirens was acknowledged by the magazine it’s rarely ever included in Lana cover stories so I love the idea of it getting more exposure and more widely known amongst non-superfans ☺️

My Sirens cover getting printed ??‍♂️

That sounds incredible. I've been to Sausalito twice and it has to be the prettiest place ever for me. Yes the aesthetic is just so defining for the album. It's always been so amazing to me how they made such a structurally ugly, industrial shipyard be something so beautiful and so fitting for NFR!

Wow I didn't know about that red carpet interview. Sounds shady, are we still uncertain about if it was ever even filmed or cancelled before they filmed it? It sucks cause she was so positive about this album I can't imagine her doing anything detrimental in a pre question for the culture world.

I've been going to the beach lately when its been bright out but so cold and it's so peaceful and this album just hits so different in that setting. Watching the blinding glistening waves while listening to Mariners and Venice Bitch especially.... This album is a nautical masterpiece. Such an immersive soundscape throughout. Hope... has actually revealed itself to be top 3 from the album over time. This was me today And on another note the fact we never got the beach interview with Zane Lowe sucks

Listened to Hollywood's Bleeding for the first time in a while and thought fuck a Post Malone x Miley collab would be such a classic. Plastic Hearts and Hollywood's Bleeding are pretty similar how'd I not notice this! Even the album titles / the subject matter of the title tracks are about the same LA phoney fake culture Edit It was specifically the song Take What You Want that made me think of Miley and I just saw it was produced by Andrew Watt no wonder!... yup collab needs to happen

The fact We’re good sounds like something she’d release between No Lie / the Wale feature / Lost in your light era (No Lie is better) got me listening to Scared to Be Lonely on repeat today. Why is it actually good and aged well?? Surprising

Went to a couple places they only had the previous issue ???

Probably gonna go see if this is on newsstands near me later today ???

Wtf The music video really made me dislike everything even more

Prisoner is the best song on the rerelease! Went into this pretty open minded but it sucks right Not My Problem is a 2005-esque track that sounds audibly ugly That Kind of Woman sounds so bare and weird and unexciting, but it birthed the excellent Jacques Lu Cont remix which is definitely top 5 Dua songs If It Ain't Me sounds exactly like what it is an outtake that wasn't put on the album for a reason We're Good is okay it totally reminds me of Fergie - especially Mary Jane Shoes

It actually induces anxiety thinking about the sheer amount of vinyl, cd, cassette and merch production is on the way for each rerelease. Poor planet earth!

The spread was photographed by Charlie. Scared or excited?

the way she is dressed (I won’t use the term “styled”) is very 2004 summer job at a boatyard lmao never change

Let me backtrack on any negativity and say Fearless is perhaps her best album so I will be listening to this, especially the 6 unheard tracks. It’s very cool she got Colbie Caillat back for Breathe. And I’m really glad she is including the platinum edition tracks because those could have easily been overlooked. Fearless actually has so many classics ? Breathe Tell Me Why You’re Not Sorry The Other Side of the Door - One of her absolute best songs for me The Way I Loved You White Horse Superstar Untouchable Jump Then Fall yeah... Hopefully this sets a precedent for artists to start rereleasing anniversary editions of old albums with unreleased tracks more frequently

She looks like she likes to rock out and throw shit around on stage

Idk why anyone would find that weird you don’t know about their relationship. With the things Lana has spoken about regarding her mother and stuff in Violet and the Chemtrails video largely being Lana taking care of kids, part of me thinks it’s some sort of inner child thing? And is she one of the friends allegedly from AA?

I submitted my response

A large part of me feels super cynical about the rerecordings because 1. the main motivation is money 2. what makes old music special is the nostalgia and the fact it was recorded when the artist was younger and at a different stage in their life/career But it is interesting because something on this scale has never been done in recent history by somebody of her popularity I'm high key most interested to see what the updated artwork will be like.

This is an absolute dream I always hoped this would happen, I have loved Lana singing this. Between this and the Hallucinogenics remix my fantasy of a Lana Del Rey & Friends release of all her NFR! guests is basically happening
