necessary sacrifice

I think it’s just her style of writing. Most songwriters have words and phrases they constantly revisit because that’s just their style, it’s who they are.

Since Lana recently recorded LFA with Jack and before that she did SOTW with Jack too, I’m getting the vibe she’s gonna work with Jack for the next album too. They probably already started it.

Snippets are always samplers of digital albums. All albums that have a different version of a song on the physical only sample the digital version.

Do you guys really think they’d spend the whole year perfecting the album and preparing the packaging and merch and videos to all come together at once just to accidentally put a demo on the physical release? Seriously... the other version of FIILY on physical copies is obviously intentional. Just like the extended version of HIADTFAWLMTHBIHI.

Uhhh she constantly references Laurel Canyon on the album and nothing to do with President Moro fits the theme at all. I get that he’s a pretentious dude in Laurel Canyon from the line.

Yeah I know who he is. What I’m saying is he doesn’t fit into the context of the song but Laurel Canyon would.

The snippets are for sampling the digital album. They always are. That’s the main reason why it seems likely it’s a physical exclusive. Sample any songs from any artist that have a different physical version, it’ll always be the digital version.

Lots of albums have an exclusive album version of a single that you can only get on physical copies. They probably just wanted a more commercial version of FIILY to push on streaming services. This isn’t a new concept. I doubt it’s a pressing error.

He gave Honeymoon a great review, didn’t he? I’m pretty sure he did. His fans even accused him of accepting bribes from Lana because he liked it so much. Whereas Ajayy barely paid attention while listening to Honeymoon. Clearly fantano prefers when Lana is mature and poetic and Ajay prefers when she’s sexy and badass. Neither of them like all her stuff and both have valid reasonings for why they don’t like some stuff even if I feel differently.

It’s funny how everyone brings up Fantano not liking UV as a reason his reviews suck yet y’all also praise Ajay who also didn’t like UV. Idk I like watching both of them and I don’t always agree with them, but if I wanted to see someone with my exact opinions, I’d just review albums myself.

It’s probably the version on all digital copies. The other version is likely only on physical releases. Not surprising though. For example, lots of older albums only have the “single versions” of songs on streaming services on albums, probably to share the streams or something. Also probably more incentive to buy the physical if there’s an exclusive version of any songs.

You should try to take a pic of your collection and add your list. I love seeing what everyone else’s collections are like.

I thought I’d also post how my other bins look now. They’re a lot more spacious now. I wonder how long this will last before they fill up again...

Ok so I have like no space for any more records. I stopped having space like 7 records ago and I just keep packing them in and I hate it. It’s been worrying me so much, especially with three copies of NFR on the way and no room anywhere. So today I decided I had to fix this somehow and make more room. The obvious answer would be to donate/sell some records, but the vinyl hoarder I am wouldn’t do that. So I took out an old ratty ottoman I used to use for records when I didn’t have many and put it alone by my bookcase and decided I’d put all my Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks, and Lana Del Rey records in there separate from everything else. The ottoman is in really rough shape which is a letdown but I’m really excited because I always get excited reorganizing anything. Now I don’t have to worry about finding room when my copies of NFR arrive. I also have more room in my other bins, so I can start hitting up thrift stores again for more records. Here are some pictures of my special Joni/Stevie/Lana bin now.

You guys should all just ignore him and all attention seekers like that and they’ll get bored and lonely and stop teasing shit online. It might even be good for them, force them to get a life.

Why is anyone surprised the CD has the album cover on it? The CD is always the same as the label on the vinyl and we already knew the album cover was on the vinyl label, so..... it was obvious. And don’t be too let down if you don’t like how it looks. Luckily you don’t have to see it while it’s playing.

The album is literally out this week and we already have a shitty leak of it and you guys still want another? You guys are so spoiled lol.

So are we sure the albums aren’t being shipped out until Friday? I preorder lots of records and every single one stated they shipped the day of release but almost every record has arrived the day of release anyway. And I always pay for the cheapest and slowest shipping (although I paid for the fastest for nfr). In the past few years at least, I’ve only had two preorders arrive a couple weeks later (fjm and fatm) and I’ve even had one arrive a week early (cat power). So I don’t necessarily trust it saying it’ll ship the day it’s released as some sort of gospel. I just hope they do arrive either the day of or at least only a couple days later.

The album itself is very unlikely to be censored. When I got UV, all the standard versions said they were censored and the deluxe said it was explicit but all of them were censored on the back cover and none were censored on the album itself. I have no albums on vinyl where the music itself is censored but I do have some where the packaging is.

I’ve never seen your videos before but I’m your fan now. I’m gonna watch all your videos now.

I wonder if the albums will arrive on Friday or if they’ll arrive like two weeks later or something. I hope they arrive the day of (or even the day before by accident). I just can’t wait to hold it.

I wish it was a glitch, but the US shop always redirects to the Canadian one for us. Sometimes I try to scroll fast before it redirects but I never can. Hopefully she eventually adds merch for us too soon.
