Elle, Please Stand on the Shoulders of Lanaboards Posters While They’re Deep-thread Fighting

@Kintsugi is there at least one song with tempo changes? Literally all I need to know to tithe me over. 🥹

I was reading LanaBoards and I got to thinking that I thought Maybe I’d get less stressed if I was tested less like all of these thirsty fägs Whining about billboard only just to get the thread locked

JESUS, we can just never win with the details of her album covers 😂 SOMEONE WAS PAID WELL TO DO THIS -bangs freelancing head against the desk-

French Restaurant is her best unreleased song. Unidentified Flying Bill isn’t far off.

And here… we… *go*!

I daresay someone on Lana’s team owed someone they know at EOL’s a favour and just provided them with the licensing for Neil Krug’s images, and/or Lana wanted a verrrrry low-key promotional run.

I feel like I know less now 😂 What kind of Wikipedia article was that

On release I’m gonna roll a joint, hopefully have my place to myself if not get an AirBnB, put my phone on Do Not Disturb, and just bask. Maybe sit back with a notebook to write in upon third or fourth listen.

Interestingly though, I listened to TUOB both in and out of Dolby Atmos, and I actually prefer it without - the tinkling piano in the second verse is virtually absent from the DA mix! 🥲

Compositionally it taps into the history of jazz, which antagonised (and revolutionised) the structuralism of what we refer to as classical music. Furthermore, conceptually, the rhythm, as in, the foundation of the song, is bursting at its seams, the lattice of the clothing’s fabric breaking, unravelling, which invokes the image of the black bathing suit being the only thing that fits her, her weight fluctuating just like the time signature of the song multiple times throughout, before totally melting away by the end. It’s just chaos. I hope that didn’t sound like mansplaining, I adore this song, it’s among my favourites of hers, but I can totally understand why people wouldn’t enjoy it - our brains are pattern-making machines, hence why we find music enjoyable because it’s a self-resolving sonic pattern. The change in the pattern is inherently uncomfortable - but not without reason. On a separate note - I actually love Beautiful. It can be argued that it is trite, and if I’m in the wrong mood listening I can actually agree. But the run-on sentence and melody is, singing-wise, from a technical point of view I think, genuinely impressive. My one critique is, in line with the following song Violets For Roses, I wish she sang “Beautiful like me” as opposed to “beautiful like you”, as it would drive home that her sadness is part of her, part of the package of her experience and is part of her process, and whilst painful, has its narrative place. love u bb, you’re messy, but it’s cause you’re cooking up the ongoing push in lana’s songwriting craft

might avoid the forum till release, too many spoilers I can’t trust myself to ignore long-term 😭

On the corner with the neighbourhood kids, I’ll have a De Cabezo please

Tried it actually, it was, perfectly pleasant? 😂

Here’s hoping! I like VB, I just have to be in a specific mood for it.

the instrumental just isn’t comprehensive enough to warrant its length. Six minutes I could see.

Whilst I enjoy Venice Bitch, I hope the interpolation is a melodic or instrumental one and not a lyrical one, as I consider VB’s lyrics to be relatively weak for her.

KING BEHAVIOUR I want to live in this timeline

But I can’t 🥲

I should really know this having a background in art - but in the nude photograph, is she holding a film cartridge for a camera or… could it be… a hard drive?! I zoomed in and it looks like it could say “Zach Dawes 2019” but hard to tell.

I wake up at 3am to catch a bus to the airport to… Taco Truck?? …TACO TRUCK?! 😂😂😂😂😂

I get it, I just think they’re too clean-looking next to the rough and readiness of both the theme (being diaristic, messy [in a good way]) and the aesthetic of the photographs. it’s her album 🤷🏻‍♂️ 😂
