Rorman Nockwell

I just really like making stuff up. Sorry. That poem is soooo about him ....

Guys, come on ... (come on ... come on ... come on) ... it's a great song. Except for when she sings "it's hot, hot" and she sounds like a crow squawking

Yeah and that pic of her, him, and Ben from the pre-Grammys event ... I know you can't read too much into a single photo but Ben and Lana look delighted and Jack looks sad af. We must analyse that Joe poem for clues.

Well that video could've been from earlier. And we don't know when they broke up. She seemed to lose interest in NFR right after HIADTFAWLMTH - BIHI, which was around then. Or maybe that was their attempt to be "friends" but it was too difficult or who the fuck knows, really. And Lana Del Liar will totally date more musicians, without a doubt.

I'm so glad it isn't just me; at least we have something juicy to discuss for the next 10 pages.

Yeah that was also me. Like, we can even combine the two conspiracy theories and say that she wanted to cancel the shows because of her break up with Jack and then decided not to. Or as MoreCruelThanYou said, maybe she's still cancelling but hasn't said which ones. IIRC that one in Poland is not on her site and she hasn't said a word about it. I just suspect that the reason for the delay might be personal because she hasn't said a word. If it was something really innocent and simple, like a production delay, then I don't see why you wouldn't just say that. She is avoiding talking about this album's release for whatever reason. As I said, there's no way she didn't know about Google's March 29, and to just let that pass without saying anything is plain odd. Oh, and she is making a point of posting pics of her and her friends, which is exactly what women do when they break up with someone. If anyone needs someone to make stuff up and twist shit to suit an agenda, call me.

... OK this is pretty far-fetched but I've been dying to type it. What if ... Lana and Jack had a thing ... and they broke up? It would explain the dead silence from both of them, her managers' contradicting each other/Lana, and the delay. And when I say it would explain the delay, I mean - if they are no longer on good terms - they might want some time before it drops .. or they might even have been told to fix/add something, and they need time before they feel comfortable working together again, etc. I also immediately thought of him when she wrote that poem about "Joe" and his "brown eyes". It'd explain why she seemed so enthused about this album and then just went silent. I mean she probably is with that other actor guy now but it doesn't mean she wasn't with Jack. (Captain's Log, Page 1552: people start really making stuff up to justify)

Yeah what I meant was her songs likely evolve when she's working with someone else. Like I'm not doubting that she writes the lyrics, but she likely changes those lyrics up sometimes suit chords, etc ... there's some outside influence there. Whereas the poems seem very raw and drafty.

She wants to hope it's fucking good, then, because if it isn't she will look even sillier than she does with her vape. "Couldn't stop the way I was feelin' the day my record dropped ... AND IT WASN'T EVEN THAT GOOD!"

I mean, I think the poems are OK. They're not amazing. Other people help her write songs most of the time (even if the concepts are her own), whereas the poetry is much more raw. So in a way, the poetry is more her. I don't really like to compare them.

This would be the most awful decision ever, and she's made some pretty awful ones ... dating G Eazy, for example.

u little fuckers

You know, I fully expect her to only print like 200 copies of this and give them to some obscure little bookshops that nobody lives near. She might not even tell us which one/s. That would be so her. Imagine the fandom meltdown ...

I hope she sent her sister a "fuck you" text, too.

Oho those be fightin' words

What lives?

Maybe she's trying to make herself less about the looks and the glamour because she's feeling that it's unsustainable and/or she's just tired of it. Not that 30s is old or that older women aren't attractive, but yeah. She's also been wearing a whole lot less makeup lately and is seen bare faced quite frequently, which never would've happened 3 or 4 years ago. Everything she's given us for NFR has been decisively unglamourous so I'm not expecting that to suddenly change.

I want the touring to happen sooner rather than later - not just because it means we get NFR sooner/we can see her on tour - but because maybe she will sort herself out. Surely those friends of hers can't go on tour with her and surely she can't maintain the Instagram baddie lifestyle within the tour atmosphere. Hopefully she'll have an epiphany whilst touring Siberia or some shit and wake the fuck up. I don't blame her; most of her IG friends are there because of Lana and pretty much every question would've been about Lana so she probably went, "fuck it". I feel sorry for her, actually.

Legit. I mean, it's not a coincidence that she starts hanging out with the Mean Girls and subsequently announces that she's going to be an Instagram baddie. Nobody can argue that they're not influencing her. We all understand that it's her life to live how she wishes, but as a fan of her work you can't help but think about the impact it's having/going to have. This is why I posted elsewhere that I'd like her to GTFO of LA for awhile. I think the fame/LA bullshit has gotten to her and it's affecting her professionalism and her work. I honestly think if she keeps going in this direction it'll be "Lana who?" in a few years. Maybe that's what she wants, though.

OK because I'm a fkn maniac I've been pondering this, and I wonder if anyone else has pondered the same: Has anyone else ever noticed that Lana's friends and family refrain from addressing her using an actual name (be it Lana/Lizzy/Elizabeth)? It's not really of any consequence but it's no secret what her stage and real names are so I find it interesting. I only ever skimmed her dad's Twitter because it wasn't very interesting/I felt like a creepy stalker, but I did notice that he constantly calls Chuck, "Chuck" ... but when he talks about Lana he omits a name altogether. He does use "Lana Del Rey" when talking about her work but when actually talking about her he never uses a name. From what I noticed on Chuck's IG, it's the same. I noticed it's the same with her friends; in the bunny video from yesterday the person videoing says, "Sarah?" and "Jennie?" but to Lana she says, "and how about you?". I wonder if Lana has asked her family and friends to either not refer to her by any name, or to not refer to her by a specific name (eg: maybe she told her family not to call her "Lizzy" on social media and they feel odd calling her "Lana" so they just don't put a name). I remember she said in an interview recently that most of her friends call her "Lana" now, which I found somewhat odd. Like if my real name was Lizzy and my actual, real life friends called me by my stage name I think I'd find that a bit disconcerting ... but I'm not her, so I'll never know. (Also, maybe Lana is withholding NFR so she can laugh at us all getting crazier and crazier in the absence of music).

Fuckkkk (You know what this board needs? A "fuck that" button beside the "like" button ...)

So someone on the earlier pages said she said it'd have 13 poems, and I count 9 on her IG (including 3 haiku). So she only has 4 more to post and then she's fresh out of fucks - er, poems - and THEN she has to release it. Right? Right?! And then we get the album?! But she probably lied and it's 130 poems.

Heroin. Fight me.

Amendment: I ESPECIALLY want her to do this right after she decides that being an Instagram baddie is not for her. Preferably like, next week.
