I can't afford anything at the merch store. I usually buy bootleg stuff on Ebay for a lot cheaper.
 
For me, this is not the time to be throwing money on expensive merch when eggs cost $12. I didn't even buy a physical copy of the new album. Since when are CD's $30? Nope. Especially when Lana's album artworks are famous for having nothing in them but song credits and a boring "friends/family" picture.
 

 
 
 
 

Ok next time I'll sell my rare merch for $60 when there's a bunch of other listings for $500+. Like what's the alternative here?
 
How the FUCK do you guys think this works? Rare merch from any artist is going to sell at a higher price. If you're bitter you can just say that but idk what else to tell you

Pls I'm not a scalper I bought it when it was being sold when I was a teenager and had to sell it when I needed money. I didn't originally buy it just to sell. As if it didn't deeply pain me to have to sell it. Wtf are you people on...

Because I was broke and sold rare merch I owned for a price it was selling for at the time? I'm not a charity lmao  

The love single and rosary necklace coming back  (delulu train)

i'm starting to think she should do something very eerie with rock and electronic merged together, maybe some rnb beats? like candy necklace with a guitar instead of piano + taco truck

oh wait guys i also found out good news (according to several staff at the pop-up).. that every single merch item at the pop up (all of the new t-shirts and hoodies, not the vinyl or the jacket with the stamps, etc) will be available on ldrvillage in about one week !!!!!!!!!!!

I personally find it very beautiful when Lana sings about her family. She's not just providing insight into her own world, she's also encouraging us to contemplate those people in our own lives. A lyric like "my grandmother's last smile" is so powerful because how can someone hear it without considering their own grandmother's last smile? "Charlie, stop smoking" doesn't just make me think of Lana's brother, it makes me think of the people I love who are smokers and wish they could cut back too. "Chucky was there for three out of three" makes me think about rushing back to my hometown for my dad's final days. I think people get a lot more out of her lyrics when they find ways to relate them back to their own lives. Lana is a magician and she's very much placing these thoughts in our head for reasons that go beyond her in my opinion, she's just doing it in the way that is most personal and meaningful to her.

I love the album and I do connect with it, it's just that it's taking a toll on me emotionally speaking. It's way too dark and twisted, and I'm not in my best days lately. It's really such a bad timing. Maybe it'll become my go-to sad album, just like Ultraviolence was for me when I was a teen. Can't stop listening though.

Might be an unpopular opinion but Peppers is the worst song on the album for me! Also, why is it named Peppers, doesn’t even make sense. It just bothers me

Anxiety inducing truly 

I think it's definitely an interesting addition and the instrumental is obviously stunning. It's inclusion is quite thought provoking because at times it does seem like she's supporting everything he's saying, but she also chose to make it spooky, and then by the end of the album she's literally dancing naked for her neighbours which goes directly against how this sermon starts. It's placement so close to Jon Batiste Interlude with only one hypnotic song in between also makes me think they are some sort of yin and yang vibes. Lana certainly contains multitudes 

i love this interlude lol it made me laugh when lana giggled at him and repeated “rhino designer”. the interludes add so much to the album as a whole, there’s a strong atmosphere. plus there’s something to think about with the song before this having the lyrics “this is the experience of being an american whore” and “god’s a charlatan”

fingers crossed tomorrow ldr village will show those date categories? I assume it will be left overs from the pop up

On the first verse: The guitar at the very beginning starts off a little Yayo-ish, the rest sort of reminds me of Hawaiian Tropic. 
Before it switches to VB, the guitar reminds me of Hotel California.

When I first listened to grandfather i thought she was saying “if you don’t believe me look at my poetry, I’m a mouthpiece, hear it all through God” and I genuinely liked my lyrics better LMAO

Yep. I ordered the standard black vinyl, 2 of the amazon exclusive, and a standard cd from amazon... NONE of them have shipped. I ordered them the day they went up for sale in December.
