oooomg graphic design Ellegend!! They're soooooo pretty. The way I never knew we had other themes?? I feel guilty changing from Lust For Life sksksksksk.

Rocking Horse is such a pretty/smart song. I get it might be a little heavy-handed subject but I find it pretty fascinating how she conveyed so much image and meaning through the metaphor. And the song is catchy as hell.

For some reason, after lurking in this thread for days, I was still able to read it as "100th anniversary" and I was like wtf??? The vinyl drop from last year makes me think there's nothing major happening, unless they just press... more vinyl? Maybe lucky enough and they make it the Deluxe version (I doubt it since it seems like they did new press/mix for the 2023 standard release). Honestly if they didn't do anything for Born To Die which would be a much easier sell (no shit the album is still charting on Billboard) with the endless-pretty-much-finished outtakes they had... unearthing Fine China & Your Girl sound like a struggle. We do know both of them were finished back in 2014 along with the rest of the album, but it's quite interesting she (or the label?) decided to go with Flipside & Is This Happiness as regional bonus tracks. At least we had the Flipside 2023 performances but Is This Happiness, as gorgeous as it is, is just very random.

Yeah she's def touring because she's getting the $$$. Thinking about how messy it has been (and I don't even mean it in a derogatory way), if she's also really doing everything all by herself like some people been saying... she's cashing the whole thing. She pays the band and then everything else is hers if she doesn't have a touring manager, a record label or anyone else.

Honestly... it was quite annoying but we had it good so I can't complain sksksksks. The endless teasing, the Honeymoon lyrics over that Lyric Book sold at Endless Summer yet no release date, the tour missing most of ultraviolence, Honeymoon leaking through store speakers... a nightmare, but a good one. I think we've been told Honeymoon was done in early 2015, but back then they were able to finish the albums much closer to the release date without the messy "vinyl backlog" thing. We know she was still recording for Lust For Life in early June for a July release. Hmm this is interesting? I quite remember that quote but I thought it was that "early Honeymoon sessions were too close to Ultraviolence sound" as in Ultraviolence final, which makes sense with snippets like Dark City and the fact she was just extending from the Ultraviolence mixing sessions

The simulation is BROKEN omg.

Honestly I think sort of yes but also kind of no, because she's been getting bigger and bigger; Norman Fucking Rockwell basically set a second wave of fans and Ocean Blvrd also managed to get a lot of fans. I think it's more of her thinking that's what people want and also... let's be honest. acting a little lazy while playing safe. No surprise she's always pulling some different games when she's playing these random Alabama/Desert shows. I get that people love Born To Die (song), but I'm also sure they'd freak out if she went for Cinnamon Girl instead of it and so on. I know it sounds crazy that we're replacing one of her singles for an album track, but it's quite literally one of her most requested songs ever. I find it surprising she decided to cut Blue Jeans this time around, but it's just not missed. At this point, she could go for Summertime Sadness & Video Games only and I don't think people would mind that much about the ratio of Born To Die songs, or at least bring something she hasn't done in forever (which in this case would be Without You), but that's it. Just like I mentioned Bartender, we also have the cases of like Cherry & Pretty When You Cry; they're non-singles and, if they weren't performed at every tour since 2018, people would freak out about them, but at this point it's just the same songs being performed over and over again. Off To The Races reached a similar saturation point and thank God she decided to let go, because once/when she decided to bring it back, it will be like "whew BOPPPP!!" instead of "again???" I honestly think the only chance of changing this would be going back to the drawing board and creating a setlist from 0 instead of recycling ideas.

I think the most bizarre thing about the setlist is just the consistency that she's been playing most of the same songs since 2012 18. I mean choices like Bartendes are super left-field when you think about it, but she literally sang it during the Norman Fucking Rockwell Tour and just kept it there. Reminds me of when she just re-used the Change/Young and Beautiful medley as well like... girl move on.

This West Coast intermission is so stupid akskskssksksk. I get the VIBEZ but if at least she sang the second verse + chorus. Anyway, messy setlist aside, this is her best show since Endless Summer (Structure Wise). If she swapped up the songs like she did back with LA To The Moon, would be easily her best show.

LINDOOO Get that marlboro infront of the glass, she'll sniff it

Don't forget to show her the notebook picture and ask if it's fake rolex, put us out of our misery please Jokes apart, hope everything goes well and you guys get an amazing concert (and Sportcruiser get that exclusive babe!!)

That yellow picture... It's Neil footage isn't it? Lana never bothered to go beyond B&W or Sepia filters we know that! Whatever it is, looks interesting! And it does fit better with the "West Coast Home Made" video than the Pretty When You Cry snippet. Thanks 4 sharing. About Ultraviolence... I'm quite shocked to look back and realize, for real, it's been 10 years! 10 years of "It's gonna be released in may" "Me & Dan are excited to present you Ultraviolence" "Down on the west coast they got a sayin' billboard"... because everything feels like yesterday?? To be fair, at first I had a hard time with Ultraviolence. I was still too in-love with the bombastic-cinematic-silkwrapped-hip-hop-orchestral-strings-vibes of Born To Die to let it go, even after Paradise (which nowadays, as much as I adore it, feels like an overkill (complimentary), but I'll leave that for another day). To get this hazy, dark, turbulent, noisy, lofi, rockish album without much resembling its precedent was... too overwhelming, I think? I was also just a teenager who listened to nothing but pop music ok?? but back then, we were also getting 10x new unreleaseds per week so it was... easy to ignore the album?? Pairing the music and the "lack" of visuals when compared to Born To Die, it was easy to brush it away. I remember keeping Fucked My Way Up To The Top, Brooklyn Baby, Old Money, Money Power & Glory and the title track. Then, the leaks were drying up, Honeymoon was coming up and I remember this very awkward drought from my favorite artists, and decided to just get back into Ultraviolence. And then step by step I saw and felt the record just unravelling right in my ears, how atmospheric it is, the endless layers that were always present, just not in--your-face... and how beautiful it really is; the world building, the synesthesia of it all. I can assure you that opening up to Ultraviolence was also important for me to finally open up to endless worlds of music out there and meet many new genres and artists.

Not really, she did mention the album being DONE on the first interview from yesterday, and even if Capitol did own "the songs", she's probably still allowed to re-record them (like Taylor Swift has been doing), but for the way she spoke it seems like she kept the songs and now she's trying to make it work. The whole visuals + planning will probably take some extra time, but she did mention she wants to drop a song soon... I really think she'll try to shop the album around to see if some label picks it up.

Ouuuuuuuuuuu secure your wigs Sky Ferreira is coming! Sky Ferreicon the legend that you are! people miss you! All of the time!!!! And you're coming back!! Masochism 2025 for sure, the motherquake is coming.

Sis it says at the end "incomplete and out of order" nn. It seems like she debuted a new cover as well https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-30AR5djbuw The lights off thing is funny af.

Elle that's sooooooo fantasticcccccccccccccccc!! You deserved it, and you look SO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDD!!!!! Queen!!!! These are always very special moments; glad Lana is also living her best life out there.

Highkey screaming at the camera guy being bored and just moving it around

UNREAL BEAUTY

any tea about the setlist? No soundcheck leaks?

Quite obsessed with how much I love this. Might be my favorite "album" and third overall just behind super sunset and collxtion I.

Taylor Swift the legend that you are! The shoutout was cute. I think if it was the Midnights extended with "MORE lana del rey" version, she'd get credited as well.

If they really hated her, she wouldn't be nominated at all, or even attend and participate over the events she did recently. I know it is annoying but like... for real. There's something awkward in the air. I'm only more skeptical since Olivia didn't win anything as well, but they would be both the only ones to... not win anything at all? Also realized Boygenius were there for the pre-telecast, so they might have been really aware that they weren't getting anything major. ROTY for Olivia and AOTY for Lana confirmed!

For real I think there's a slight chance of her getting AOTY since everyone is getting something... if Boygenius take Record Of The Year...............

Snatch that Oscar Billie omg
