Pico Ocean Boulevard

that 2012 auburn length is back yess

completely feel this! each song has like a very lana-esque element.
 
Ride is the big, bombastic anthem about the strange combined feelings of loneliness and freedom.
American is the slightly more paired-back, intimate, sweet, devoted love song with the trip-hop elements present on BTD.
Cola is the sultry, Bond Girl-esque side of Lana that sings about older men and diamonds.
Body Electric is the sinister celebration of iconography and Americana.
Blue Velvet is the classic jazz cover, obviously significant to Lana's whole thing.
Gods & Monsters is the most rock-inspired song on the EP, which again, super relevant to Lana (the song would probs fit right in on UV) and that's without even considering the iconic lyrics and what they represent in the Lana pantheon.
Yayo is obviously a re-imagining of her elusive earlier work as Lizzy and all its talk of trailer parks and putting on a show for u daddy represents the 'sad party' vibe she aims for in her earlier work and unreleased stuff.
Bel Air is a lil bit of 'Hollywood Sadcore' Lana, super ethereal and gentle but also a little glamorous and cinematic.
 
there's rly something in every song of this EP to represent who Lana is, esp who she was at that point    it needs more love

If Lana and Sean really broke up I wonder how it will be influence this album. Last year she mentioned that she has already written parts of it. Back then it seems like that Lana was really happy and in love. And it looked like she was really happy and in love with Sean as well. Imagine the first half is full of more happy sounding songs and sweet love songs. Maybe with acoustic guitar or with strings and some 'soft' e-guitar now and then. Some surf rock influences would be amazing as well. Even Yosemite would fit in this part but my delusional ass should stop thinking about Yosemite. Then in the Middle part the album will took a turn. That is when the break up will be described. Imagine more sadder or angrier songs with drums and more E-guitar and maybe some Horns in the background. The second half is still about the break up and about Lanas current mindset and maybe a little bit of the end of the world feeling . But in the end she will get her more positive mindset back and has hope again. Maybe she is thankful for everything that happened because all the shit makes her stronger women who is fighting for her freedom and her art.
The second half has a lot of E-Guitars and pschydelic influences.
 
And Lana said that she wants to stay in the same realm as NFR!
With this record I imagined she would discover at least sonically more of the 'rockish' part of NFR!. She would develope the MAC,Venice Bitch, FILLY, the greatest sound.

I'm finding the spread of the virus really interesting. This isn't going to be the one to wipe out massive populations, like millions, but now we know the one that will, which will have a higher mortality rate, will spread really damn quick and it's quite scary.
I'm not worried but I'm taking precautions, like washing my hands whenever I can. Even though I'm healthy and very unlikely to die if I had it, I'd hate to spread it to someone that does die.
I hope everyone realises this and gets used to being really on point with hygiene.

When the world had a great big virus, we just kept dancing.

The New York Times posted an article about Jack, noting that Lana was actively working with him in late-January:
"On that day during Grammys week, he arrived at the studio in the afternoon. The previous day, he had devoted the morning to working on the new Bleachers album; in the evening, Del Rey swung by for a session."

California sounds a lot more progressed than Video Games, as classic as it is. So.. California

California vs. Freak 

Pico Boulevard, your signiture is written in Nepalese,
and it says... " Speak to the Universe that Lana will release Yosemite and she will create her Surf Rock album "
Very Cool font , I rate it a 10/10 for originality   

Lana when a fan will ask her about WHF

She looks so young especially in the last picture! We stan an aging backwards Queen !And her hair isn't blonde anymore but it is still pretty light. We stan!

I hope it's 'only' the flu or a cold but not the Coronavirus. But I'm annoyed of the Virus and of the Media. And its stupid that the pharmacy is not able to help you and that the Samu will not take you because you have no fever. You show some symptoms and it should be checked out if it is Corona or not... I heard/read several times now that some people don't get help or that nobody wants to check out if they have Corona or not.
Wishing only the best for you!!

Well ... I wrote "But where's Lanz?" on his latest IG post and he blocked me. 
 
K, Seany. 

STRAIGHT OUT OF 2012 AND YOU CAN'T TELL ME OTHERWISE WTF

she served 
 
 

my boss stayed home today and will be self quarantining indefinitely. she's 80 and it's so sad to see that some people actually have to take these measures. my mom and i went to a grocery store and they were really low on water and we saw two people wearing those special masks. my mom bought all the gallon jugs of spring water that were left not because she thinks we'll have to quarantine but because people are buying everything and it fuels the need to gather supplies because they're may not be any in the future. very interesting to see this all unfolding, i really don't know what to expect. i suspect my school will be closing down in the coming weeks. it's crazy to see how our survival instincts are kicking in with the hoarding and all. the economy is so fragile, life is so fragile.

Of course being upset over cancelled concerts is such a first world problem considering how badly this is affecting people’s health, but I just got word that the HANA show I was meant to attend on Sunday has been cancelled due to coronavirus concerns Super bummed since I’ve been waiting nearly 5 years to see her again & the venue is super intimate - 330 cap & no barricade!
Coronavirus is the worst thing to have ever happened to concerts/festivals lol
In all seriousness though, I hope everyone is staying safe and making efforts to protect themselves from getting or spreading the virus x

pray the corona away

Hello! I haven’t been on her in more than 7 months! I just came back now as my whole country is on lockdown and we’re all quarantined.
Please everyone, stay safe! Don’t go out! Wash your hands compulsively and don’t touch your face
 
It is not just common flu, it’s way more.
 
I live in Rome and we have to stay home until 3rd April for now.. it’s scary.

It's equally annoying how the media actually does make it worse, which is in no way helpful. Every 10 minutes there is another new article popping up, telling us nothing new but the same thing over and over again just worded differently. The media isn't even educating us why the numbers of the infected are rising, not only because of 'new' infections but mainly because hospitals are slowly getting the medicinal supplies and tests they need so they can even confirm an infection in the first place. Leaving out this crucial information makes it seem the virus is spreading way faster than it actually does, which will send more people into panic mode. It's also leaving out the fact, that the virus doesn't affect the younger (children) that bad or the symptons aren't as severe as with elderly people. The virus is mainly deadly for the elderly or people with already strained immune systems.
 
That does not mean it's not sad for those affected and their families and it doesn't make their deaths in any way less painful physically or emotionally, but it shows that people in average or good health should be fine. Our immune systems are fighting worse things on a daily basis, like cancer cells, with success. Which also leads to the fact, how it astounds me, no one is covering the numbers of the people who actually recovered from the virus, and the number is way higher than the ones who died from it. I don't care if you believe me, you can check all those facts online, there are even live tolls on youtube or websites that show numbers the media isn't covering because the only thing they're telling us is the infection / death count and to wash hands. Seriously, the human race overcame worse things like the plague, corona is nothing in comparison (yet).
 
It will be taken under control soon, our medical supplies and modern medicine is amazing and scientists and doctors are working fast, corona will not wipe out the human race, nor will anyone who got infected die instantly without any chances of recovering. Also, quarantine and isolation are two different things. Quarantine is for both infected people and people who aren't tested positive for the virus yet, but are under suspicion of being infected. Quarantine isn't a death sentence, people are held under quarantine because there are no ways to handle corona yet and to slow the spreading speed
 
Lastly, being annoyed at the bad media coverage doesn't automatically mean not taking corona serious. We just want more useful information and less headlines or uneducated / poorly researched articels for the sole purpose of generating clicks and newspaper sells.
 
We need to be alert, not anxious.
 
Rant over.

it's really tiring to see misinformation and mass hysteria being spread around so much. majority of cases are mild, resembling a cold or mild fever/flu. it's usually not dangerous unless you are 60-70+ or already have a depleted immune system. you can stock up on lysol and hand sanitizers all you want but the reality is that coronavirus is a virus and those products only really kill bacteria so it probably won't do much. and also, just because somebody has a cough does not mean they have the coronavirus, it's sad that even has to be said.
 
however it's still good to take precautions and follow reputable news and medical sources to keep yourself updated on what's going on. this is still a major issue but spreading mistruths and hysteria does more harm than good.

its fear manipulation and pure media brainwashing, fear is the best manipulation and control strategy (see.. religion), they want whoever gets a minor headache or chest infection to panic and go get this new "vaccine" that they've produced.. god knows what kind of poison they're trying to inject into the population but it seems to be working and its a smart idea if u ask me... ask yourself this, how does it really effect ur life rn? (even if u had it)- like if u got really sick right now and had never heard of this stupid virus u wouldn't give a damn, the illness would pass and you'd go along with your days...
 
old people, and babies have alwaays been dying from the common cold, of course its going to look bad if only the deaths of the people that have symptons are to be broadcasted, they're not broadcasting the amount of people who are okay and who are recovering from it are they.. and ask yourself why? even if this virus was as deadly as they say it is... why on earth would they want to broadcast how deadly it is, that would be stupid, that would be the LAST thing they'd be trying to do if it were true...
 
anyway im just gonna ignore this and go on with my life, its hard not to hear about this shit everywhere i go cus dumbasses are always calling up at the call centre asking for face masks... but yeah, these sly little bastards have got the world terrified so props to them
