  1. I'm seeing Honeymoon is back?!
  2. Her singing Dolly's version of 'I Will Always Love You' would be a dream come true.
  3. Looking forward to Lana recreating this scene on her next tour
  4. Visuals and sound were absolutely stunning. I managed to have to miss it live due to work, but thank you to NBC and Elle for posting them so quickly. I'm also really glad that Byron got to star, by Lana's side, where he's been ride-or-die for over a decade.
  5. 100% agree. I have some really unusual and/or idiosyncratic readings of a number of songs, and it's fun to play with words, but the theories that fans hold onto, and fight other fans over disagreeing is the problem. In general, Lana seems to prefer double meanings that work properly in English, and the fact she doesn't usually publish lyrics shows she's happy to let us play with those double meanings/misreadings. She's said over and over that she's very careful about the words she uses, so you should at least respect the surface level of the lyrics, before throwing them out for a 'hidden' meaning.
  6. I can''t find the post now, but when she posted about it, she wrote 'Don't take the necklace, and if you do take it, give it back'.
  7. This guy has done a couple of Lana videos, but this is the most in-depth ones, and one that sums up so much of how I feel about Lana's career. He's more positive than most of us were about the interview, but not unconditionally so.
  8. It's so disheartening, because the 'other' lyrics are always so awful. "Until I saw you why am I staying?"
  9. An interesting video about how this will be Lana's Grammy Awards, whether she wins or not.
  10. Her having to sing the song to herself to remind herself of her astrological signs is peak Lana.
  11. There's nothing worse than an interviewer who thinks we want to read their lifestory and philosophy of the world in every article they write. They need to make something of their life before any of us are going to care. The pictures and video, on the other hand, are lovely.
  12. Seeing this, I have to admit that I felt a little thrill - it's cool to be brought back to the old days of LG. But we also have to remember that the 'Lizzy Grant era' has a completely different meaning to Lana than it does to us.
  13. I'm not sure if it's a problem with the translation, but saying she didn't like A&W is not really true.

    Azealia Banks

    Truly, she's never met a bridge she hasn't wanted to burn. Edit: This article, which lays out her over the top attack (and doesn't even mention that she moved to Florida because she wanted to live in a place governed by Ron DeSantis because of his enmity towards the LGBTQI community), ends with this hilarious line.
  15. Kill Kill has a perfect arrangement but could do so much with different production, so I'd love that. I Talk To Jesus doesn't yet have a perfect arrangement or production, and is one of my favourite songs ever. A produced Cry Kill Die would be magical. Pink Champagne is perfect but needs to be properly mastered. Never Let Me Go properly produced and mastered would be great.
  16. This is so true. As an album by a pop artist, the world still hasn't caught up with how monumental Ultraviolence was/is.
  17. I think part of the problem is that a lot of people don't realise that one of the differences between being rich and being poor, is that if you're rich, you're always rich, but if you're poor/not rich, then some months you'll have money, and some months you won't have any money, so if you aren't taught how to handle your spending (which unfortunately is extremely common among those lower than upper-middle-class), when you have any money, there's a good chance you're spending it on things/experiences that someone looking on and judging you might assess as being frivolous. Every part of Lana's story checks out if you remember that she grew up in the 80s/90s, not the 1930s (when poor meant you never had anything).
  18. I listened to Holly's latest album and quite liked it. She has a touch of Emmylou Harris about her.
  19. Crosspost with the 'cringe' thread at the Lana fans wondering how Holly got to collab with Lana when she has 'only 9k followers' Edit: clocked by Lana
  20. I can imagine Lizzy singing The Cardigans' 'Black Letter Day' at one of her club shows in 2008.
  21. The almost mono/AM radio sound of 'The Other Woman', that harkens back to the feeling of standing in your kitchen as a housewife in the 1960s, miserably listening to the radio and thinking about your cheating SOB of a husband.
  22. You need to look at it from the organisers' perspective, though. They didn't only invite Lana because she is a fan of Joan's - they had her there to get some buzz for the movie and the session. They would have asked her to promote it, otherwise there would have been no point having her there.
