It can be, but again, it's more a convention than a real rule. Some drummers argue that a band can't have two drummers (one should be drummer, the other percussionist), while other people say there's no problem having two drummers if the band needs it. 'Percussionist' doesn't really give us a definite idea of which instruments are involved or not involved.

Drums vs Percussion - in reality, there's no difference, but there's a convention that there is one drummer on a kit who keeps the beat and is the 'lead' percussionist, and then anyone else who plays drums is called a percussionist. Keyboard vs Piano - again, it's more a convention than a strict rule, but usually piano is acoustic, while keyboard is electronic/synth.

In before the saxophone is Lana trying to impersonate a lead guitar.

I tried to find other examples of 'Visionary Awards' which might give us some insight, and a couple of possibly relevant ones: CMT's Video Visionary Award: ""recognizes an artist's extraordinary musical vision, innovative and groundbreaking music videos and pioneering initiatives in entertainment" American Folk Art Museum Visionary Award: "honors an individual, institution, or project that has made a unique and distinctive contribution to the field" I guess somewhere in there is what the Billboard award is for

Has anyone seen an explanation from Billboard of what the Visionary Award actually is for? It's one of those vague terms that could mean a number of things.

I think she had prepared something, but it may not have seemed as important to her, as that was a tough week for her, with spending a lot of time with her grandmother who was very ill then (and who passed away quite soon after).

Off topic: Do you know where this gif is from?

It cracks me up that the two people in my life who use a typewriter exclusively are my mother-in-law and Lana.

People going back and tagging a new lana account for publicity is EXACTLY the sort of thing I would expect to see. Also, I haven't seen anybody mention that they were suddenly following a random LDR related page without clicking on 'follow'. I think the number of people who missed out on following Honeymoon when it went private means there might be a bit of a panic to follow immediately so as not to miss out here.

Edit: nevermind

75K followers in a couple of hours. Even if Interscope initially wanted it to be a soft launch/secret, they're going to have to be happy with how it's turned out.

I'm all for having one cake for each of my personas.

This is the most accurate the Daily Mail has ever been.

I'm not sure how I'm dragging you when I didn't mention your name, and didn't even have you in mind. As for fake woke ... well, whatever. I'm hardly woke by most people's standards at all, but the fact you're using the phrase at all means a lot.

As much fun as it is to dunk on reddit for its sexism and all around grossness (and believe me, that is fun), there are numerous posts in the lyric thread here, for the latest single, speculating on which body parts Lana is writing about wanting to be 'opened up', that are even more gross.

Can anyone confirm this? There might have been a different master used without making it obvious on the packaging. I just want someone who has bought the CD in the past year to let us know if it has the more bare bones first version or the 'surf drums' version that's on the video.

I've been lazy the last few months and have only listened to this on streaming, but yesterday I went for a drive and put the actual CD on, and the sound quality is just stunning. Little details I'd forgotten about just jumped out. I think I'm going to have to upgrade NFR in my ratings.

AI generated lyrics are going to be the death of beauty and art.

Super excited for all our Brazilian fans!

I don't care if Lana announces a record and then drops out of sight. I don't need regular serotonin hits from something new every day - just knowing a record is around the corner is enough.

I just pulled up a random video of it, but anything from the Would I Lie To You BBC show

I've bought every CD on the day of release with the exception of BTD-PE, which I bought the day after I first heard it (24/11/13), and Blue Banisters, which I got a day late due to wanting to use a gift voucher that wouldn't activate on the day. I used to buy a tonne of CDs, but I think the last four CDs I bought were Lana ones, as I said, on day of release. As for listening, I both stream and listen to the HQ rips I make. I have multiples of UV because I got the Australian one straight away, the German one for the alternate WC, and the Target edition for Flipside. I got multiples of the Paradise Edition because for a long time here they were cheap ($10 Australian = about $7 US), and I was giving them away to friends. I think I still have a spare. I got the Honeymoon CD box set because it was cheap online briefly. I also have a few of the CDs with exclusive tracks - the Emile album; Mando Diao; Great Gatsby OST; and a few others. I plan on getting Ocean Blvd on day of release on CD.

It's hilarious to find out what will make the Guardian write approvingly of the fact you moved to Florida because you wanted to be ruled by Ron DeSantis.

I'm on board with all the lovers of Unidentified Flying Bill - a great title that's also hilarious. And I'm wondering if the NFR haters just haven't heard of the phrase.

Honestly some of these alternative suggestions are 1,000 times worse than the actual titles.
