Just like every year, following the lb thread is so much more fun than actually watching.

Looks like I'm not the only one who just woke up and rolled out of bed.

I wonder which of Taylor or Lana will bring up the super bowl first.

And the fact it's just her repeating 'Your mom called, we chatted, she says hi' over and over.

This Nancy and Lee song was pretty much unknown until last year, and gives an idea of the country style I think is in Lana's bones.

Have you heard Dolly's latest album, Rockstar? Her voice isn't what it once was, but even so, there would be nothing strange about a duet with Lana.

Taste!

This week has been a shitshow for so many reasons, and the Queen just comes to redeem everything. Sometimes I feel like Lana is working through all of my musical obsessions, and I can't even speak for excitement. (And I don't even care about any negative comments - LDR X is going to slaaaaaaaaaaay).

These look so good, 'out in the wild'.

It smells like a business/bargaining tactic to me. Give it a couple of months, and things will be back exactly how they are now.

I don't think she's clarified directly, but she started talking about it being 14 years since she made her first album (that's 14 in Lana years, which means 13-15 years ago), as well as that Paradise has always been a companion to BTD. I've always wanted to consider Paradise an album, because it has the same number of songs and length as a big percentage of classic rock albums, but it never has been considered that, as far as I know.

Today it's A&W (listening to it every day leading up to the Grammys).

I finally got to hear the song, in a forum where nobody gets any money out of it, and hoo boy - I don't know what's going on, but it sounds like one of those TV shows that would play random 911 calls from people out of their minds on drugs, where they're just complaining about the people in their street.

I don't really know if it's common or not, but I just found out I can still download the 2015 version of Linden Place (3 track version) in CD quality from bandcamp, which I bought in 2015, even though it's not still up on the site. If anyone wants it, hit me up via DM.

Giving more information about a football game than her new music

It should work just by copying the url of the video straight into your post, so that posting: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cE6wxDqdOV0 will show it as a video:

Flashing back to 1989, when the Grammas awarded the first ever 'Best Hard Rock album' to Jethro Tull, when not only are JT not hard rock, by 1989 they were completely irrelevant (I'd be surprised if even Tull fans could name the record they won with), and snubbed the biggest hard rock band in the world then, Metallica. My point - they've always missed the point, and they will give her a lifetime achievement award in 2042 and claim they were always behind her.

There's this terrible article - I couldn't find the full interview, but this is from around the time of BTD's release. https://www.ellecanada.com/culture/music/lana-del-ray-would-die-to-buckley-s-music

I've been listening to Guts a lot the past couple of weeks, and I've been enjoying it a lot, but it's not even in the same league as Ocean Blvd, when it comes to lyrics, music, vocals, creativity, conceptual continuity (to steal a phrase from Frank Zappa), and overall presentation. I have a feeling, though, that Guts will win, based on how the Grammy tries to be relevant.

I think it is 'called up one drunk', but not 100% sure. However, I am 100% sure the charlatan line is completely wrong, mostly because it makes no sense.

It's so sad to hear that Mary Weiss, the lead singer of legendary girl group The Shangri Las, has passed away. One of the greats, and undeniably an influence on Lana and a million other singers of tragic songs. https://bestclassicbands.com/mary-weiss-shangri-las-obituary-1-19-24/

I'm trying to limit my excitement/delusions, but a Bratz doll might be the one piece of gratuitous merch I think I really need.

It's pretty hard to sum up everything wrong with stan culture in one tweet, but they really did give it a red hot go.

It's reminding me of this that happened almost ten years ago, which amounted to not that much, but was still something she (and we) got excited over. "Vice Now Running Shit"

Dogs in hats are going to be the new Flower Crowns.
