Anthem

Interesting she said Hollywood was "released" with the wrong production... I was shocked at how pointedly she called out some of the unreleased tracks - she always acts like nothing exists and there are SO many it seems possible that she might have actually forgotten some. Its really cool to know she has so many songs and thinks fondly of so many of them. I wouldn't be counting on all of the tracks mentioned being on the supposed "unreleased album", this is the same person that changed her mind very late in the game about Yosemite. Not to poke a tired meme further, just know that she can be fickle sometimes so I wouldn't hang on to every mention as a confirmed spot on the tracklist. For speculation, I'd imagine Serial Killer and Us Against the World as givens since she sang them live on tour. Hollywood seems likely, although I wonder how she feels about that song since it almost feels like.. longing for fame? She called it out on her own and sang it so who knows. I wouldn't want AKA tracks, they are all fine and perfect as is, and I wouldn't want recent outtakes we already have that already sound high quality (Fine China, Your Girl, etc). I'd rather have rougher stuff repolished, like Daytona Meth/On Our Way, or totally new songs we don't actually know about or early versions of final songs, like Melancholia.

Ok, super long post-first-listen messy analysnot.

Omg it's out early on Spotify! I'm finally about to listen and I'm so excited after hearing so much

I hope that it comes earlier than midnight for the West Coast, I feel like ether Halseys or Lordes albums came at 8 or 9.. usually it's awesome being down on the West Coast because she does so much for LA fans and I get so many more references in the songs, but we get the music released almost last in the entire world lol, at least officially. I have work training tomorrow and would rather listen tonight in my hotel than try and cram it in tomorrow morning or wait until tomorrow night(!) And god bless that this thread is almost ready to be closed.

OT but seeing you type these out made it JUST hit me how hilarious Swan Song and DLMBM being one after the other is... she is literally saying "yes, I wrote a song called Swan Song, no, i'm not quitting music". Not that I think it is why she chose that cover, but a clever/funny piece nonetheless I like this analysis re: LFL tracklist, CWIMM makes more sense and actually, to me, explains why I felt like it was "out of place" earlier... because it mixes the two sides of the album and is the bridge, it fits neither here nor there, but is its own part of the story.

What kind of prophecy, I just posted about Change snippets.

I'm excited for GBA, Cherry, and Change. I didn't like Change from the insta snippets but hearing it in HQ makes it sound so sinister. I'm not really getting the In My Feelings hype. GBA is going to be perfect for watching fireworks, it sounds so dark and gives amazing visuals of hanging out on fire escapes in the city at night with tensions in the air. Sorry but listening to the snippets CWIMM sounds even more out of place to me. Idk what the weird bass thing is in the instrumental but it makes the song feel "bloated" to me. I think strings would have been nicer.

The new snippet of White Mustang, unfortunately. Caught up in my dreams and forgetting I've been acting like armageddon 'cause you Hold me in your arms just a little too tight thats what i thought Summer's meant for loving and leaving But I was such a fool for believing that you Could change all the ways you been living But you just couldn't stop Literally up awake right now because I just snapped internally and realized I don't think I want to be with my boyfriend of 4 years anymore and I literally can't lie down next to him in our bed.

She wasn't in Yosemite when she posted the original Coachella snippet - she was at either Big Bear or Lake Arrowhead because she mentioned being on Rim of the World Highway and those places are inbetween Coachella and LA.

So this is the era of scheduling stuff that Lana is not aware of The email I got about the reservation didn't mention anything, though I explicitly asked about Lana. Done.

Their dinner menu is like $12 avocado toast, I doubt you have to reserve VIP tables to go. Or at least I hope cause I'm broke

Also MATD dropped Froot song on her birthday, after having a party thing if I remember right #collabconfirmed #obviously

I'm trying to go! I doubt she won't mention anything at all, if she wanted to celebrate her birthday and not acknowledge anything regarding her music she'd do it in private and not at a publicly announced event that fans will presumably go to. She wouldn't be open inviting fans to stuff if she didn't have something to say, she's too private for that and knows better by now. Also this is a club, so I'm imagining this is 21+ which weeds out the crazy teens. I'm optimistic! I just hope I make it in!

I don't think we are getting any info because she wants the dust of Lorde and Halsey to settle before trying to get anyone's attention again. She probably knows she missed the boat, and trying to promote an album while so many others in her sphere are dropping theirs just seems like it wouldn't be as effective. It makes sense to me to wait until next week or the week after for the preorder or any announcements since we are finally through the big releases of June, and next week is a month before, which I think is more the timeline she's historically worked off of.

I just bought a ticket! I had no idea she was playing so close to me - only like 30 minutes away. After hearing the snippet and realizing how close she was I HAD to, blew off going camping with friends lol. Us LA fans are stupidly spoiled. Also, @meultraviolence the show starts at 12pm PST, Lana goes on at 6pm PST. EDIT: Also just realized her set is only 30 minutes long

Galaxy - Love XO - Lust for Life ft. Weeknd Chimera Music - Something to do with John Lennon/that label? Moon - ?? Whisk - the rest of the album? Some title that has mix in it? ..?? Doubtful that those aren't clues to songs after reading that article.

...

Hearing Marina is back is one of the happiest things to happen in a while. She's been so important to me and the prospect of her not making any more music left such a void.

I was there, she was awesome. She seemed way more lively on stage and sounded so good, but she did roll her eyes quite a few times, look bored, and messed up lyrics but that was fine. The difference in confidence and enjoyment from seeing her in Atlanta in 2014 versus last night was amazing. She really does need to mix up the setlist, but I'm glad we at least got Freak and not Summertime Sadness or Carmen. I was very happy to finally hear Yayo live because that is my favorite song from her but why in the world she didn't do West Coast is beyond me. The crowd chanted for Salvatore after she did Freak but she ignored us. The crowd was actually really good for a Lana show, they weren't screaming and singing super loud. It was nice on the beach but honestly the way the place was shaped you couldn't really tell how close you were to the ocean - I couldn't see it at any point in time. I know this is blasphemy on here but I actively disliked Cat's performance.

Are those fake AKA vinyls worth buying? Do they sound okay?

After I won the M&G they took me aside to sign a form and get a wristband and told me to come back in like an hour. Ended up waiting in line when I came back for for about an hour total. 30-45 minutes to get in and a little more time while we all took photos, etc. And thank you, it made my whole weekend I drove 6 hours to see her and had thought about selling the tickets and I am so glad I didn't.

So I got there and within 10 minutes of standing in line I won a meet and greet + first entry! It wasn't really much of a meet and greet, more just a photo with her and I was so awkward I just kind of walked away after thanking her. I'm just not pushy enough to take up someones time I really wanted to tell her how inspiring I found her and ask about her music more but oh well. She was very sweet to everyone though. The concert was AMAZING, she is an awesome live performer and I was able to get front row. Made lots of eye contact and even got a wave Overall a 10/10 experience, I am probably going to try getting tickets to her show in LA in Oct now. Probably my favorite part was when she did her encore she did Gingerbread Man (!!!) for us, which I really, really love that song so I was so happy! She said it was only her second time performing it.

Saw her last night in LA. She is actually a really good performer, it was a great concert. It was actually cool to see her moving around a lot and dancing considering Lana is the only pop artist I've seen live and is my only basis of comparison. She stopped and talked a few times and just seemed very sweet. I'm excited to see what her next album is going to look like. I walked away from the concert being very inspired myself. The audience was actually pretty good too about not acting like idiots, but I wasn't really anywhere close to the front. -1 for her tour shirts being black/white with roses. Not that Lana is the first person to use roses all over everything, but don't fuel the copycat accusation fire with merch that doesn't even fit the aesthetic of your album (seriously none of her shirts looked anything like the Badlands visuals) and looks like something from an artist you are frequently accused of copying. Its also really boring. I still bought the shirt though.

Seeing her tomorrow night at a 1000 person venue, very excited!
