Ahhhh i've wanted to go take sailing lessons since I read Rebecca when I was 16....how is she literally in my head!

Violet (the poem) reminded me how absolutely important it is to unplug from the 24/7 news cycle, because sometimes it can be so frustrating listening to all this bad news ("everything) and being able to do "nothing" about it....until you realize that a lot of what's in the news is none of our business, and it certainly isn't our problem--and doing "nothing" is the best thing we can do 

 not for me only the book, the born to die songbook and a summertime sadness sheet

aghhh thats so frustrating i'm so sorry! hopefully it gets updated soon 

As someone who grew up in a tudor house near LA (Malibu), added to the fact that I can't go back right now because of covid, "Can I come home now" hits differently 

hmmmm on iBooks the names of the poems don't show up...just "track 1, track 2, track 3..." hopefully that changes 

same fuck

 

 

 

not in my country

it won't show up if you search for "Violets Bent Backwards Over the Grass" (only the digital ebook for pre-order does), but when i clicked on her name, it showed up on her "author page"

The Land of 1,000 Fires is giving me space witchcraft vibes

It's on iBooks. Try that?

omg its on it and its even 3 dollars cheaper!

thank you <3

Fuck audible. I’m so mad.

oh so its not just me/my country!

its still not available on Audible in my country...I thought it would be out globally at 12am EST 

sorry i'm a bit slow: so only LA... is gonna be uploaded to Apple Music/Spotfy as a single? Not the whole album, yes? 

didnt she for uv

flipside was on the target version, but it was also on Spotify, the fnac disc, and released on the standard Japanese version--so technically not exclusive, to me lol 

“LA, who am I to need you when I have needed so much, asked for so much, but what I have been given, I'm not sure yet

I may never know that either until I'm dead“

it's a poetic way of saying "Do you think I have time for imbeciles like you all? All you do is pay me dust"

The Witch on the Corner  was actually a children's book from 1966, in which the neighborhood children call the lady who lives on their street a "witch" so often, she actually decides to go out and learn the magic of the dark arts. The kids discover her trying to fly on a broom, and decide to help her master the dark arts, which she eventually does. 

I'm not exactly sure what the moral of the story is? "Embrace what they label you?" or "Become who you want others to perceive you as?"

i said this before but it got lost in the violet's thread...

the line "I took a free ride off a billionaires jet" sent a shiver down my spine, since I had just been reading about the latest news in the Epstein/Maxwell case...I hope right-wing, crazy "Q" Trump supporters don't come for her--she's already been getting enough internet hate these past few months  

hearing the words "I took a free ride on a billionaires jet" right after reading about Epstein/Maxwell made the hair on the back of my neck stand up...I hope conspiracy theorists/trump supporters don't take this and run with it 

Target exclusive songs? Pls lana would never

Nooo I’m hyped for a Jaguar E Type on the cover!!!! I want that shoot from December 2019

if she were to put an unreleased on COCC it should be Pawnshop blues

*Life Is Beautiful

The grammys are dead to me after this years disgrace

they have to give her one and some point....right ? 

No, she actually releases the album 4 days after the deadline!

perhaps for the best...especially if she'd be competing with Beyonce and potentially Lorde and Adele...

is the September release eligible for 2021 Grammy's? 

FIILY/The Greatest is her most amazing released video (tho I think the actual version of Architecture/NBAR would've given it a run for its money, had it been released)

Not trying to launch a personal attack because I fight people all the time and I'm sure I piss heaps of people off, but ....

 

The dude literally argues with everyone in a condescending manner, and when people present him with actual facts, he either ignores them or pretends that the facts presented to him don't make a difference to his point (which is usually based on the incorrect fact).

 

Like you find Swagger's post rude but you think it's okay to tell people they don't know how to read? Which was condescending af, because he was the person who had it wrong.

sorry, i didn't realize that that user had told someone they dont know how to read--and if they did, theyre in the wrong too...I just wanted to make a point that unnecessary ad hominem attacks aren't really helpful to discussing divisive issues that clearly impact real life people more than we can understand or know

user AlexParliament has been terrorizing this site for the last week straight, please Lana drop something to distract him!

really rude, you realize there are actual human beings with feelings behind every avatar...this could hurt someone; labeling someone who's clearly passionate about an artist as "terrorizing" a forum is uncalled for imo--regardless of wether you agree with them or not on a divisive issue 

does anyone have anymore back ground on Jack? His wikipedia entry doesnt really discuss how he got his start in music--is he classically trained/self taught? He certainly has an amazing ear for layering, riffs, and really unique chord progressions; which makes me think he might not be classically trained (I was trained in piano and musical theory, and it's quite shocking how much they preach "in the box" thinking)

Elaborating on the speculation that this was the album cover shoot: 

 

I can't tell if the photographer is a man wearing a cap or a woman with her blonde hair tied into a ponytail/low bun but my guess is the latter. Nicole Nodland has blonde hair.

 

Chuck usually uses medium format film to shoot her pictures, and this camera looks like a digital; the camera appears to be a DSLR, which is considered digital. Nicole's go-to cameras for her shoots with Lana were P25+ by Phase One and EOS 5D Mark II by Canon, which are DSLR cameras. 

 

We also see someone holding a light reflector, who is likely Nicole's assistant. Lana has said before that her shoots with Chuck are pretty casual, so I'm assuming it would just be the two of them and some friends relying on flash or natural light, as we can see in the HM, LFL and NFR covers. This looks more formal, as Nicole's editorial style sees her operate differently than someone with a more artistic and candid sensibility like Chuck.

 

The blue convertible Lana is in also seems to be the same car that Sean owns, pictured here: https://twitter.com/sean_c_larkin/status/1246248286203318274

 

TL;DR: Nicole Nodland shot the album cover on December 17, 2019 - it will likely be a portrait of Lana in Sean's blue convertible with chemtrails photoshopped into the sky above.

who are you who are so wise in the ways of Lana <3 

i'm so glad we're getting another car shoot! and that styling looks stunning in that LQ fan shoot!
