It’s been hot in LA. Great time to go to the beach!

So many people these days will yell “passive aggressive” while not even knowing what that term means. It’s actually a clinical diagnosis too and I go to a therapist and was never diagnosed with that. I was diagnosed with bipolar disorder which is not the same. This is not a discussion of psychology on this thread, nor do I think we have any licensed social workers on here. I think we should keep this thread on topic and not use it as a means of provoking reactions. I have fully committed to staying on topic and not engaging in arguments.

So this was a really great interview. It really gives you insight into the working relationship between Lana and Jack. I think these two will be working together for a long time. They kind of remind me of Billy Joel and the late Phil Ramone and their working relationship. So it looks like this record will have a folk to country vibe like a predicted. I am thrilled about this as I love those genres. Folk music is really Lana’s roots. Lana is very in touch with what is around her and as a great writer she has to be. She mentions panic attacks which is something I relate to because I experience them too. It would good having Jack interview her because he is a musician and her understands art. But in this interview we (her fans... her real fans) see the Lana we know and love. This is the same woman we all fell in love with 9 years ago. I love how when discussing one of the songs Lana says she could have broken it down more. Like any talented musician, Lana is her own top critic and we see how she holds herself up to high standards. She sure is a hard worker. Very much looking forward to everything to come. Thank you Elle for sharing and writing this all out too!!

Thank you. If I said that I would be attacked.

Thank you for saying what I was going to say. You just used less words than I would.

I didn't know Lana was a football fan. I can't believe she is a San Francisco 49ers fan though. She lives in LA so I thought she would root for the Rams. I'm a Las Vegas Raiders fan.

Weyes Blood is incredibly talented. I really wish more people were talking about her. Her style is really old school which I love.

Good question! So Ben (a few years ago) complained about unreleased songs from Lana leaking through here. Ben is no fan of this page. But this was a few years ago so I don’t remember exactly.

Idk, I tend to see more critical comments of Lana on here than praise. But I’m sure she has come on here at least occasionally. Maybe if she is bored she does.

That’s why I keep saying we should be very careful what we say on here. If I were in Lana’s position, I would want to fuck around with everyone because it would be fun. I’m willing to bet that Lana is doing just that and laughing about it too.

That he was! He and Lana would have gotten along really well too!

Beautiful as always!

People on social media often post 12:12 when it is 12:12. One of my Facebook friends likes to post 11:11 every day at that time. Maybe Lana is getting into this now too!

I don’t see this obsession with K-Pop, much like how I never understood the obsession people had with boy bands in the late 90s/ early 2000s. Their fans are rabid. Say one thing remotely critical of them and the fans attack you like mosquitos. Personally I think this K-POP thing will fizzle out over time. As for us Lana fans, we should have a name. Lanatics is fine by me. Actually maybe we need a thread on Lanaboards for developing a name for this fan base! Maybe a poll too!

Just adding more context. It seemed like some were confused (in the chemtrials thread) as to why she was posting this, so that’s why I added that link to the billboard article.

I once had a dream that Lana had me fix her 1981 Mercedes 380 SL. I got it running and Lana was so happy that she adopted me!

Don’t see how it’s petty at all. She is promoting something that is for a good cause. She’s not performing at this event but by her posting this, it shows that she isn’t making everything on her IG about herself. Some more context about Farm Aid: https://www.billboard.com/amp/articles/news/festivals/9442877/willie-nelson-35th-farm-aid-lineup Lana herself grew up in Lake Placid which is a rural part of the country. There are a lot of farms around there and growing up she probably saw just how difficult farming was for local growers. So this is a cause she has probably been championing for a while. A lot of the people performing this year happen to be musicians that Lana admires too.

Lana is on here and she probably has posted some stuff. Maybe some people who work for her are on here too. I doubt Ben and Ed have accounts but they might have someone on here keeping an eye on things for them. If Lana is on here, I doubt she spends much time on here though. So I would look at people who post occasionally.

Lana’s latest IG Post: so for those of you who are wondering what this is about, Farm Aid is an annual benefit concert started by Willie Nelson. Neil Young was also involved. This year it enters its 35th year. The concerts purpose is to support farmers. This year its supporting farmers during the COVID-19 pandemic and the economic threats they face. This years event will also address climate change and how it affects farming. In addition to that the issue of racial justice will be addressed by this benefit concert. it will be held in a virtual format. Even though Lana herself is not in the lineup, she believes in this cause and this is why she is promoting this event.

My guess the second day (sunday). Probably right after principal photography wrapped.

Thanks for sharing this! I am curious if this music video will be just for the title track of the album, or if it might be a video for two or three songs together.

1. Norman Fucking Rockwell 2. Honeymoon 3. Ultraviolence 4. Lust For Life 5. Born to Die 6. Paradise 7. AKA Please note that I LOVE all these albums! They are all exceptional and ranking them is no easy task.

Hopefully this post keeps everyone happy. Told you she would be telling us something soon. She has been really busy and just needed the right time to communicate. Lana looks lovely as always!!

No. My guess is the priority right now is the first poetry book. Who knows what the contract with her publisher says. I think the album is done and ready to go, but I think no move will be made until after the first poetry book comes out. Also, considering the current situation with this pandemic, so many things have gotten delayed. Nothing is normal. They may have been late getting the record mastered, maybe they were late doing the photoshoot. Who knows. But I do think the album is coming soon. Probably in the fall/ before the holidays.

I’m not sure if Lana “hates” these other singers. I think at most she resents the fact that someone like Lorde who wouldn’t have a career without Lana has the audacity to criticize Lana. Lana was managed by Bob Leone in New York and so was Lady Gaga. Perhaps Lana felt that she only got ahead because of her act. Maybe Lana felt that despite having the more authentic songs that Gaga got ahead first because of her act. As for Ariana Grande, it is an open secret that she is not a nice person and that she has a bad attitude. I would not be shocked if Lana bumped heads with her. Many people do. Ariana has had staff members quitting on her. Lana innovates and inspires other artists such as Lorde and Billie Eilish. Yet Lana has no Grammys, Lorde has two, Billie has five. Lana has every right to be pissed off about that. The innovator gets looked over while those who were inspired by her gets recognized first. Lana is very down to earth and authentic. I think Lana looks at the music industry and sees industry plants, a lack of authenticity, a lack of honest songwriting etc. They get praised for ripping off Lana. They get praised despite lacking authenticity. But Lana is authentic and the critics complain about her. So yes, Lana was 100% correct in her IG post from May. She has the right to be pisses off at the music industry establishment. I feel the same way.
