Pretty Dull

Randomly I got to see this live yesterday. Best moment: Lana making signs to the fan to shut her up when she asked about Wildflower Wildfire right after her father came into the room hahahaha

so
when Lana was talking to a fan, someone commented ''choose another gay please'' and i just spit all of the water on my laptop screen. Some of yall...💀

i love how lana ignored the fact that taylor secman name thing lmaooo she was like "oh i have no idea that's so weird" girl bye

The way she was about to say really interesting shit a few times and just stopped mid sentence every time
 
she was gonna go on about being angry at someone in FMWUTTT, she was gonna talk about Hope’s music video, she was gonna answer any heavy question before rob got there, so many times I was left so curious. This was the best live she’s ever done and I think she was more comfortable because less people had access to it since honeymoon is private. I hope she does these more often, it was so interesting and heartwarming I loved it 

Same!! That’s what I miss most about her Instagram I think, she had all these great posts about the media she was consuming 

4 stars from Rolling Stone!
 
Lana Del Rey Goes Deeper Than Ever on ‘Blue Banisters’
Her second album of the year is dense and abstract, turning inward and finding solace in sisterhood

Me when the outro of IYLDWM starts
 

IYLDWM having double the streams of the other tracks shows how much you can manipulate numbers just with playlisting 

Me in the livestream commenting nice things at Lana while knowing she will never see them because I have a private trap account with 0 posts and 0 followers

Lana is in fact a Living Legend 

Bear with me, but I had a neat observation: after listening to BB, I think it’s interesting how frequently Lana ends a record by explicitly emphasizing femininity (often directly with the titles) and her interpretation of it. 
 
This Is What Makes Us Girls closes her debut record with supercut-like imagery of the friendship dynamics with women in her early years. The standard version of Ultraviolence does something similar in closing with a cover of The Other Woman, offering a less unified approach to TIWMUG’s love-centric expression.  

Lust For Life ends with Get Free, a track that defies the very love reliance she punctuated BTD and UV with, thereby adhering to this commitment for the women she felt were impacted by it: Amy Winehouse and Whitney Houston. In its entirety, it’s almost an ode to women and their liberation from toxicity. 

In NFR, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have…BIHI—both in the title and its content—directly confronts her position as a woman that has been submerged in a world that often felt hopeless. 
 
COCC (an album designed to clarify and embrace her femininity) completes her narrative with a cover alongside two women she reveres in their artistry, even allowing one of them to have the last note on the record. 
 
Her recent release seems to continue this pattern with the heartwarming, irreverent ballad Sweet Carolina. The track is a reassurance to her sister, a promise of constancy as she emerges into the commitment of motherhood. 
 
Whether intentional or not, I really found this trend interesting. You could make similar arguments for Paradise and Honeymoon touching on this as well, but I felt the other records encompassed femininity a bit more directly. Let me know what you think!

Here's some pictures from a fan who's there! (@dannyhairdresser on IG)

 
 
Looks like signed art cards inside of a copy of Violet were given to the first 30 people -

homedude is in the middle of his grindr date talking to lana

she said she does everything in one take a boss ass bitch

"The amazing thing is we sat down in the studio. We wrote it at home, but when we went to record it I sat down at the piano and I was looking at Lana through the glass panel and started to play. She started to sing. I had the headphones, and we did it in one take." - Rob
 
"I do everything in one take" - Lana 
 
"We looked at each other when it was done and we were like, what happened?" - Rob
 
"It's a lot of pressure to be in a really nice studio, but when we're at home he just plays and plays and plays." - Lana
 
 
Lana & Rob about Sweet Carolina x

Her telling her not to ask abt the line abt her mother

Lana confirmed the lyric in Ultraviolence is "I'm a dragon" 
"because I was so fucking pissed off at this person. So I was like, I'm a dragon, you're a whore! And it was going to rhyme with something, but I never ended up rhyming it, so it didn't make sense, but whatever."
 
 
whore = Lorde confirmed?
