moonbeam monsoon

maybe the label wanted to test the waters of releasing music without artist promo on sm? Lana has an established and pretty broad fan base demographically so they could have decided she was the safest bet for such an experiment. Did she ever directly say she was leaving for her mental health? I don’t remember her exact wording honestly. but didn’t she “go offline” before the COCC release? Phase one of a longer term plan perhaps edit- it also got her in the news, deleting all her social media platforms. That’s promo in itself, maybe even more effective buzz than a few instagram posts

awoh thank you! Taken from two of my favorite moments on BB

Truly!!

Also is there a leaked version of Living Legend that doesn’t have the wa-wa-wa’s or did I dream this

Are Living Legend, Nectar of the Gods, Cherry Blossom going to be new/altered recordings like Next Best American Record, or will they be in their originally leaked form? What’s the lanaboards consensus on this?

Because she’s the single best recording artist at the moment and has been for a long time and she doesn’t need to parade around. Also we’re entereing a new era for social media and Lana’s at the forefront, as we would expect her to be. Anyway, everyone jokes that she doesn’t follow label rules but I’m pretty sure they have enough leverage that if the album success rode on social media they could convince her to post. Pls. why are you even here

And I’m not worried about Adele 87 either she can release on October 22 if she dares. Which she doesn’t- Adele fully knows who’s boss, numbers ain’t shit anyway

Blue Banisters is a timeless masterpiece and burying an Elton John album will be the least of its legacy

Without You my favorite Lana song that I regularly forget exists- which is kind of fine with me because I get to rediscover it regularly. Anyway this is great

1. White Dress 2. Ultraviolence 3. Terrence Loves You 4. Cherry 5. Diet Mountain Dew 6. National Anthem (runner up Freak) 7. Pretty When You Cry 8. In My Feelings 9. California 10. Thunder 11. When the World Was at War We Kept Dancing 12. Bartender (runner up Black Beauty) 13. Living Legend 14. Heroin 15. Change 16. Get Free

blue banisters n the banisters are strong

Excuse me. Living Legend won’t forget this gross attack

Charlie just revealed Lana’s fashion inspiration for LMLYLAW Fallon appearance. She maybe classed it up a little but this is exactly how I remember it. There’s even a Chemtrails wolf

I need answers I can’t play this unidentified snippet game. Full track and title asap if this is on BB I can’t even… It sort of sounds related to Arcadia a little bit so maybe it’s really part of the Erickson set?? LFL era Nowels vocals, that does make sense… And it reminds me of Yes to Heaven

Omggg it gives me like Cyndi Lauper or something iconically 80s I can’t put my finger on I love it

Oh no I seriously thought that was the sweetest idea. Continuing my tradition here of confidently not knowing what I’m talking about. Hopefully you lb legends still get something together at least.

I can’t find the thread atm but it’s a 10th anniversary commemorative book project @Clampigirl is spearheading

QFTC- inspired by the upcoming 10th anniversary of Born to Die and the amazing fan-made book project, I’ve been playing the album and feeling my philosophical self. Can anyone imagine the culture if LANA DEL REY never rose to fame and remained an obscure performance artist? I shudder at the thought. I think I’d be truly dead by spontaneous combustion in a 2010s world of Gagas, Kardashians, and vapid influencers alone. Some good performers make bops and some great musicians make a couple of powerful albums if they’re lucky, but Lana has given us a whole unassailable catalog of songs that serve many functions, not least as biting and brilliant cultural critiques. Lana isn’t a bop machine, nor even simply a rocket to the moon, but for a regular Joe like me she’s a whole ticket to the cosmos. Transformative and transcendent. Sometimes I wonder if I’ll ever love another human like I love and am grateful for Elizabeth Grant’s open and often bleeding heart. I know this is the BB pre-release thread and I’m getting there. What I’ve heard of the album is so truly magnificent that I barely have words. I cannot stop playing Living Legend-Cherry Blossom-Nectar of the Gods. Dealer and Thunder feel like an evolution of my favorite sounds from Lust for Life (a monumental work I’ll defend to my dying breath). Text Book and Blue Banisters scared me when they first released but sound incredible in the larger context. Wildflower Wildfire is a Heroin-level track in my humble opinion. And Arcadia. Oh, Arcadia. Listening like I listened to Video Games means playing the video on YT and seeing the truth of Hollywood in the eyes of Paz de la Huerta. Only this time the truth is fully in Lana, fully possessing her authorial power, and it isn’t just Hollywood but the mercurial and painful Arcadia we’re all living in. I love her I truly love her. And I’m so completely thankful.

.

says who you sounds like a you problem tho I don’t trust people who *single out* 13 Beaches as a LFL highlight I just don’t I don’t know what this means and therefore I do not accept This pervasive LFL heresy must be stopped we must all stop spreading this LIE This THIS this is truth. Blue Banisters is the monsoon, the sweeping flood, the final ascension

I don’t think Violets for Roses has leaked, could be wrong, if it has leaked I need to hear ASAP this album is shaping up to be truly incredible

thank you ?

Ya, I know about it. What I’m asking is- the demo-sounding track on the must-not-be-named website, the track labeled Dealer, with the lyrics You make my head spin honey like the record machine sways my body has it been floating around for awhile? Is it an old song that I missed somehow? I googled the lyrics and couldn’t find anything
