Fuck it I love you

Lmao whoops, I only saw 'Norway' in the website footer and put it in that way. Sarig, ic ne svensk sprecan huehue

There's a store based in Norway that ships within the EU, but they don't seem to have it at the moment. https://www.bengans.eu/en/artiklar/lana-del-rey-did-you-know-that-theres-a-tunnel-under-ocean-blvd-ltd-green-2lp.html And here are some other options: Note: It was easier to find indie record stores in the US and UK that have them. I can't find much for EU, but you can try some of those links, see if they'll ship internationally.

In some cultures, cassava leaves are a staple delicacy—they are a valuable source of protein, minerals, and vitamins. It takes a bit of preparation time, as in you would have to grind or pound them first to break down the antinutrients and cyanogenic glucosides that make them unsafe to eat. Incorrectly-prepared cassava leaves can lead to unwanted side effects. What I'm saying is, you guys need to come in with a clear head and take some time with the album. Just enjoy it as it is—some of you may not enjoy it at first, but maybe in time you will. If you're gonna rush in with high expectations, it's only gonna leave a bad taste in your mouth.

I present to you Lana album titles, along with song names, in my native tongue—Kayan, an indigenous language spoken in different parts of Borneo. Aran Dara, Lizzy Grant (AKA Lizzy Grant) — old name, lizzy grant Kanak Avan Matei (Born to Die) — birthed for the purpose of death Shurga (Paradise) — heaven Nepidit-matei (Ultraviolence) — overly violent Bulanmadu (Honeymoon) — honeymoon Peketama' Urip (Lust for Life) — aroused for life Norman Rockwell, Kihma’! (Norman Fucking Rockwell!) — norman rockwell, you cunt! Lisun Ngelivut Country Club (Chemtrails Over the Country Club) — smoke surrounding the country club Tegan Nyemit (Blue Banisters) — blue banisters Kitan ka’ te’ ngavan panau hida Ocean Blvd (Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd) — did you know that there's a pathway under Ocean Blvd ^some words are difficult to translate, some are borrowings from Malay. I also made back translations, for giggles lmao

As of now, Universal Music Malaysia have no plans on bringing in the webstore exclusive CDs to their store. I'll just have to wait on the UK store to make untracked shipment available for Malaysian customers again. Lmao I'm too broke to pay shipping almost triple the price of the CD variant that I want

Looking into purchasing vinyl records for the first time. Before anything—a proper The Paradise Edition LP never actually existed, right? As in, it was just a variant of the Paradise EP that came bundled with the "limited edition slipcase."

I think this should answer it for everyone—but if the rest of us globally have to wait on EST to hit midnight on the 24th for Ocean Blvd, imma riot lmao

I don't have a great memory, but I remember albums coming out on their release dates at midnight local time, according to your own timezones. Is this still true?

You referring to these illustrations?

Omg all her UK physical media like CDs, vinyl, and cassettes are manufactured in the Netherlands. Could it be?

Lmao so basically, Assai Records just deadass get some 500 copies of the indie pressings, tear up the original foil, add a strip of paper with badly translated Japanese text/description, repackage them with new foils, and then try to pass them off as some sort of "limited-quantity Japanese pressings with superior sound quality," when in reality, these are the exact same pressings they'll get from any other indie record stores. Assai customers must really feel special, huh?

Only selected webstores will have merch, although you have the option between the UK webstore or the Canadian one, both of which ship internationally. Unless the Assai exclusive comes with Japanese pressings, I don't think paying extra for a strip of paper is worth it. Although, I've come to learn money is no object for some of you on Lanaboards. My broke, unemployed ass be weeping at the sight of my wallet lmao

So far, I think only the retail exclusive CD will come with a poster while the rest of variants are gonna ship with regular booklets. Personally, I would've liked a poster separated from the booklet, lol but that's gonna use up a lot of paper Yeah, all Target-exclusive CDs since Lust for Life (except Blue Banisters) have poster foldouts in place of booklets.

I made a thread on Lana music on physical media, explaining the differences between exclusives she puts out for her records. Basically, any retail exclusive CD/LPs are consistent across all major retail chains that sells them, so if, say, a Target version of album sold in the US ships with a poster, the version they have at HMV in the UK and Fnac in France are also going to have posters.

Few days ago, I reached out to the UK webstore support asking about the missing untracked shipment at checkout. As it turns out, they still have that option but there's nothing they can do for now and they can only pass on my feedback to the webstore team. For context, I live on the other side of the world. Standard courier goes for just £2.29, but I can only select the £25.74 tracked courier. Long story short, I'm poor and GPB/MYR exchange rate is fucking terrible lmao Although I could always wait on the Southeast Asian webstore, but it seems like they're taking their sweet time adding the new CD versions to their catalogue (lmao it's only been half a day since they announced the new variants)

Get the CD bundle, and order the pink CD from HMV

I'm squealing
