honeymoon + got ocean blvd from my boyfriend last week (both the standard black ones, i like them classic) 💘
 

done! also NOTTTHHHIIINNNNNGGGG beats the standard cover imo tho i i'm soo drawn to the amazon one too
 

this is one of my favourite lines 

i think it's rly important to note (bc there's already sm misunderstanding and misinformation abt these disorders) that bipolar disorder isn't a personality disorder - it's a mood disorder, and that u might be conflating it w borderline personality disorder ("bpd")
 
it also shouldn't be controversial to talk about mood/personality disorders. i dreeeam of the day everyone (including the media...) talks abt them without villainising/objectification. what's controversial to me is when u suggest people have it when u aren't qualified and have very little to no information on said people, esp when they already aren't painted in the best light, as it can be stigmatising and perpetuate stereotypes
 
i know we want to speculate on and question certain lyrics but i think we should just in general do so w care
 
aaand i fucking love this song  just listened to it for the first time in ages. this, text book, if u lie down w me, and wildflower wildfire forever <3

Hoping for a fun upbeat album in the vein of Jimmy and Peppers! I feel like one day she will fully commit to it and make a whole album like that and I hope that day will come soon. It would be very refreshing and people would eat it up. Mike Dean get in there!

i'll add more later once the wayback machine is back up, i got all of these from an imgur album made by @evilentity https://imgur.com/a/xAKeg

I only know them because of @Alison by Slowdive

Hello Lanaboards Community!
 
Today I would like to introduce you to a band that I think is absolutely worth listening to: Slowdive. This British rock band was formed in Reading, Berkshire in 1989 and consists of Rachel Goswell (vocals and guitar), Neil Halstead (vocals and guitar), Christian Savill (guitar), Nick Chaplin (bass) and Simon Scott (drums). Slowdive is known for their unique dream-pop and shoegaze sound, which enjoyed great popularity in the 1990s.
 
The band has released four studio albums, three compilation albums, five EPs, five singles and four music videos. Their debut album "Just for a Day" was released in 1991. Although it initially received mixed reviews, their second album "Souvlaki" is now considered one of the best albums of the 1990s and one of the greatest shoegaze albums of all time.
 
Slowdive disbanded in 1995, but reunited in 2014 and performed at the Primavera Sound Festival in Barcelona. Since then they have been active and released their self-titled album "Slowdive" in 2017. 
 
Their sound is characterized by atmospheric harmonies, psychedelic guitar layers and ambient production. Influences range from folk rock to dub to ambient techno. The band members themselves name bands like Sonic Youth, Can, The Byrds and My Bloody Valentine as sources of inspiration.
 
Since we are all Lana Del Rey fans, I thought Slowdive might be an interesting addition to our musical discussions. You might like her dreamy sounds and fascinating melodies if you like Lana Del Rey's atmospheric songs.
 
In anticipation of their new single "Kisses" releasing in two days, check out some of their music on YouTube:
 
 
 
 
 
Let's discuss Slowdive here, share their albums, songs and influences, and maybe even find out if there's any overlap between Slowdive and Lana Del Rey fans. I look forward to hearing your opinions and thoughts!
 
Have fun exploring Slowdive! 🎶

my thing with COCC is that it feels so preoccupied, if that makes sense, with the phase lana was going through in her life, at the time?
 
it kinda gets in the way of the music - like, sure, i enjoy Wild At Heart, Dark But Just a Game, and Dance Till We Die, but like, it's an extremely topical album
 
she really could've scrapped the whole thing and put White Dress, and the title track, on BB instead
 
(and we could've gotten Yosemite as an unreleased single in the vein of SYTH, right about now lol)

Just watched Mandy w my bf - so good 😭😮‍💨 I hadn’t even heard of it before. Highly recommend it to anyone who likes lsd, Tulsa Jesus freaks, and smoky neon lighting 

blade runner's score has some of my favourite pieces of music ever and i used to daydream abt them working together like esp on the original lust for life  🕊

Absolutely my thoughts. Lust for Life darker songs (honorable mention Lust for Life demo 1) would probably be the closest we heard that Vangelis type of sound. But I wasn’t thinking of Blade Runner when I made that statement:) more like Vangelis’s early 70s records.
