Okay... Really glad for A&W but it's been a week with zero promo, no Ocean Blvd post, no news, nada... 
Is something going to happen or are they letting the music speak for itself yet again for like the third time in a row?

A&W was added on the Pitchfork Selects playlist this morning, joining Did you know that there’s a tunnel under Ocean Blvd, Text Book, Black Bathing Suit, and Sweet Carolina as the only Lana tracks to make the cut (the playlist was first created in March 2020). It’s also the fifth Lana song to get the Best New Track seal of approval along with Video Games, Love, Venice Bitch, and The greatest. Ocean Blvd is coming for NFR’s wig.

Chemistry: for turning sadness into gold
Economics: for creating the vinyl and taco truck economy
Medicine: for curing everyone’s acne
mathematics: for figuring out how to get streaming numbers into the billions with just a typewriter and 18-hour naps
Peace: for making putin kill himself after she says to him that she called his mother and told her he’s fucking up big time

hear me on this: once Tunnel gets recognised by everyone as the best album ever and gets the long awaited grammy, and then she gets an Oscar after Candy Necklace becomes the theme song of the new Willy Wonka movie, she should just rework Behind the Iron Gates and get a Nobel Prize for literature while she’s at it. 

@American Whore 

Taco Truck gonna top A&W I feel it

currently waiting for the grants

ocean Blvd is shaping up to do that for me also. Plus there seems to be A LOT to process with this one… 
Norman was the last big era from her that I couldn’t listen to anything else for months… 

this woman’s work ethic really is insane like, they’re amazing songs too! AND she’s toured quite a bit in the last decade as well. idk how she consistently stays so creative, it’s actually kind of a miracle. the only other artist of our time i can think of that puts out such quality content as prolifically as Lana is Adrianne Lenker whose put out 11 amazing albums since 2014

Apologies in advance if this has already been discussed, but Lana said in her interview that she originally fit 6 titles into one for the original LDR9 name. 
 
Given that the tracklist we have now allegedly has misleading titles, do we think that Pearl, Psycho Lifeguard, etc. were original titles for the current songs on LDR9? 
 
I suppose they could be scrapped tracks, but it’s interesting given that we know there was a shift in the tracklist names per insiders. 
 
edit: this was talked about 1 hour ago here. ignore me

people call lana lazy and shit on her for doing minimal promotion like she’s not about to release her 10th album in 11 years, 8 of which have 14+ tracks, and she’s probably simultaneously working on 3 more as we speak

Same! Might be unpopular here, but the strings opening Ocean Blvd are just so incredible… Same with the piano in the second verse. 

smash single 
 
the way everyone said NO to Arcadia 

I can't believe how good Ocean Blvd is. It really dethroned Born to Die as her best title track for me.
