Aaron ForWhateverReason enjoyed Chemtrails . . . It seems Chemtrails is an unlikely fav for Lana fans and received a high metacritic score. -

Lana songs you can’t listen to anymore and why?
Louise replied to Doll Harlow's topic in Lana Thoughts
So it is a good memory - thank God! In this day and age, one can't be surprised at any nasty thing. Ever since Cee low tweeted, You want to keep your precious memory - I get that! Not want to spoil it. Okay. Respect. -
Yes, I liked it. This quote: That's it in a nutshell! Editor of Gigwise Lucy Harbron demos her skills in one sentence, instead of paragraphs dominating an article. criminally overlooked by awards underappreciated as a writer largely misunderstood Check check check! Awards: It isn't 100 % true with the Billboard Women in Music Visionary award and Variety 2021 Decade, Award but Lana has not been nominated for a mainstream award like Oscar, which she should have for Big Eyes and Young and Beautiful . . . Billboard and Variety invented the above awards because they knew Lana was past due! Underappreciated as a writer: As Lana mentioned in Interview, Sasha Frere-Jones wrote: He must be eating his words now! NY Times critic Jon Caramanica said: Caramanica backed out of these words in subsequent reviews, tho, like a lot of critics, and Pitchfork, who revised its BTD rating from 5.5 in 2012 to 7.8 in 2021! All these journalism degree writers do not know how to listen to music, imo. Public education has failed them. Only recently Lana has begun being celebrated as song-writer, esp. with NFR. Bruce Sprinsteen said about Lana, "Simply One of the Best Songwriters . . . She just creates a world of her own and invites you in." So acknowledgement comes from musicians, not journalists, which forces journalists to pay attention. Sorry for the long post.

Because the append of VB onto Taco Truck is the heavier, demo version, maybe it will fall fresh on your ears . . . from the review on Gigwise: Gigwise gave the album 10/10! Buzz is fever pitch! Disclaimer: I am saying from the virgin perspective of avoiding leaks . . . I, too, would like to experience DYKTTATUOB in one listen the way it is meant! Except for the singles. Of course I enjoyed those, esp. The Grants. -

Did you see Aaron's (ForWhateverReason on yt) review? He played both and immediately chose the demo. But I prefer the studio. It isn't Lana songs, but the videos. When the audio to Ride was released, it grew on me until I soared on the melody and the bridge . . . Ride lifted me to the sky, then a week later the video came out and smashed me to the gutter. -

Louise replied to ultrablvd's topic in Latest News
After I posted on the 9th, I stayed away from LanaBoards . . . But I remember the discussion about Kintsugi's "surprise," that it isn't music-related but it is for the fans . . . So my delulu projection I wasn't going to share is: Lana moves the diamond ring from her right hand to her left, and will announce her impending marriage! Until I scanned twitter for Lana mentions and this: Left hand, folks. And there is a slender, diamond eternity, or wedding band! Congrats to Lana! As a fan of 61 years, a mommy-of-Lana age . . . single or married, I hope Lana would find peace. I couldn't understand why fans were against Lana and the cop! Free protection, fans! I was like Mrs. Bennet crying in this scene from Pride and Prejudice acted superbly by Alison Steadman: -

It looks like an outdoor event on a day AM showers and a high of 58F . . . actually at the tunnel entrance at Junipero Beach a long stretch bet. Junipero Ave and Veteran’s Memorial Pier, visible to the left, above, according to FingerTipsMusic facebook post: Otherwise, looks like fun. Southern California band Pollen Collective will cover Lana tunes live, so it looks to go past an hour from the 5PM start time! https://www.facebook.com/FingerprintsLongBeach/posts/pfbid029p15W3Xja7AKdwRwRsZB7PQVS6RXStpxUCcYoKmkKgozM5baB6HjGvbL9Q6CC8dvl BTW, FingertipsMusic.com appears down, so you cannot RSVP as of this post. -

How did you guess it's grammy's favorite? Here is a little reaction / fan tribute I created for the studio version of Cherry Blossom . . . to be deleted in a day. Grammy Louise is happy and at peace with the release of Blue Banisters! And I'm not saying any of your opinions are not valid and rank other Lana songs and albums superior! Whatever speaks you! But Ocean is shaping up to surpass them all, I am worried! -

Oh well taste. To me, that cover is everything! Edited to say, it shows what a good song-writer Lana Del Rey is . . . a strong operatic voice took it to another level! -

May I share this terribly indulgent cover on youtube by Broadway-worthy singer Luno St. Lux? . . . Blue Banisters didn't hit for me - especially WW, on which the outro is described by some as sloppy and I felt personally burnt too hot until this sensitive interpretation . . . After listening I tweeted it saying the Blue Banisters era is upon us! Enjoy! -

God thank God! Blue Banisters is the least liked album by many fans who post here, with special mention Beautiful as the worst song - how the vocals are [un]produced, done in one take, off-key, etc. But I like it! So does ForWhateverReason. Makes me excited for Kintsugi! -
I wasn't feeling it. Quinta Brunson is canceled. It is premeditated disrespect packaged as a lame joke. It isn't funny at all. Quinta Brunson represents everything that is nasty in the world and what Lana spoke about in her interview, when she got elbowed by passersby in Manhattan, and a book thrown at her head in San Francisco by a stranger, both of which are physical assaults. What Quinta Brunson said is a psychological assault. Shame on her. In public on a special day for Lana and her fans. Sza saved it by mentioning Lana Del Rey first of her list of namechecks at the beginning of her acceptance speech! Good on Sza! Real musicians get Lana. Real artists get Lana. Real people get Lana.

Isn't it? As grammy, you don't know how these lyrics echo in my mind and the pain in Blue Banisters The pain in these lyrics are killer. Finally after the third stanza of A&W, after that personal reveal, I was blubbing too hard to even notice part II! Because of the r*pe reference. How could something like that happen to a delicate flower like Lana? Her Dad Rob, I speculate often, must have been tempted to take a hit on some men in Lana's past! And I don't blame him! Lana must intuit her fans suffer with her! It is a special message to her fans to let us know she is happy! Good thinking, FredRed!

Zimmerman - the fashion world is talking about it! Vogue and WWD - can't get much higher accolades! Lana Del Rey Will Forever Be the Queen of Sweet Retro Dresses https://www.vogue.com/article/lana-del-rey-billboard-women-in-music-awards-dress Lana Del Rey Glows in Romantic Yellow Lace Dress at Billboard Women in Music Awards 2023 https://wwd.com/pop-culture/celebrity-news/lana-del-rey-billboard-women-in-music-awards-2023-red-carpet-1235560879 You-all know the Honeymoon era much better than I do! When I checked out Zimmerman Resort 2023 Collection slideshow with so many cute looks, Lana could have inspired them all! Now I see why you thought, Honeymoon. Here is the link: https://www.vogue.com/fashion-shows/resort-2023/zimmermann/slideshow/collection#38 Never heard of Zimmerman, but Lana put this new designer on the map! Thanx for that! The glamour quotient was high at the Billboard Women in Music event for all the honorees and presenters, imo! So happy Lana turned up the glamour with her hair and makeup, so thanx for those links! Here is the routine which produced Lana's hair -- it's worth documenting! Thanx to Deadly Cruel Girl quoted above: Get the look:- Step 1 💛 *Dampen down the hair. *Prep the roots with Whirlpool argan oil & green tea mousse and the mid lengths - ends with Swell thickening cream *Blow dry the hair lifting up at the roots to create volume and smoothing the mid length to ends to create extra lustre Step 2 💛 *Spritz sections with Skipper flexible volumizing spray. *Using a large barrel tong curl the hair and pin into large pin curls onto the head and allow to cool. *Sprint the roots with Pebble Beach dry texture spray and tease the hair using a fine tooth comb at the roots concentrating on the crown to create volume. *Swirl the hair around and pin into place to secure the bump at the top of the crown. Step 3 💛 *Continue adding pieces to create a half up half down look swirling and pinning pieces into the back of the head (note - feel free to get creative here and swirl and pin to your heart's desire) *Unpin any remaining sections and comb through with a wide tooth comb. *Spritz the entire look with Skipper to hold and tame flyaways. - https://www.instagram.com/p/CpRn7LtpkWY/ Here is the link to Lana's dress: https://www.zimmermann.com/us/ready-to-wear/clothing/dresses/high-tide-lace-midi-dress-lemon.html That designer only goes up to size 12, so don't tell me Lana is fat, please!

You're downloading malware. Le*ks may initiate from the dark web They may inject banking malware to facilitate illegal transfers . . . Or else you're giving foreign nationals control of your device. No way would I risk sullying my hard drive because the organized criminals know Lana fans are a nice bunch who appreciate nice things, and use iphones and Android to film concerts, and can't resist a snippet out of curiousity . . .
