    can anyone post the coachella performance on mega? 

    Please! I don't know if we're allowed to request links for live shows, but if anyone has it... I'm dying to watch it again 🖤

     

    Yesterday's show was amazing. I watched it till the end, and I can't believe it. The stage, the intro/outro, the pole dancing, the motorcycles. Jon Batiste's performance was the best.

    Love the name. I was manifesting a one world title. "Lasso". A title with one word feels impactful and easy to remember. We haven't had one since "Honeymoon" I think.

     

    I hope "Prettiest Girl in Country Music" is included. I love that song.

     

    Manifesting a country/americana vibe like Juanita Stein (she sounds a lot like Lana):

    history has it as unlikely but u truly never know w her

    It would be such a pivotal, full circle moment for her to perform "Ocean Blvd" title track at the Grammys after years of declining any live performances.

     

    Either she wins or loses, her singing in front of the audience would be iconic. Band + backup singers + outro included.

     

    Not happening tho, but bro, the power that idea has.

    finally i’m here.

     

     

    i’m so sick and tired of this man. he literally makes the most boring productions and tries to shit talk. 

     

    not even to be a Kanye fan cuz that man is weird but let’s be bffr rn, he really think he gonna out stream KANYE WEST?????

    Bro really thinks Kanye decided to release his album the same day of his band only to sabotage him? I wish I had his confidence.

     

    Jack keeps dissing Kanye but I don't think Ye has ever aknowledged Jack's existence? It's very one-sided. Yes, Kanye is a horrible person with even worse ideologies, but Jack looks a bit delusional.

     

    Regardless, back on topic, what a great lineup of artist he managed to get on board for this project. Looking forward for Lana's cover of "Blue Skies". 

     

    I love how many "blue" songs she has so far, lol:

     

    Blue Jeans

    Blue Velvet

    Blue Banisters

    Blue Skies

    Haunted Hause is one of my top 10 favorite Florence songs of all-time. It's so simple but yet so powerful yet so short yet so sad yet so beautiful yet so heartbreaking yet so addictive. Makes you think and cry. If you love Blue Banisters album, you will love this song because it has a vibe similar to the album and one of the producers was Drew Erickson who also produced many songs of Blue Banisters (and also Ocean Blvd) album!

     

    I loved "Haunted House" and "Moderation". Amazing songs, I'm glad they got a stand along release instead of staying unreleased 🖤

    We all should post track by track posts on Ocean Blvd one year anniversary tbh. Streaming the album and reading long ass paragraphs about every track. Then we watch the Candy Necklace music video, some live performances,   interviews, her Grammy speech she gave after she won and eat an A&W restaurant  meal while doing that and don't forget the root beer or the milkshake from A&W :oprah3: You could try and recreate those meals and the milk shake if you don't have an A&W nearby and /or don't live in the US:true:

    We should definitely make this canon for the album's anniversary. A whole year later can change our perspective A LOT. Celebrate its anniversary in some way, this album is such a career highlight.

    I want something like FKA's Magdalene with that electro-edge. Especially a proper giltch-pop track a la Mirrored Heart (BTW I feel like the "Candy Necklace Glitch-Pop review" should've been "Drama of the Year")

    I would love to know what was that writer thinking when they decided to describe "Candy Necklace" as glitch-pop in that review :toofloppy:

    Thanks for this! Honestly that's a pretty big error to have made on the label's part to have mixed up producers. So in a way, I guess we can actually say that Emile did work on Ultraviolence. Kinda wild.

     

    Also if the opportunity comes up again, do you think you could ask him if he worked on Living Legend at all? We know there was that session file with "send to Dan Heath" in the title. It'd be cool to get confirmation on whether or not he did end up working on the song and producing a demo of it.

    The "FMWUTTT" thing it's kind of messed up, if you think about it. Like, professionally speaking, if you work on a project but then it randomly credits somebody else I think we'd all be like: :flop:

     

    But in the best of cases it was only a printing error. And Lana definitely had nothing to do with it. Shit happens! And both Emile Haynie and Dan worked again with her so I doubt they're mad (though, I would be a bit pissed off with the person in charge, lol).

     

    But it's not like the GP cares enough but us audiofreaks and Lana stans, lol. But for me, at least, it's also wild, like you said. Almost ten years thinking Emile had nothing to do with the "Ultraviolence" album (besides introducing Lana to Dan Auerbach), yet we were wrong (!!!).

     

    And about "Living Legend", sure thing! I still haven't answered his message (lmao, not me, a random nobody ghosting Daniel fucking Heath). But I'll answer the message I took a screenshot of and I'll let you know if he answers! [let us cross fingers].

    Do you think we'll get a "Ultraviolence: 10th Year Anniversary" reissue this year? I have zero hopes considering she didn't do shit for "Born to Die" (her most mainstream album; it would have made more sense).

     

    But, this record is also one of her defining moments in her career (next to "NFR!" and more recently "Ocean Blvd)". It's such a milestone in her story. Not aknowledging it would be such a missed opportunity.

     

    Maybe she doesn't like deluxe/re-editions anymore. Considering she scrapped the alleged "Lust for Life" post-release EP. Perhaps she didn't think it was necessary to do a 10th year "Born to Die" edition considering it has gotten enough recognition?

     

    But can you all imagine, "Ultraviolence" (10th Anniversary Edition). What a concept. The perfect opportunity to finally release "Flipside" and "Is This Happiness" (and scrapped songs on streaming services). Maybe even a brand new cover with a Neil Krug never-seen-before picture, brand new vinyls variants, all the good stuff.

     

    CD1

    01. Cruel World

    02. Ultraviolence

    03. Shades of Cool

    15. Is This Happiness [finally released worldwide as a bonus track + streaming services]

    16. Flipside [finally released worldwide as a bonus track + streaming services]

     

    CD2 (*)

    01. Say Yes to Heaven (**)

    02. Fine China

    03. Your Girl

    04. Angels Forever

    05. Pink Champagne

    06. Dragonslayer

    07. Cult Leader

    08. Elvis [Rumored final version]

    09. Lake Placid

    10. Madly

    11. Earthquakes [Final version]

    12. Driving in Cars With Boys [2014 Version]

    13. I Talk to Jesus [Dan Auerbach version]

     

    (*) — I threw the bunch of outtakes from that era in no specific order, so pardon the disjointed tracklist. I didn't know if it'd be a good idea to add the bonus songs right after the main album. It looks kind of cluttered, so I thought that maybe a second CD would be better, especially for vinyl releases and stuff. 

     

    (**) — I know "Say Yes to Heaven" was released as a stand-along single, but her team considers it part of that era, since the 7" Picture Disc vinyl used a Neil Krug photo from that era + adding "Black Beauty" as a b-side.

     

    Conclusion:

    Fan fiction and delusional thinking aside, I don't think she'd do anything, I bet it must probably take a lot of work, but considering she most likely won't release an album in 2024, maybe the "Ultraviolence" reissue album wouldn't be a bad idea. At least she could release it as a digital-only edition on streaming services, which is what some of her peers have done for their 10th anniversary re-releases.

    On that recent Jack interview, he said something about his work ethic with Lana was getting crazier and loonier with time (as in experimenting). I don't know how that would translate with Lana's desire to go for an Americana-esque simpler/less dense route. But I'm sure they'll find a middle ground.

     

    I hope she works with new people, but I get the sense that she's the type of person who low-key struggles (or simply doesn't like) working with new people and once she finds her comfort collaborators she sticks with them (i.e. Rick Nowels).

    I listened to the song for the first time yesterday and.....it was probably the cringiest song I've ever heard. Like what the fuck was that:

    She's my alma mater

    Chasin' lines all night

    Smokin' me outta sight

    Well, summer's gettin' hotter

    Threw her T-shirt down the pike

    Screamin', "Fuck Balenciaga"

    Right past the Wawa

    Threw on "Heartattack and Vine"

    As she alligator cries

    I'll make it darker

    2003, sad all the time

    :oprah2:

     

    This isn't even camp, it's like something what a pretentious nerdy Instagram kid in high school, who thinks they were born in a wrong generation, would write. Sorry this was too specific, I know that Jack isn't like this but I know that he's capable of doing better music. The production reminded me of Midnights album a lot. Like the song isn't bad, it's just so weird, the whole time I listened to the song my face was like this :wtfney: Lana's part was good though, the "I'll make it darker" part. I wouldn't mind listening to this part for 10 hours, it was like so smooth.

    "Something a pretentious nerdy Instagram kid in high school, who thinks they were born in a wrong generation, would write" is the best way to describe the lyrics of this song, lol. What in the actual world. But I really dig the vibe, tho. The video is super cool. I like this song way better than "Secret Life" imo, even if Lana's barely in it.

    Awesome creations, everyone! <3

    Not sure if the right thread but does anyone know where the fuck did those Lana/Thimotée christmas-like wearing furry themed pijamas even come from? Like, they're absolutely hilarious and I'm dying to know the context :toofunny:

    What an incredible photoshoot, she looks stunning. 

     

    Now, what the fuck was even this article? The person who wrote it had the chance to spend a couple of hours interviewing Lana, and decided to write a long ass essay describing mundane details about her furniture? Also, what a narcissistic journalist. "Wow, I don't know what I personally think about this Lana Del Rey persona, let me babble on about what MY perceptions full of judgement and prejudice are about her instead of letting the person who I am interviewing tell me the answer". A classic example of a writer who tells but never actually shows.
