  3. I think, at least for now, we might have to wait for Lana to interact with Neil more by either liking or even commenting on posts he makes. Just like she liked that one picture a few days ago and not the Weyes Blood ones. I feel like as time goes on, if Neil is doing the slow zoom out thing Lana might like his posts to do with it. That's just my theory though As for the acronyms, honestly who knows until we get the song they're found in

    What she NEEDS to do is get her fans to riot against ticketmaster. Force ticketmaster to issue refunds to people who are RESELLING the tickets already for absurd prices and snatch them back and sell them for an ACTUAL fan pre-sale. Ticketmaster has literally held in person CONFERENCES for resellers, they active encourage the process as they get to collect processing and other fees each time the ticket changes hands. Taylor's lawyers, who are some of the best money can by, should've made the deal IRON-CLAD when it came to scalpers and exactly how the whole fan pre-sale was going to work. The fact that just anybody could enter the pre-sale queue without a code (even though you needed one to actually purchase after the queue) is absolute insanity. Everyone forgets before she goes on tour she has complete bargaining rights with ticket master, they aren't holding her at gun point to sign a contract. Her and her team should've laid out ground rules as to how this was going to go down. She's been touring for FIFTEEN years, there are no more excuses.

    The last paragraph is giving "sorry you didn't get your tickets, oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ "
  7. I actually didn't even realize that shit on the wall was a sensitive subject matter on LB.
  8. I'm sorry but a random acronym we can't confirm until after the album drops is move-worthy but it's also a cop-out. He's just throwing shit at the walls to see if it sticks.
  9. BOZ reading this thread after smashing his keyboard and hitting send tweet.
  10. Okay I feel like this might be the closest, summer of manson would be something she would say
  11. The prospect that it is one person and they could be reading this right now is actually... eerie.
  12. Same but honestly most book printers/publishers wouldn't touch that thing with a ten foot pole because they do NOT want to be sued for copyright. You'd probably have to go with somebody like vistaprint or something and only have a copy or two of it made to fly under the radar.
  13. Oh same, I actually remember coming across this concept not on here originally but on tumblr at the time. Thank god I was only 14/15 and didn't have access to a credit/debit card because I would've absolutely pitched in $25 for that thing.
  14. I hope both sides of your pillow are HOT tonight. I thought this was real for a second
  15. PLEASEEE all of the egg/chicken taglines are hilarious. Expertly done

    Did y'all see the tweet from ticketmaster? "Insufficient remaining ticket inventory" I wonder how many of the tickets they sold during presale and how many are left.... ooooo this is gonna be bad
  17. I'll add it I didn't even know where it was but I'll go find it that sounds hilarious. I would honestly consider it slightly out of pocket but the fact that he scammed people out of over 6,000 pounds I think it's slightly justified.
  18. Okay thanks for telling me! Wow that's a crazy coincidence their names were honestly so similar. I'll take that part out then and add what you said
  19. I was actually going to put that profile in the post but I figured it was inaccurate considering the name Moy wasn't even the same anymore. That's also hilarious that somebody put that on his account
  20. Lana Del Rey Lyrics Anthology Book, or Anthology 'Bible' Gate The Lana Del Rey Anthology Book was a spin-off idea based on the lyric book(s) Lana sold during her earlier tours that contained lyrics to released songs from Born to Die and Paradise. These were sold up until and throughout the Endless Summer Tour. This idea seemed to have stemmed from user @lflflflflflflflflflf known as Moy. The first mention of it, as well as many details surrounding the project can be found in the thread below during May of 2015. **Note Throughout this post I simply refer to it as the 'Bible' as that's how many lipsters refer to the genuine lyric book sold by miss Del Rey herself. Humble Beginnings: As the months went on the ideas for the book began to progress beyond just a few pages and concept ideas. The user, by all accounts, approached book printers seeking pricing, materials information, and other pieces of crucial knowledge before proceeding with finalized versions of the bible. Many of these ideas were cultivated not only on Lana Boards but on twitter and tumblr as well, but information from those sites is a bit more difficult to find as of writing this November 17th, 2022. Examples of what the bible could've looked like are found below, screenshots from the official kickstarter page for the project. Kickstarter It appears that the Kickstarter began shortly after the final concepts of the lyric bible were coming together. Many Lana Boards community members who had fallen in love with the concept design and idea of the bible began to flood the kickstart with donations of varying amounts. Although there are likely other backers, most of them are likely from Lana Boards. Below you can find three different 'levels' of backing the Kickstarter offered to those who wanted to support the project. Doubts Looming As seen in the first screenshot of this deep-dive, the total amount of money the Kickstarter campaign raised was exactly £6,441 from 180 backers. Despite the outpouring of support for the concept, things quickly began to go south as December of 2015 approached, months beyond the projected completion date. Rightfully, many backers and Lana Boards community members began to grow frustrated from the radio silence on the project creator's various social media accounts regarding the readiness of the bible as seen below. Creator Response or Lack Thereof In response to the frustration the creator had posted on their facebook that some copyright issues had been brought up by the book publisher/printer (who would've thought?). The publisher asked them to make some changes to the book, changes that are not necessarily specified but we can speculate being the copyrighted images and likely the lyrics themselves. Evidence below. **Note May likely exchanged these messages from the creator on facebook, Moy, and posted them to the original thread as seen below. (Info from LB user @the ocean) Excuses, Excuses The excuses on behalf of the creator and this 'May' account continued for several months. Frustration began to turn to anger as many backers and Lana Board community members rightfully felt that they had been scammed and that the project was likely to never come to fruition. Moy, the bible project's creator eventually went completely silent on on social platforms, confirming that it is more than likely either the publisher or Lana's team made it clear that the copyright violations would not be tolerated and they would not allow this project to continue. As before, evidence of this can be found below Ghosted The creator never bothered to return the kickstarter donations, and by all accounts seems to have gotten away with it. Evidence of this can, once again be found below. It is unclear how many people did or did not get refunds regarding the project but it appears it may have been easier if the backer used PayPal. The End As of writing this, November 17th, 2022 Bible gate is one of the only and most successful scams on Lana boards, even though it may not have started out as one. The original thread has been locked for a few months as the topic is no longer relevant and it is more than likely the creator has taken off with the money with no hopes of a finished product. Some people still refer back to this project when referring to the phrase bible within the Lana community; however, that is also what the aforementioned official lyrics book(s) have been dubbed by the community. May this serve as a reminder to be wary of giving money to people online, no matter how good the end result may look. Bonus Feature A gif made by a LB community member likely sourced from one of the now deleted 'explanation' videos Moy made when he was still active. Gif is pretty self-explanatory.
  21. That's where I'm at. I'll stream her music and always root for her to fuck over Scooter at ever possible turn because he absolutely deserves it but I just don't want to really buy merch or even physical copies of her music just because of how morally apprehensible her business practices are. I will still stream Taylor's version of everything though and keep listening, just more at a distance ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
