Rock Candy

Her poor lil knee  

we NEED more pre-lfl songs i love the "spacey retro" sound they have, it fits lana's voice so well

These are from March 19th, 2016. I believe she was recording Malibu/Get Free there because then a week ago, she was in Malibu. Although maybe she was recording Love because she met Emile Haynie few days before that.
 

I find the timeline between HM and LFL even more interesting than the post BTD stuff (probably cause we already know almost everything about it at this point) so I'll do a little summary about what I remember and think about it. I love an essay sorry 
 
The LFL demo (and some other songs + outtakes), the Neil photoshoot and the album trailer all pointed to a dark and witchy aesthetic and sound. But then the Rich MVs and some details of the songs (like 13 Beaches) had those futuristic and space-y/glitchy tones too, which in my opinion could happily coexist and match (the moon being like the nexus for example)
 
What I also find weird is that she teased the album collabs on the trailer so that aspect of the record was integrated into the original aesthetic, even though the collabs are the songs that are further from the original dark tone 
 
Then there's the political outtakes and the girl group tracks which weren't scrapped entirely since there's some elements of that on the final album.
What's clear is that she had a pretty sudden artistic switch towards the end of the album process cause Coachella and specially Change were in my opinion the songs that marked the transition between pre and post NFR Lana in terms of writing... at that point she didn't have any track as straightforward and with that lyrical style.
 
LFL is truly THE transition album, not only in terms of sound/lyrics but also for her creative process. She had a lot of style and concept switches at the time but instead of scrapping the whole thing (like she did with the post BTD/Tropico/early UV tracks) she kept adding and doing little changes and I feel that's how she works now.
Instead of having a clear concept as a whole she just writes and then tries to put together an album that makes sense in a way with what she has.
 
Chemtrails was a bit of an exception cause it's really cohesive but it started as a collection of simpler songs she knew she wanted to use in the future but didn't match at all the Norman sound so yeah she still has a somewhat clear direction in that aspect but it's not as conceptualized as it used to be (which is not a bad thing tho, all the past 3/4 albums are still great and contain some of her absolute best tracks).

It was mistyped “List” then changed to “Lust”
that’s it aha

they tagged a fanpage

She looks like a medieval queen w o w, she’s magnificent this era 

Personally I prefer the Zimmerman dresses. She looks like a sculpture and make her look hot.
 
Amsterdam dress was my least favorite by miles.

first time something was happening in the crowd and they needed help so she stopped for a few minutes and spoke to us. she said to the venue “can we get some water up in here jesus christ”
 
second time was the same and she made a few cute jokes like saying were dropping like flies etc and said “flash your lights if you need help” and then said “oh god no not like that” when someone strobe lighted her shes so funny
 
she also said “dramaaaaa” after stopping which was funny

Every single look on this tour is just so beautiful and builds on each look from the previous show - I’m obsessedddd

SHES FUCKING SERVING LOOKS THIS TIME AROUND FUCKKKKKKKKK

Lana was fantastic (minus skipping VB and the Cherry high note once again). She looked gorgeous, sang so well and interacted a lot with the crowd but
 
to the selfish b**ches in the audience who YELL instead of singing, I don't wanna hear this dreadful sound coming out of your mouth, behave and make sure everyone can enjoy their experience
(I'm pretty sure they're local BTD stans and not LB members though)
 
that's it <3
 
 

I know there's not a lot of love for the dancers, but (going by the video), I'm finding the choreography for Chemtrails to be beautiful and inspiring.
 

i dont know if people have any idea how queueing works but i always had a hotel nearby and its super common for people to just go take a shower and fresh themselves up before the show like i dont recall anyone being stinky and anything like that
 
its not like you literally have to be 24h+ nonstop in the queue, you can literally do anything you want for a few hours, the key is to check in and get to know everyone and be friendly then you can do pretty much anything as long as you dont just vanish for the whole day and go back just in time for the show
 
e.g. in italy i went to take a shower and change my clothes twice at the day of the show and i even offered other ppl from the queue to go with me and use my shower like if you're with civilized people queueing could be super easy and fun

some professional photos:

I have a strong feeling that she’ll sing Peppers and LTLI because it’s a special show. Let’s hype ourselves up and get disappointed again.

Can’t believe she wasted the chance of performing with one of the 4 artists featured in her album… GIRLLLL

Lana is excited about this show... I think there could be some surprises tonight.

I am ready for A.K.A. & Unreleased compilation album & LDR10 official announcement at Hyde Park

This is going to be a good show omg I hope she isn't that late so she can do all the songs

She might see it on fan Instagram accounts she’s following.

ready!!!
see you in gold circle! if you see me say hello!
my leather jacket is shedding everywhere help
