I wasn’t really sure where to post this (or if it'd even be OKAY), so thanks to @Elle for pointing me in the right direction. 
 
Up until spring of 2023, I had a YouTube channel called For Whatever Reason, on which I documented my first listens to NFR!, COTCC, BB, and the first half of DYKTTATUOB, song-by-song. Frankly, I prided myself putting out videos that were atypical of the run-of-the-mill "reaction" channels out there, which seemed to be full of clickbait-y titles, and had thumbnails of people screaming and/or exploding. I wanted my stuff to be more about actual music exploration, appreciation, and community. I aimed to be genuine and thorough, and a lot of my videos were on the longer side, because I'd often play not only the album version of a song, but also live versions, along with occasional supplemental material, like interviews or making-of-the-song type-stuff.
 
The channel did well, but it took up FAR too much of my time, and I needed to shut it all down in April to focus more on my family and my mental health. I received a lot of messages asking me why I didn't just leave the YouTube channel alive, even if I'd stopped making videos. The answer is that I KNOW myself. I would have been tempted to dive back in to comment sections, and I'd have felt the pull to dedicate more and more of my time to it. 
 
I've been doing a lot of reprioritizing (and therapy) in the interim, stepping away from almost all social media, but I've made all of those old Lana videos available on my Patreon, which is basically on auto-pilot, and doesn't require a lot of day-to-day maintenance from me. I’ve now got all four of the LDR albums that I listened to on YouTube grouped as Patreon “collections” (which are similar to playlists). There are some non-album tracks there, too. Access to everything is a buck.
 
As I write this, I STILL haven't listened to the back half of Tunnel, nor have I heard any of Lana's pre-NFR! output.  My hope is that I'll eventually get back to exploring her career, but at a more sustainable (slower) pace, and in a way that I could still share those first listens, without it compromising my duties as a husband and dad. I'm just not there yet. 
 
At any rate, thanks in advance if you decide to check any of this stuff out!

LMFAOOOOO 

i am also west virginian and this is ridiculous lmao. im sure most people here are a little sick of it but also its such a big part of our state even if it wasn’t intended to be for here. also please tell me where you would’ve liked her to play outside of charleston? huntington? morgantown? charleston may be the “city” of the state but it is still run down and no where near the standards of other capitol cities. i just really don’t understand where you would have rather her or played lmao… what stage? and she isn’t fetishizing it good lord. if you really care about this state you need to take a step back because charleston and lana playing there is not the cause of its issues. if anything lana coming here boosted our economy and is going to promote other large artists to play here.

also if you don’t want to wander around charleston late (pls don’t go to the mall late people get stabbed there all the time 😭) south charleston is a better alternative! rocas and sokolata are great food options! and are most likely cheaper than most of the downtown restaurants.

seconding this!! 
 
also, for anyone that’s unfamiliar with WV, it’s a very rural area (even Charleston, the “big city” of the state) so rideshares are gonna be very uncommon :/ you *may* be able to find a taxi though, I think there’s a couple of them. either way, if you didn’t drive and walking isn’t an option, be prepared to wait a long time for a ride or carpool with other fans (pls be safe). there should be fast food places open after the concert and gas stations are ur best bet for bathrooms other than restaurants. if anyone has questions ab the area lmk and I’ll do my best to help out! it’s very unusual to get an artist this big around here so it’s gonna be a lana fan takeover (and u may have people ask who’s playing or if you’re going to the concert lol) but don’t be afraid to ask locals for directions and such, people are generally nice! 

she’s in charleston!! i know people who are with her rn at hale house 😭😭 I’m so jealous
