Black to Blue

this song and Freddie’s last recorded track “Mother Love” always get me

My favorite band of all time! I fell in love with them ten years ago. I’ve seen Queen + Adam Lambert three times but obviously no one holds a candle to Freddie. Any other Queen lovers on here? In my opinion 1974 is such a special year for the group with the release of Queen II and Sheer Heart Attack. I also love love love John Deacon (also I have a question for the mods: can this thread be combined with the already existing Queen thread? thank you in advance!)

That’s what I was wondering. I’m not sure how legit it is either. I did email tap with my order information but I haven’t heard back at all. I don’t think this is related necessarily but I guess it could be. Either way if it’s illegimate it’s concerning that this random LDR village gmail has my email address. At the bottom of the email there’s a broken link to their Facebook page (which is still up at the moment) and their mailing info. Also the LDR Village instagram is back up

I got this email from ldrvillage@gmail.com in my junk folder. I hope this is legit for the sake of everyone who purchased.

Oh that’s great that they have that one in stores! I should’ve checked my local Barnes and Noble first lol . I’m happy that this one is way easier to get compared to the Interview one.

This video was actually pretty cute. It makes me appreciate the song just a little more. And of course Lana looked gorgeous as always

I don’t have a screenshot but I know that Ben, Ed, and Lana all followed the LDR Village account on instagram just a few days ago. I can’t remember the other times they promoted it but it’s obvious it was an affiliated company up until recent.

Okay something needs to be done about this from Lana’s team instead of just responding to one person’s dm. The fact that LDR Village would put on an exclusive sale of LDR Surf Shop items just to close down 3 months later is disgusting and unacceptable. They need to guarantee refunds for everyone who purchased but didn’t receive their orders. Even if they’re “no longer affiliated” they still used her name/likeness to promote these products this year and her management made zero effort to inform fans about this change. In the past I’ve been lenient with LDR Village because it’s usually taken them three months+ to fulfill orders but it is so so so wrong to defraud hardworking fans. Lana needs to become aware of this issue ASAP if she isn’t already. It isn’t her fault at all but hundreds of fans (including myself) have been impacted by this. I’ve yet to hear a response after emailing tap management like Ben recommended and I don’t expect them to do anything based on their current silence.

Which Lana songs do you think deserve more love and recognition? To start, I think that Change is a masterpiece that isn't talked about enough.

I think it would be something metaphysical about how we’re all connected and we need to love one another. I really love her spiritual side and I think she would give great advice in that realm.

I remember telling my boyfriend when A&W came out that Lana is changing the music game (once again) and we are watching history being made. It was a beautiful way for her to usher in 2023 and gave us a sneak peek of the experimentalism of the album. Seeing Pitchfork and NME name A&W song of the year makes me ecstatic and gives me hope that she’ll be making waves at this year’s Grammys. There’s no song like it and there never will be.

I love seeing her acknowledge Heroin on insta and Lust for Life in The Times article. The album truly gives a snapshot into the politics of 2016 and it’s still important today. IT’S HOT!

Honeymoon vs Shades of Cool

This was a fascinating interview. She was passionate and blunt in the best way possible. It’s interesting how she plans on keeping it simple for the next record. I’m looking forward to the standards album if she ever releases it

How is it not an official site if Lana, Ben, and Ed follow them on insta and it’s the same merchandise they sold at the pop up? It makes no sense. I mean I guess it’s good that they’re trying to do something about it but they need to make a public announcement.

well the ldrvillage site did go down today like it did before the drop earlier this year but they need to send out our already existing orders before then

NOW THE ACCOUNT HAS 12K FOLLOWERS. Whoever is posting about it needs to take their posts doen NOW!

I truly miss the exclusivity of the honeymoon account having followed it since 2015. Now pretty much everyone follows it and it doesn’t feel the same

The last time their site went down was in prep for this latest merch drop. Given that their email isn’t bouncing back now it could be that they’re revamping the site again.

What an announcement to wake up to. This year has been so magical seeing Lana do everything she loves. From the album, the niche tour of the US, to the release of this single you can tell she’s putting all her focus into her true passions. And it’s paying off! I’m also imaging how shoplanadelrey is going to capitalize on this and take my money

Wait… since she didn’t wear the Manuel Couture outfit for this special, what is she planning on wearing it to? Maybe it really is for the Grammys

She seemed so proud of herself at the end such a lovely performance!!

Looks like she’ll be singing with her backup singers according to Porctia’s post on instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/C0PjmMcPpk4/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA== Her caption says “join us tonight live” but I’m not sure if that means the performance is live

I think it’s a whole special that’s going to show parts of Graceland during the holidays and moments of his career so I’m guessing she’ll have a pre recorded slot.

Last time I ordered from them in December and my order didn’t ship until March. At least then they were super responsive to all my emails It’s worrisome that their email isn’t working… It says online that (323)-391-3624 is their customer support line but I doubt that it still works either. I just want my cinnamon girl shirt
