That would explain it, thanks for sharing. I feel very sorry for the people who lost their money.

One of the biggest German newspapers presented Tunnel in their top ten albums of the year. The list is not numbered, but it's the first album mentioned. π https://www.zeit.de/kultur/musik/2023-12/alben-2023-lana-del-rey-taylor-swift-metallica?dicbo=v2-hUb0T5q Google translation: Sometimes you have to defend Lana Del Rey against her own fans. The world loves her for her worn-out glamour, but because of all the clichΓ©s it tends to forget what sets Del Rey apart from many pop stars of her generation: her music is not only just as interesting as her fictional character, it's actually getting more and more interesting. The single A&W, for example, begins as if a song by Mazzy Star had been dropped in a boat on the open sea. The story of a broken woman, the eponymous American whore, who can't expect any pity from anyone, slowly unfolds. After all, she is someone who challenges her own misfortune - just look at her hair, her face, her body. Then suddenly the scenery changes, the silent song transforms, rears up into the beast. A strict trap beat, a ten-pound bass, ghost songs from the last corner of the club, and this shattered soul, who has just opened her heart, is dancing on the pole in hot pants. The fateful guy in this story, his name is Jimmy of course, only loves his girl when he wants to have fun, but bad things are done to him too: "Your mom called, I told her, you're fucking up big time," she sings towards him callously. Rarely has the experience of taking refuge in intoxication and destruction in moments of greatest loss been put to music in a more harrowing way than here. Never has a Lana Del Rey song sounded more insane than A&W, never has one of her albums sounded more spooky than Did You Know That There's a Tunnel Under Ocean Blvd with its shot-up family stories and samples of manic preachers. There isn't a greater storyteller than her in the pop mainstream right now. (Julia Lorenz)

Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Merch & Media Drop
Olympia replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
I had much worse experience with Taylor stuff than Lana stuff in the German Universal store actually. -
Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd - Merch & Media Drop
Olympia replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
I guess it's a general problem of universal, so it's the same for Taylor Swift and others. I guess they just don't care for better service as it's not necessary. They got the exclusives, and no one else, so fans will buy from them anyway. -
Remember Lana wore the rear eyes hoodie from ldrvillage to Rob's album release party? They advertised it as buy her hoodie, and people posted pics wearing it, too. So some people got merch from this collection. I also take this hoodie and Lana wearing it as a proof that they were still official at this point.

I really want that magazine. Never liked this (cut) photo so far, but the full version is so beautiful! Also want that beautiful interview printed. But hard to come by in Germany, int. magazines are easier to find than newspapers.

So far only from YouTube. Didn't see a link so far. -

"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Olympia replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
These lyrics actually scream for the song being a lead single for the American standards album, lol. Love it so much. Take me home to the place I belong - indeed! β€οΈ -
"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Olympia replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
Unfortunately she rarely has any logic in her release strategies π and obviously her contracts allow her to do whatever she wants. But I can't help feeling there will be more, too. -
"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
Olympia replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
Didn't we recently talk about posts by them showing they have no idea? π Like having no idea how many albums she actually got? I'll just hope they have no idea or Lana changes her plans. It's Lana after all. -

Harper's Bazaar - December/January 2024 Art Issue [Print]
Olympia replied to ultrabanisters's topic in New Interviews
Has someone done already? I can only find an old version with the first version on YouTube. I was thinking about Amazon, too. I think Harper's Bazaar might be easier to get than Interview mag... Hopefully. I only wonder about this "art edition". Hope it's not a subscriber only thing? Looks like the most beautiful pics are included to the mag, as I guess from Lana's IG post. Anyone knows about the 2 covers? Are they both in stores? -

Olympia replied to hotshot2am's topic in New Releases
Did you buy Bravado? Mine should arrive within the next few hours. They should have sent you a mail with the tracking Nr for DHL. Btw, I forgot something important about the turntable: if you don't wanna buy/if you haven't got already a "VerstΓ€rker", you might need a turntable which has one integrated. -
Just started listening to Rockstar and I'm not disappointed π (Was also really excited for the Kid Rock feature and I love it.)

So happy about my favorite album finally getting a vinyl release. Needed some time to embrace the red (red blooded red, lol), but now I like it. Fits the music, not the cover art, lol. Black vinyls were made as well, let's hope we'll get a picture disc and a version with litho print, as we got got impossible princess.
