you mean these 2 prints? Can be anything, I don't take this as a proof for a box set.

I have started to create my own version of it by now, but she releases new music faster than I am able to design the pages, lol. It's so frustrating when you just finished the honeymoon chapter when chemtrails came out, and before being able to finish Lust for Life, BB comes out.

I really hope not. She could at least leak them :-D

well, then time for her to leak them
 
Yep i just casually call it that to refer to the remaining 'bombastic songs' that are yet to be leaked.

if it sells out until then, you can still get the one from amazon, which is not engraved ;-) I have actually decided not to pay like EUR 40 for the merch item (25 USD + shipping abroad + double VAT + post fee...), but might get the one from amazon/ebay for less than EUR 7.

Must be extremely rare as I never saw or heard of it, lol. What is it, please? 

Thanks! So this called a flask, too. I googled the word but found only things I could not imagine as merch, lol. Love it. Wouldn't mind buying it. 

The UMG store sent me an email saying that they will ship the white vinyl at the end of next week to avoid "spoilers"  honey... it's already out there...

There are so many knockoffs on the market, but I remember it looking close to this, if this isn't the orginal

My little haul from the Village. I love the t-shirt. It's the only thing I got from the UV collection. And the BTD postcard set was the only thing I got from that stuff. Wish I bought more. And with the BB postcards I think I have all the ones she put out. I have all the NFR and Chemtrails sets. Did she put out postcards before that?? Does anyone know?
 

Yes, I liked it. This quote:
That's it in a nutshell! Editor of Gigwise Lucy Harbron demos her skills in one sentence, instead of paragraphs dominating an article.
criminally overlooked by awards underappreciated as a writer largely misunderstood Check check check!
Awards: It isn't 100 % true with the Billboard Women in Music Visionary award and Variety 2021 Decade, Award but Lana has not been nominated for a mainstream award like Oscar, which she should have for Big Eyes and Young and Beautiful . . . Billboard and Variety invented the above awards because they knew Lana was past due!
Underappreciated as a writer: As Lana mentioned in Interview, Sasha Frere-Jones wrote:
He must be eating his words now!
NY Times critic Jon Caramanica said:
Caramanica backed out of these words in subsequent reviews, tho, like a lot of critics, and Pitchfork, who revised its BTD rating from 5.5 in 2012 to 7.8 in 2021! All these journalism degree writers do not know how to listen to music, imo. Public education has failed them.
Only recently Lana has begun being celebrated as song-writer, esp. with NFR. Bruce Sprinsteen said about Lana, "Simply One of the Best Songwriters . . . She just creates a world of her own and invites you in."
So acknowledgement comes from musicians, not journalists, which forces journalists to pay attention.
Sorry for the long post.
 
 

Yeah, they could be easily printed and put inside the box set (like they usually do). I just wanted to say that those photos are the original ones and that they would probably be cropped or resized if they decide to put them in the box set (I hope so)  I need that explicit cover vinyl

I think I can say very confidently that the metaphorical fig she chose is that of her family. That of spending time and creating memories with loved ones. That of being a great aunt, sister, daughter. I think that seems to be what this album may be about especially after hearing The Grants. 
 
I think she started this direction of questioning life paths during Violet / COTCC era. It’s reminiscent of “No, i’ll let the others do the pondering, and while they do i’ll be on my lawn.”
 
and “in that moment, i decided to do nothing about everything.” from the titular poem. 
 
I think this is good evidence of a step away from the grandeur and a step into the simpler life. A family life and the mundane of every day. I think COTCC flirted with these ideas and asked lots of questions — but this is the decision— the statement record if you will about this “fig.” 

I've been listening to the album on repeat for several days now and have so much to say, but will save it for another day.
One thing I'll quickly mention is that she seems to have wholeheartedly embraced imperfection as an artistic device, whether it's the occasional off-pitch vocal or off-beat rhythm, and I find this very intruiging.
She echoed this sentiment when talking about the intro to The Grants - that the imperfection was symbolic and she knew it had to be left in to the beginning of the album.
Furthermore in the age of AI art, imperfection is what will seperate Lana from the inevitable Lana song-generator-bot of the future.
There's a fine line between highlighting the mistakes in an artwork so that it can take on more meaning, and just being lazy and not striving for excellence, and she is certainly in the former category.

I’m so glad she isn’t sacrificing anything for critical acclaim. NFR’s one of my fav albums but it’s hands down her safest album too. It’s very easy for critics to love. Ocean Blvd is more daring and unconventional with moments like the second part of A&W, Fingertips and Peppers that lead to split opinions. It’s way more interesting to me. I love when she experiments and doesn’t keep it safe lyrically and sonically, but that’ll always be hit or miss with critics.

Ah that probably explains why I never find it looking for ldrEy
