The Sun Also Rises

Some here love those laptop demos but hate Kintsugi. 

that's why i dont get why people get so crazy when genres such as "country" are considered to the next record , like lana ALWAYS has her own approach to any kind of genre, her jazz it's not similar to most popular jazz songs, neither her hip-hop, neither her folk and the list goes so why wont yall just wait to see the results like chill lol

I mean- I don’t think this album is going to be pop or anything but I think it is going to be like a post LFL era situation where she talked about doing a more folky EP but then the next project we received from her was a 10 minute psychedelic surf rock song with folky undertones. Overtime her ideas develop into more complicated and complete concepts. So I think we are just going to see some sort of take on standard classic country with a Lana twist.

I hope the LfL references mean something a clue perhaps IDK to what but perhaps maybe

The Weeknd also changed his profile picture to a moon some hours ago, and in the same post of the blinding lights video Lana shared another video of her saying "the moon is so pretty" and even mentioning the moon in the caption... i don't want to be delusional but
 

There are her cryptic posts again, which could mean anything or nothing. I love it. 

LUST FOR FUCKING LIFE IS FUCKING ALIVE AND BREATHING  Didn't expect that but when I saw it I was surprised and pleased!
 
AND THE PHOTO OF HER AND PHOENIX IS SO CUTEEEE!

Maybe it's too far-fetched but The NHBD seems involved too, because they commented on both Lana and Abel posts :

Yes, I'm late. But I'm going to make up for it by campaigning in so many categories)

 
🌸 𝓑𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓤𝓼𝓮𝓻𝓷𝓪𝓶𝓮! 🌸
This username contains multitudes. It's a quote from Lana (Money Power Glory), who herself was quoting Hemingway in his most acclaimed book, "The Sun Also Rises"!

Maybe my profile picture should be called "The Sun Also Sets." It's a photo of yours truly in a suitably aesthetic field at around 7 p.m., this summer. Honestly it's giving Bel Air music video, so "(Best Profile Picture award) I'm waiting to greet you, come to me, (Best Profile Picture award)"
 
🌸 𝓑𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓝𝓮𝔀 𝓜𝓮𝓶𝓫𝓮𝓻! 🌸
I may have only joined LanaBoards in Summer of this year, but this isn't just a Honeymoon period for us! I've spread my Lust for Life around you all and there is so much more to come! Also, I made my first ever thread which was a hit, the one and only Leonard Cohen thread ✨
 
🌸 𝓑𝓮𝓼𝓽 𝓣𝓪𝓼𝓽𝓮! 🌸
Yes, I love Lana. Yes, Honeymoon, DYKTTATUOB, and Ultraviolence are my favourite albums. Yes, Terrence Loves You, Heroin, hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have - but I have it, The Blackest Day, A&W, and ... well I don't need to go on, you know my taste is immaculate. If you disagree please vote me for Worst Taste. Also aside from Lana I love Joan Baez, PJ Harvey, FKA Twigs, Simon and Garfunkel, Bjork, Massive Attack, Portishead, Placebo, Radiohead, The Cure, REM, Dead Can Dance, Beach House, and Mazzy Star. Again if you disagree please vote me for Worst Taste! Thanks!

I am indeed an artist! The first is a digital painting for Rob Grant's competition. I didn't win it so you should let me win this award instead  The other two are just Master studies of Raphael!

Blue is AMAZING

Blue Is The Warmest Color tore my soul into a million pieces

So ... I don't really know where to put this but.. 

I was doodling today and I'm actually a bit proud of it. Guess who.. 


 

Wow just googled Joan Didion. These photos look like the inspiration behind the Ultraviolence album cover.

 

 
definitely going to check out her book The White Album as this sounded more interesting than slouching towards Bethlehem 

meaning: the usual suspects / stuff she's directly or indirectly mentioned in songs or interviews AND books whose themes relate to her persona / vibe / interests and thus we might like to read.

the sea the sea by iris murdoch! i started it years ago and it’s a little hard to read at times because it can be a little “boring” i suppose, not sure how else i’d describe it. but the writing in this book is so beautiful and descriptive

the metamorphosis by kafka  shit so real it brought me flashbacks and i read 70% in one day, the book was consuming me not otherwise 
i also read it in polish which is my native language 

Crime and punishment by Fyodor Dostoevsky

Nabokov- Invitation to a beheading
I am half way in and this book is truly intriguing. Has anyone else read it?

I’m guessing it’s the same company that was behind LDR village?

as if she were the first artist ever to be late for their performance 
 

this image inspires me to see her have some kind of norse goddess chariot ride of the valkyrie's moment or something:

we're so BLESSED for that 

People sleep on Yosemite sadly, deserves more love, deserves same level love as Let The Light In imo

Thank you Queen 
 
I also can't think of anyone to nominate for the "roasting" categories, I genuinely haven't come across anyone who fits the bill  

i will do them now
