  1. She’s so active lately! And so unhinged! I love this energy i hope it continues in a positive way. Plus the way she typed out “sh*t” censored like that had me laughing.
  2. Ricky try not to be creepy challenge FAILED once again…
  3. I just hope this is a bop and not a Quavo word vomit DoodleBob mumble rap monstrosity
  4. Embarrassing He’s probably just saying that to stir up clout using the name of a big star. Who gives a fuck about G-Easy in 2024?
  5. I’ve got to say i’m typically REAALLLY not a fan of rap features, but the beat does sound very nice on this. Lana may actually annihilate this beat but i just hope the Quavo part doesn’t come across to overbearing. Seeing how this is likely a Quavo song w/ a Lana feature i’m not getting my hopes up but it’s just a wait and see
  6. Highly doubt this is Lasso related because why would Quavo post about it first 🤔. Its probably just a side quest which makes sense cuz lfl trap beat lana is the sonic opposite of Lasso cuntry
  7. They completed something… turning her into a walking Bambi tree
  8. The video of Kim dodging the branches every time Lana turns her head I wonder how many people Lana accidentally smacked with her branches. The whole fit was iconic. She really understood the assignment, but the Hoove heels…
  9. I just realized, most of my knowledge/experience of country comes from GTA 5 😭. This is how i discovered Tammy Wynette. This is sorta My My Hey Hey. After listening, i highly doubt Lana would go this direction, but who knows
  10. Yes, i’m a huge fan of them. They’ve always had this very alternate sound with themes of gothic romance. They have contemporaries, but i think Type O sounded most unique and had the most prolific output, hence being the most popular band within the genre. The band (mainly Peter Steele) never took things too seriously. They were over the top and wacky with lyrics and themes which played in well to their songwriting. Type O Negative has lots of skits and throw away track that show this. Steeles previous band, Carnivore, was even more over the top and wacky. My favorite records by Type O Negative are hands down Life is Killing Me and Dead Again. In their last two records they perfected their sound in my opinion. Some of my favorite songs are Hey Pete, Pyretta Blaze, Cinnamon Girl, Be My Druidess, and I Don’t Wanna Be Me. Bloody Kisses is a phenomenal album. It’s sounds the most radio friendly, but still maintains their sound. Summer Breeze and Set Me On Fire and my favs from the album and probably Christian Woman. The varied instrumentation makes it all sound grand, like a goth rock orchestra. October Rust is probably their most sombre sounding album. The songs are often pretty and just straight up catchy sounding. It’s hard to pick tracks that stand out from this album because they all sound great, but Green Man, Die With Me, and the tracks i mentioned earlier are probably my favorites. Their other albums are great too, and follow suit similarly. The first album is probably the silliest (one way of putting it) lyrically speaking. But you just can’t help but love it, because it’s just so apologetically Type O Negative. There’s many contemporaries, but none of them really capture the same vibe Type O Negative does. They often get compared to Christian Death, London After Midnight, Sisters of Mercy, etc. I’m not gonna pretend to be 100% familiar with those bands discographies, but those bands veer far more into goth rock territory than alternate metal. One band that doesn’t get brought up very often that i think is comparable to Type O Negative is HIM. HIM is a goth rock band with romantic themes similar to Type O Negative, although HIM also is very much more rooted in Goth than Alternative Metal. I guess some early Cradle of Filth could be comparable as well, with themes of gothic romance, but conversely thats much more sonically rooted in black and death metal. My favorite song of all time by the band is I Don’t Wanna Be Me. I think that’s their most popular song as of recently (thanks to TikTok). This song has the lyrics: Two steps forward, three steps back Without warning, heart attack He fell asleep in the snow Never woke up, died alone In this autobiographical song about his own addictions, Peter Steele predicted his own death. Steele ended up dying of an unexpected heart attack seven years after the release of this song and album. It really adds to the legend of this band in my opinion, while not really being something that gets brought up often. It also just happens to be my favorite song in their entire discography

  12. I tried to find albums i like released on the same day but i can’t find any One little thing i DID find tho was this little spooky fun fact: The album cover for The Beatles Abbey Road was taken August 8th 1969. The Manson Family murders started on August 8th 1969. An incredible coincidence, considering Charles Manson was heavily inspired by the Beatles/thought they were subliminally communicating with him. So i guess Abbey Road and the Charles Manson solo album can be sister albums in spirit 😭
  13. A case study: Lanita in extreme metal communities One topic i find incredibly interesting is when fans of an artist don’t fit the supposed “target demographic” of that artist. The target demographic of Lanas music tends to be boiled down to theys and gays, white girl music, etc. While that may very often be true, I think that narrowing Lanas appeal like that really sells her short. Really, anybody can listen to and become a fan of Lana. Anyone with functioning ears can listen to anything, rather it be pop, rap, country, metal, yodeling waltz polka, etc. It’s up to the individual to determine the meaning of any art via their interpretation. In essay terms, the listener determines their own logos, ecos and pathos for the music they hear. In Lana’s music i’ve found that she has fans in the most unlikely of places. The most bewildering (and often hilarious) example would be fans of Lana within the metal community. By metal, i don’t mean Linkin Park. I mean the loud angry screaming bands in the genres of black metal, death metal, grindcore. Quite possibly the most sonically opposed sounding music compared to Lanas. I’ve seen a few fans of Lana in these communities. Some examples: “Myke C-Town” is a popular youtuber who has collaborated with big channels TheNeedleDrop and Dead End Hiphop. He has a music channel where he mainly talks about extreme metal. He is a fan of Lanas music and has regarded it well in his reviews. In his Top Albums of 2019 video he ranked NFR the 13th best album of the year: He also has Ocean Blvd in his 2023 video. Extreme metal youtuber “CountBlagorath” is relatively popular in the underground scene. He mainly post vinyl collection updates. In one vinyl updates, he shows off Lana records and give an explanation as to liking her music. Skip to 12:30 to hear him talk about Lana, unless you want to hear him talk about GOAT SEMEN for ten minutes Musician Stéphane “Niege” Paut, most well known for his project Alcest (which i talked about on the page before) said in instagram comments that he listens to and likes Lana. I can’t find it anywhere, but I remember seeing it. Speaking of instagram, the instagram page for Profound Lore Records, an extreme metal label, follows Lana on instagram. They occasionally comment on her posts, and when they do they get about 10-15 likes . That shows at least some overlap between the communities. I know theres plenty of other examples out there, but those are the ones i can think of. Speaking from personal experience, I myself would fit this description as well. Lana is the only pop artist i really like. I’ve heard and dabbled into others, but Lana is only one I can truly say i’m a fan of. If i told people in the metal community i’m a fan of Lana, they would probably look at me like i’m a looney toon. Same thing vice versa, i’d imagine most Lana fans would cover their ears hearing most of my favorite music

  16. She’s been mighty active recently… She’s been mighty LASSO coded recently as well… I think some announcements and official beginning of a new album cycle are in order.
  17. My favorite Lana lyrics ever: It's the voodoo, Mississippi south Sixty-nine million stars Birds are flyin' out of my mouth Spirits creepin' in my yard Hold my head, it's tiltin' back Somethin' dancin' me around Puttin' crystals on my neck Liftin' my feet off the ground The ground I’ve always loved these lyrics. To me these are the most underrated lyrics and her most underrated song, Raise Me Up. I love it when she talked about unorthodox and different topics, particularly in this song the “voodoo” of the south. It comes across somewhat beautiful in the context of this song and AKA album.
  18. Power electronics on Lanaboards 👍 Will Taylor Swift ever release a noise album?
  19. Youtube recommendations gives me the most random stuff… I’m a fan! 💃🕺🔥
  20. This would scare the shit out of people 😭. I support 100% 👍
