this is pure fantasy 

The livestream details for Stagecoach 2024 were released on April 8th so we should be getting that info soon. 
 
 

Too good to be true though...

Thoughts on my setlist mockup?
Intro
• Video Games
• Music To Watch Boys To
• When The World Was At War We Just Kept Dancing
• Summertime Sadness
• Ride / Living Legend / Thunder (Medley)
• Flipside (w/ a silent digital drop of Is This Happiness / Flipside everywhere)
Interlude
• New Song
• How to disappear / Wild At Heart (Mashup)
• Chemtrails Over The Country Club
• Let The Light In
• New Song
• Henry, Come On
• Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd
Encore
• New Song
• Say Yes To Heaven

it’s prime opportunity, and because of that it’ll never happen and it’s going to be the exact same Coachella set and setlist + half of a new song 

Those are my thoughts as well.
May 21st doesn't seem like the release date anymore. They usually give us much more time to pre-order all the vinyl variants, etc.
And I don't see her record label release an album on a Wednesday. It's Lana, must be on a Friday.

She did say it, see for yourself https://www.instagram.com/honeymoon/p/DCzwsqYzuUm/

Help- you can't joke about that stuff the mods will get you 
But yes it was.

I just jumped up from the couch after reading this, and now my bfs nose is bleeding. This BETTER be something she actually said or im tracing your ip

unpopular opinon but I don't like any of her recent releases  
it doesn't feel meaningful or soulful to me idk 

this is some legal form of torture 

this is some legal form of torture 

WHAT IS THE BUS AND NIKKI HATE FOR AAH 
I'm tweaking out 

stalinboards I'm crying 

this is some legal form of torture 

this is some legal form of torture 

You're reminding me of this interview where she was on stage and someone asked her about why she decided to come back to making music and her response was something along the lines of because i want to blah blah then explicitly stated not because i have a contract to fulfill then kinda chuckled. i deffo subscribe to the theory of L+F being rushed to fulfill her contract

Yeah I agree, I'm not saying that she's completely free of any blame or criticism but I've always found the very aggressive way that people talk about her and her creative output or recent lack of artistry or whatever you want to call it, a little uncomfortable given how open she's been about unknowingly struggling with CFS for years and the plethora of other glaring issues in her personal life.
 
After thinking about it more, IIRC the contract/label theory was about both L+F and ADIAML. L+F was marketed as a "Double-LP" to try and fulfill the (alleged) remaining two albums on her contract, but I guess that didn’t fully satisfy the label, which is why she quickly followed up with ADIAML, which like you said makes a lot of sense.
I also remember some of the "insiders" alleging that the reason some of the better outtakes were scrapped was because Jesse St. John, who was credited a lot of them, was accused of sexual misconduct. 

L+F was such a cursed era particularly behind the scenes and I would really love to know what her original vision for the album was, especially with all the leaked "Aquamarina" visuals.

i still dont fully understand why she changed the name. but thats okay because its not mine to understand and i doubt id really understand it unless i had a similar experience i could relate it to, which i dont. but i agree that dropping "and the diamonds" had some sort of effect on her image/reputation, especially because of how established the name already was for her and MARINA in comparison is way less unique and memorable
 
i think the history that surrounds and the diamonds also has something to do with it. when i think of MARINA, despite it being like 7 years since she changed it, theres not as much history or moments that stand out in relation to the name. like, marina and the diamonds is so reminiscent of her roots and beginnings as an indie artist on myspace. creating iconic moments like the ones ive and many others have personally tied to and the diamonds is harder to replicate with just marina

i don’t know what it is but i feel like if her name was still marina and the diamonds she would not be dogpiled on this much by literally everyone for anything she does. or at least it wouldn’t be as bad. i fear the name change was the first domino…
 
i miss and the diamonds so bad
