TRENCH

I don’t typically like to bring race into random topics such as this, but like ma’am… there’s a pattern being set here and it’s not looking cute she’s not even a artist anymore, she’s just a machine to get her and Republic Records as much money as they can from her brand. I like her music and for the most part I separate “art from artist” but the little schpiel she tried to do with politics pre-pandemic was questionable

Sorry, but that trailer could’ve been done by Lana herself on one of her broken MacBooks. The aesthetics are blatant Lana inspired

And all you get is one audio file of her explaining how her ghost writers came up with those mid songs We truly are in the end times of post capitalism also notice how this is the second time she’s trying to take a number one from a POC artist….

Still waiting for the confirmation of whether there is another version of St. Tropez

Leak the remaining unleaked songs we need or else

This abomination of a music file that people STILL think it’s her?

Hold awn what happened? I remember when she started it but didn’t know it ended at all

yeah i remember the LFL leaks causing shit to hit the fan, I think it even delayed the album's release too he really does

the last time i update mines was right after LFL was released and I decided to just stream music, I need to download an entire new masterpost at this point

wasn't it eclipse's fault for leaking Architecture and Love early that made Lana (mad at him) change the tracklist and the general direction of the record?

@BlackoutZone do you know if a polished version of St. Tropez exist or did someone lied for sh*t and giggles 10 years ago?

Not me laughing at the last 3 million pages The cats are out of the bags, for the sanity of everyone, might as well leak any remaining information that we are missing cough @eclipse and Boz

not lead, but def should be single in general also its about to be a year where are the damn videos??? my bf speculated that she'll pull a The Gift and release the vids a year after the album like she did with The Gift

Oh got it! Still hoping for the anniversary re issue like a delulu tldr= Too Long, Didn’t Read, aka a short summary

Betty Boop Boop

Wow after 3 hours of reading all 59 pages it’s so cool to see almost-decade old questions being answered. But now I’m truly mad that a BTD 10th anniversary edition was supposed to come out. Now I need to know why it didn’t happen

been here since 2013, how do we even begin to remember every fight on this site I need a "best-of" list to choose from

Like your fave Sky Ferrari’s tatas in full glory in her debut album’s artwork?

All Sexual Assault Charges Against Rex Orange County Dropped https://variety.com/2022/music/news/rex-orange-county-sexual-assault-charges-dropped-1235468195/#article-comments The other person present is (was?) the boyfriend of the woman who accused Rex.

I dont think the radio ban is as prevalent anymore... she's usually played on throwback 80s radio stations... Isla Bonita, Like a Prayer, Holiday, Lucky Star, Material Girl, Papa Dont Preach are the ones that still spin. But that does mean that her newer stuff past the 80s is definetly not played, so its more of a half-ban

Oh god I’m about to tear up 😭😭😭

I’ve told this story a few times on this site but not fleshed out. I discovered Lana when I was working at my local library, (I was 16, this was in 11th grade around January 2013) as we had to have volunteer hours in order to graduate high school. At that moment I was learning to add music to my iPod/iTunes and wanted to expand my music experience (the only music I knew about was whatever played on the radio; I didn’t knew albums or artist discographies were a thing until 2010… I was a late bloomer in general) so I started to rent out CDs like crazy from the library. One day I’m organizing the CDs and see Born to Die and thought to myself “huh, I’ve been hearing about this woman a lot, let’s see what’s this is about”. So that night I popped the CD in a CD player and… nothing. I processed absolutely nothing. But something told me to burn the whole album to my computer and to give it a second chance. And I’m so glad I did. I took me weeks, but slowly song by song, I was loving the album. I think the last two songs that took me the longest to like was Born to Die and National Anthem because of how sonically dark they were compared to the stuff I’ve heard in my life to that point. When I say Lana single-handedly opened the door for me to the world of music, no lies are told. I went into a vortex of new information; because of Lana I learned about demos and instrumentals. When I found her unreleased music on SoundCloud (I think Puppy Love was the first unreleased song I’ve heard of hers) I fell in love even more. Because of her I found Marina and Lorde and it just keep snowballing from there, learning about new artists and genres, and ultimately the beginning of my music collection. I joined this site sometime in 2013, and I remember already being here for a while when we were collectively freaking about about her announcement of Ultraviolence at the Tropico film premier (which I can’t believe I witnessed all of this in real time). My interest in all honesty, as others here have mentioned, has dwindled. It’s a combination of the fact that I’m getting older and I don’t have as much time to invest in “stanning” as a 26 y.o., her lack of interest in keeping the hype up on every album cycle, or her ignorant, clueless-not-in-a-malicious-way behavior. Which is menial compared to many other artists, but I just don’t waste my time in “defending” her like a stan would anymore. I still don’t like COCC, but now I’m connecting more with NFR and BB more than in the past. I don’t think we’ll ever get some of the clever lyrics and more upbeat music from the BTD to LFL time period, but this new record has me intrigued and hopeful that it won’t sound like the last 3 records (where I enjoy the majority of the songs, i just don’t find them to be cohesive records). She will always be my #1 and I will always enjoy her songs , even the ones I don’t like (which are very few in total). She’s my comfort artist and I am very lucky to grow up alongside her music which has been there for me; especially Honeymoon, which I regard as my top favorite record of all time and click with the most on a “spiritual” level if you can call it that. I complain about the direction she goes as an artist, but two things for certain are that I am glad she has short periods in-between albums, and that she single-handedly shifted the music world.

I think there has to be a balance; overdoing it leads to the album leaking two months early and Lana scrapping it ala LFL, good speculating keeps the hype going, especially for the fans that love role playing as true crime detectives

this is a BOZ face reveal

yes. For example, this old lady says "NAUR, ITS THREW ITS THREW". That's "No, It's true! It's true!" in American English
