It is still eligible for Best Spoken Word Album at the Grammys though, so maybe this will be the one... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Spoken_Word_Album

ready to cry over experiences i've never had like always

i think the most interesting thing about her poetry so far is that she really, really seems to be opening up in a way we’ve never seen. i feel as though we’re really going to hear a new layer of her we can’t understand in her music

since the audio book is published on 28 Jul, which makes it eligible for this year's Grammys? 

 

or does it have to be published through Interscope before 31 Aug to make it eligible for this year tho?

 

i want her to win one so badly

 

[Yosemite 23,566]

[Ocean Boulevard 39,045]

So do do guys heard only LA who I am or the full poetry book?

 

I'll try to stay strong and not listen to LA who I am to love you before tomorrow bc I want to listen to the whole thing while I'm taking a walk ,looking at the sky and feeling a soft breeze on my skin

 

Or maybe I'll listen to LA who I am today aaah is it good?

Since it will be available in full as an audiobook on Audible and Google Play Store on July 28th, that alone makes it eligible, it doesn't necessarily have to be released on Spotify/Apple Music etc. before August 31st.

The poems are just so long (in a great way!) it's almost like it's too much content for me to take in at once, so if possible, I'll probably dive into the poems early

It's annoying me that on Lana's site, there are buttons to order the CD, vinyl and picture disc, but not the cassette...girl, who is handling the merch because this is messy. https://lanadelrey.com/

I’m at work and supposed to be taking calls right now but this is worth getting fired for

[SouthInGuy 1,699]

I wish the audio wasn't coming out in advance of the actual book (and the records/cds). I'm sure I'll break down and listen to it tomorrow, but I'm kind of not as excited about this as I should be...
