My standard vinyl came and it's so pretty!

I'm not really a fan of gatefold as it tends to look too chunky and some of them don't stay shut properly if they're cheaply made, is this a double vinyl then or? I ordered mine months ago but i cant find the receipt for it, has anyone gotten a dispatch confirmation yet? I hope it isn't lost or something

I’m so happy to see sportcruiser is the most popular poem 

 

I’ve loved it so much since July, it really speaks to me and feels so personal and the message 

 

UGH she’s amazing

Does someone know if Violet was submitted for SPOKEN word Grammy?

 

 

Who else submitted..

Not sure if Violet really was submitted or anyone else who definitely was, but there’s a good chance James Taylor’s Break Shot was submitted. It seems like most people already assume he’s her biggest competition in the category.

Bare Feet On Linoleum is my favourite by far, it’s so dark 

[Poor Stacy 12,072]

So will this be on streaming tonight? I would love to hear it again.

[Make me your Dream Life 88,047]

you've a mother, I do not. I'm an orphan. can I come home now. can I come home now?

[SuperMegaStan 10,008]

[Dominikx4 25,413]

 okay, so.... they only put the 96 kbps version on the CD as well?

 

digital audiobook file is above, the 320 kbps extract from my CD on the bottom

 

 

[Trash Magic 28,422]

just received the vinyl. The back cover........ Think the bare minimum and then go lower

[Trash Magic 28,422]

The inner gatefold and the sleeve.... Dude I can't. I think whoever was responsible for the art direction should take a long hard look at themselves. This is SO shoddy and beyond amateur

I gotta disagree. I know it's simple af but I think it works, for some reason.

At least there's more work in this gatefold than in the NFR one lmao 

[Trash Magic 28,422]

It's not even "simple" it's dumb and extremely poorly executed. It's actually kinda hilarious to think a) somebody got paid for this b) it passed multiple rounds of approval c) the person responsible felt good enough about it to submit it

The Official EDM just came out:

Um hello, Lana del Rey, TAP Management, Universal, Simon + Schuster, literally ANYONE who works on this team - I live in Australia and the links in your EDM are ALL broken and NONE of them lead to the Official Store and NOTHING can be bought. Honestly, what is the point of sending this to your global audience when the links don't work outside the country. I am in Australia and ALL of the links to the store are broken still. Please pass this on to the webmanager and/or marketing team. Do you want me to buy this merchandise or not?!

 

Even if I wanted to buy the Collector’s Edition where the hell would I even buy it. This is such a joke.
