You probably mentioned it, but the « see you in September » post from Neil is surely from the LDR9 photoshoot… 

 

So this means they either delayed the album rollout or he reused the Lana shoot for Weyes Blood?

tbh i think the pictures of the waves were never shot with the intention of them being used for ldr9, i think the initial “see you in sept” was about weyes, and at some point down the line lana was like “oh those waves are cute. can i use them for my vinyl pretty please”

[Venice Peach 54,293]

I hope we get a couple of new pictures for each single like the DIK (song) ones. They are really different from the album ones and it would be a nice way of completing an already amazing photoshoot.

 

White Dress had a single cover and we already had the album one so maybe there's hope

Okay everyone I'm in a need of a little assistance bc im an indecisive whore

I'm trying to decide where I want to travel to experience the album for the first time. I began this tradition back with chemtrails. I flew out to LA, took some edibles and listened to the album as the sun came up by the Hollywood sign on release day. With Blue Banisters, I took a scenic drive through the country side. Here are my options for Ocean Blvd.

Northern California (Sunset)

Cannon Beach in Oregon (Sunset)

Somewhere in the mountains (maybe Colorado?)

A Flower Field in my home state

 

Any suggestions are highly appreciated! Thanks darlings

Just mentioning it here… 

lustforlife, before committing his LB suicide, did mention that this album would have piano but much more instrumentation. And he said she had collabed with a lot of artist in many genres but they didn’t know yet what would make the album if any

My guess is that he used a scrap from his Lana shoot and was referring to Weyes, but it’s not that far-fetched to think the album should have been out before March if the theft hadn’t occurred

I interpreted the waves (that are in the DNC logo and his posts) to be for the ocean in Ocean Boulevard, but maybe that's just coincidence.

Aw what a great tradition! My vote is NorCal at sunset for sure. With the imagery of Ocean Blvd, you need to be on the pacific coast, and it’s only right that you honour the infamous Del Norte County by being in that region! California is a must for any Lana album that makes explicit mention to the elements of nature lol, and I’m a big proponent of the phrase, west coast, best coast. 🌊

yeah

and i have this gnawing feeling it could be american whore and i really really really really really hope it's not

i've kind of accepted that there's always going to be a couple songs on each album that i just won't like - AKA, UV & honeymoon are the only albums where i don't feel like this so nn

[lifeisavelvetcrowbar 1,233]

OMG! I needed day to process my emotions. The way we always win year after year as Lana stans. The songwriting is giving Blue Bannisters + LMLYLAW. The orchestration is giving Paradise and Honeymoon. The way the song starts chill and builds into a huge climax is giving Chemtrails song. I love BB and COCC but these are very stripped back and low key albums. Ocean Boulevard is just big and grand and powerful. If this song is any indicator, it’s seeming like this may be her best and biggest album since NFR. Also, maybe I’m completely off base here, but is anyone else hearing a subtle vagina metaphor in the title of song/album in the way she sings about this forgotten and unused tunnel, and the way she sings about her fear of being alone and unloved? “Don’t forget me! Like the tunnel under Ocean Boulevard”

[Super Movie 51,690]

I literally haven't stopped thinking about this album since yesterday. The next 92 days are gonna be brutal

ok this has probably been mentioned before but lana is referencing this movie in her cover: 

and i was wondering why would she do that, what is this movie about? 

 

well, here’s a description from google: 

In this film adaptation of a Tennessee Williams play, Alva is a radiant Southern belle who clashes with her oppressive mother, Hazel. Hazel is trying to force Alva to take an affluent husband, but the young woman has eyes for Owen Legate, a handsome city slicker visiting their tiny Mississippi town. Hazel disapproves of Owen and forces him to stop seeing her daughter. In an act of revenge, Alva takes up with her mother's beau, J.J.

 

then here’s a rotten tomato review:

Natalie Wood plays Alva Starr, the glamour queen of a local boarding house with a nymphomaniac mother who literarily pimps her daughter to draw more business. Regardless of the sordidness of her circumstances, Alva beautifies the grim facts of life with her girlish imaginations, expecting the father who deserted the family would return to her bosom someday. 

 

so we got mommy issues, daddy issues, dating mom’s boyfriend, glamour queen, and a boarding school…lizzy grant is here bitches.  also, i feel like this is the inspiration for american whore. 

 

here are some pictures from the film: 

(these remind me of the alternate vinyl covers)

if Peach Fuzz is song title, please it being slutty bedroom bop
