i was just listening to taco truck and it got me thinking. do we think lana can actually fight? the lyric "i've gotten better but i can be violent too" and her infamous "i won't not fuck you the fuck up" tweet. she always strikes me as so sweet and soft i can't imagine her actually beating the shit out of someone 

 

in all honesty i’d let her beat me up to the point of no return and i wouldn’t even fight back

He said it would be announced last week and that’s the only thing that was announced so it seems pretty likely, I’m not holding out hope for anything else at this point tbh

I think it might've been the coke necklace

Aaron (For Whatever Reason is his channel) is also fantastic. 

YES. He reacts track by track. I don't know how he will react to the interludes.

I second it! He’s my fave. He pays attention to everything, watches everything what’s possible and even checks Lanapedia. King. 

He’s a certified Lana stan  he even loved Beautiful.

 

I’m excited for him to go back to the pre NFR albums after Ocean Blvd. 

 

He did an hour and 40 min summary at the end of NFR. And he did a 2 hour 20 min video on All Too Well (TMV) by Taylor Swift which got taken down by YouTube for copyright stuff. I felt so bad for him. He’s super committed to quality content.

I saw some people in his OB master post suggesting he pair A&W with pastor and CN with Jon Batiste, and others were saying dont pair them. I wonder what he will do. 
 

I think he said he wants to get the first video out on Friday, assuming The Grants.

Ok I like The Grants but lowkey imagine the serve A&W as opening track would be…

A&W, Judah Smith and Candy Necklace are like the evening / nighttime of the album. First you come out of your hotel room and attend Churchome, after the sermon you drive home at night and obsess over candy necklaces until you fall asleep.

And then you are awakened at 5am by the loud Jon Batiste interlude ... if you want to listen to the album early in the morning, I think this is the song to start with.

Lana’s album stands right in between the more digestible ones (Kali, Caroline, Kelela) and the more avant-garde (Yves Tumor) and that might hurt her.

 

However, the fact that Pitchfork loved the singles and included them in their playlist does say something. 

 

Just for comparison:

Best New Track: "A&W"

Pre-release singles added to Pitchfork Selects: "A&W", "Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd", "The Grants" (3/3)

 

There's a...very interesting pattern here, but I don't want to get my hopes up. Anyway, the fact that A&W was named BNT while all three (!) singles made the Pitchfork Selects playlist is an encouraging and promising sign. I think that the album will get a 8.0+ score. Hopefully it'll be named BNM as well.
