Random Lana Discussion Thread

[bored]

I know I'm complaining about the lack of info this era but like... It's no wonder Norman felt kinda dead on arrival for me. I guess there's some element of mystery (maybe a little too much haha) when it comes to the Chemtrails release.

1. Norman Fucking Rockwell (a snippet was released officially ahead of album - as part of album trailer)
2. Mariners Apartment Complex (released officially ahead of album)
3. Venice Bitch (released officially ahead of album)
4. Fuck It, I Love You (released officially ahead of album)
5. Doin' Time (released officially ahead of album)
6. Love Song (a snippet was teased via Instagram ahead of album)
7. Cinnamon Girl (multiple snippets were teased via Instagram ahead of album)
8. How To Disappear (a snippet was teased via Instagram and the song performed live, in full, ahead of album)
9. California (a snippet was teased via Instagram ahead of album)
10. The Next Best American Record (demo leaked in full ahead of album)
11. The Greatest (released officially ahead of album)
12. Bartender
13. Happiness Is A Butterfly (multiple snippets were teased via Instagram ahead of album)
14. hope is a dangerous thing for a woman like me to have (released officially ahead of album)

I get where you're coming from, having some element of mystery adds up to the hype and satisfaction of listening to a record for the first time ever. With Ultraviolence we had half the first record out (sans Cruel World). Honeymoon was a good example of secrecy; I'll never forget the leak recorded through a potato, thanks to some random store playing it.

NFR! was just a mess. No anticipation! I hope it's all a release surprise, with no snippets at all, except the single(s).

That wasn’t a random store! It was a planned deal where all Urban outfitters stores in the US played the record early!

Yeah unlike NFR when all of the following "accidental" leaks occurred:

1. FIILY (or was it TG?) was put up on Google like a week early

2. the FIILY/TG mv was put up early, people recorded it, and then her team realised and took it doen

3. Some French site put up the entire track list, with snippets, early

4. Cassette Girl leaked the entire album in lq

5. Some other guy got the CD early and leaked it early in hq

Oh yeah and she "leaked" VB and MAC a year before to cover up for the Israel debacle

[littleredpartydress]

The HM urban outfitters leak....the alarm going off in the middle of like every song

 

triggering. She better not ever do that again.

I remember being already late from my lunch break in my hot car driving back to work, seeing google play had TG for sale early - frantically making an account and finding my iTunes password to download it’s app, then putting it on repeat. Good Times!

Oh you can add to that, like 2 seconds of Bartender was in Chuck's instagram story before release ?

Well 6 years later, I'm finally appreciating Is This Happiness. I never disliked it. It just was always forgettable for me. Now I heard it once a few days ago and can't get it out of my head. 

[Ultradealerence]

She just followed someone, and whenever she does that she uploads sth, I checked her previously. So today is the day of a new Instagram post, probably irrelevant 

[ShadesOfFool]

Remembering that time lana told us about the book she was gonna write about the paranoid and doomed starlet who died in her pool. 
 

Yet another unfulfilled promise that would’ve been dope. I would’ve bought that book.
