Ultra Violet 19,208 Posted January 13 21 hours ago, daphnedinkley said: totally random (appropriate for the random lana discussion thread i guessย ) but i was just thinking, i wonder if lana collects anything? like i'm sure she probably collects vinyls or some other kind of physical music, but with the way she's moved around a lot in her life (NY, california, alabama, etc) and described having a somewhat nomadic lifestyle at certain points, i wonder if she's somebody who owns a lot of stuff or is more of a minimalist. like idk does she like to collect vintage magazines? ornate wine bottles? decorative plates? antique glassware? star wars funko pops?ย is she a candle girly with a huge supply that could last a year? does she have any vintage film or tourย posters on her walls? would she go nuts in the B&M soft furnishings aisle? so many questions I remember an interview from the BTD era (like maybe before it's release) where Lana said she doesn't like to spend her money but occasionally she buys a nice piece of jewellery. And we can totally see that in the BTD and paradise area. She wore the same emerald ring, the same diamond studded choker with the crucifix, the same silver snake bracelet and a few other things multiple times (once i spend hours looking through the gallery in sightings on Lanapedia to analyse her fashion from 2012-2015 so i didn't miss much lol). But it seems these days she doesnt care for it anymore! Also I dont think she's a minimalist. Have you seen the state of her bedroom in some of the photos she's shared But she also doesn't seem like an overconsumer. 2 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sunbather Moonchaser 2,840 Posted January 13 Many people (including me) have been talking about DYKTTATUOB as 'Ocean Blvd' but I think that Lana would've wanted for us to call it 'Tunnel' and here's why: ย So in the title track of the album, she says "Don't forget me like the tunnel under ocean blvd" which is a metaphor for her career. And she also asks "Did you know that there's a tunnel under ocean blvd?" which signifies as that the person she's talking to already knows what Ocean Blvd is but may be unaware that there's a tunnel under it. Therefore, people KNOW Ocean Blvd, but most people don't know about the tunnel. So let's say that the tunnel is her career. And the fact that many (including me) have been calling it 'Ocean Blvd' while we should've been calling it 'Tunnel' since Tunnel is the forgotten part, so we have forgot about the Tunnel, and we only focus on the most well-known part: The Ocean Blvd.ย ย ย I just read this out loud and realized that I made no sense ย 5 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

baddisease 18,356 Posted January 15 After Lana marrying a violent transphobe, racist, and MAGA supporter, I look at her differently. I look at her in a way I should always have. I love her music and art. I genuinely thought she was a good person. But I don't think she is anymore. I should not have treated her the way I did, being uncritical and not separating her art from who she is as a person. So her and her husband being trash actually had a silver lining in that I'm not naive about artists anymore. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But isn't that the kind of relationship she's always sung about, at least since Ultraviolence? In Ride, she was into patriotic rockers.

Then she married a racist Trump supporter who hates all of those things and wants to violently attack trans women. And when she saw people talk about it, she instead asked people not to and begged fan pages not to address it. Instead of openly responding or affirming she heard us or talked to him or something, she wanted to do PR and do it in a horrible way.

But even if she chose him, she could have said something to that effect but she didn't. Instead she scrambled to keep her fans from talking about it bc that's all she cared about.ย ย If that's his only motivation, he's still a transphobe.

somber 1,002 Posted January 19 I was listening to Watercolor Eyes tonight, and I realized that, the guitar and production has the same melody as the Zodiac leak. I don't know if it's just me, but if you listen closely, you can hear some similarities. Or maybe I'm losing my mind because the TikTok banย 4 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
