Fun to see that Forbes has joined the list of publications that doesn't have an editor ("This frame, the full-length climbs from No. 31 to No. 44, selling another 2,588 copies"). Also, it's amazing they attributed the sales to her playing a festival, without mentioning that almost all of the sales would have been of the brand new edition.

(Spoiler above complaining about lazy magazines)

On the plus side, this is awesome news, and shows just how powerful Lana is as a world wide artist.

I'm fine with one MV per record - if it'll be a serve like CN necklace was.

 

Better than 3 lame-ass BB videos.

She could have used the footage of the second Arcadia with the swing for Cherry Blossom, it would have been so cute

Fishtail - Pepper - Taco Truck always like a ⛓️‍💥 chain together (It is impossible not to listen to them together when one of these three songs comes on)

YESSS !!! I’M NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS IT THEN 

[blackenedrussianpoetry 2,488]

One of my favorite things about lanz is how far-out she could b with the tracklisting… woah she really placed a song like fingertips in the same album as peppers

(The same way she placed diet mountain dew after video games)…

I haven't watched it  yet, but Abigail always does smart, in depth reviews of records so this was a fun one to pop up.

Jeff Tweedy (one of the main guys from Uncle Tupelo, the band who just about defined alternative country as a genre) and Bleachers covering Margaret. I never thought I'd see the day, and this is one step towards all the disparate threads of my life becoming one.

Edit to add - I didn't realise Jeff had mentioned Lana in the past!

Quote

“Of all the big pop stars right now,” he said, “she’s great. Amazing, really. I mean, it’s incredible how huge her records are considering they are almost all ballads! There is this low simmering energy in them that isn’t about tempo or volume, but closest to Leonard Cohen, and yet she’s huge.” He smiled and shook his head at the thought.

Title Track, A&W, Candy Necklace, Kintsugi, Fingertips and Paris Texas are career highlights me. 

 

Her best album along with NFR, but for very different reasons.

[SalvaWHORE 34,113]

I still cant get over the fact that we only have one single music video for this era, this is so painful. Ocean Blvd, you deserve more than this

[Chemtrail 3,114]

Does anyone else remember one of the insiders saying that Lana changed most of the song titles not long before the album was released?
