album Lana Del Rey - 'Did you know that there's a tunnel under Ocean Blvd'

[CottageHore]

I have to get off TikTok. I just saw some 16 year old stan just comment under their video of Lana saying

 

”UV is trash and nothing on Ultraviolence comes close to the masterpieces on Blue Banisters, you’re not a real fan if you think UV is her best”  

[ontherocks]

I don't understand this early leak talk on Analboards. The single is doing amazing, the pre orders are great and selling out, why would you want it to leak early? 

If it leaks early, you will overplay the songs and stream them less once it's officially out.

Let homegirl have her moment to shine. 

The competition is stiff anyways

The irony when BB contains several UV rejects...would they be a real fan if they didn't already know that?

 

Just came across this interview posted from the Seattle record store that Lana visited shortly after the SNL performance:

Lana Del Rey. She had a record out called Born to Die. It had just come out. It was doing well. People were wondering who she was and before I knew it she was on Saturday Night Live essentially as a nobody. I think maybe just a week or two after the record dropped.

And she's just, if you remember, she's just standing there. And I recall watching and I never thought anything other than she's beautiful and she's, you know, a diva or chanteuse really. She played a couple songs great but she got panned the next day. One of the worst performances on SNL. It broke her heart. You know the record label, her management everybody was in panic mode over it and the following day after Saturday Night Live or a day or two after I get a call from Universal Music. Would you be willing to have Lana Del Rey?

Quote

They reached out to you?

Matt

Well, yeah, I just I loved the record. I just saw her on SNL live... yeah well it didn't go over too well. I mean I thought she was great. And I said 'I also just had Mike McCready asking about her. He loves her, Mike,' I said 'the people love her up here.'

He says 'OK, well we need to get her back on the street level and we need a retail venue that can host her properly and get her to do that. We think she deserves somewhere where she can feel natural. She was maybe under a little bit too much pressure on Saturday Night Live being on network TV.'

I said, 'Well, absolutely yeah, Brian'  And so she comes to see how it was. It was, you know, sold out. I think we had to buy the record in advance and you know, 800 people there. Couldn't get anymore in. She comes on stage and before she even says a word... it's standing room only and everyone is just applauding her because she needed it. This was a young girl that just got panned nationally. Just for performing her two songs, and it's just that was her style. She was like a Julie London type. You know she was like a Dusty Springfield. She wasn't there to put on a big show on Saturday Night Live. She was just there to do her songs... and she almost dropped to her knees,' was in tears over the applause that she was getting. I recall her her lip was quivering and she couldn't even say anything on the mic. She was really nervous and she was being over flooded with all this gratitude. She goes on to do her set there at the shop. She probably played for 40 minutes or so and she's getting an encore, which rarely happens at an in-store. You know? In-stores... They're playing their songs, they're selling their record. It's an animated book reading. And she goes into the backroom and I go back there with her. It's just her and I. She's sitting on the backstage area behind the curtain. And I opened the curtain just a little bit.  'Lana, look there' and she peeks out and they want another song. She stands up and all she says was 'I knew this was the right decision coming to Seattle and playing here.' And I'm hugging her again, her lips quivering and like I'm 'Lana, do you want to do another song?'  And she says, 'I want to do Heart-shaped Box by Nirvana. I was like whoa! She goes 'it's my favorite song and I'm in Seattle'... and she's like prepping herself and then she sits back down she's 'I don't know if I can do that here in this store or in this in this city, how about can you just play it really, really loud and then I'll come out and I'll sign autographs.' I said, 'Alright, alright let me go to the front, I'll crank it.' . That's what we did. We just cranked Heart Shaped Box and she walked past me and said  'Thank you so much.' She stayed to sign autographs for everybody. One reason I think, that to this day Seattle is one of her stronger markets is for what she did that particular day in 2008.

I remember the hate train was so bad that even a harmless cover (that she impressively pulled off imo) got negative reactions from the blogs.

 

 

Would love to see her cover this again someday.

I don’t really understand the “unmelodic” / “no good melodies” critique the last few years. Like all of the songs have melodies  maybe some ppl got confused and only streamed the spoken word poetry album??

me either, it's really embarrassing on their part

Aw, this is really sweet. Thanks for posting.

Lana (still) having the last laugh is the most gratifying justice being served ever. Even her lazy ass and all the QFTC Karen-ness can't stop the ever increasing streams and non-stop critical acclaim. I hope she has made peace with most of her issues so she is set to go all out gun blazing with top creativity.

Haven't some folks already recieved a message that their items will be shipped two weeks after release?  

 

Only what gets shipped during release week counts for the first week numbers 

Do vinyl that ship earlier than release count to that?

Why do these dumbasses think we care about information like this when they can actually describe the songs or provide actual interesting information

[VeniceBeach]

New info about the samples from that user

 

- Paris,Texas is the only song that sounds just like the original sample 

- Grandfather has added instruments 

- Fishtail is reproduced; has the same melody 

- Peppers is "completely reproduced" 

- Taco Truck's VB sample is the original instrumental with minor changes
