Lana Del Rey - Blue Banisters

[Jark]

we're all just REALLY OBSESSED WITH HER HUN!

we are her mistress on the side. and sometimes that makes us sad, sad girls.

 

[Iguana]

I just stay quiet because I find her fanbase (including on Moopy tbh) to be among the most genuinely insane people on the internet

 

[POP!]

I do feel somewhat hurt this is the first album rollout where she hasn't already announced the next album name.

 

[Iguana]

All roads that lead to you as integral to me as arteries
That get the blood flowing straight to the heart of me
America, I need a miracle
I can't sleep at home tonight, send me a Hilton Hotel
Or a cross on the hill, I'm a lost little girl
Findin' my way to you

POETIC QUEEN

Dealer up 43 places to 132 on UK Spotify today, and up 38 spots to 114 on US

Watch her release Cherry Blossom

 

[Iguana]

(I actually adore Cherry Blossom, there's really not a bad song on this album!)

 

[Cerro de Casa]

OK so I will have my first listen party tonight

Are you ready Mopsty

 

[Pipo]

Imagine Dealer becoming her next mainstream hit, she's really overdue one.

Imagine if it gets remixed a la Summertime Sadness by Imanbek or Purple Disco Machine. *dies*

 

[Pipo]

OK so I will have my first listen party tonight

Are you ready Mopsty

I am positively FROTHING

 

[Iguana]

@Suedey Tissues at the ready

 

[Jark]

will he be crying or spunking? or both (again)?

 

[Tisch]

will he be crying or spunking? or both (again)?

He'll be crying while he's cumming

 

[Jark]

anyone in for a SYNC LISTEN of this EVENT ALBUM tonight?

 

[RJN]

anyone in for a SYNC LISTEN of this EVENT ALBUM tonight?

If it’s at 8:30 or after then yes

 

[Jark]

let's do 8.30 then!

@Suedey @Gangsta Nancy Lam @jivafox @Tisch @Iguana @octophone @Dark Carnival @Pipo

 

[Iguana]

I'm afraid we'll be out at dinner but there in spirit.

The album is #3 in the first UK midweeks - ahead of the new Biffy Clyro but behind Elton and Duran Duran. 4,500 chart sales currently separate number 1 and number 4.

 

[Iguana]

Sadly a number 3 would make it her lowest charting UK album if you exclude the poetry album

 

[Dark Carnival]

let's do 8.30 then!

@Suedey @Gangsta Nancy Lam @jivafox @Tisch @Iguana @octophone @Dark Carnival @Pipo

I’m not available beb x

 

[RJN]

How about Wednesday instead?

 

[Jark]

works fine for me!

 

[octophone]

I can do Wednesday...

 

[Whatevar]

Listening now omg

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Listening now omg

Me too and crying

 

[Jark]

that position and the sales are great considering the lack of vinyl ready for this week. I'm shocked.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

1. ULTRAViolence
2. NFR!
3. Born To Die / Paradise
4. Lust for Life
5. BLUE BANISTERS
6. Honeymoon
7. Chemtrails Over the Country Club

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Yeah I mean I've preordered them all and also streaming I guess it helps the Queen but I guess my vinyl pre-order won't count for this week's sales?

 

[Iguana]

That's a very good point!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

THUNDER is my Blue Banisters obsession of today

You roll like thunder, pouring all your drinks
The party's lit and you, my friend, half-cut when it begins
You roll like thunder, you're tryna catch that wind
That lightning in the bottle, that moonbeam in your hand

And you try to see the bright side when each new day begins
But you're not satisfied at the rainbow's end

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I can't help but think that had this album been the proper follow up to NFR! with a more regular campaign build up behind it, the critics might have nudged their review scores up even more...

 

[Jark]

vinyl will count when they ship which I think is next week or the following?

if it has sold a great vinyl number like COCC did (the current record holder for female artists!), it could theoretically re-peak that week, or re-enter top 5

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I pre-ordered the alt-cover RED VINYL, what a TROLLANA she is for not giving us a banisters BLUE vinyl

and there's a repress of CHEMTRAILS on BLUE vinyl coming in a few weeks (with an alt-cover I far prefer) for RSD Black Friday (WHATEVER THAT IS) that I will likely pick up too

 

[octophone]

Oh, fuck all this coloured vinyl, alt-cover horseshit. I mean, OK, the alternate cover for "COTCC" was an improvement but I'd have coped without it.

 

[Pipo]

1. ULTRAViolence
2. NFR!
3. Born To Die / Paradise
4. Lust for Life
5. BLUE BANISTERS
6. Honeymoon
7. Chemtrails Over the Country Club

I've never seen BTD and Paradise as a whole album, kinda like The Fame and Monster

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Hilariously, the black version of Blue Banisters seems to be the rarest currently on sale

Oh yeah - I saw a guy who runs a small label saying that he made 700 copies of an LP on coloured vinyl and 300 on black. The coloured copies flew out and were hitting £50 on Discogs while the much more limited black vinyl took several months to clear!

 

[Dark Carnival]

6. Honeymoon

Homophobia

 

[Pipo]

I've made peace with Ultraviolence, I think it's my all time fave album of hers but I can't get into the singles at all #sorry

1. Ultraviolence
2. NFR!
3. Born To Die
4. Lust For Life
5. Paradise
The rest are all fine, hopefully BB will crawl up with time COCC remains trash.

 

[Jark]

how can anyone who likes this hate COCC? they're not exactly apples and oranges hun.

She's such a troll!

OMG maybe @VoR was right?
