Lana Del Rey - Blue Banisters

[Zu]

Nobody in the world presents themselves as an angel looking to be fucked hard unless they’re off their gunny on meth or Lambrini and there ARE more interesting ways of presenting such things

HONEYMOON AND RIDE FTW

 

[Zu]

I do hope that this will be the cover of the deluxe reissue

 

[POP!]

It's all clicking this evening, even "Arcadia". It's so... regal.

I'm not from the land of the palms, so I know I can't stay here
I'm not native
My curves, San Gabriel all day
And my lips like the fire licks the bay

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

I'm obsessed with Arcadia. Just BEAUTIFUL.

What's not BEAUTIFUL however is that the BLUE ALT-COVER vinyl REPRESS of Chemtrails I posted earlier in the thread seems to have a bizarre retail price of about FIFTY POUNDS

Seeing as there are 15,000 being pressed, I might wait for the inevitable PRICE DROP a couple of weeks post-event

 

[Jark]

please tag me if the price does drop 'cos I want that!

the Urban Outfitters exclusive with the mint green vinyl and regular case is only 24 quid so I might just get that instead

 

[Iguana]

How about Wednesday instead?

There seems to be a GLOBAL listening party at 7pm BST today:

 

[COB]

This album better not be longer than an hour, because there's a very important event at 8

 

[COB]

I mean it's actually fine, I'm just sticking my NEB in

 

[COB]

This album better not be longer than an hour, because there's a very important event at 8

Although I just looked it up on Spotify and it's one hour and one minute long, Trollana strikes again!

I was gonna say

 

[Jark]

well I think it goes without saying that we'll have to skip Beautiful.

 

[COB]

Listening to this throughout today! Like that she has a song about the collapse of Sir Phillip Green's retail empire.

Does that mean the title track is her memories of a BHS Cafe?

 

[GNL]

Linda Perry turning up to the studio to record P!nk's album:

well I think it goes without saying that we'll have to skip Beautiful.

 

[Jark]

just had my most transcendetal moment with Blue Banisters. I loved it since she dropped the tringle in summer but really... what an insightful, beautiful and devastating four minutes of song. she's unparalleled.

also LOVING Black Bathing Suit. which clearly should've been a single. I resent Arcadia being released instead.

It's my karmic lineage...

new top 5
01 Blue Banisters
02 Sweet Carolina
03 Black Bathing Suit
04 Dealer
05 Violets for Roses

 

[Jark]

the ideal singles campaign:

01 Blue Banisters
02 Violets for Roses
03 Black Bathing Suit
04 Dealer (with the album)

luckily her music is phenomenal so people turn up for it, but she really needs a new team to fix all the fuckery around singles, release dates, rubbish videos and vinyl fuck ups.

 

[Jark]

OK guys sorry for the shameless spammage but after making it the butt of several cheap jokes in this very thread I'm now in love with Beautiful.

the romanticism. the delicacy. sis, the melodies!

this bitch could sing my obituary along with exact date and method of death and I'd still throw it enough streams to peak top 165 for exactly one day on Spotify.

[Iguana]

Just waiting for Madame @Jark to have a moment to the incredible Arcadia now

 

[Jark]

in the words of the legendary Miss Nicola Schroedingerz (RIP), don't hold your BREATH!

 

[AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaAAaaaA]

Having tapped out for the entirety of the Chemtrails campiagn, I was GAGGED to discover Lana still shoots actual music videos still

I mean nothing is quite on the level of the lavish likes of RIDE - but Chemtrails (the song) had some sort of full-on concept involving WOLVES and blood for the video (), and Lizzy even ROLLERSKATED for the White Dress video

Nothing from BLUE BANISTERS seems to have had quite the same amount of effort put in so far though Hoping for a Dealer MINI-FILM!

 

[Pipo]

It's been years since she's given us a PROPER video innit.

 

[Pipo]

I didn't like anything from COCK sorry.

 

[Jark]

I didn't like anything from COCK sorry.

HOW is it possible that a Lana fan could not like ANYTHING from COCC? girl it was hardly a RADICAL DEPARTURE. stop advocating for the extermination of the gays!

 

[Pipo]

It was BORING and beige (banisters) for me. Sorry pet.

 

[Iguana]

I'm still absolutely FIZZING about the recent Venice Bitch hate. I can't sleep at night.

 

[Iguana]

(send me a Hilton Hotel)

 

[Jark]

in at #2 with 18.9k

 

[Iguana]

Omg yay so pleased she didn't break her ALL TOP 2 streak

 

[Iguana]

@Jark How far was she off bloody Elton?

 

[Iguana]

She has five number 1 albums and two number 2 albums. Not too shabby is it?

 

[Marilyn]

I was very happy for Elton's #1 single but I was praying for both Lana and Duran Duran's very good new album to somehow overtake him this week

 

[Jark]

Dealer 87 in the UK this week. which is also the last two digits of my coke guy.

 

[Jark]

@Jark How far was she off bloody Elton?

approximately 5 decades

 

[Iguana]

So Elton did 31k.

Oddly Lana is #1 on the vinyl album chart. I thought that wouldn't count until next week?!

 

[Jark]

some variants shipped already, others (eg. UO) did not. it'll be split over the next few weeks.

 

[Pipo]

I'm listening to this album every single day. I love you Lana, please forgive me.

 

[Iguana]

Eating here tonight to celebrate Lana's success that she probably doesn't care about

 

[funky]

Ooh I've just heard "Dealer". How fabulous.

The second half of “Blue Banisters” is something else. The sadness in her voice from the “summer comes…” bridge on, which settles into that ambient noise instead of something more uplifting, is devastating.

My top five from the album for now:

1. Black Bathing Suit
2. Text Book
3. Cherry Blossom
4. Blue Banisters
5. Living Legend
