Hi, everyone! I am pleased to announce to you all that the site theme for Chemtrails Over the Country Club is now live for everyone. To switch to the theme, scroll down to the bottom of the page, click the "Themes" arrow, and select "Chemtrails Over the Country Club" I hope you all like it! It's been a long time coming, but my design helpers and I put a lot of thought and work into it and wanted to make sure it was just right. Just in time to celebrate Chemtrails's 4 week anniversary! That being said, I want to thank those who helped me bring my vision for the theme to life - @wraith for designing the logo, and @electra & @Rorman Nockwell for helping with some of the photoshop work. I really appreciate your help so much! Enjoy! x Preview: ** Also, while I have your attention, please consider voting for me in a contest I entered with a local radio station! If you DM me a screenshot of your vote, I'll enter you in my giveaway, or you can just vote anyway to be nice to me xx

i want roses in between my thighs, my pussy tastes like pepsi cola, have to touch myself to pretend you're there, etc, cocc is wonderful but i want more

Ya cause an industry plant is a pop artist who makes slow sad songs and routinely never has a single pop off, but did completely change the trajectory of contemporary pop music impermeably. Embarrassing for him

She needs to give us Cola’s sexy MILF older sister song and really tell us some more about her pussy. let us know that there’s some WHORES in this COUNTRY CLUB

I think what I miss the most, and I’ve thought about this a lot, is that in her other albums, especially Electra Heart, she was making societal criticisms but she did it in a way that really made you think. Like the average person would hear primadonna and think “oh catchy fun bitchy pop song” and it worked that way on a surface level, but for those that really looked into it, it obviously was satire. I miss the more hidden pretty on the surface but dark deep down kinda thing. I love her obviously! I just want less in your face and more “make me think in that special Marina way.” Idk I just thought Electra Heart was so much better than people let on. She really studied women from the fifties and sixties and nailed it with these over the top descriptions of them. Not to be that fan that can’t move on from EH, but I just miss it. Marina stuck out to me because of how you could easily bop to it but you could also really analyze it. I low key think it was more of an effective way of getting a point across. Electra Heart really made me think about materialism and roles and identity concepts without saying “This this and that” Idk. Rant over! But I miss that magic charm. I loved it. I loved the smoke and mirrors of it all. I loved analyzing it. I still study that character and rewatch the videos to see if I missed anything. I just loved everything about it. It was the perfect concept album. Everyone gives Lana credit for changing alternative sad pop but I swear Electra Heart was a huge part of that too. (And TFJ, and FROOT, too.) I heard in an interview when she said “they wanted me to be more commercial so I said okay, I’ll do it, but I’ll do it as a different person.” Amazing. TLDR: I miss the Marina that made you think “there’s more to this than shes letting on” or “this isn’t what it seems.” The songs that could be played on the radio and no one but some people would listen and think “oh this is actually mocking people who really act like this I.e primadonna.”

I feel like someone needs to diss her on a publication before she posts; like its a pattern

have u ever considered u just misunderstood the song and it has nothing to do with your trauma...

I hear Fantano framed Lana as an industry plant in one of his recent videos Mhm yeah, White Dress, one of Lana’s best songs, is about the time when she was plotting with the men in music business to become a star. Part of me wants Lana to not address her critics especially about her origins. White Dress already said a lot. And as much as White Dress is nostalgic or regretful, I think it would be good for Lana should cherish those memories for herself and only herself, instead of constantly hashing it out cryptically in public. On top of that—music critics continually act as gatekeepers of culture but their influence has considerably waned with social media & streaming.

RCS will bring the return of glamorous enigma del rey

QFTC 2.0

Why harsh? Knowledge about mental illnesses and media harassment was way weaker in 2007, people were generally more unsympathetic towards women. She's saying the truth; everyone would call Britney crazed back then. It's good that the society is progressing now.

I wanted to reply that we dont even know if bb is a song or a poem and that we should just wait... but your gif is distracting me

no more flannels!!!!!!!!

Do people really care about what Fantano has to say? I don't trust in anyone who doesn't like Freak

YES YES YES GIVE ME SENSUAL EXPLICITNESS LANA YOU CAN DO ITTTTTTTTT

Lmao can u imagine? “They’re so mysterious” Thing in question:

She will say nothing till June 1st...then she will post ‘I love beans’ with a picture of Charlies ass.

manifesting this we need it so badly

It's not a cover people talk about very often, but I would love vocals like she did on summertime. They're super strong and she sounds incredible on that track, so to hear more vocal delivery like that from her on this album would be a dream

Lmao RCS is actually the sequel to Tomb Raider confirmed, with Lana playing the lead role of Lana Croft. They wanted to release it the same day as COCC but they knew it would be too powerful

Lana Del Croft begging Rick Nowels to work on her next album after dismissing him for Jack

It’s so weird because she always posts almost daily right before making an announcement, makes an announcement or teases something, and then goes silent

But the thing is, she isn't lying in those lyrics. Nature IS purging us slowly. I understand your situation but I'll give you an example: I'm from Puerto Rico, in 2017 we experienced one of the worst hurricanes ever named Maria. It destroyed my house, I became homeless for months without a bed to sleep. When I saw my house with my belongings inside literally in pieces, I started crying and it was very hard. The people in my country are still scared but the beaches are clearer than ever and the air feels fresh. You may think the lyrics are cruel or too harsh but it's reality. Climate change is very real and we are destroying our planet every day.

Sometimes I wonder what y'all really want from her. We complain about her being boring and now we complain about her being too much. I really don't understand. PTP is no different than songs like Hermit The Frog or Can't Pin Me Down. This is the same Marina who wrote Hollywood or Mowgli's Road and let's not start with some of her weird/messy unreleased songs.

Omg not y’all writing novels about political theory. Obviously I’m not reading that. But I’m happy for you. Or sorry that happened.

I'm gonna e-mail HMV to see if they have RCS in their database brb

Is anyone else having a hard time connecting with this era? I’m not as hyped up about the upcoming album as I was with Chemtrails even though she was super delayed. Maybe I’m subconsciously preparing myself for June 1st to come and go without word on the album? Maybe a song snippet on Insta would light the fire in my excitement again. Sometimes I even go back to Lana’s Chemtrails announcement video where we heard “contemplating God under the chemtrails over the country club” for the first time and the spark instantly comes back: the rush of knowing sumn epic is coming; this community’s excitement over the preview; the imminent preorder, etc. Yeah I’m gonna go with we need more tangible receipts and I’ll be super jazzed again.

I think it‘s just a clever marketing strategy. She gives us a hint and lets us talk about it for weeks or months and creates a buzz this way. Speculations can build up a hype. Imagine if she said „Blue Bannisters out 29th of April. It‘s a piano ballad I recorded with Jack and it won‘t have a music video. It‘s 4:26 long“. edit: oh you meant RCS, not the song. Guess it‘s still the same though.

Wasn't fucked my way up to the top also sarcastic? Btw fmwuttt x money power glory would sound godly

Don't forget that, after the release of NFR!, she mentioned writing songs for a new version of 'Alice in Wonderland.' Perhaps that's part of what he's referring to? After 'Big Eyes,' and with all the success she's had since, I can see filmmakers seeking her out for scores or other additions to their films, though Hollywood is at its nadir right now. And she mentioned writing a theatrical musical--which, if true, is something I hope she think twice about, as Tori Amos totally derailed her career over her own musical, 'The Light Princess,' which took some seven years of her life and then flopped commercially, and, to me, creatively too.

Oh for sure I just think for someone to be an industry plant you would expect them to actually do something the industry might want. I get where the “shes manufactured” criticism comes from, and maybe the industry helped her craft her image, but the work she put out before she got set up with interscope kind of speaks for itself

only thing she says about the covid is: "Quarantined, all alone," /// "Virus come," and you got offended by these 4 words? that's an experience almost everyone had to go through so she can talk about it however she wants. and these 4 words are literally not harmful at all??? likee???? me too didn't end rape, of course, but it helped many women to come forward and helped them to share their experience. also she doesn't say me too ended rapes, she says "Me Too went on to unveil" you literally couldn't understand any of the words she said i guess. there can be some sightful criticizing but your comment looks like you pulled these ideas randomly also i hope you get well soon

Iconic

The more I see stuff like "Chromatica is her best era" and "Ava Max is a genius" and "Addison Rae comes up with great lyric concepts and is a great popstar" and seeing Charlie Puth and Black Eyed Peas listed as inspirations for the next album the more I just wonder exactly what kind of sell out era she is talking about. And with that list of influences I am less excited and more confused than I've ever been about a Charli release before. I don't know how to feel. I did like what I heard of the two new songs played at Bandsintown, and I like a lot of the artists listed in that tweet, but I don't see 1) how they fit Charli or 2) how they go together at all. I guess I'll just wait for the lead single to drop and see, although 1999 and BIOYL weren't exactly telling of the entirety of Charli.

I don't know if she does this to sound mysterious or because she just wants to. I just wish she could be more organized with her releases and stopped announcing dates that she has no intentions to keep

I hope not

This! Honestly, I am so hoping for a track that mirrors the sarcastic quips in Money Power Glory. I remember reading about how Lana knew MPG would be taken literally and that she was almost resigned with the assumptions that would be made despite it being very pointed and sardonic. It's interesting how this point in her career is almost reminiscent of the Ultraviolence era through the critics' accusations of her alleged inauthenticity and blatant apathy. I would argue that Rock Candy Sweet is just as deceiving of a title as MPG, and I'm really intrigued to see if she purposely picks a deceptively "sweet-sounding" soundscape or if she'll go full force with production that highlights the bitterness she's felt recently.

PTP's chorus is so addictive to sing along ugh. Manrina truly snapped AOTY incoming Anyway I do think she made some points with these lyrics but the problem is the way she EXPRESSED them. She's basically supporting Britney with that line but the way she wrote it can be kind of harsh tbh.

Take a few minutes to regain ur composure I surely did

finally listened to Purge the Poison, it's pretty good! Sounds like a mix of FROOT and TFJ.

Silence and scat attacks are always a sign that something is coming...and those have both already happened for this pre-release

Maybe she will post something today or Monday since those seem to be her favorite days to show signs that she's alive

I don’t know if we should interpret the present dead silence as a sign that RCS is indeed coming soon, with a lead single...

Yeah, but unfortunately no one normally understood the meaning, especially critics who slashed her for this album a lot. A random person listening to Electra Heart wouldn't even bother to visit the Tumblr etc. I don't even think her label realised what the concept was -- remember how her manager wanted her to get rid of Teen Idle? I agree with you and regardless of the popular opinions, this album indeed was her magnum opus. Not because of the sound, vibe or anything, but the amazing conceptualism. She's done so much research and was able to blend so many ideas using the commercial pop surface it's just amazing.

Agreed - Rock Candy Sweet could well be a sarcastic title - and I'd love her to make a song like "Brooklyn Baby" as imo it's such a great jab at the critics. I just hope she nails it if she's going for this revenge plot - RCS will be the Ultraviolence re-up! (I hope)

I think Lana obviously comes from a family that’s generally well off. I also think her years of drugs and alcohol kind of estranged her from them (she said she hadn’t spoken to her father in years at the time video games came out). She was very clearly a troubled young woman who was basically shipped off to boarding school and then started “living like Jim Morrison.” She was being a rebel wild child out across America and wasn’t close with her parents lol. She thought she was a rockstar and was doing her own thing. It’s possible she was even “cut off” for a time. She still to this day doesn’t even acknowledge her own mother lol. So her parents are in fact wealthy, but that doesn’t mean they were funding her entire life.

pretty sure a couple days after you said that last time she posted the BB pic maybe she’ll post again this weekend
