I just need some motherfucking drums, audible guitar, and Buddy’s Rendezvous vocals. Thank you.

you guys will gag over everything she does 5 minutes after it’s dropped and then a week later call her a fad and that she’s not the artist she used to be… I’m just gonna eat my popcorn and carry on streaming

The median voter, the ones who decide elections, do not give a flying fuck about LGBTQ+ issues. These are the fringest of fringe issues. I've said it before, and @cheaptrailertrashglm is echoing it again, this election came down to if the middle class felt that they were better off today than they were 5 years ago under Trump. The answer was a resounding "no." 75 million people did not show up and vote for Trump because they care about trans women in sports. 70 million people did not show up and vote for Harris because she will continue to allow gender affirming surgery for prison inmates. The Democrats (the establishment ones--not Bernie and AOC's flank) need to realize that they do not have a winning coalition without white, middle class workers. What the conservative talking points on LGBTQ+/trans issues did help the Republicans with is that it solidified their message of being "the common-sense party." Even though our small, left-leaning LB community may not agree with that, the majority of the US thinks that spending time and money on LGBTQ+ issues is a waste, and nothing but "wokeism". The next generation of Democrats needs to realize that they need to simplify their messaging. They cannot be everything to everyone. They cannot be pro-fracking in PA, and in the same breath also be the party that believes in climate change. They cannot be the party of economic growth, but also implement carbon taxes. They cannot promise to be the outsiders who will go against the elites, and then bring out Lady Gaga and Beyoncé to campaign stops. The Democrats need to position themselves in the next election as "common sense outsiders," promising to make the economy better for everyone. Kamala Harris's "Opportunity Economy" was just a remarketing of the "American Dream" ideal that everyone can and wants to be an entrepreneur. That dream is dead, and most Americans don't want an "opportunity economy", they just want an economy where they can work 40 hours a week and not feel like they're still coming up short. After they are elected, they can devote some time, quietly, to expanding LGBTQ+ rights, access to abortion, and other socially progressive agenda items--but they cannot run on it. (They also need a way to build a non-traditional media apparatus, because the venn diagram of people who read/watch traditional news and vote blue is becoming a circle, but that's a different conversation.) If 2028's Presidential nominee does not win, the Democratic Party will be dead for the next decade.

It’s giving fanfiction vibes for god’s sake oof

I don’t think it’s a bad thing she’s taking time and re-tooling. It’s kind of a different project than her previous records due to the fact that she’s been working on the music for the last four years… all while still dropping other albums. Plus, she just got married. Maybe she wants to work towards something that reflects her current headspace. I’m considering this next album a bit of a refresher on her persona after going deep and revealing so much personal info in the last 3 albums. Praying for a fresh new vision and something fun to bop to

Trump’s core base maxes out at ~50-60 million. It’s these 4-5 million swing voters (the ones who voted for Obama and Biden and now voted Trump; and who voted Trump for President but for “small” Democrats down ballot) that decide elections, and they vote with their wallets and what directly impacts them.

Violet Bent Backwards Over The Grass vs Frankenstein

If you weren't here in late October, Lana said that she thinks that the songs from Lasso are still "half-cooked" and in the Vogue interview she also said (again) that the album is heading towards Southern Gothic. But nothing has happened in November, so far.

Hearing Vroom Vroom in an actual live setting was bonkers. I didn’t expect how crazy that song would sound through a huge sound system. Like, you haven’t LIVEDDDD…… until you’ve seen Vroom Vroom live, in the flesh

I don’t think anyone in the last few pages of this thread is defending Trump as an individual—but refusing to understand the legitimate reasons the majority of US voters voted for Trumpism, and turning this thread into a bunch of “everyone who voted for Trump is a moron” posts is boring. I find the last few pages of discussion interesting and stimulating, and I don’t see a lot of radicalism or off-base comments.

the replies defending trump is…something.

Socialism can never work in the United States. It’s too big.

No i havent. I’m way too busy to watch anything (probably like most people). The only time I even get on the internet is if I have spare time and don’t feel like reading. Most people I know are working 2 jobs or working full time + doing school work (like I am) so I doubt they did either.

I haven’t met a single person, outside of online platforms, who cared this much about lgbt stuff. People who I know who voted for him it was based on the economy and how poorly Biden acted as president. also Kamala wasn’t very popular either. We all know the politicians have been pandering to the online population rather than every day Americans who are working their asses off to survive and don’t have time for online discourse. This is where they missed the mark. I don’t think we will agree on anything tho because reading your responses in most threads you sound like you spend a lot of time in online discourse rather than talking to your fellow coworkers (or something). I don’t mean this as a bad thing but for people, like me, who have families, we aren’t worried about men in women’s sports. I didnt vote for Trump simply for his stance on the climate, but I could 100% see why an everyday American, around my age, would vote for republicans. America’s gone to shit with dems in office and like I said before, PEOPLE ARE TIRED. They don’t care about lgbt shit when they’re trying to feed their families Literally will take the weirdo anti vaxxer if it means I don’t have to worry so much about what is in mine or my kid’s food.

If COVID hadn't happened, my own life would be much better, because I lost a great job here in NYC, which was devastated by the pandemic in 100 ways. And the wolf was right at my door: though there are only 9 apartments on my floor, two men in other apartments died of COVID, and an older friend whom I had known also died of it, very suddenly. COVID destroyed so much and so many. The government's fumbling and junk science didn't help. BUT if there was no COVID, we wouldn't have Violets For Roses, one of my all-time favorite Lana tracks. And Black Bathing Suit might not exist either, or might in a different form. I'm glad Lana responded to COVID in her own way and didn't ignore it.

I just saw The Substance kdjkfskfas that was somehow even crazier than I thought it was gonna be.......... tew good

When Lasso becomes Tropico 2.0

Was it widely known during the Ultraviolence era that Lana was having creative differences with producers, or did that come out later? The original concept was supposedly more stripped-back and acoustic until Dan Auerbach stepped in at the last minute. Feels like something similar is happening now—Lasso isn’t necessarily scrapped but seems to be undergoing a complete sonic overhaul.

She did the same thing for Applause & GUY get a grip

if this is the end... i want a boyfriend

i know you are not talking about Dayzeaze

This version has something in it. The part where she sings "he got a way oh baby he got a way oh baby" is just addictive, beautiful unique and heaven-sent

I noticed that the Instagram account of Electric Lady Studios (the studio where Lana records her stuff with Jack) liked the post about the Vogue article part which said that Lasso is going to be Southern Gothic. And it's also the same post where Lana commented that "it was a mistranslation" lol. But the studio liking that, might indicate that it's indeed Southern Gothic, I don't know...

or I think she chose them just because she wanted to name artists with no. 1 songs but I understand both sides, i.e. why the media criticized Lana in particular, but also why she felt disadvantaged

She has, her song Wildflower Wildfire from Blue Banisters is produced by him x
