    If she tours for this album, do you think she’ll bring her background singers w her?? I figured it might help her feel more comfortable if they serve as a distraction same as her dancers. But the mixing at her live shows is utterly HORRENDOUS. I’d be worried we wouldn’t be able to hear Lana over them

    i cannot imagine blue banisters and chemtrails combined as one album, they’re polar opposites for me in my opinion  where chemtrails is light and airy and sunny and pastel, BB is dark and heavy and humid and stormy. i feel like what makes these albums work on their own is their cohesion—if you take that away, they don’t have much else going for them. even if you took the best songs from both and put them together, i think the messiness of it would actually result in a worse album than either of them are right now

    just because a song isn't marked explicit doesn't mean it's not explicit

    Not to be a broken record but these ads  I don’t mind the ones that show up between page loads, but the ones that pop up from the top or bottom of the screen are awful. Especially because when you close them they don’t fully go away (as if I’d ever want to reopen an ad that I closed ) and it covers what I’m trying to read. I don’t use Adblock bc I want the site to make money but damn djdgdgsgsh they’re really starting to get on my nerves lol

    At least now I only see the ones that pop up like a banner in the top of the screen... there was a period that it appeared on both sides (top and bottom) and I couldn't see half of the screen (specially when typing)

    A tasteful not too emo looking dark theme would be amazing. maybe theme it to UV, or from the BTD video w a rich wooden brown/ slate gray to white/ light colored text

    innit i was in favour of the pop up ads and thought ppl were being over dramatic about them but it’s definitely too much now . and before weirdos say ‘Adblock’ i won’t use ad block bc literally all porn sites have an Adblock block on them nowadays so wats the point

    Thank you kindly. I appreciate your saying so. I have older siblings who listen to a lot of 70s music, and so I became acquainted with Carly Simon's work from all periods, and while she's always been dismissed by the critics as 'coming from a NYC upper middle family who bought her a career, who writes about the middle class'--does some of that sound familiar?--it's true her father was the Simon of 'Simon & Shuster'--but I consider her a genuine artist, though she did, later in her career (much of which is still brilliant) churn out some would-be hits that were clearly just concoctions.
     
    Look at Blondie--they've written songs about aliens (twice), 'the Palestinian/Israeli' conflict, the Beatles, an interstellar space race, bank robberies, suicidal young lovers, hoboes, juvenile delinquents, ESP, gay mafia members, 'sex offenders,' etc.--nothing is off the table in terms of subject or theme for them. 
     
    And the same is true of Kate Bush, who shared several subjects with Blondie and wrote about secret government sound experiments, bank robberies, inter-country theft in Europe, Houdini, ghosts and hauntings, Aboriginal bush traditions and myths, spreading her mother's ashes, suicide, an act of incest leading to pregnancy (and then suicide), 'making deals with God,' budding psychopaths being sheltered by their mothers, Wilhelm Reich, drowning witches, the earth being destroyed by an asteroid as the planet waits and watches and the seas rise, etc.  
     
    So any subject is worthy and 'on the table.' Nothing should be off limits. Bush even wrote 'The Infant Kiss,' suggested by the 1962 film, 'The Innocents,' about two young children possessed--or not possessed--by ghosts (is it only in the governess's mind?), and Bush sings about a young boy kissing her romantically and her initial attraction and then her comprehension of what was taking place and her rejection of the act.  
     
    So I don't care what Lana sings about, theoretically, which is why I love 'Live or Die' in the original--to me it's one of the great songs of all time, at least in the rock tradition, as Lana, or the narrator/speaker/singer, a cheerleader of death and carnage, cheers while slaughtering people randomly--to me, it's a brilliant look into a psychopathic mind, and a female one. In the past, she steps into other skins a lot more frequently than she does now.
     
    So 'OB' could bring us anything and hopefully does. It seems like Lana's wheelhouse is emotions, relationships, feelings, disappointment, frustration, longing, etc., but there was a time when people thought that that was all that Kate Bush could sing about too.
