Ultra Violet

Definitely The Last Shadow Puppet collabs. And she knows she could have released an "Unreleased Tracks" album and it would have been her second or third most-streamed album. But i wish there was a specifix focus on BTD outtakes as they are pretty consistent in themes and production too.

"Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tells soldiers they will fight "until the end" regardless of international support." "I say this in the face of great pain but also in the face of international pressures. Nothing will stop us".

Another non-binding vote: Only to support more pauses in Israel's killings. The way they're terming it a "sustainable ceasefire". They literally put the word sustainable anywhere just to make the public more complacent.

Omg Legend!!!! Thank you so much

So if she's left Capitol, does that really mean Masochism is gone? If that's the case, I think unless she teams up with a great producer very very soon who really supports her and challenges her, her music career is officially over.

They can all relate to losing people and it's heartbreaking, every one of those stories at the beginning. But it really gets to me when the Israeli advocates jump in and claim the Palestinian advocates are lying about many Palestinians going to jail without trial, that the western media is pro-Israel. One even saying America doesn't support Israel And then the guy who said children throwing rocks are terrorists too... thats not what any white folk in western countries get labelled as, let alone children . Idk, this video really just shows me the different media that these Israeli advocates are fed compared to the plenty of verified information they don't seem to have any idea about + Biden literally speaking and supporting Israel with his words and America's money Edit: I want to say that I think the general Israel population is being lied to by their government and the IDF with a very specific narrative. It's still up to every individual to look further than what theyre being told, just like everyone else in the world needs to. But especially when their own nation is responsible for how Palestinians have been living. The ones who already label children as terrorists are probably too far gone tho.

Yeah, I don't really agree with the veto power in general either, but I'd get it if it could still be overridden by the majority of veto power countries. Just one country alone is a terrible system.

As expected, the US blocked the vote for a permanent ceasefire. All other 13 countries with veto power voted FOR a permanent ceasefire, except Britain who abstained. 17,480 people have killed in Gaza.

Someone shared this a while ago and it sold me Also, amazing. The only good Ride remix And this is so embarassing but this is the remix that made me start liking OTTR

I'm just remembering some weird interaction I had online years ago (probably 2016). I posted my spotify top artists and both FKA and BANKS were on there. Some random guy who followed me started trashing me for having FKA Twigs in a higher spot than BANKs because "FKA is trash. BANKs did dark RnB first" Wild. I've listened to them both since 2014, and genuinely never related them as being in the same genre, or at least close enough to compare to eachother. I think they tend to have some of the same listeners, but they're so different.

"The majority of these resolutions were drafted to provide a framework for peace in the decades-long Israel-Palestine conflict, including asking Israel to adhere to international laws, calling for self-determination for Palestinian statehood, or condemning Israel for the displacement of Palestinians or settlement building in occupied Palestinian territories." https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/10/26/how-the-us-has-used-its-veto-power-at-the-un-in-support-of-israel Does anyone else know much about the UNs veto power and how it all works? Just started to look into it and wow I'm just appalled. Some people in this thread have already mentioned how useless the UN is, and it's in times like this that we really see it.

Arab nations call for Friday vote on UN resolution demanding ceasefire in Gaza "Arab and Islamic nations are calling for a vote on Friday on a draft UN Security Council resolution demanding a humanitarian ceasefire in Gaza. The proposed resolution is a response to a letter UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres sent the council on Thursday warning of an impending "humanitarian catastrophe" in Gaza and urging its 15 members to deliver a humanitarian ceasefire. The United States, Israel's closest ally, has not supported a ceasefire and has veto power in the Security Council." So nothing will ever happen until the US decides a ceasefire is necessary. The permanent countries with veto power are China, Russia, France, the US and the UK. The UK will clearly do whatever the US does, but China, Russia and France all voted yes for a ceasefire previously. This year the other 10 non-permanent countries with veto power are Albania, Brazil, Ecuador, Gabon, Ghana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Switzerland, United Arab Emirates. Next year it will be Algeria, Ecuador, Guyana, Japan, Malta, Mozambique, Republic of Korea, Sierra Leone, Slovenia, Switzerland. Not sure how much that would change anything since the US clearly holds the final decision regarding Israel. For example: "The US has used its veto power at least 34 times to block UN Security Council resolutions that were critical of Israel."

Is This Happiness has amazing lyrics. A repetitive chorus doesn't even matter when the verses and bridge are like that.

Big Bad Wolf (demo version, the one that's 3:44). I've always loved this one, and I only just now realised it matches Dragonslayer as another Lana "fairytale" song.

She'd tell me to "go find your people" and I'd say "I have, but it's just other lonely people online"

I made a playlist of Lana's covers in order, and I've realised it's the perfect way to listen to hear how talented she is throughout her career without selecting songs with bias from her released discography.

Kinda agree, I'd like it better as a solo song, but what really ruined the song was Lana's stupid "singing with Sean" lyric

I think Lana made some weird decisions with collabs on Lust for Life. I mean, theyre all fine songs in the end, but it all could have been put together better. I wish Father John Misty could have been on there. He would have managed to make a political song better, and less "only of that specific time". The Weeknd also could have added way more to the album if he got to use his vocals better, like with an In My Feelings type of song. And also, I think Groupie Love is really underrated. A$AP is the only collaborating artist on LFL that I don't listen to solo, yet I like his collabs on the album the most.

I have had no interest in her performances since 2016. I want material releases girl. I'll move when i hear there's a release of a well-recorded live version that's good enough to be studio.

Melanie's random Pity Party playlist on Spotify features High By The Beach and God Knows I Tried. https://open.spotify.com/playlist/26C66A9K9C9dqtL82XRnhU?si=J5Gg-x3iRoy8wkVvqxHrgg&pi=a-HXdGuE2HTJKT "This is the playlist my character Cry Baby would play at her party" Um that's cute. I want more.

Not many new albums caught my eye this year but some that did: Yuele - soft scars Ocean Blvd of course Melanie martinez - PORTALS Slayyyter - STARFUCKER Pearly Drops - A Little Disaster Poppy - Zig All great albums but I'm afraid the replay value hasn't been super high for me, so none of them make it into my favourite albums category.

https://www.numbervisualizer.com/ Helpful to get a grasp of how many people have actually been killed. And not forget that these are not just numbers to tally up and forget about, they are real people that have died and won't be coming back, that have left behind families, or in many cases, actually had their whole families eradicated with them. You can even change the icon from "dots" to "people". I dare Israel supporters to go to this link, type in 15523 and convince themselves while scrolling down the page that attacking a city and killing this many civilians is okay because "self defence". I also dare Israel supporters to type 6387 and convince themselves that killing this many innocent children and babies is okay. If eradicating Hamas is so important to you, why are innocent lives less important to you? "People are being killed in Gaza more quickly, they say, than in even the deadliest moments of U.S.-led attacks in Iraq, Syria and Afghanistan, which were themselves widely criticized by human rights groups."

Oh I quickly had to unlike this. There is no worst song on her most heavenly album.

Thats exactly how it looked in the video she posted, but what will be posted on the website looks a bit better. Still plastic though, im guessing? The lighting in that video was awful and made everything look dull and not shiny. Still eghh tho. Like is the gold bottom of the vials actually full of the perfume? Or is it just a space filler? It also could have been cute if the box was a mushroom or something. It would have felt like something truly out of the Portals world, not just the novelty alien head that gives mascot vibes.
