I definitely agree with you on this, I just had a really visceral reaction when I heard about the Rolling Stone cover/feature. 

I don't really care about the cover and I take no offense to it. I just strongly believe that were he Arab, the likelihood of an article presumably written with the stance of "misunderstood", "is it really their fault when society/environment made them do this", or even "grappling with mental illness" or any other variant or shoddy attempt to "understand" under the guise of humanizing someone for the explicit reason of them being white would be dramatically lower. ~What went wrong with this bright young man with a great future ahead of him??~

This is one instance I think him being Muslim takes a backseat -- were he Palestinian and of the same complexion (as many Palestinians are) -- instead of a European Muslim, I don't think he'd be treated to the same attempts to ~understand him~. Let's be real, I'd be willing to bet the vast majority of Americans know jackshit about Chechnya, let alone it exists and is largely Muslim. (I use Palestine to compare as I think of the Chechens as the Palestinians of Europe, for obvious reasons). The fact he is European, and from an area that people are uneducated about is enough to override his being Muslim, IMO. Americans don't think Chechnya and then "MUSLIM", the way that one might do with a Palestinian. Most don't even know of it's existence! (Americans are poorly educated in world affairs and conflicts, besides, any education is skewed and biased in favour of ~American exceptionalism~.)  For this reason I would argue that he's not primarily seen as "Muslim" and so it is not as large a piece of puzzle portrayed in the media as it potentially could be. He's just another white European that happens to be Muslim, instead of a MUSLIM, if that makes any sense.
 
Anyway, my apologies for detracting from the discussion of the cover and it was not my intent to oversimplify this into a race issue. I only meant to point out another facet of a complex issue.
 

honestly, idk y u guys are acting like adele NEEDS to copy anyone~ how many grammys does lana have? does lana have an oscar? ummm remember when adele  dominated US pop charts despite her music being.. well, not pop? how many times did Born to Die go platinum?? ~yeah thought so~ 
 
and maybe i'm dumb, but I totally put lana and adele in the same musical category~ even if adele's music isn't necessarily my slice of pie, it's similar in sound~ u might even say adele's music is ~sadcore~

Fuck you. Seriously. 

I've just posted this on my tumblr, I'm finding it hard to say it in the right way, so I'm just going to copy it from there:

That's really not fair. Addiction is a horrible thing to go through. It's not just doing drugs for fun, it's a disease. Cory had been struggling with addiction since he was 13 and he even checked himself into rehab a couple of months ago. Just because he may have overdosed does not change the fact that he's dead now. Like I said, addiction is a DISEASE. You'd probably have sympathy for someone who died from cancer or AIDS or alzheimers, so why not people struggling with addiction?

Well, the Trash Magic option is to use this cover and call it "White Pontiac Heaven":
 
 
 
 
But the font looks a little too spot-on next to the Daddy Issues cover because it's the very next volume. Like either they should all be that font or only one. So I'm kinda of between covers. cartooneyes made this Daytona Meth cover, which is another nice name:
 
 
 
 
Or a good ol' webcam pic which is v "Noir":
 

 
Characterisitic title options: Champagne Sighs, Snowflake Ice Queen, Velvet Elvis, Sloe Gin Fizz...
 
 
I post all these options because tbh I'm undecided.

Tbh I made it expecting more a cappellas to leak, but it's good to have and if my Lizzy playlist gets too long I can make this a "laptop demo" album and put acoustic stuff in, too (Elvis, ARH, YGLM, 1949--rather than produced acoustic songs like Money Hunny etc.).

ooooh, i see lol! pardon me then! but no, i'm like you too. when i change my itunes lana songs i'm like 'wwsd' (what would sitar do)(: 

Ooops, I can see how that could be misconstrued for sarcasm...   I was being serious, I use Sitar's playlists too and am actually helpless without him, I was poking fun at myself for not being able to add a song or make any changes without consulting him first 

#42 iTunes! Looks like it's bound to crack the top 40 really soon

Nerdy, you say....?  Thank you!! 
 
Thank you so much, I'll definitely be needing you for some German interviews, and I'm glad you like the tiny heads!! 
 
Thank you! You found a lot of older interviews :3 
 
 
Thanks Quentin! (And congrats on your baby girl and new album, Kanye :3) 
 
 
Thank you so much to everyone that's volunteered! It'll make my life a lot easier. You are all incredibly cool 
 
It'll be anywhere from a couple of days to a week before I contact any of you to do anything -- I'm currently working on tying up the existing loose ends (2011 interviews) so that you guys aren't brought in on a project that's such a mess! 
 
You guys have all made me really happy! Thanks again! 
 
I hope no one is put off by all of the tiny Jay-Z heads in this post 
 
For anyone that is, I'm sincerely sorry
 
 
 
 
 

I wonder how long this thread is gonna get before it's finally released...
