i'd love if she did a covers record someday
 
also maybe she can work more covers into her repertoire touring, and not only do hsb/kohd 

r we gonna pretend she didn't shoot summertime sadness on her iphone w the 8mm app doe 

boarding school - i'm in the back, doin' crack, drinkin' diet pepsi
motel 6 - you can buy me diet mtn dew & we'll get right down to it, me and you?

i feel like this song was lifted from the answering machine of a lover who scorned her that she called semi-wasted and decided to sing the lyrics she had been scribbling on a napkin to into the phone idk, it's one of my faves

am i the only person who hears a man's voice saying "you're a whore" right when i press play on this?

love her, love a lot of her new style choices, cbt was an amazing pop album... but this song is the disappointment of the yr for me

those 3 make the most sense to be on the album, altho i wouldn't be surprised if they gave eie bonus track treatment or something. i just don't know why i can't see it being part of the main tracklist being so diff from what she's promising sonically.
 
she doesn't seem very behind red lips anymore, i think she got really discouraged by how many people shrugged it off as garbage-lite. and lost in my bedroom is totally out of sync with ariel/jon's production.

dev hynes
hit boy
pharrell
 
idk

it's not out until the 19th here, but i will be seeing it opening day for sure

from every database i know of that lists songs she's written i've got a list of exactly 10 songs co-written with ariel or blake
 
everything is embarrassing
sad dream
ghost
lost in my bedroom
pretty dull
24 hours
love in stereo
ain't your right
i can't say no to myself
home sweet home
 
then, of course, there's you're not the one which as the first single will obv be on the album, bringing us to 11
 
if i had to guess, she won't put ghost on the album bc it's had the least overall impact of the songs on the ep (red lips i'm not even factoring in bc she's made it abundantly clear that even if at one point that was the direction she was considering, it bares no sonic resemblance to the album). eie is her money song if she's ever had one, lost in my bedroom was early on cited as indicative of at least 50% of the album, and sad dream means a ton to her and has been cited as indicative of the other 50%.

y'all need to relax, we've waited this long a month more won't kill anybody
 
she's shooting the new video july 1-2 with grant so the single is coming. she's discussed the photoshoot for the packaging and as stated above, the album's been sequenced and finalized. i don't agree with the "true stan!!!1" nonsense that was happening a few posts before me but imo, hoping for a leak by her or by anyone else bc you're impatient is ridic... think how impatient sky must feel, this is afterall her chosen career and her main passion in life. she wants the album out even more than any of us do.

I hope it's clear to everyone that it is not Sky's fault that the album has been pushed back. Basically nothing that has affected Sky's career negatively was her fault. Her album that would come out in January 2011 was pushed back because of leaks and she had to re-record a lot of stuff if she wanted to release them.
 
She posted a picture of the final album already, she is no longer recording anything. The songs she want there are already done. She's performing basically all the new songs in a few days. It's the label's fault that I Will hasn't been announced yet, and it's also their fault that "You're Not the One" is yet to be released. She doesn't postpone things to "piss her fans off."
 
As a long-time fan, I am already used to these push-backs because I understand that things are not easy for Sky. She worked very hard to come up with a team that really cares about her work and she's said some times that she has total control over the new record, so I am sure that it will be worth it (whenever) it comes out.

very excited for the wolf of wall street. the trailer is fantastic and i will continue to be flabbergasted by those who dismiss leo as one of the greatest talents of his generation. i've rewatched it several times in the past hour tbh.

some news, anyone going to check out "the bling ring" in theaters - the trailer for "the spectacular now" is attached, according to people on twitter! a24 rocking it 
 
also, "the canyons" was accepted into venice film festival! can't wait for the response
 
also, relating to zoe's post - anyone else here see "the purge"? - I want to hear some more thoughts on the film!

last night i had the INCREDIBLE fortune to be in attendance at the bling ring's new york premiere at the paris theatre. my university's program board secured a limited amount of passes for seat fillers and a friend and i were lucky enough to jump on them fast enough. i got to the area where the theatre is located way early, so i sort of just roamed around (with an injured foot, wearing loafers as part of the semi-formal dress code, no less) to kill time. a lot of premieres apparently take place at the paris, but i thought it was especially fitting that the bling ring was about to premiere there bc it's across from the plaza hotel and just round the corner from bergdorf goodman, chanel, etc. (  )
 
finally at around 5 pm i got in line and i was glad i did because suddenly tons of other students/people who attained seat filling passes elsewhere showed up. my friend met me and we waited until about quarter to 7 before they let us in! unfortunately we didn't see any red carpet action outside, and bc the la premiere had just happened days ago we kind of figured at the most maybe sofia would show up but we didn't hold our breath for emma et al. 
 
inside the theatre they played the soundtrack (which i think was perfect onscreen tbh) in its entirety. i was getting so excited and anxious, the film was supposed to begin at 7:30 but it wasn't until closer to 8 that a man walked up to the front of the theater, feet away from my right, to speak. IT WAS THEN THAT HE WELCOMED AND ASKED THE AUDIENCE TO JOIN HIM IN CONGRATULATING WRITER/DIRECTOR OF THE BLING RING SOFIA COPPOLA!!!   everyone went crazy but turning around i couldn't see her. suddenly she shouted "i'm trying to make my way!" or something bc people were standing in the aisle lol. she walked down looking beautiful and at first it didn't register but i soon realized that filing behind her were the leads of the film! claire, katie, emma, taissa, and israel all stood beside her as she briefly introduced the film. i think at this point i momentarily died.
 
they then filed back (i'm not sure if they stayed or not tbh) and the film began. i don't want to give anything away, though seeing as it is based on true events i guess spoilers aren't as big a concern, but i WILL say that i thought sofia and everyone involved in this film did a fantastic job. i think it will definitely stand as sofia's most accessible work (though personally i feel if given the chance her work isn't at malick levels of ~*~challenging~*~) but i was still very aware i was watching a sofia coppola joint in all the best ways possible. there are nuances and subtle moments in this film that i think really drive the ideas sofia wanted to put in the audience's mind home. the cinematography was beautiful, the acting was on point (emma slays in this, and for those doubting her accent in the trailer she successfully made me forget she's a british actress) and ugh... i just loved it. i can't wait to see it again when it's released.
 
on a final note, bc i think not knowing what elements of pretty wild were going to be used outside of the stuff seen in clips/trailers added to the joy of the experience, i will say this: fans of the show will NOT be disappointed. 
 
i apologize if this sounds unprofessional/rambly but tbh i don't have the focus rn to do a proper review (i'm extremely sick and the fact that i was able to attend last night is nothing short of a miracle) and i'm still reeling from the experience, but wanted to share it with my fellow film enthusiasts ^_^ can't wait till y'all see it and we can discuss it together!
