    I forgot to post this ages ago but

    is the Houdini Extended Edit not mixed/mastered? It sounds so different from the normal song in a way I dont quite know how to describe. Its like all the sounds are on one layer?

    It's a completely different mix. I'm pretty sure Kevin oversaw the extended versions and Danny was around to edit the tracks down and make them glossier pop. The extended versions sound more like a Tame Impala record in the mixing.


  2. I could see her dropping an edition of the album on streaming with all the bonus tracks on it the next day (like 3AM) or the following week to stabilize streams

    OMG NO WAY we just got another album's worth of material with FN outtakes :shock2: 

    all 10 + Choose You Again and Worst Enemy are really good! I wonder if that's finally it from the FN sessions or is there even more :defeated: 

    Still more. No I don't have any of them, I just know there's a bunch of snippets of songs that have yet to leak.


  4. As much as I'd love a retake of Slayyyter for production purposes, I think she's focused on building on it. I feel like she's going to be doing a lot in 2024 and she can't look back now.


  5. Wait wasn't Live to Tell going to be on a covers EP like 5 years ago? I'm surprised it hasn't been leaked already and I'll be just as surprised if she actually drops it.


  6. I listened to her constantly from 2011-2019. I'd bring her up to anyone who would listen to me.

     

    I remember playing BTD all the time in my dorm room and people would stop by and ask who it was.

    I remember that insane summer 2013 leakfest where every morning was just more and more leaks including my fave Hawaiian Tropic.

    I remember how chaotic it was getting tix to the Paradise Tour in Atlanta (her first ever show there) and going by myself. The audience was a nightmare but she was magnificent.

    I remember sitting in the press compound at Bonnaroo in 2014 when UV leaked and using the shitty ass WiFi in the press trailer to download it and I loved it to pieces.

    I remember going to the Endless Summer Tour with my then-boyfriend. I met another LB user there who gave me a physical copy she made of AKA that I still have.

    I remember running to the Target by my apartment to buy the Honeymoon CD on release day in my last semester of college and thinking about how dreamy it was.

    I remember just being absolutely feral for LFL and it was all I played that summer when I visited the same-boyfriend at the beach where his internship was.

    I remember being obsessed with the NFR cover and loving every song even though -- at the time -- people on here were annoyed as fuck with all the snippets pre-release.

     

    Then I really don't know what happened, COVID maybe? A bunch of other artists competing for my attention?

     

    I'm still here though it's mostly for other genre discussion because the pre-release period and shitposts are just a lot for this 29-year-old.

    I still listen to her occasionally. I will always buy her new albums, buy tickets to see her, buy merch, be interested in everything about the era from covers and interviews and photoshoots. Post-COTCC it's just been harder to get into the full albums and remember all the lyrics, the music doesn't capture me as much as it used to but when I sit there and force myself to listen to it, I love it. I still keep track of every single leak.

     

    I don't know. Maybe I'm waiting for a huge switch-up moment again like NFR was when it effectively distilled everything from the first few albums into one. Maybe I hated Blue Banisters so much I just started mentally checking out dd.


  7. It's a vocal nebulizer, so many artists use them before and after singing. It makes it easier by reducing the effort needed to move the vocal folds and can also remove mucus/stop nasal drip. Basically any artist who cares about their voice should be using one.

    Deluxe? thanks but no, thanks, it really feels unnecessary 

    This era could've been bigger and wayy better...

    it feels already over to me, maybe the long ass touring and the leaks ruined it for me.

    but we can not say that she didn't try

    1. All 3 tracks are great and on par with the standard version.

    2. Blame her label for being fucking cheap because she almost certainly had bigger ideas.

    3. The tour was 2.5 weeks long like huh?? Also, don't listen to leaks next time then.

    4. Again, it's not her fault.

    Based on her twitter, it seems like one of her criteria for including tracks in the deluxe is whether they leaked or not.

    We knew that though


  10. It's crazy to think about how she basically squandered away almost the entirety of her 20s -- a time when most artists are working their hardest to make it and have the best chance at launching a long career/established at radio/taking on side projects -- with only one album to show for it.

    The other TVs will be out next year. 

    We'll see. I don't see her doing TS11, Reputation, self-titled and live tour audio all in the same year.


  12. I believe she's working on a new album but releasing it Oct. 2024 would be a strange choice because she likely wouldn't be able to tour for it unless they extend Eras throughout 2025 and finish up the rerecordings then too. It's exhausting to think about her pretty much touring all 2024 and possibly adding on ANOTHER year. The gross and amount of shows would be insane.
