    I mean you can always cancel a preorder if it turns up in the US store, you don't know how limited this white one is.
     
    I bet it's more of a pearlized color instead of just boring white

    an actual mess on behalf of her label...
     
    The album will have only been out for 3 months and it was being sold for $5 not even a month after it was released. Unless she has a serious hit in the next week this would be completely pointless imo

    Seeing as the album is being released in France tomorrow, we should have So Over You and Red Balloon in about 6 hours

    Since you asked, @@SitarHero.
     
    The reason I got tired of Marina was a mix of things. Part of it was (I think in retrospect) that I associated her music with a very specific time of my adolescence, and as I grew up and wanted to distance myself from the person I was at that point. So, as I remember @@PrettyBaby mentioning a long time ago, cognitive dissonance is indeed a dear, dear friend of mine. Another part of that is that Marina's music from the first two albums seems to cater (at least in the circles i'm in) to a demographic i do not want to be associated with. And I don't think that I realized that at the time, but whenever I meet someone who says they listen to Marina these days, chances are they fit a certain stereotype. 
     
    Marina (at least, on her first two albums - i have not listened to the new stuff, and though i think i will eventually, i'm not going to speak for music i haven't heard) and now Charli both seem to me to make music that will one day sound like period pieces. this is true for plenty of songs that make it onto the radio - it's as if they sacrifice their ability to transcend petty trends or fads in order to reach a broader audience. And it's true that time alone can test the longevity of music like theirs - we'll know if it's made it if in twenty years people still refer to theses albums as works of art truly valuable. 
     
    i know this is a hard claim to qualify - and i don't usually think about it in these terms. i have realized, though, that as a teenager, i go through all kinds of phases. Like Lorde talked about in her debut liner notes, being my age usually means that we change our stances on things very strongly. we love something, and then we hate it; we really care about something or someone, and in a short time might loathe the same person or thing with a burning passion. and i hope that someday i won't be like that - i think that'll come with being an adult. but one way i have tried to combat this is by listening to music that has already entered a canon of acclaim. Which is fitting, for there was a time when all the music I listened to came out within a three-or-so year window. The beauty of the internet, though, is that it allows us to tap into the knowledge of our past clearer than anything before, and gives us the chance to find out about what was en vogue a decade ago with a few clicks of a button. 
     
    TL;DR: I don't really know. I'm tired, decided to log on and answer this question, and end up ranting about the digital age and the concept of canonization. 
     
    Love y'all.

    tf kind of rampant sexual objectification is that OP, so creepy
     
    Literally one sentence is about their music and the rest is about their physical appearance

    She needs to forego working with people she's comfortable with because as much as people want another BTD, she'll never personally be able to make another BTD

    Waiting to buy tix until the full tour begins, since the closest show is like 3 hours away. HOWEVER, Idolator emailed me today and I'm one of the winners of their contest to win signed fake Froot from Marina!!

    I really wonder if she's going to ditch EH tracks from her setlist, I could see her doing all of Froot and the singles from TFJ. Maaaaaaaybe Primadonna

    When I saw her I shouted out "BUY THE STARS" and she looked like she had never heard of it before
