Trash Magic

Yeah she knows exactly what she’s doing. She only cares about making music for herself that she thinks is beautiful and we know from the entirety of Chemtrails that she doesn’t care about fame or playing the ‘game’ so she is just fucking with everyone when it comes to everything else but the music.

I was 20% joking but I think it’s honestly very brave and I love her steadfastness (which she lacks when committing to dates lol) and people making alternate covers it’s like... okay. They are obviously easier to digest but they are so so boring and unremarkable. I love polarising stuff and things that are provocative and Lana just gets more provocative with every release... this is how she is “making her life an art” It’s true

The fact nobody makes this much noise because their album artwork is actually good... she’s incredibly intelligent and we should be having that conversation. the way she is using her fame and position of power to toy with and openly mock and deconstruct the laser-focus labels and artists themselves use to construct their own image in order to be as marketable as possible... dismantling the Instagram image-focussed paradigm one single/album cover at a time. Who else is doing that? ?

It’s giving me metal wall poster in the clearance section at a Florida gift shop

We seriously need to find Hollister's 2004-05 North American catalogues

Have been thinking how her mispronunciation of Arkansas in Tulsa Jesus Freak reaffirms she is saying Aberdeen here

I always replay Dance Till We Die but I'm hooked on white dress and title track now So good

This is highkey like owning the magna carta... The fact a 16 year old issue of a defunct magazine was available is a miracle. "I was only nineteen..." Show some love to the IG post please and take @erikanderslang if you want. He's very active on IG stories and it would be cool to get a reaction from him on this https://www.instagram.com/p/COLV247lnZ3/ And I've never understood how to embed instagram posts on here

Foreshadowed Doin Time cover yeah...

Just had a revelation that the guitar in this live arrangement for Raise Me Up is basically Out With A Bang instrumental

The 5 things that were the most exciting to me were - Paradise Edition cover reveal - Paradise Edition trailer - Addressing Meet Me In The Pale Moonlight leak + announcing West Coast in same tweet - West Coast single cover reveal + website update - Dan Auerbach pic + Ultraviolence announcement tweet (We fucking need more pics from this / at least the pic in HQ)

Regardless of my thoughts on the album (very bad) hopefully this sparks some creative upheaval in her. Pretty weird to see her break fourth wall and acknowledge her music in a sincere way. Early tracks pre-The Fame are still so fucking good and aged better than a lot of released tracks. Rock Show, Oh Well, Let Love Down etc. will always have a place in my heart. I found on the writing on Chromatica really strong actually I just can't tolerate the fake theatrical voice she slips into a lot. These have been stuck in my head out of nowhere lately

Revisiting True Romance I forgot how much I used to play this at the time and how well I remember the songs after not listening for years. ??? Pretty ahead of its time

Royal Family Survivor Prince Philip 1 -1

This was more eyebrow raising to me than Question for the culture But that's just my own disdain for the monarchy. I'll let Americans keep their weird admiration for the royal family, they can have them!

Made its way to Germany from Chicago so should be heading to me next week. You guys are gonna geek over this forreal

Whoa, Nelly! should be the blueprint for her next steps since she's referenced it so many times and it is apparent from Not My Problem and Firestarter that she is kind of leaning into that throwback sound. She has the charisma to pull off something a bit more left field like this

Crop Circles Over The Cornfield album cover ?

Such a fun and smart idea which of course means nothing of the sort will happen

Just watched her Final Four performance. Although she sounded seriously perfect with a lot more silkiness and less grit to her voice it was pretty placid until the American Woman cover which was a knock out. Too bad that was the last song in the set I think she is very insecure about how people perceive her as an artist still and chooses to perform more covers over originals (and just the bangerz singles at that) because she feels she still has something to prove and because the viewers aren't actually her fanbase which is a shame. WTF Do I Know, and Gimme What I Want need to be performed.

We need a Marilyn Manson diss track on this actually

Breaking Up Slowly is probably the weakest track but resigned to its own side project it would be cool so I'm here for this. Great she's still finding so many ways to be inspired musically after 15 years. I can only imagine the album title. Velvet Crowbar deserves a spot...

An IGTV screencap... I’m laughing

Artwork for the next poetry book maybe
