Its just such a serve, all she did was serve us. Tip the goddamn bill 100 percent. Repeat customer right here. I have honestly had it on repeat since release. I'll check on Miley by midnight, this has my FULL attention. But yes, there's a 50/50 chance this is charity only...but we stan a generous Queen

Is anyone else just sultry strutting around their house, followed by cats, waving hello to the ghosts in the corners as Lana sings to them and....hmmm I should acquire physical friends as well

"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread
HighbytheSea replied to Elle's topic in New Releases
Impeccable taste!!!!! I'm here for the rest of your manifestations. But yall, let's start partying! I cant speak for the rest of you, but I dont think my mind is fully recovered from election week. The news grows more grim by the day, the sentient orange gourd still wreaking havoc, an uncertainty still tainting the very air.(but there is hope). Im so emotionally spent, and like a dove with a vine, Lana has come to lift my head and look forward. Yes its a cover, one I actually really cherish, especially Scarlett Johansson's version. But this is going to be an absolute serve, and I want my favorite friends of the boards celebrating with me. Im grabbing a bottle tonightttttt!!!!! -
"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

Wait.....no hold on please. Im too weak of soul, weak of heart and mind (plus I've been barreling through a book for legit the past 6 hours so im spent) is there legitimacy here? I'll cry so damn hard yall Edit-its real, as you know, and im just a mess of emotions. THIS WAS NEEDED -
I....hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmah. I think I like it alot. The opening verse i thought "we're in Electra Hearts territory oh shit" which then Segwayed into a less melancholy Froot vibe (that album is nothing but an October fall incarnate, said what I said) and then it...became its own thing. Does it have 2 bridges? Also thrilled that the chorus isn't over used. This is a success! I just have to get used to it cus its an oddity. Into it.

Ok, no one attack me cus my lack of taste and knowledge jumped out for a second but im learnin. I always hear you guys talk about Lilac Wine and im always thinking "whatever boring classic these hoes are yellin about, next"....so skip to today, ive been house/dog sitting in this bougie ass home of my friends parents. On comes Lilac Wine by Nina Simone and GOOD GOD I am so sorry I mentally talked shit on yall without any knowledge. Its an opus of a song. Simone dropped the mic on that one and its So Lana. I know she legit said the covers are mostly folk but yeah, im on the Lilac Wine wagon and feel so deprived all these years. Miss Queen, this is a formal request -

"American Standards & Classics" Cover Album - Pre-Pre-Release Thread

Shes not American but if Lana did anything by Vashti Bunyan, it would slay us for life. See "I'd Like to Walk Around in your Mind", "Train Song" and especially "Rose Hip November". Vashti was around at the time of Donavan and that whole folk movement but never caught the fame she deserved till much later in life. Lanas versions wouldn't even have to differ much. Its the sparse woodland folk music we need from her. Alas, not American. So we can expect Bob Dylan for sure yes? -

2020 USA Democratic Presidential General Election
HighbytheSea replied to graham4anything's topic in World News
Short answer is yes. Fun fact in 2013 i was working at an AMC on the Pa,Delaware border. He came in to see The Butler along with Jill. It was a really slow night, until my manager told me to act right-in come 15 plus secret servicemen. Then his wife Jill walks in (she walks like a queen and has a fantastic smile in person). Joe came in last. He came to the concession stand, was super friendly and a good handshake. He got the #2 combo, 2 cokes and a large popcorn. He paid, said thank you, and went about his way. Serviceman hung out everywhere you could look.Only time I've ever come into contact with anyone "important". I think how you treat cashiers and servers is indicative of who you are in real life, and he was kind to me. These small moments matter. -

WTF are you all talking about a cover album. Im literally melting down cus I couldn't listen. Did we lose to the point of death? -
I thought they were well matched, but having never heard Angèle before, she was awesome. I enjoyed the song FAR more than I thought I would since I'm salty about Chemtrails not coming since I'm stupid. But yeah, Fever wins best release this week, Crazy Train a close second

Lord I'm so nervous for my emotions. Please dearest Lana, Ambassador of the heavens and songs, please throw us this Halloween treat!!! Also 2 sidenotes 1- @vodkaa, you're an absolute riot, your energy is blessed 2-im listening to Annie with her new album Dark Hearts to survive. Never heard of her before but its pretty great.....but some Chemtrails would be better!!
