Chestnut Fox Sexy Jesus

Honestly I hope she doesn't go for the type of classics we've all heard before (stuff like I put a spell on you, bang bang, baby it's cold outside and the likes that pretty much everyone's done). Hopefully she'll throw some Elvis in there. Also unmanifesting Hey Blue Baby and Stupid for being so happy. Can't wait for the new song tonight! yay

the way she lied about the mesh mask having plastic inside though lol ma'am

Yea I do agree with you actually. It’s such a good title for a song or album though. Maybe more for a song actually. But to come and think of it, the concept is way too specific to get a title of its own so I’ll go ahead and change my mind and agree that it’s probably going to be called American Standards & Classics - kinda reminds me of what Norah Jones did with Green Day’s Billie when they did a cover album of American country songs called Foreverly

How about Pacific Blue? Wasn’t that the title of a cover album project she suggested a few years ago?

I’d love for it to be some sort of scenery - also I wouldn’t mind if she did something with one of those photos in Violet, like the one where she is standing at the entrance of a shed with the flag behind her. She’s totally disappeared which I’ll take as a sign that she might be recording and mixing - I’m pretty hyped that we’re going to have new music very soon tbh

Ok but we don’t really have anything cocc related either and yet that thread is always buzzing. I mean I get it it’s not going to be original material but it’s still pretty exciting we’re going to have a new record new art work and new track list in a few weeks and I feel like people aren’t really bothered. It’d be so cool if she rearranged the songs into something like Looking For America. ?

Any way I don’t understand why this thread is so dead when we literally are less than a month away from a release?

We love to see it! Now babe if you’re ready for a full blown break down and to never recover, look up Jeff Buckley’s cover of Lilac Wine and prepare for emotional catastrophe.

omg this is such a beautiful song - I don't know that it would suit her voice tbh but thanks for reminding me of this work of art - it's on repeat right now

I hope she doesn't just go with the Patsy Cline 60s kind of sound because it would be kinda boring and actually explore a few decades. I would love to hear her cover something by Ryan Adams like Oh My Sweet Carolina, something by Tom Waits like Ol' 55, of course some Bruce and Elvis.

Wow ok I really did have a dream about cocc but it wasn’t Lana’s - it was Charlie’s man was it awkward I was at Lana’s and Chuck and Charlie were there and they were watching some gay porn vid of someone spitting in someone’s ass h*le (ugh Corona) and Charlie was like that ass is hot and I was like uhm interesting I thought Charlie was a bottom I guess I’ma get knocked up then but then I went over to the kitchen to make some tea and I don’t remember why Lana started going off and bitching at me and I sat down on the floor I was very upset lol then everybody left and I think this was me metabolising cocc’s demise lol whatever has become of me - anyhoo Then Charlie came back and was like Y’know Lanz is like that and I was like the lion the witch and the audacity of this bitch anyway cocc better be worth the stress

Yes I have finished it. But I haven't read the poems from the audio book on their own, without the background music. I'll do that and see if they read/feel different. I did listen to the audio book a lot. For me it just helps with the overall mood and it makes some cringeworthy moments more bearable ("you don't understand me - I'm a real poem" type of shit brrr)

Yep I'd like to discuss the poems. I have actually just received the book. Among the poems that are not on the audio version, I really enjoyed 'In the hills of Benedict Canyon'. For some reason it's given me big Lynch vibes in the way that it all feels like everything is stuck at 7:27 and she's in some sort of limbo where she's thinking about things and there's this guy talking nonsense and the night time is approaching and the Starline bus is still going around like things are happening around her but it all feels like a dream? - I don't know if that was intentional or she was just trying to kinda take a snapshot of the moment and it ended up being this eerie depiction in a way - I don't know , that was my impression anyway and I really love it. I also liked Haiku n.2 , which combined with the picture on the next page again gave me this feeling of stillness but also impending doom (she was probably just sitting in her car with her bf and stuck in traffic *the river of red being the tail lights of the other cars* but the shortness of the poem and the deserted road in the picture makes it kinda uncomfortable) Haiku n.5 (it's a beautiful and sad thought) Haiku n.10 , which - if you read it without looking at the picture on the next page - makes for quite a grim and lonely thought. But the picture makes it a little less dark and maybe just quiet and lonely. Starfish is also very cute but the texting and emoji parts are a little cringy.

There are photos where she is standing literally skin to skin with some fans what are you on about?

Yea but like this time there is no space whatsoever for misunderstanding. The QFTC mess was up to interpretation and it made some points. Of course she could have worded it better but I personally agreed with most of it. This is a whole different level. Tbh being from Europe I’m not aware of the current regulations and restrictions in place in LA. Here in Italy we can go out and gather with friends as long as we social distance between different groups of people (of course not everyone is doing that but then again every country has its share of fools, some more than others) . From that perspective the trip to Mexico is no big deal IMO and I don’t want to judge her over her relationship with a cop and I don’t want to get into the whole good cop bad cop debacle. I will go as far as saying it’s still acceptable that she delayed Violet last minute and that she was clueless and posted some photos of BLM protesters faces. For me what was absolutely trash was cancelling the tour the day before with lots of fans travelling from all over the world (I had totally forgotten about it) and this mesh mask thing. These are not things done in the heat of the moment, these are decisions. She is really tanking her career being unnecessarily problematic

I hope she wakes up to this shit storm and something clicks in her head. I've always had doubts about celebrities taking dumb decisions like OK I can understand if a celeb is high on drugs or drunk or something and they smash a hotel room or say something stupid or whatever but when they do something like this I mean where are their agents? Are they too chicken shit and don't want to upset their money-making client so as not to lose their jobs? And what about their doctors? I'm not even going to start with her siblings. I think she has developed some sort of god complex. This has altogether crushed my expectations for the album, like now I'm like just do whatever you want, I'm not even upset my leg of the tour got cancelled. And this is especially upsetting because it's socially and culturally relevant. So sorry to be this negative, this shit really got to me.

You are NOT defending this bs. And no, it’s not her prerogative. While it is true that she tested negative, it is also true that - unless the test had been done literally the minute before AND she hadn’t been around people for at least 4 days prior to the book signing event (which I find questionable) - her being negative is no guarantee that she was not infected and infectious. It takes as many as 4 days for antibodies to show on a swab test or blood test. I am not so much bothered about the gathering if safety measures and social distancing were in place as for the stupid mask. This is so unbelievably ignorant it’s really taking something away from me appreciating her art.

The material still looks pretty hard-ish and blurry - I don’t know man, I just don’t know what to think anymore ?

Nah I am so disappointed. If she doesn’t address this shit that’s on her this time. I feel so embarrassed right now I feel like I’m gravitating towards unstanning - wtf got into her head ?

There is just no way that this was not done on purpose. Everyone around her was wearing regular masks. So at this point - as much as it pains me to say - there’s nothing but two options, and neither are a good look. Either she deliberately decided to wear the mesh mask knowing she would get dragged and that would make her trend thus giving more visibility to Violet (but that would be a pretty shitty marketing manoeuvre) OR this is a full blown Napoleon complex. Who’s the cutie in pic n2 ?

I don't believe that's the case. It doesn't look like that from the photos. It doesn't look like the one Billie was wearing, which was kinda firm on her face. If you look at some of Lana's pictures from the side you can see the mesh mask folding onto itself , silicone is flexible but not that flexible.

I'm not buying the transparent fabric sh't - Twitter is all over that shit, she's getting hella dragged, she's literally tanking her sales I don't know what's wrong with her and her team at this point - I never thought I would go as far as saying I am not proud of being a fan right now.

nah sorry babe that is not going to cut it. It's obnoxious behaviour. We know that cloth masks are mostly worn to protect others but even if she had tested negative, she knew this was going to start a mess, yet she decided to go on and let it be the focus instead of the book. On a separate note, testing negative does very little in terms of prevention, unless she had tested negative on the same day and hadn't been around people 3 to 4 days prior. Both nose swab tests and blood tests can come out negative up to 4 days after being infected so that's that. I am so bothered by the whole thing right now seriously.

Honest though I am SO disappointed with that mask. I don't care if I catch hands, even if they were social distancing and she wasn't going to get closer to the fans and she had tested negative or whatever else, it just still feels so unnecessarily controversial and y'all can tell me it's just aesthetics, it bothers the hell out of me.
