It's not quite Pink Floyd, but it seems Benji (as part of Ambulance Ltd.) was involved in a David Gilmour release: https://www.discogs.com/release/1536032-Ambulance-LTD-Active-Ingredients-4-Songs-On-Two-7-Records Edit: hang on, that's not a production - it's a cover. I was thrown off by discog's slightly confusing interface.

This is very serious. You should speak to HR and have them give her a talking to.

I'm surprised more people haven't made the link between "his voice breaks at 2:05" and Kintsugi.

Agreed, I wouldn't be surprised if the CD they were playing skipped or something, and everyone was too polite to mention it, while the one reviewer thought it was deliberate.

What happened with this?

Peppers is the sexiest song in Lana's discography.

I like it a lot - maybe even more than I like NFR. It felt to me like she was clarifying her writing after accidentally hitting on a way of expressing herself that resonated with middle aged rock critics (NFR). It's hard to express in a few sentences (knowing that more than three sentences in a post will get a TL;DR response from most people) but it's frustrating how even professors reviewing her records on youtube don't bother to read the full phrase that they're evaluating, rather than hitting on part of a verse that seems clumsy or out of place (or wrong, as though that's a thing). I understand that for most people. any one song should have a maximum of one emotion, but Lana's songs have never been that restrictive. Go back to Born To Die and actually listen to the songs - almost every one of them is trying to show us how point of view works in music.

It's always interesting to revisit these threads and be reminded of how little I have in common with most fans.

She cancelled on about 20 February, and on 22 or 23 February, Italy went into complete lockdown for all people across almost the whole country. It's not like this is ancient history - we all just lived through it.

I can't believe she still gets flack for cancelling a tour to the epicentre of the pandemic, when at best she would have been forced into quarantine for an unspecified amount of time, and at worst ... well, let's not even think about that.

I thought I found the dumbest reactor a while ago with some meathead who was doing a few of Lana's songs, but I just hit paydirt. (Not judging her opinions. This is just out and out dumb)

Why I could never be a therapist.

This has to be true because it is 3pm on the 2nd of April, so way too late for an April Fools joke.

I agree with this reading, but feel there's an extra layer to it. This is an extremely dense song, and there's a lot to unravel, but I think part of what is behind it is the solidification of memories of a loved one, and how not all the memories are what you would expect them to be. Here, it feels like the narrator felt there was something profound in being grabbed - as though it was a sign of love/connection, but then it became something different - a sign of how this was not the relative she knew, and that he was past rationality ("We only have hours"). It's this discomfort I feel like she's trying to express - she wants to take only happy/pure memories of him with her, but it's this unsettling thing that she's left with.

She has the number one album on the Australian ARIA chart https://www.aria.com.au/charts/albums-chart/2023-04-03

Number one down under https://www.aria.com.au/charts/albums-chart/2023-04-03

Fingertips is the all time anti-tiktok song - you can try to take parts of it out of context, but you just end up looking like an idiot. It's also the worst album to expect people to understand on first listen, which is why I hope the genius behind the reviewer's 'listening party' in the UK gets sent back to business school by the label. Just thinking about how this record would easily be an 85 on metacritic if the label had sent out copies instead, makes me mad.

I'll be honest - I didn't even make it past the preamble to him talking about the new album. But I'm glad he liked it.

Fantano's karma for his 1/10 Ultraviolence review is that he is forever saddled with the worst fans/commenters this side of a Jordan Peterson video. If you want to hate humanity, check out the comments under this.

Degrading the experiences, expressions and art of another woman is also not presenting a productive solution to the questions that feminism tries to address.

Are Carcase and Carcass the same person?

Don't copy and paste, and don't harass metacritic. Remember that it's probably just one guy reading all the emails they get, and if he starts seeing the same email pop up all the time, he's just going to delete them and ignore them. Better to write a short message explaining the same thing in your own words.

Sputnik reviews read as though Hipster Runoff was written by an actual cat sitting on a keyboard randomly hitting keys.

I don't know who it is who is having reaction videos pulled (the label? management? publishers?) but whoever it is is fucking up big time. Youtube videos discussing records don't cost an artist streams, they pump them up. I'm furious that one of the best has seemingly been taken down for the second time (Brady's).
