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).

If nothing more came out of this record than that I discovered Tommy, it still would have been a win.

Scalpers suck, but I just don't understand how a magazine publisher would be so committed to not making any money.

When you're right you're right When you're right you're right Even when you're wrong. Up there with my favourite LDR lyrics ever.

That post that Lana is answering reads way creepier than the prospective MV.

I thought I was the only one, but it fits that it's a famous guitar solo created while on acid on the day that Jimi Hendrix died. On the other hand, there are a hundred songs that start with clean electric guitar playing slow arpeggios that it brings to mind, including a bunch of late Velvet Underground outtakes like Sad Song and Satellite of Love.

I"m looking forward to, but also dreading, the review of the album by Professor Skye. He's so dedicated to the idea of the 'death of the author' that I think he's going to waste a lot of time making comments about 'the narrator' and 'I don't know anything about Lana so I don't know if this relates to her at all' when this is the record she's just laid it all out there.

Also Bonnie Tyler's 'A Total Eclipse Of The Heart'

It's impossible to tell the difference between actual redneck country song titles, and someone making fun of redneck country song titles.

Thanks @Elle ! I've loved the Chemtrails theme, but I'm going to be switching between these two depending on my mood

I can only speak for the Australian CD, but yes, it's censored on that.
