I don't think there is causation between being a socialist and being anti-creative. Kafka was a radical socialist and a creative

I dont just disagree on the censorship you are demanding yourself (not giving someone a place at a -leftist, by the way- media because of their political orientation?) but have to say that your conceptions on socialism may be misguided too. Whenever talking about regimes that cut on freedom of speech you should point at communism (and specifically at certain conceptions of communism, not all of them) and not at socialism at all. Most of self-called "socialist" parties, at least over the western side of the world, have more today to do with neoliberal practices than with socialist/socialdemocrat ones, not to talk about the unexistent link to practices on authoritarian communist regimes -

With references to Eve and the original sin, and mention of Mount Olympus, and referring to her man as evil and from hel, and with fruit on the cover, this project really gives me Persephone vibes.

Such a trash review - they will never give her a good review bc of their bad blood. It's cringingly obvious that they just don't like her. Has nothing to do w her work.
Patiently waiting for a Pitchfork review.

The themes she explores near the end of Violent Bent Backwards over the Grass, and the creepiness of the ending make me think she's leading into a much darker sound than a country album for Chemtrails.

How do you know?
Oh that's right, you know everything about everything.
Anyway, she definitely has done so in the past so it really isn't a ridiculous notion, even if it wasn't the case on this particular day.

that guardian review is so poorly written. seems the critic was in way over her head. it was rich of her to say Lana sounded childlike - that was my exact thought on the critic.
"all her music sounds kind of the same. im ok with that; its silly, its camp, its a mood."
LMAOOOOO how did this survive editing drafts im dead

I think Happy is still my favorite. It just sums up a feeling that's hard to describe so well and when you've experienced that feeling before, the poem just really hits you.

I am kinda still reeling from this. Kudos to this being properly releasing and not having some random 10 year old leak it #CassetteGirl
This just elevates her legitimacy as one of America's greatest artists even higher. I really resisted reading too much or weighing into her poetry before now, but listening to her words and the authenticity in the delivery, I think this is one of her greatest artistic creations . . . maybe the best. Listening to the her speak the words conjures up so many images but the intertextual references to her body of work (and directly to Norman FUCKING Rockwell!) are also clever and considered to the point where it feels familiar. And the stories she tells are heartbreaking, beautiful, hopeful - there are too many good moments to mention but the best of the album is Sports Cruiser, where she earnestly confesses her self-doubt and imposter syndrome before resolving to change. The vulnerability is stunning. That, or the serene horror of Bare Feet on Linoleum, where a cacophony of voices ask questions over and over along with rising, moaning strings and synths - creating a terrifying dimension as Lana speaks over them before joining in as if she's been hypnotised. Awesome.
I've totally disregarded Jack's contributions to NFR in the past, but his incidental music took me totally by surprise. I'm sorry. @Jarred is right. His music has huge range, like I said drawing from all kinds of sounds that remind me of Brian Eno's scores to Debussy's pianos. It's the perfect level of pleasant without boarding into obnoxiously inappropriate. Delicate soft electronic wefts that sparkle, soft and lilting pianos, quirky jazz that flows like a radio play - it accentuates Lana's vulnerability, and without it the work would not be the same.
I am looking forward to rearranging a playlist of NFR's songs and Violet's poems, which I think would flow amazingly, and definitely allow a bit more variety. I think the scrappy, unpolished vocals on their own would've sounded bizarre but among the well produced sound, it couldn't have been more authentic.
I have mocked the process in the past but I'm definitely eating shit now because this was so, so worth it. Lana I'll never question you again I'M SORRY.

I promise you'll barely even notice me
Unless you want to notice me
Unless you prefer a rambunctious child
In which case, I can turn it on, too
this part and her tone reminds me so much of a 1950s housewife or even charlotte haze from the book "Lolita". it's the desperation and need for the man's love and it breaks my heart

I'm glad she can confirm she hasn't been drunk in 14 years. I, myself, being currently drunk, cannot relate

Also, one more thing. This picture she posted on her instagram with the caption "LA Who am I to Love You" perfectly captures this poem. I know her book will include some of her original photography, but I wonder if this picture may be included as well to supplement this poem. I wonder if this picture was taken around the time she wrote the poem.
Also, when she first posted a picture from this day in 2018 with Ben, the caption was "LA-->SAN FRAN"
"I'm lonely, LA, can I come home now?
I left my city for San Francisco
And I'm writing from the Golden Gate Bridge
But it's not going as I planned
I took a freeride off a billionaire('s jet) and brought my typewriter and promised myself that I would stay but
It's just not going the way that I thought"
'LA who am I to love u'
'LA-->SAN FRAN'
