So I’m guessing the photos from the box set are all from this day/shoot, bc chuck is in this same outfit in one of the photos. Tho sadly it seems they’re all in b&w for the box set?

Religion vs. Art Deco

Ok I just got the HM vinyl today and never knew about the “hoes” line in MTWBT- only learned from the album booklet. Honestly genius

cruel world vs. mariners apt complex

feeling bummed that i didn't get the blanket now that it's sold out...do ya'll think they'll re-stock any of the violet stuff at this point?

horses

california vs. money power glory

Zadie Smith’s books

A return to her take on jazz, a la TLY, Art Deco, freak, the other woman, shades of cool, the good life, and even Lizzy grant stuff like pin up galore. I love the melodies she comes up with in her jazzier songs and while honeymoon spends some time in that space it’d be cool to hear her revisit those influences in the context of her recent turn to folk and americana.

oh i def know she's not doing a big tour anytime soon, just fantasizing and passing the time til the album and/or next single comes out i do think it would be in her interest to do (at least) a one-night streamed thing for the album release (she doesnt seem to love touring anyhow?) but also have no illusions that it will actually happen.

100%. it's been time.

ugh that is so annoying, little worse than money going randomly in and out of ur bank account

nope, this was for yr chemtrails order or the violet stuff?

heroin would be a dream can't believe i forgot to add it to mine! didn't put hope is a dangerous thing... either bc i was trying to play it "safe" by putting songs she'd mostly played live before (other than COCC songs of course)

dream COCC live show setlist? either for something online or in person, whenever that might be. tbh i could see her not doing a tour or anything much live for this record but who tf knows. and obvs we haven't heard any of the album tracks yet so i'm using place holders for those, and based the # of songs on an average show length from NFR tour. obviously leaned heavily on newer stuff, esp since we didn't get to hear much of NFR live last tour. put in video games only bc she always does, and brooklyn baby next to white dress bc it's a looking-back-on-lizzy song too: 1. COTCC 2. cruel world 3. brooklyn baby 4. white dress 5. COTCC song #3 6. TLY 7. LMLYLAW 8. COCC song #4 9. FILLY 10. the greatest 11. COCC song $5 12. COCC song #6 13. HIAB 14. COCC song #7 15. COTCC song #8 encore 16. freak 17. vdeo games 18. honeymoon

epic thread & great read @PARADIXO. this just became a tie for my fav lana record (w UV) in 2019 and it has been blowing my mind ever since– i return again and again and get deep with one or two songs each time. freak, art deco, TLY, honeymoon, blackest day, salvatore, and MTWBT are imo some of her career best as songwriter and absolute queen of vibes on vibes on vibes. the sax on freak and art deco drive me insane

donkey skin (1970), really great! incredible costumes/production design. watched it bc anna biller (viva, the love witch) said it was a big inspo for her and can def see it.

west coast vs. get free

big same. i think she's v talented and her voice is gorgeous but somehow the songs don't hit.

florence & the machine– i try once every few years bc so much of what she does is theoretically right up my alley but...something keeps me from connecting.

there's a whole market for tape players now, and people buy them at thrift store– i think some people really do listen to them (i grew up on tapes too so don't really get it, but to each their own) what do y'all think of the violet blanket? https://www.instagram.com/p/CKImXKAH3HB/ i almost ordered one bc i love the book/record but i wish she'd used diff art work and diff lines, these are not my fav from her

ooof...tough but today: COCC vs. i talk to jesus
