same! we've been waiting on the book for soooo long (since she announced it as a hand-bound project) and i can't believe it's almost hereeee

2 more days!! ordered it from my local indie bookstore who open for order pick-ups 11am that day– hope it's beautiful out so i can lay in my hammock and read it

ah so glad to get an interview about the book! i hope there will be some more next week when the book officially releases. also love that it looks like she managed to re-produce the format of the hand-bound version for the book.

Shades of Cool vs. The greatest

fuck everything

baby if you wanna leave, come to california, be a freak, like me too screw your anonymity, loving me is all you need to feel like i do vs. There are violets in your eyes There are guns that blaze around you There are roses in between my thighs And a fire that surrounds you

Heroin vs Terrence Loves You

this, the melancholy permeating this bop is so bittersweet and lovely

!!! my fav song on the album and i can't wait to see it

Money Power Glory vs. Cruel World

it definitely has way more open space, sonically, than anything else on UV– and i love all the stillness in the song, it helps hold the tension imo. but yeah i def hear u re: not fitting in with the UV sound.

i love guns and roses and dont get the hate for it– to me its so atmospheric and moody, and is just such a vibe overall.

it always bored me to tears and then JUST hit for me this year– sometimes a song takes its time revealing its power to you and all you can do is wait. it may never happen and that's also fine!

Summer Bummer vs. Bel Air

two weeks til we get the book! i am still hella excited about this and since I have Tuesdays off am anticipating reading this in my hammock in the backyard

Summer Bummer vs. Art Deco

Terrence Loves You vs. FIILY

my Charli top 3: silver cross thoughts NLC shoutout to 2099, cross you out, gone, and official which are also perfection!

not eminem

Black Beauty vs. Is This Happiness

the new snippets do sound good but they also sound like a lot of stuff marina has already done, particularly re her froot-era sound. i love classic marina so i'm not bummed about a return to form (esp bc like many ppl i find l+f generally terrible) but it would be cool to hear her really do something different.

i feel like full elizabeth taylor-style glamorous chaos is the flavor of the era

i'm sorry if that felt personal! it was not meant to. i feel differently but both (and other) views are obviously valid and no one's pain is for nothing. my comment re: lana and this quote is contextualized by the performance of lana del rey as a pop star.

yeah i'm so curious about how all this will tie into the sound of the album– being that all the aesthetic/interview stuff is the only indicator we have so far for the sound apart from a like, 10 second snippet.

this kind of rhetoric really bums me out and is so corny. i know what's she means but also this is not such a rosy idea for people who experience extreme traumas (some things do just happen by shitty, shitty chance and also state/institutional violence).
