this song would be iconic i just know it

Yeah “Tulsa Jesus Freak” especially gives me kinda West Coast/Fuck it I Love You surfy guitar vibes. Hopefully I’m not setting myself up for disappointment.

I have the feeling that her plans for Violet weren't as big in January as they are now. If she wanted to release it in January or even a month later the books/vinyl records would have had to be ready for delivery in the first half of the year. But now in September they still aren't ready. That makes me think she initially didn't plan for it to be such a big project with 5 vinyl editions etc. If my theory is true I'm happy she waited to release it. I also hope Behind the Iron Gates will be connected to Violet like Born to Die & Paradise.

I hate being a woman omg

agree that her advance was prob pretty big (bc it's poetry it makes it harder to guess but i'd say def $1 million-ish, possibly more)

info re: the advance is from her most recent video where she announced violet's official release date (the one filmed in a parking lot)

I wonder if it'll be released on streaming tomorrow, or only when the CD is released? I guess we'll know in like 24 hours. I've pre-ordered the album on Google Books so I wonder if it'll also drop at the midnight PST or at midnight Aus. time. 
 
A MOMENT OF SILENCE 
 
To acknowledge this project is finally being RELEASED. Here were some of the classic lies from waiting for this:
Will release the book before Norman Fucking Rockwell in 2019. (source) Going to drop off a little self-bound few copies to some select retailers. (source) It will be released 4 January, 2020 (source) It will be released "about a month" after 4 January. (source) It will cost $1 'because my thoughts are priceless' (source) Half of the profits were to go towards Native American Organisations* (source 1) (source 2)  ​She is just donating her entire author advance, not the profits? Will update accordingly if she clarifies. WHAT AN ERA. I was skeptical it was ever going to happen but we've released the finish line. Thank you and goodbye so we can focus on music again. 

Not trying to be dramatic but I'm still sad that fat-shaming is still a thing
 
Edit: I also guess I'm being hypocrite because I used to say shit like "skinny legend" or "thats fat" but still, shaming a person for their body is such a disgusting thing

which poems are u most curious to hear based on title? i can't wait to hear tessa dipietro (a poem about a psychic? yes plz) and my bedroom is a sacred place now... (title is v evocative).
 
edit: also quiet waiter blue forever bc it's one of my fav poems she's posted.

My fave poem she posted was The Land of 1,000 Fires so I think that’s the one I’m most excited to hear. Also Barefeet on Linoleum because I really liked that poem too.

According to this reddit thread on another audiobook release on Audible, it seems as though midnight PST is the usual release time, regardless of region: https://www.reddit.com/r/audible/comments/9eu7wp/what_time_do_preordered_new_releases_become/

twitter was super brutal, yea
 
it just makes me so mad... it's one thing to talk about like, surgery that is botched (and even that needs to be done with caution and consideration) or bad outfit choices, but to fully just go in on someone's looks and call them fat and ugly and old.... she's a 30-something year old woman who, yes, is utterly privileged and super rich but has still been thru a lot, she's changing, her body's changing, her face is changing... plus she's not wearing much makeup in those pics and they're clearly not taken at the most flattering angle (although i think she looks fine) bc the entire purpose of the pics was to show off her new hair colour not to show off lana herself... like...... if you get your kicks outta making mean jokes then cool, do that in private with ur other similarly thoughtless friends, behind closed doors, where you can't hurt people.
 
not only do those comments hurt possibly lana, they definitely hurt women like me - or even men and anyone in between! - that struggle with body image issues. imagine if someone looked at those pics and thought "aw it's so reassuring to see myself in lana and my body in her body, she looks great!", then they scrolled down their twitter feed to see that actually she apparently looks terrible and fat and old and ugly.
 
i can't relate to lana's body personally bc i'm very curvy as opposed to slim, but i can relate to gaining weight recently - i'm turning 22 in two days and my metabolism has really started to slow down, i'm having to kiss goodbye to the teenage body i've unrealistically idealised in my current mind (even though i hated that body when i had it too), i'm seeing changes in my face and body.... it makes me happy to see it's not only happening to me, but then i think wow - if people look at lana and think "ew she's changed", what the hell do they look at me and think?
 
idk. people can be horrible. womanhood is hard. i'm gonna go pour some wine lmao

Hapiness is so beautiful as a stripped back ballad, and I am soo relieved she didn't try to make it "cinematic". She saved it from the same fate as Lust for Life, Beautiful People, How to Disappear and Lucky Ones.

idk why but i SCREAMED

not the men on this thread using their opinion of whether they'd hook up w her or not to comment on her looks...
