BTD reminds me of being a cirngey 13 year old and thinking I could relate to the lyrics, so for that reason I can’t listen to it. But it’s not that it aged, i did lol

Will get killed for this, but "Paradise" is the only LDR project that has aged for me. I find most of the songs hard not to skip over. Mostly because the production sounds very jarring on some tracks, such as "American" and "Body Electric" (even though I do still like this one)
 
I don't feel like I can relate to "Ride" anymore. Something about the Paradise project shifted for me and I have trouble connecting to it.

it made me feel...
 
made me feel like a god
 

The Weeknd should’ve had Lana join him, Her doing the PEPSI halftime show.

The show lost a lot of it's appeal after Jessica Lange left the show for me. Jessica Lange perfectly balanced bringing a more serious tone to the show, while it still being camp. After Freakshow, the show feels like it's being campy just for the sake of being campy, with no real artistic identity behind it.

I agree. I always grimace when I see people say “men shouldn’t wear makeup” or “I don’t take makeup for men seriously” bc I have a condition that left the skin around my eye very thin and permanently bruised. I’ve been covering it up since I was 16 with a bit of concealer and (as far as I know) no one can even tell...You don’t know why someone is/isn’t wearing something—and personally I believe makeup is artistry but also can serve as a social crutch, and for that reason it shouldn’t be passed judgement on.

Is it sacrilege to say id be so cool if Yosemite had this same vibe? Its just, wooooohhh this is chill incarnate. Id kill to hear Lana with these two again.

YESSS, I'd love that. I hope Zella's and Natalie's production style rubs off on Lana

WOW!!! Holy shite who else is listening to Holocene!? Fuxkin hell I am so deeply into this, Weyes harmonizes so perfectly with anyone she works with, and Zella is really going in with these picturesque lyrics. F*CK 

Can you file a dispute with PayPal/your bank? Is there a no-refunds clause on the site?

Exactly, I'm also glad you brought up the fact of men who wear makeup too. I tried to include that in my original post by keeping it general with "makeup-wearers" but being accepting of men wearing makeup is something that isn't talked about enough. Two of my closest guy friends wear makeup - one because he's very much into makeup artistry, and he just applied to beauty school to become a professional makeup artist. For him, he loves the art and the activity. Another because, similar to your story, he has deep acne scars from having acne in his teenage years, and wears foundation, concealer, and colour corrector on the daily to help him feel more comfortable in his skin.
Again, no matter an artist or an everyday person, a man or a woman (or any gender), and for whatever reason they choose to wear makeup - it shouldn't be the sole reason someone is shut off from having an interest in a person, especially their art x

Idk it always rubs me the wrong way when non-makeup-wearers, especially men, try to judge women/makeup-wearers based on the sole fact that they wear makeup, and say stuff like "I prefer natural women."  & I should note, in the example you gave of Lana, she's always had a signature makeup style but on the days she goes makeup-free, which has been pretty often for the past 3 years, I'll see tons of disgusting comments noting how "busted" she looks just because she didn't feel like glamming up. Nearly every woman wears makeup in some form, and a lot of the time, it's more makeup than you think, even for "natural" looking makeup looks.
I can even sort of understand your take on not being interested in an artist if they were previously an influencer with the question of authenticity in mind, such as someone like Madison Beer (who by the way I caught her live set at a music festival in 2019 while on barricade waiting for Kali, and although her style of music isn't my cup of tea, she seemed like she was really enjoying herself onstage) but to discount an artist just because she wears makeup..?? It seems hilariously absurd to me, I'm sorry. The amount of makeup an artist, or any person for that matter, chooses to wear shouldn't be a factor to deter yourself from even giving them a chance, and it seems you're quite proud of this mindset. Wearing makeup doesn't make an artist or a person any less authentic, and people can choose to wear makeup for any sort of reason. For some it's for insecurities, for some it's a form of artistic expression, and for some it's just a fun activity they enjoy doing. I personally start nearly every day by dedicating two hours to do my makeup & hair for no other reason than because it's something I enjoy doing. It's an art form for me, and my favourite way to have a little "me" time before facing the day. I don't care if I'm just going to the grocery store, I'll wear a full face and be happy that I did. To each their own I guess, but I still think that to discount an artist and their art completely just because of the way they wear their makeup while praising other artists who go for a more "natural" look, has a tiny bit of misogyny buried in it that just doesn't sit well for me.
I don't mean to come in here to the Kali Uchis thread all hot with my feminist tirade, but as a woman who is a licensed makeup artist & wears a full face of makeup on the daily because it's something that I enjoy, I'm a wee bit pressed about your take on a personal level

yeah idk, i just decided to not follow thru and i'll just sell it for cost or give it away i guess

Oh whoops yes sorry donated 15 forgot to say 

Very happy to donate! Thank you for sharing this and bringing our attention to it. 

can a signature for a fake name really ever be authentic? I honestly don't know if there's any way to tell if an artist really signed it or it was some assistant...?
