Poverty exists in socialist countries and in communist countries.

Socialist is not a communist. I asked if you believe in communism. Do you agree with what the USSR has? What China has?

That is NOT what I said. Do NOT twist my words.

So you think China is actually taking care of their people? You should look at their human rights record. I am opposed to communism so no I don’t agree.

So you think Communism is good? That’s what they want in a communist society; people to shut up.

I lied. But I’m going to enjoy voting for Joe Biden when these post-millennials stay home eating tide pods. Well you will be jobless in a communist society because communism keeps people poor. It prevents progress. Communism is never something to be proud of.

She is NOT a cop. A prosecutor is not a cop! Here we go with the anti-intellectualism. Glad to see it exists on the far left and far right. More anti-intellectualism. Yugoslavia collapsed. Then you had new countries in that region which were independent. It’s like when the USSR fell. More like communists who expect everything to be handed to them by the state. God forbid anyone goes out and gets a job and earns a salary. Nothing is “free”.

The rules of war are set by the Geneva Convention. I’m not a fool and I have studied all the Presidents unlike today’s kids who know nothing about history because they don’t learn anything in school. Rarely is the question asked; “Is Our Children Learning?”

And is the solution not to vote and to allow Trump to get four more years?

We got to get Trump out. And the only way to do that is to vote for Biden. A vote for a third party candidate is a vote for Donald Trump. Some of these comments on here, I don’t know if I should laugh or cry because the ignorance I’m seeing is troublesome. I would really love to know what kids are being taught in schools now. I can not believe that someone in here literally just said that Obama and Trump are exactly the same. That screams ignorance. I studied every single President. I can actually name all of them in order. Trump is the worst President in American history. He must go!

That is NOT what I said. Now you are twisting someone else’s words. I’ll just end it with this quote from Thomas Paine, who I’m sure many people here have never heard of.

So the solution is to not kill terrorists? Not stop them? Let them get away with it? You hope that you can minimize and outright avoid civilian casualties but sadly there are civilian casualties sometimes. That is sadly the reality of war. And btw, I hate war. ———————————— I’m done with this thread. So you don’t like Biden/Harris? Fine! Stay home! PLEASE DO NOT VOTE!! Allow Donald Trump to get four more years! Allow Trump to deport more people and trample over the civil rights of everyone! Allow Trump to replace RBG on the Supreme Court which will result in many women not being able to get safe access to abortions. Let Trump continue to destroy the environment. Let him end the world! So stay home youngsters! Let’s the old white dolls decide for you because people who will be head within the next ten years should totally decide your future. Just stay home, don’t vote. Smoke pot. Oh, just don’t start talking about politics if you don’t vote. If you don’t vote you have no business talking politics. I don’t want the opinion of someone who does not vote.

These are not right wing conspiracies. I got bad news for you; anything that isn’t socialist isn’t a right wing conspiracy. Kamala Harris has a 100% rating from the HRC (the leading LgBT rights group). So explain that? Also, dismissing my position as part of the LGBTQIA community is kind of problematic. So again, what is the solution? Are you going to not vote at all? War criminal? Give me a break!! God is everyone on here some kind of far left wing socialist? Is there no middle ground? I’m a democrat and I can’t believe half the stuff I am reading on here.

We have done terrible things but we are hardly part of the axis of evil. As for Obama, he was a great President. America can’t play soft. If we don’t act, someone else will. By that I mean Russia and China. But for the record, I do love my country. I just love this; a few weeks ago I had people on here calling me a racist. Now I am defending Kamala Harris (a black woman) from unfair criticism on here and now Obama too! Me defending honest cops is somehow racist but it’s not racist for people on here to bash Senator Harris and Former President Obama; both successful African Americans in politics! God I love the irony!

Kamala Harris is not a cop. She is a prosecutor. They are not the same jobs. She went to law school. Last I checked you don’t need to go to law school to be a cop. So that makes Russia okay? As for destabilizing the Middle East, last I checked the UK and France did a lot to make problems over there when they were colonial powers. Russia has created problems in the Middle East too. They support Assad and they invaded Afghanistan in 1980. So now Russia isn’t innocent either. And btw, China is taking over Africa and creating lots of problems there. China also gave the world this Pandemic too by the way.

So is the solution not to vote for Biden or Trump? Is the solution to vote for a third part candidate which will then get Trump re-elected? Is the solution to not vote at all, which in turn allows Trump to win again? If you don’t make a decision in this election, someone else will make the decision for you. And if Trump gets another four years, it will be ugly.

So is the solution not to vote at all? As an LGBTQIA citizen, Trump and Pence are hostile towards the community. LGBTQIA rights groups fully support biden and Harris actually does have a strong record on these issues currently. Also this Twitter profile is far-left wing. Twitter is not a good place for politics. I bet that Twitter page is supported by the Russians too. People need to STOP getting their news and information from social media. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram are not places for FACTS. Again, is the solution not to vote at all? Is the solution not to vote for Biden because of he and Harris did some things in the past you don't agree with? Are we really going to stay home and let Trump win? Russia is bad. They want to destabilize the world and are already doing it. Russia and China is the new axis of evil. And is the solution not to vote? To stay home? To let Trump win again? Michelle Obama explained this very well as to why young people should vote. She asked "would you let your grandmother pick out an outfit for you for a dance?". Of course not. When young people stay home, Republicans win. In politics, there is no candidate you will find to be perfect, so you pick the better one of the two options. Biden/Harris is way better than Trump/Pence. Believe me you don't want Russia ruling the world. Russia persecutes LGBTQIA people, they abuse human rights worse than anyone expect for China. Vladimir Putin is evil. Russia is a threat to democracy and democratic values. We never should have allowed them to host the Olympics or World Cup.

^^But you still need to vote. Not voting will get Trump re-elected. Let’s not get distracted from the task at hand which is getting rid of Trump.

I’ve met them at AES, so it is kind of relevant. All I know is they were thrilled to work on Lana’s material.

This description is the short version. Trust me the long version will bore everyone including myself.

And again, complain all you want, but here are your options; 1. Trump/Pence 2. Biden/Harris Do you really want four more years of Trump? You need to go out and vote for Biden even if you don’t care for him. Four more years of Trump means he gets to replace RBG on the Supreme Court and that means Roe v Wade is overturned and abortion becomes illegal in most of the red states. Four more years of a Trump will ensure that we destroy this planet for good because he doesn’t believe in climate change. Four more years of Trump means that the rights of LGBTQIA people, non-whites, non-Christians and women will be threatened. Four more years of Trump will put immigrants at risk of deportation. Four more years of Trump means the death of NATO Four more years of Trump means that Russia and China wins. So do you really want to sit this one out and let Trump win again? Get out and vote and vote for Biden because that will get Trump out. This isn’t a marriage. You don’t have to like Biden. Also, no candidate is perfect so not voting because of that is frankly irresponsible. You will not get it exactly the way you want. Getting what you want is for babies, not adults. We need Trump gone, so vote him out!

Well if she has that kind of relationship with her label, then that’s good. Hopefully it’s still working out that way. Lana is pretty consistent with releasing music. She has never gone longer than two years without releasing an album. Other artists have much bigger gaps.

How it works? Okay, here is how it works; 1. Musician goes into the recording studio to record an album. Present in the studio is the producer(s) and engineer(s). Together they record the music. 2. After the music is recorded, it goes to the mixer who mixes the recording. 3. Then the recording goes to the mastering engineer who masters the recording. This is the final step. My father happens to be a Grammy-nominated mastering engineer so I have observed that process when I was growing up. So at this point the production of the album is done. The artist, producers, engineers, mixers and mastering engineers have completed their tasks with recording the album. Now it is heard by the artists team; their manager and agent. Then the record label hears it as it is presented to them by the artists team. Hopefully the record label is happy and doesn’t tell the artist that they can’t put it out there. Hopefully the artist is not told to go back into the studio to record something “radio friendly”. But this is why an artist has a manager and agent. They are supposed to ensure the label doesn’t give the artist a problem. If all goes well after the label hears it, then A&R does their thing and works on a plan for getting the album out there. So then comes marketing, promotional strategy etc. The artists manager works with the label on this hopefully. Also you need the album artwork so a photo shoot happens. The label sees that too, they make sure to green light that. So after all these things I mentioned above are resolved and planned out, then comes the time for setting a release date. The record label is really the one who sets the release date. The artist can push for a certain date and maybe the label says okay to that. The manager should push the label on getting the release date the artist desires. But that does not always happen. If depends on the artist, manager and record label in question. Now the release date is set. The label will confirm the date, so will the artist. Everyone starts bragging that new music is coming and here is the release date. Then the album is released. The artist promote the album. The manager gets the artist interviews on TV radio and in magazines. Then after that comes touring. The artist will likely team up with either AEG or Live Nation for that. But I’ll save the discussion of touring for another day because that’s a whole other conversation but touring is part of promoting when you think about it. So if you think I am acting like I “know better than everyone else” then that is your interpretation. If I talk about when Lana is releasing an album I am going to speak from a perspective which I understand because I do have people in my family who have worked in the music business. Since my father is a mastering engineer, I do know certain things. So shoot me if that offends anyone. Also, I happen to be Facebook friends with Adam Ayan (who mastered Honeymoon and Lust for Life) and Chris Gehringer (who mastered NFR). And no, I have not heard anything about COTCC from either of them.

There is really no point in counting down the days. Let's keep in mind that its only been a year since NFR and its only been a few weeks since Lana dropped her audiobook, plus the physical book is coming soon as well. The fact is Lana has been extremely generous with her art which is why I'm shocked that some people are actually complaining about when the album may or may not come out. I come from a musical family and people in my family have worked in the music business, so maybe I'm just all too used to how this all works. COTCC will come out when it comes out. I am pretty sure we will hear it sooner rather than later.

And I keep saying the time of the release actually is not entirely Lana's decision. I know people don't want to hear this but its true. The record label makes the final decision on the release date. Of course the artist tells the label when they would like it released and of course the artist's manager pushes too. This is why I keep saying that I'm waiting for the date to be confirmed by Interscope and TaP Management.
