    I'll just leave her reaction to winning her first VMA here because it's priceless:

    It's funny you say that bc if you look back earlier in this very topic thread, tons of people thought the box was so stupid and pointless.
    i absolutely love the box, it's some of my favorite Lana merch. the whole Violet era had really good merch in general. and i love how good the box smells inside!

    Now can we cease all celebrations until Pretty Dull leaks in the highest of qualities?

    I don't think the covers album is that near tho... they asked about it and she mentioned that she liked the idea (and we kinda knew it already) but it's probably not the next project in line.
     
    But I do think something unrelated to LDR10 is coming before it as teased by insiders some months ago now... unless it's scrapped

    the transition of the song is like suffocation, a moment of shock, your mind trying to conceptualize all of your life's trauma. 6:44 is like a switch, the weight of all of it is collapsing on you  
     
    top 3 song of her career

    Yeah. This is where the 'ethics' of it all comes back and drenches me with guilt. I love these artists. All I want to do is consume their material. If I can buy it, I will. If there's stuff that never left the cutting room floor, or there's some label exec who killed the song, I wanna hear that shit too. Gimme gimme. BUT! The fact that you could never be sharing out your sessions or song samples personally, and have a close production team you work with tightly, and your work STILL ends up online - it's like "Was I hacked? Or did someone on my team leak it behind my back? Who was on the music video set that I haven't seen before? Did they say something? Is it someone from the label? Is the janitor secretly popping flash drives into the computers when they come in to mop?"
     

    Tell that to stan culture. Those 0.1 differences on Pitchfork review scores. How many streams on Spotify? What's Metacritic got to say about it? Where is that album on the charts?

    The commodification and quantification and metricization of art is one of the nastier slimes capitalism could have ever unleashed, because now people utterly dismiss and toss out entire bodies of works just based on numbers and comparisons. It's wild, and these people - you've got these mega-forces in the industry like T-Swift, Gaga, Beyonce, Ariana, Ed, Bieber, The Jonas's - folks who are just selling out stadiums and names that have been everywhere for almost a decade+ at this point - these people look at new artists, or smaller artists, and just go "Oh? Who is she? Debut single didn't chart? Album not in the Top 200? Flop. Stream Midnights or w/e". It's so homogenized and ape-brained.

    For some people, it's just about being creative, making music, seeing what lands, and if their bills are paid, they're content - they're not out here trying to usurp some pop chart record holder, they're not trying to buy an $18 million mansion in the Bahamas off their first album; they're out here to literally have fun with their work, and make enough overhead to keep doing it.

    I feel so bad for her re: leaking. It's such an invasion of privacy and the leakers never consider the artistry behind the music. Not only that but I'd question myself as to what else these people have access to; having no sense of privacy would make me extremely paranoid, so props to her for maintaining her composure. I'd feel so invaded if people went through my emails, calls, photos, music, etc. Like, stop. It's fun to share demos and alt cuts from scrapped/released projects between us fans, but it's a whole diff vibe to leak someone's record.
     
    Plus, you can tell she puts her heart into her projects. She makes the best with the budgets she has (in a complimentary way, not shady) and gives us visuals and sounds that are fucking fun. IDK but her songs getting leaked almost seems weirdly targeted/evil/misogynistic. I say this because her leaks are usually shared in such a toxic 'haha fuck her she's a flop' kinda way. And like?!?!?! IDGI?!?!? She's out here traveling the world whilst sharing her projects with people who like her. That's badass, no? That's what art and music is all about!?!? How is that a flop? You don't need to be breaking records with your music to be successful.
     
    This went on for quite long. I should buy her record.

    you guys are talking down on covers as if her covers of summer wine, blue velvet, goodbye kiss, doin' time, some things last a long time, heart-shaped box, roadhouse blues, the end of the world, the good life, where the boys are (coming soon! ...i hope) and buddy's rendezvous don't exist  i think lana is perfectly capable 
     
    also... to say that a.i covers aren't really any different from actual covers recorded by the artist is just so, so wrong
