Thinking about an album that contains both the Dealer snippet and arcaaaaaaadia and WOW

Hope vs Happiness is a Butterfly

I added the snippet to the video and it's spectacular https://i.imgur.com/u7MuFdy.mp4 sorry i dont know how to embed this thing!

Greatest Hits Vol. I 2011 - 2021?

Terrence Loves You vs Honeymoon

Perfection. If I had this clip of myself singing this I would never stop walking around rooms with my phone and playing it

Her being not sure about the second-to-last chords is also iconic... it will be fascinating to hear how she resolves them on the full recording which opens BB

"listen to it like you listened to Video Games" = experience my music as if you've never heard of me before, without any expectations or baggage

Gods and Monsters vs Velvet Crowbar

Team September 8. There is no room for doubt. Only victory!!!

Art Deco vs Hollywood

Axl Rose Husband vs On Our Way

will never happen but Love Is A Losing Game as a last song would be HEAVEN

been listening to Mike Dean's album and now a bit of Kanye and am frankly terrified of what a full Lana album with this sound might be like

Wayamaya vs Mermaid Motel

and a Truth or Dare/Part of Me documentary about the 2022 world tour

Wildflower Wildfire should be re-recorded featuring Tori Amos on piano. If we're gonna do piano let's do piano.

This Is What Makes Us Girls vs Starry Eyed

That these 2 aren't in there is a crime against humanity.

The For Free ending is the one detail which prevents COCC from achieving perfection for me. To give Weyes the final word on an album that begins with White Dress is an UNFORGIVABLE sin. I suppose one could argue that Lana gradually vanishing towards the end of the album getting buried by the features is the point, like she's retreating from the spotlight etc, but that feels like a reach after the fact. For the 2024 deluxe reissue, she HAS TO tack on one more verse at the end, Lana solo. She must conclude her own story. She can just repeat the opening line of the song, all quiet, whispery and lethal. It would devastate.

Honeymoon vs Born To Die

Oh yes that's an amazing example! It sounds so mean spirited now - playing on your emotions only to punish you for taking the bait. Kinda on brand for M lol. I feel like a misdirect in these times would have the goal of getting fans excited and building hype, planting clues, in the spirit of fun mischief (and to eventually make that sale). So in a hypothetical if Boz were to say "hey I heard Yes To Heaven is the opening track maybe" and it spawns a 3-week meltdown across the fandom, then mission accomplished. Then he can come back and say, "hey guys she cut it maybe" and then another 3 week meltdown. Costs them nothing and we're left frothing to buy 6 vinyls. So, is Boz some kind of baddie p.r. genius? (or, employed by one? )

I've wondered about this too. Boz is almost certainly some form of executive assistant/jr. a&r type, either at Interscope, CAA, or TAP. His info is not something that someone on the tech or recording studio level would see - ie his post in the last few days that he heard a call had been put out for director proposals for a new BB music video at some point. That's label, management, or agent level. Interscope and CAA are relatively massive - so lots of possibilities to have access to whatever's going on in the next cubicle so to speak. But, the tracklist of a major star's new album is basically trade secrets. Everyone who works in those environments would face major legal trouble if they were caught. With as frequently as Boz spills, this strikes me as way too risky. You definitely don't want CAA's legal department on you for leaking. Something like an evolving tracklist sounds more like management company stuff. That's something that would be discussed by people involved in the creative direction of the album and her managers. They would be hearing about the whims of the artist on a daily basis, in a way that the label or agency would not (CAA agency is just negotiating the deals). Perhaps tracklists are sent out for physical production and he is intercepting it there, but he seems clued in way before anything goes to the printing press. It's possible he is involved in filing copyright stuff or interacting with streaming platforms, but the info he has throughout the process again makes me think he gets it way before anything is legally registered. So that really narrows it down to the management team and people directly adjacent to them. Ben's company is tiny - google says 16 employees. So if Boz works there, 100% they know he is leaking info. ATRL is hardly low pro, the info is just too specific, and there aren't that many people in the loop. In that case I'd say yeah they are def telling him what it's ok to say. He'd be fired and sued if they weren't cool with it. I don't get "sophisticated covert ops" vibes from these people, so an intentional misdirection seems unlikely, but not impossible. Has there ever been a good example of a "misdirect" leak in the past? Sorry for the essay, but the people need to get to the bottom of this!!

Angels Forever would be so incredible. It's a nice evolution of "sun stare don't care" too

Thinking about which of the contenders we know about have the most devastatingly iconic opening line to be track #1 and open the album... There's a picture on the wall of me on a John Deere Here's the deal, cause I know you wanna talk about it I guess you could call it text book My body is a map of LA What you don't tell no one, you can tell me You roll like thunder when you come crashing in I go back to Alabama, take a look at my life Is the sun in your eyes, easy rider? I wore diamonds for the birth of your baby, for the birth of your son, on the same day my husband to be packed his things to run Blackbirds will sing in the same key as you play in the shoes that I bought you If you dance I'll dance, and if you don't I'll dance anyway Hit the street, city beat, I know what you want Don't be that way, don't you pretend, you're not awake, when you know you are Lilacs in my mind all the time are blooming beautifully I, I can fly
