Jon Batiste Interlude

I'm dying. let this be it tho

beautiful queen. the hair, the earrings, the nails, the 7 million things her delicate little hand is carrying...

my cassette was supposed to ship out nov 12, still no update or anything.. i've also ordered 2 pkgs from the ldr village months ago and not heard a thing ..

venice bitch and hope - both absolute masterpieces, but they make me so insanely sad

1. Pawn Shop Blues 2. Off to the Races 3. Cola 4. Florida Kilos 5. High by the Beach 6. Cherry 7. Venice Bitch 8. Tulsa Jesus Freak 9. Black Bathing Suit

imo hearing white noise come in with her vocals isn't an error in mixing and also something i always notice with her vocals. to EQ it all out, you'd sacrifice a lot of beauty in her voice. better to have the white noise come in and out than muddy her vocals

anyone have any ideas what the "thanks for the shoes" line means in black bathing suit ? lol

black bathing suit / blue banisters / violet for roses are my holy trinity for this album black bathing suit has got to be one of the best songs she's ever made...ever... it's up there with the untouchables like cherry, heroin, chemtrails & hope god damn.

this is probably my fav lana song of all time..and to see such a stunning and strange video accompaniment for it after years of loving it legit makes me want to cry

wait has the tracklisting been posted?

Blue Banisters v Brooklyn Baby

this makes me so sad. Not that I don't love the 3 singles and the Arcadia snippet because I love everything she does tbh, but they do feel tame in a way that chemtrails also was. they are introspective and revealing of her life but not at all controversial or wild/strange. And between her infamous Q4TC, Tropico throwbacks, mention of her wanting revenge, even recently highlighting her die young tattoo which to me throws back to that "scandal" of 'i wish i was dead already' etc etc etc, I feel like there's so much she wants to say, and it probably is wild. whatever she was intending Rock Candy Sweet to be... I think that was some real Lana gold. and it's uncertain that intention will ever see the light of day in the way she wanted and initially meant.

Mid August I'm sitting here thinking about those insta stories/posts she made alluding to her revenge, those past publications about her, announcing a specific date for Rock Candy Sweet ... and I'm left here wondering where that came from, what her motivations were? She must have been sure in that moment it was going to happen that way. Just seems so strange in retrospect. was it cold feet?

she takes the most beautiful selfies

stupid question i fear...but is the blue banisters cover she posted of her with Tex & Mex def the album art?

when BB, WW & Text book dropped i sort of felt indifferent to them, but as time as gone on, i've fallen in love with each one... probably the title track the most. even when her production feels muted or lets me down in some way, her melodies/voice always bring me back

imo she probably made it clear she doesn't put money of his towards her art so she can keep her autonomy. if it was on his dime, everyone would attribute future success of hers to him/his money. and i know some folks thought they were being funny on twitter saying stuff like "knowing she doesn't use him for money makes me respect her LESS" but if she was using him for money, all sorts of horrible things would be said about her for that, too.

i secretly pray i talk to jesus ends up on the record

i think this is an unpopular opinion.. lust for life is a masterpiece of an album and imo her best album cover to date. even though there are some songs that are skips for me, the ones that hit, hit the hardest. cherry, heroin, lust for life, 13 beaches, get free, change... perfection
