hey y'all I made a quick concept for a potential Ocean BLVD site theme- its verrrryyyy rough so pls dont go awfff on me! 
I was super inspired by the colorful psychedelic Neil shots for this era (and equally frightened by the thought of a potential ocean blvd site theme that was mostly comprised of black & white photos and a monochrome / dull colour scheme) so I came up w this. I also wanted to include the iconic titty pic because it is SO beyond legendary. I think the pink & blue tones work really well together too. let me know what u guys think!! 


 
(I feel like some text I made pink but should've been blue & vice versa, but this is a pretty clear idea of what I think the site theme should look like!! it would be so beautiful imo!!)
 
quick mockup for a mobile version, plus alternate edits:

Random but interesting: Filmaker Harmony Korine is a co-writer on Handstand. When's the only other time he's written a song? Florida Kilos.

I listened to the album a few times today while working and I enjoyed it 
didn’t change my life, but it was all quite pleasant and cohesive. I do think it has a summery vibe?
 
Favorites would be Rose Colored Lenses, Island, and Wonder Woman 

I kinda want to hear the early version of Thousand Miles now...

I still enjoy Don't Forget

This is actually sad, and it makes me mad that no one is talking about it. She's been neglected in so many ways, but letting a white man stole her art is unbearable. When it happened to Taylor Swift, a blonde white woman with blue eyes, people reacted very different. 

Happy International Women’s Day 

Don't want the kisses, unless they're bitter
I'm hooked on Tetris, Getting me weaker…
 

I was inspired by Tori Amos’ album ‘Strange Little Girls’ in which she covered songs traditionally written and recorded by male artists, but re-contextualised them with a female P.O.V.
 
The tracklist itself consists a mix of Lana’s musical inspirations, as well as songs from her modern contemporaries that I thought would be a perfect fit for her style and sound good. I envisioned for the production style to be a crossover between Ultraviolence and NFR, with a hint of Honeymoon. 
 
There are plenty of Lana-like Easter eggs present within the song titles and lyrical content 
Don’t Forget Me by Lana Del Rey
 
Tracklist
Perfect Day - Lou Reed Hurt - Nine Inch Nails Bad Religion - Frank Ocean Happiness Is A Warm Gun - The Beatles Bored In The USA - Father John Misty ’97 Bonnie & Clyde - Eminem Life On Mars? - David Bowie Creep - Radiohead Born To Lose - Johnny Cash Lithium - Nirvana Dream Brother - Jeff Buckley Don’t Forget Me - Harry Nilsson

What is everyone’s fave Tori album? Mine is Scarlet’s Walk followed by close tie of Choirgirl Hotel and Little Earthquakes. Sorry if this topic has been done to death. I’m not that familiar with her stuff from 2009 on. Not sure why, but her earlier records just hit different. 

Professional= she is 

Widow= Courtney Love 

After today’s mess , I started to learn how to make A.I covers . There is a long way ahead but I’m super excited about this one and I wanted to share it with you. 
 
 

Some of the lyrical content speaks for itself: 'He hit so hard I saw stars, he hit so hard I saw God.' Shares allusions to The Crystal's song He Hit Me (It Felt Like A Kiss) which Lana used in Ultraviolence. 
 
This song seems to allude to an abusive relationship, but according to Courtney it's about having a good orgasm 
 
'He's so candy my downfall, melts in my mouth until there's nothing at all' it's giving Rock Candy Sweet vibes 

I found this bracket battle. It wasn’t made by me, but I thought it’d be fun to share ♡ 

Might start reading The Trial by Franz Kafka during my long shift at work tomorrow, the book's plot intrigued me so I purchased it today
 
I read halfway through The Metamorphosis back in 2021 but had to return it back to my uni's library, but I did remember liking his style of writing

Purchased that book a few months back along with The White Album and Slouching Towards Bethlehem and I've been trying to get motivation to start reading it but I buy too many books at a time and my TBR shelf keeps getting bigger and bigger oop 

Still waiting for New Bottega to be added on Spotify 

VHS PRINCESS
 

this place is a ghost town
without you here
tv on in the background
drowning out the fear
going to video palace
back when that was a thing
 
this guy has his hazard lights on and 
i wonder if he knows that i’m drunk
every word flowing out of my mouth and
spoken with his silver tongue
 
but lately ive been getting back on my meds
rearranging my bedroom, reconnecting with my old friends
telling stories to them they can’t believe
about that time that i was too high to breathe
leave me in peace, i can’t get you out of my head
lived there so long, its time you start paying rent
cause it was my choice to give my body up
to a man like you cause i didn’t give a fuck
and you don’t either stop acting like you do
cause you only want me if there’s sex in it for you
 
take my clothes off like its christmas
i know im top of your wishlist
then when i look into the mirror
after we fuck in your truck i can see clear
i just want attention from someone
and all you ever wanted was to
 
coming up next on the tv
everything everyone says about me
that i look like im from the movies
that i make love like its my destiny
but i want back
what i can’t have
my innocence
playing freeze tag
with my guard down
touch my heart now
your ignorance
always wins somehow
 
did you ever think i was any
thing other than just your baby
got me crying feel like i can’t speak 
instill the fear and desert me
 
fuck me on the floor of our hometown hotel
unlike snow white looking through a wishing well
i have but one song and it’s not yours to tell
cause it’s my story and it’s mine to
 
selling myself to jesus at offering
looking back i fear i was haunting
the wrong house the wrong school the wrong street
hang me on the cross like an art piece
