sadness is a butterfly

Songs from Ocean Blvd that have made me cry so far: -The Grants ✅ -Tunnel ✅ -Kintsugi ✅ -Margaret ✅

AudioTechnica LP60 is about the lowest priced one that’s good. As long as it’s not a suitcase player! I started with an LP60 and then bought a preowned Orbit UTurn. The LP60 has a built in preamp so you can just plug it right into powered speakers for the easiest configuration.

I don’t get the locking of the previous ones after the reveal. Like they’re not already out there.

I fear I overplayed A&W pre release

I’m super excited after I made my track list last night I just need to track down the cleanest versions of the unreleased songs for my library.

Im comfortable with this ranking for now: 1. Lust for Life 2. NFR 3. DYKTTATUOB 4. Ultraviolence 5. Honeymoon 6. Born to Die/Paradise (I love these albums but i don’t return to them as much as others). 7. Chemtrails 8. Blue Banisters (I don’t really listen to AKA)

Anyone have links to videos of performances from the other night?

I’ve been singing “slip softly into rain”

I will defend Sweet to the grave I think it ties into the first two tracks socially very well. They are a great trio. Sweet is a sassy little track, and talks about her worries but also shows her as confident in who she is. Basically, “I’m a catch!”. I love the high vocal parts too. One of my favorites on the album.

I just opened mine up and the poster stuck to the inner sleeve in one spot and there like an inch by inch spot that’s messed up on the poster and sleeve 😫😫 This copy actually sounds really good though, and it was like an hour drive so i don’t really want to exchange it.

Finally secured the Target edition vinyl, local store didn’t carry it, next closest store said they had in stock but she couldn’t find them, probably still on a pallet. Only 15 in the pallet by the way. Next store had about 8 on the shelf. This one might become hard to find honestly.

Since I grew up on 90s country, this song reminds me of beach vacations as a kid, my mom blasting country radio. The song title says it all. A total 90s country bop. What song has the best bridge that you can think of?

That would make a lot of sense (and I’d play the heck out of that video)

When I bought the picture disc of DYK, but I actually like it now that I got it When was the last time you went out to eat?

I was bored, so here’s what I would have made the track list, taking into account the new material and some songs that Melanie obviously wanted to include (Moon Cycle) 10/10 album right here

That “signed copy” sticker looks like it’s 30 years old and has a ton of wear on it, look how the black is rubbed off. They slapped that sticker on there from something else

We knew our own lyrics not “tunnel vision and dead me” and “you hum a tune I don’t believe”

Also just saw this on Twitter

Night 1 Tunnel Vision performance still unmatched

It’s interesting that she’s been playing all the songs that are kind of the same sound at these shows: Death, Evil, BOTL, and Void. TV and FS are a little different sounding at least. She clearly knows what the best songs on the record are and keeps repeating them. TV should get single treatment, there’s nothing really out there with that sound.

Likely coming as a single mid next week

Alright I’m gonna go get the Target version tomorrow to help our girl. Plus I need that poster Margaret has been on repeat for me today too

Ok theramin player!

@LunaeManifestum got their wish though!!! EVIL!

Tunnel Vision was rough. The mixing or something was terrible, the percussion was so crackly and her vocals were so off from the backing track
