Crimson and Clover

Bird world 

It would be fine without that ridiculous phone thing like what’s up with that lol? Just getting texts of TikTok’s 

Venice Bitch will always give me beautiful warm orangey 70s and 90s San Francisco imagery of warm sunsets at Ocean and Baker Beach, mainly because my own memories associated with it and because that beautiful music video <3 (last pic by me)

ok but she has to have at least one alt-country moment in this thing, right? right??

adding anti-gun violence activist and gun slinging señorita to the list of identities she’s had over the years  (trailer park lizzy, chola del rey, New York starlet/ghetto Nancy Sinatra, California surf girl, Italian mafiosa but also Medellin cartel princess, WASPy Judah Smith churchome queen,  western country girl, 2nd amendment princess)

I think a quick obvious fix is to remove the locations to and where the jets are flying from? 

I love how Dua was just there for the vibes. She performed, looked hot with her red hair, danced with Phantasia, and left. No drama

I thought it was Hilary Duff for a while cracked out  I still have no idea who it is

i mean personally i’m thinking way further back than the 90s. Try the 50s lol. these were definitely meaningful and classy events once upon a time 

 

Oh I didn’t know you meant that far back lol. Tbf, I think it’s ok for some these artists to have fun? It makes it a bit more memorable (at least for me), maybe not Miley saying she has no panties on or whatever but the Roberto Benigni moment, which I see as an overall iconic moment in Oscars history. It does seem that these more recents moments are a bit more wtf than something we’d actually look back on lol so a balance is definitely nice

honestly almost more depressing than the snubs is what a showcase these events are for how much basic decorum we lack as a society these days... it's hard to believe these shows were once high class... people would dress in their best to go & behave accordingly. when someone won, they usually kept it brief but sincere. no phoney or overzealous behaviors- just to the point, professional & natural. Lol between sza running to the stage like a drunk mess with her phone out, miley telling everyone she has no underwear on & the entire first minute of taylor's AOTY acceptance.... just bye. Bring back the finishing schools

tbf I’d argue that award shows have always been a bit of a spectacle. I do think the impact or meaning of winning an Oscar or a Grammy is not the same as it was or what I used to think it was. Not sure if it was always like this and I’m just old enough to realize, or if the standards of these award shows have changed. I used to think a Grammy was a serious award but it really is not considering some of its past winners and snubs..

Didn’t really want midnights to win but I don’t think there was any malicious intent by Taylor bringing Lana up like some people seem to be suggesting lol I think she was just tipsy and wanted her friend to have some of the spotlight as well. It would’ve been more awkward if she just left lana alone at that table 

Im honestly more baffled that Flowers won the most awards? 

We still have AOTY right 

I never even knew his name was Shawn, I thought his name was Jay this whole time

slay

I like Taylor’s music but this looks like Midnights 2.0 

The Epstein joke????? Omg 

when lana is nominated for country album of the year next year 

still sucks that SOS got a lot more rep than CTRL, I still think that’s her best album by far 

glad to see guns and roses getting love  the production is so good

Kind of surprised that Fred Again has top billing over Lana. He must be a lot more popular than I thought he was. 

I love Fred, I’d say he’s bigger than Lana in the festival scene but Lana is the bigger artist overall 

Lana has lived so many lives, trailer park lizzy, chola del rey, New York starlet/ghetto Nancy Sinatra, California surf girl, Italian mafiosa but also Medellin cartel princess, WASPy Judah Smith churchome queen, and now western country girl  waiting for her Asian baby girl moment 

I see a Morgan Wallen collab in the near future..

Not sure how I feel about country as I wasn’t the biggest fan of Hey Baby Blue, Country Roads, etc  hopefully she has some alt country in it akin to Mariners Apartment Conplex/Mazzy Star  and I do hope this gets it out of her system 

Sooo I went to the immersive audiophile-ish NFR listening experience while on a light trip on shrooms! It was such a great experience <3 at some points it kinda felt like just listening to loud speakers lol but other times I heard stuff I hadn’t heard before. Overall it was like listening to NFR for the first time again and I loved it <3 

there was about 20 other people or so and it was overall a cool experience. My highlights were the first four tracks (Venice Bitch was a TRIP). They were playing the vinyl so Fuck it I love you was also a nice surprise. 

NFR overall is just such a beautiful album! It really brought me back to 2019 and it felt like I was a college student listening to Lana’s newest album. I got pretty emotional lol. This place will typically play albums like Loveless by MBV, Blonde by Frank Ocean, Pink Floyd, etc so I’m so glad to see an artist like Lana included in something like this. 

I could only take a few videos because it was so dark - hopefully these work!
