this was a lot of fun!! i spent a decent 40 minutes and i hope y'all enjoy your horoscope.

So, I finally got to see Kali live! On Monday, I saw her at the Cat's Cradle-- a small bar/venue in Carrboro, NC. It was a fantastic show, and I thought I'd give a little review, since no one else has said much about her shows lately. (This will probably sound a little incoherent and jumbled, so I hope it all makes sense  )
 
For one, the attendance for the gig was much higher than I expected-- it was sold out, and I felt pretty glad I'd already bought tickets back when they were announced. I really didn't anticipate there being so many strong Kali stans in the area, but boy, was I wrong! Due to the seating (well, lack thereof) being a first-come first-serve type setup, my friend and I weren't *right* in front of the stage, but fairly close. 
 
Phony Ppl went on to open for Kali-- I had no idea what to expect, as I hadn't looked into them prior to the show. Let me say, they were worth the price of admission alone! They're incredible performers-- they're musically gifted, but they also have amazing stage presence and were a lot of fun when interacting with the audience. Even with practically no stage setup-- just lighting-- their set was dreamy, funky, and really sucked me right into their music. They're not huge yet, but they deserve to be-- their lyrics are smart, deeply emotionally affecting, and catchy; and their sound is extremely interesting-- for one, they sound better live than on their studio recordings, imo-- and their style, while based in R&B/rap, has inflections and distillations of all sorts of genre-- some of their guitar/drum work sounded vaguely power-rock/metal influenced, while some of the keyboards brought 70s/80s prog rock to mind. It makes for a really unique listening experience, especially since they serve as Kali's backing band, too. I really can't recommend them highly enough!
 
Kali took what felt like *forever* to come on, but it was entirely worth it. The stage was pretty sparse-- she had a couple ferns, her flowered microphone stand, and a small set of stairs positioned at center stage. Her entrance was amazing: as the opening hums from Sycamore Tree played over the speakers, she appeared at the top of the stairs, and descended as she began the song. She looked like a goddess, no lie-- she'd just cut her hair into a really cute curly bob before the show, and was wearing this lacy white minidress and white go-go boots-- a LOOK  super cool how Kali Uchis turned me straight
 
Anyway, she was adorable (especially when speaking to the crowd-- I could only hear a fraction of what she was saying, because the crowd kept SCREAMING-- including when she started throwing her sweat rags to the crowd at different points, and it legit looked like the gays were gonna riot  one sis actually got punched in the nose for one of them), and seemed to be having a lot of fun, (especially with her dancing!) which was great, especially since I've seen concert videos where she seems much less enthused. Her energy carried over into her voice as well-- totally top-notch, and sis was turning the songs OUT. My only disappointment was that she didn't play any yet-to-be-released songs from the new album, despite saying she would at the beginning of the show-- I can forgive her, though 
 
I can't remember what order the setlist was in, but I do remember all the songs she played:
- from Drunken Babble: What They Say (i'm just a little pressed that she didn't open w/Chimichanga like she has at some other shows, because that's one of my absolute favorites)
- from Por Vida: Sycamore Tree, Know What I Want, Rush, Ridin Round, Speed, Loner
- from Fool's Paradise: Tyrant, Nuestro Planeta
- Collabs: See You Again
- Covers: Let's Stay Together (Al Green), Sabor a Mi, Suavemente (played as her encore)
 
Definitely my favorite of the night was Ridin Round, which was the main set closer, I think-- the backing band brought that vague heavy metal-esque instrumentation to it, and hammered the HELL out of it. It totally morphed from the album/reworked version as a flighty hip-hop track, to a thumping, aggressive queen-bitch-anthem. Y'all better believe we ALL screamed the "WHAT THE FUCK YOU WAITING FOR?!" part and it was liberating 
Anyway, I could go on forever, but it was a FANTASTIC show. I can't wait to see Kali again in January with Lana, and I can't wait to hear more from Phony Ppl!

hi everyone! i don't have photoshop nor do i know how to use it anyways so please excuse the horrible quality of these, i literally do them on my phone lol. but i'm starting to make album covers for my itunes, so i figured i might as well as share them with you all! i know they're not very good, idk how to do much    but it's a start!! 
 
this one is for Melancholia, aka the black beauty demo + uv outtakes. thats just what i call it in my own library    plus i think it'd make a pretty good EP tbh 
i also can't decide on a color because i'm a libra and i can't make decisions ever, so there are a couple choices lol

Hey, I've been home sick and I was just reflecting on Lust for Life and got to thinking if we have a good idea on when songs were created and all that?
 
1. Beautiful People - June 2014, originally intended for Big Eyes. The song sat in limbo with many versions being worked on from 2014 to 2017.
 
2. Lust for Life - September 2015, Lana began working on demo versions of this song “the day she put out Honeymoon”
 
3. Heroin - December 2015 - February 2016, Lana posted Sharon Tate to her burthdaykake account, emulated her style on the red carpet and more. The song has a clear Manson influence so it wouldn’t be too far off to figure this song was born around this time!
 
3. Love - April 2016, originally called Young and in Love.
 
4. 13 Beaches - May 2016, originally called Something Real.
 
5. God Bless America - November 2016, Lana’s said this song was created before the Women’s Marches of 2017, and around the time Trump was first elected. 
 
6. Groupie Love - Apparently one of the earlier songs, Lana went to one of A$AP’s concerts in Nov 2016 and said she was inspired by the groupie chicks in his crowd.
 
7. Cherry / White Mustang - Lana stated in a Zane Lowe interview that both songs were created towards the end of the record. I'm leaning to anywhere after February 2017 - Since at that time the record was probably still called Best American Record, and had a different direction. 
 
8. Coachella - April 2017, created on her way home from the Coachella festival. 
 
9. In My Feelings - April - June 2017, with the song being about G-Eazy, it's conception only could've happened after Coachella when him and Lana stopped seing each other. It’s possible Lana reworked an original concept to be about G-Eazy
 
10. Change - June 8th, 2017, this song was created the night before the album was submitted to Interscope.
 
11. Get Free - It's unknown as to when the original version, Malibu, was created but it seems like it was also one of the earlier songs

That similarity seems so awfully close to just be coincidence-- any chance that this could be a rework of TYWIG? That'd be super cool to hear!

Just wanted to check in after not adding anything to my fanart list but here it is!

Kali followed Lana back
 
Imagine her opening for the LFL tour

I love the fact that you're as obsessed and incessant w/My Song 57 as I am w/Mertens' AKA
 
"we don't look for heaven and we put leaks first
something we'd die for, it's a curse
don't cry about it, don't cry about it"
 

Honestly, as many unleaked tracks there are that I'd love to hear, if Mertens' AKA would leak, I'd be content. AKA means soooo much to me, and the leaks I get most excited about are leaks from that era (The Ocean, Roller Dirby, Wayamaya, etc.) because it's the closest to having more tracks on that album. Therefore, to have Mertens' AKA, I'd finally have alternate versions of my favorite songs in the world, but also versions produced by my favorite producer to work with Lana. 
 
I'm gonna cry when (not if; I'm willing this leak into existence) it leaks. I'm gonna be in shock for several days. It means *that* much to me.
 
this is a not-so-carefully coded cry for help. leak the album. i need it;

She probably doesn't know what has or hasn't leaked-- watch her give us some unleaked and have no idea 
 
Or, watch her not have copies of her own songs and use a masterpost to download them            
 
Also, I'm BEGGING for a detailed booklet/liner notes with this 

"Kill Kill... that's so funny"
 
         

So cute, and good job! I don't have the patience to check-- is this from the demo, or the album cut?
 
 
Also, can acapellas be filtered from the tracks with official instrumentals (QOTGS, Gramma, PSB, and Smarty)?

Demo! - I think people have tried to get acapellas with the insts for album versions but for some reason they're like.. different? So it doesnt work!

Idk if this is good or not but maybe you can use it for something!

Even if this is something small, I absolutely love that you took the time to do it! It's kind of surreal to see the page as it would've looked if it were still live. 
 
As for the debatable pictures/words, I feel as if the hyperlink is either one of the two phrases you mentioned, or, "Good Man", as used in "Gramma", although it was written much later. It also likely has no bearing (don't know if Lana's ever professed to being a fan), but I knew "God & Man" reminded me of a song-- the phrase appears pretty heavily through David Bowie's "Modern Love". I figure that nothing is too much of a stretch with Lana, lol.
 
On the subject of "Modern Love" and Lana, allow me to go on a tangent for a sec-- I noticed this lyric in the song: "I catch a paper boy... I'm standing in the wind" which immediately brought to mind "Fordham Road": "I catch a dollar in the wind"-- which was ostensibly written around the time of lizzigrant.com.... really, really tangential but worth throwing out there, I guess, lmao
 
Concerning the other photo, I can't tell if it's "To" or "The", and I'm unsure if it's a "C" or "O" that begins that next word. I'm extremely puzzled on that one. 
 
Anyway, great job! I appreciate this project a lot .
