Some poems sound so low quality. LA is the best one so far.

the audiobook from itunes is in 128kbps

I'll say this again. & I'm not asking for a dl link, but I do wish it was on Apple Music or there was a download code sent from LDR when you buy the vinyl like her normal albums. I bought 2 and have only heard LA bc it's on Apple Music.... :crossed:

Yes I bought the book and the vinyl but I can't listen to the whole thing. It's so frustrating cause everyone is talking about how good it is...

Second listen through: Bare feet on Linoleum feels like such a dark harbinger. It gave off such sinister vibes and it would almost feel not of the same project if Paradise is Fragile didnt act as a solid transition into that kind of modern paranoia. Shes cutting those veggies with a butcher knife. And Sportcruiser-that shit just isn't fair. It is way too close to the heart in its first lines, becomes a deeply personal and beautiful tale of our Lana, and then crushes you again at the end. It is not fair and the showpiece of it all to me. Land of 1000 fires, what a BABE. Excellent. Salamander has actually changed for me and now I feel I need to sit with it. The picture it paints is darker than I felt in my initial listen and now my emotions are conflicted. This POET!

I've almost finished it, there're only 3 poems left  :ohno:

 

I started this morning, listening carefully to the tracks and then taking a break once in a while to avoid stroke risk  :facepalm:

Sportcruiser makes me feel like I’m sitting on Lanas patio late at night, and she’s telling me this deeply private story...

Has anyone mentioned that Sportcruiser is about the same guy as MAC? There’s definitely a connection between NFR and Violet. Past The Bushes Cypress Thriving seems connected to HTD, Bare Feet on Linoleum to Hope...


I'll do it for the right reasons
