I don't think that American Standards & Classics album is coming anymore. They probably realized after Summertime The Gershwin Version that no one really cares. They're gonna release the chemtrails single with a music video instead

 

Excuse you. The people care. We better get that covers album, it's going to be transcendent and glorious and the perfect thing to leave on repeat at my mom's place over the holidays.

I was excited about it but Summertime was the wrong direction for me. Also, my Spotify says it has been played just 1.419.580 times which is pretty bad for them

I don't personally support any Summertime slander because it's amazing but to each their own. I still think the covers album is coming by Christmas.

I'm sorry, I really tried to love him but some things are just not meant to be. And we're definitely still talking about Summertime

Watch this album get scratched off like Pacific blue and Cherry music video.

For what is largely a "classical" cover, 1.4 mil in under a month doesn't seem all that bad. And if we do get the standards album (wouldn't bet the farm on this, but hope etc.), it will be interesting if she addresses her Question for the Culture peeves more. I mean there could be a lot of interesting problematic songs she could  cover (e.g., Love for Sale, Why was I Born).

I have no need to listen to Summertime because DT sampled the best part and is far superior

do we really care about this album?

I feel like I’m the only person still excited for this album. I’d be thrilled to get Chemtrails sooner, but I’d be devastated if she scrapped this. I’d be fine if she delayed it though and put out Chemtrails first. I just want this to still happen. Ever since Lana covered Blue Velvet, I’ve been hoping for a standards album from her someday and it’s finally almost happening. So close but so far away....

Zach Dawes’s latest story (with a cello) suggests she is still recording. I still think it’s coming before Chemtrails (I know it’s an unpopular opinion here lol), and I am very excited for it. Love Blue Velvet as well and The Good Life!!

Ohh is it dead?

Hey! For everyone who is bitching about the covers album, can you fucking get over yourselves and just accept that it's another side project just like her poetry. It might not appeal to you but 1) like all music it appeals to some people and 2) it's happening and 3) Chemtrails is still going to be released and there is no evidence that this side project is impacting on its release at all? 

 

It's literally just extra material so why the fuck is everyone complaining about nothing (as usual)? 

[pin up galore 17,844]

thinking bout how everyone moved when she talked about the Pacific Blue cover album but now y’all don’t want it...  seems like faggot behavior

I just don't want 30s. I want 60s/70s. That's all.

Especially funny because people are still bitching here about how she “lied” about Pacific Blue, not realizing that she originally only mentioned it hypothetically AND that this project is essentially that project anyway.

That's a really arbitrary comment, seeing as the civil rights movement - and the initial steps towards the fight against racism in America - continued well into the 70s with the Black Power Movement (the decades you said you care about). Are you just using that as an excuse to say you don't like jazz staples, big band and old time musicals?

 

Because I've got bad news, the canonical works for the American Songbook goes from the 20s to the 50s.

Girl, in the 30s everyone was singing the same songs, regardless of race. Music wasn’t censored and turned into white bread til the 40s but whatever floats ur boat. I’m hoping for some dirty blues.

Me coming back to this thread searching for hype from an album I wrote off since the chemtrails links started working while pretending Eclipse’s news didn’t obliterate my hopes and dreams of a live cocc release
