[DCooper 36,916]

So the moral of the story is make friends with people who work at record stores ASAP

[American Bottom 16,229]

[hotshot2am 18,781]

Why do records stores receive the vinyl 3 weeks early? They are asking for leaks

Ya I really don’t get the reason for the delay now especially considering vinyls are ready. 
 

maybe not all of them were, and they wanted ALL merch to ship on the same date for sales purposes. But still seems kind of silly.

I think Lana's forceful and stubborn that way, though, as she has the right to be, though whether that's a smart thing to do on a case by case basis is another issue. I'm not surprised in the least, especially if this entire project was written via the mic on her phone and developed out of the 'automatic writing' she spoke about. As stream-of-consciousness material, to make sure it's kept pure, it would have to basically be unedited lyrically. 

 

Many musicians are equally stubborn. It's their vision and the more likely they imagine something they write will make some people squawk, the more they push back within their own creative process. Among women, Joni Mitchell was that way in the 1970s, Tori Amos and Marianne Faithfull are this way still, and Nico said her philosophy was 'the power of the will to the end,' which, as it turned out, wasn't so life-affirming a philosophy for her. It's well-known that, in their respective bands, Ann Wilson, Chrissie Hyde and Siouxsie Sioux were the stars, leaders and bosses, stated or unstated. 

 

Haven't fully caught up, I got warned for dragging Fauxmoi losers because some ppl on here are super sensitive, it appears.

 

One thing I think is interesting about these ~controversial~ lyrics is that people aren't really acknowledging the idea that Lana is egging people on intentionally. That's not to take away from the points she's making - I think she's genuinely, openly challenging a lot of the ammo being used against her. Some fans say she's riffing, or just quickly forming lyrics based off stream-of-consciousness, using a mic, etc. But as those who criticize those lines have said, there's a nuanced way of saying things she instead chooses to deliver roughly.

 

 

She's straight up saying "I'm a white woman", "you're wrong", "my boyfriend has Covid but I don't care, we've been making out", calling herself "Lanita" on a track called Taco Truck...

 

I think it's safe to say she knows what she's doing. If a certain group of people (not even the demographic who should be offended, ofc) are offended, I don't think Lana cares. In fact, I think she likes it by now. She's said before she doesn't care if she loses fans - she's all about artistic freedom. She has questionable lines on pretty much every album she's made. Jack's mentioned one thing a lot of people don't pick up on about Lana through her music is her sense of humor, which can seemingly be pretty dark at times. I truly think she's in on it all, and though she might want you to believe otherwise, she loves to push the boundaries. I think it's okay to acknowledge that. In fact, it's one of the things I love about her - she's so messy. It's just who she is. As @gothphetamine said, I believe art should be celebrated when it's disturbing and challenging, not punished or edited. Of course, "kill all [X]" should never get a pass, but that's not what Lana's doing.

 

Didn't mean to write so much, but just wanted to add my 2c.

the lyric i highlighted is literally lana's classic sarcastic/satiric lyrics that she had on almost every album, like it is a mockery of what the public think she is like. just like the way mpg and fmw was written
