If COVID hadn't happened, my own life would be much better, because I lost a great job here in NYC, which was devastated by the pandemic in 100 ways. And the wolf was right at my door: though there are only 9 apartments on my floor, two men in other apartments died of COVID, and an older friend whom I had known also died of it, very suddenly. COVID destroyed so much and so many. The government's fumbling and junk science didn't help. 

 

BUT if there was no COVID, we wouldn't have Violets For Roses, one of my all-time favorite Lana tracks. And Black Bathing Suit might not exist either, or might in a different form. 

 

I'm glad Lana responded to COVID in her own way and didn't ignore it.

So let me ask this: another member said yesterday that they hadn't seen a lot of dislike for Violets For Roses here on LanaBoards, and also for Arcadia, if to a lesser degree. Overall, Blue Banisters seems unpopular with the majority of members. Did I dream this?

It's probably because there were only 6 new songs by the time of its release (7 if you count Thunder bc of the new instrumental) and none were as revealing as Wildflower Wildfire or Blue Banisters

Tomorrow is 11 years since I heard Lana for the first time, and I think I only just realised today what 'I Fucked My Way Up To The Top' is actually trying to say, which shows how slow I can be sometimes. I may have to get out the old wordpad app and write an essay on it ...

I never been the biggest fan of Chemtrails besides the title track and Yosemite. But now that it's getting colder, and the leaves are falling, and skies are brighter...I'm falling in love with Chemtrails. It's the perfect album for a walk tbh

In Greil Marcus' book Lipstick Traces: A Secret History of the Twentieth Century, he traces a fascinating history of modern art, mentioning notable art movements including dadaism, situationism, lettrism, and futurism. The first time I saw L.D.R. in concert, I was in such a state of ecstatic intoxication that I sensed that what I was seeing on stage was a visionary culmination of the all the historical stages of art from ancient times up till now. And now, with the advent of the new Amerika-USSA, I am reminded that the futurists became fascists when Benito Mussolini came to power.
