 Yeees please....Idk what is going on but that little trash can is annoying the shit out of me...like they should go fuck themselve  while  starring at one of the thousands photos they have off Jack....

Always tried to be a nice member and I don't want to come off as rude but that J user is clearly a fucking troll

Did anything ever come out of "If this is the end, I want a boyfriend?" Maybe it's poetry, not in a song?

[sparklrtrailrheaven 9,050]

okay, not to go wacko on this thread with a wordy, pretentious rant, but...

 

i listened to my playlist of Lizzy laptop demos tonight and i am SO convinced that Lana's body of self-recorded demos is like... lowkey one of her best works and is kind of genius

 

i've totally convinced myself that if Lizzy Grant had only recorded that handful of laptop demos between 2007-2009 and then vanished, leaving those behind as her only musical legacy, she'd be regarded rn as a visionary outsider artist. like there'd fully be some gorgeous archival release of all the demos with extensive liner notes on the mysterious and brilliant Lizzy Grant complete with scavenged webcam selfies

 

and it would be completely justified, because holy shit... is there anything else that sounds quite like the laptop demos?? they're like simultaneously sweet and malevolent, lo-fi but complex, with all the legions of multi-tracked Lizzy voices singing in an angelic (satanic?) choir over borrowed beats, tapping nails, horror-movie synths, or sometimes, most impressively, nothing at all. the fact that she made tracks like Bentley some of the most chilling and breathtaking in her WHOLE CAREER and it's just her voice????? 

 

like, compare Maha Maha and Bollywood Hawaii -- there's something timid and reigned-in about her vocal delivery on Maha Maha that's totally gone on Bollywood Hawaii, and i have no doubt it's because she felt safe to have fun and experiment and do whatever the fuck she wanted musically in her laptop demos. they're the sound of an artist that's totally free, taking risks, doing what excites them, and in the process creating something absolutely unique. it just doesn't get talked about enough that she was a woman in her early 20's completely independently writing, recording, AND producing these insane, layered songs where she plays characters and tells stories and builds up this whole universe of connected lyrics and references, all on her MACBOOK

 

so yeah i'm feeling a LOT of love for the laptop demos rn. why don't we go ahead and leak Diet Mtn Dew Baby, Star Lux, Beach Boys, Bikini Gold, and all the others so we can bask in the genius

the lizzy grant / pre-fame era has some of the most unique and intricately crafted music i've ever heard, and that's beyond just what she's recorded on her laptop, even the "surf noir" material, like mermaid motel, the man i love, pin up galore, etc. is like nothing i've heard before and she was excellent at it, i love that you almost consider it "outsider art" because i get that feeling as well, it's definitely strange, intriguing, elusive, yet very special, nobody else could really do it like her <3

Hi! I don’t know if this is the right topic to ask but,

Can someone explain me how can I add the signature thing below my posts? I’ve tried several times but I don’t see where is the option to add it. 
Thanks in advance

Ikr? This is really suspicious... why after 10 years of career all of a sudden everybody and their mother started to acknowledge aka?

Hi

 

She looks amazing, also mentioning aka again? Team delulu we about to win 

[necessary sacrifice 8,865]

I love how this article says she’s released 8 albums since her first one, implying this is her 9th, meaning they didn’t just count AKA, but Paradise and Violet too 

(I like when all her projects are counted equally since it paints a clearer picture of who she is as an artist)
