tons of 'famous' outsider music records were vanity projects so idk why Adam is making out that they're mutually exclusive

Interesting review in Dummy: http://dummymag.com/features/2012/10/03/comment-why-teen-mom-farrah-abraham-s-dream-is-our-reality/
I don't really agree with framing it as "camp," per se, and pitting this album against mainstream pop just doesn't seem like it makes a lot of sense. Still wondering about production -- I imagine it was made on FL Studio (or something equivalent) but not necessarily by FLA.

this album's been out for several months and still nobody's found out who produced or how it was made or anything? nobody's been able to get an interview with her?

Yup.
Still no info on production, have thought about trying to get an interview as well, may have a lead on getting contact info but not sure. Meanwhile I submitted a question to her next book (where she answers fan mail, basically) about the album and am eagerly awaiting her non-response.

Was this released on a physical cd?
Maybe there are credits in the booklet?

Maybe this is avant garde maybe not but it's definitely (to borrow a phrase from George Harrison) "avant garde a clue". Someone with no talent but lots of publicity producing something. It's 'outsider art' in the sense that it is outside the realm of good taste but this isn't some homeless lady or mentally challenged individual or otherwise obsessive artist type who feel driven to create. This is a shitty vanity project that will get lots of un-needed attention from people that think they are being brilliant in calling it avant garde.

i added "searching for closure" to the eoy spotify playlist and was like "this album, song title, and cover art looks suspiciously earnest for an ilx-championed song, what's the deal?" WOW.

yeah, it is a battle between that song and "After the Prom" as to which one is my favorite
they're both so effortlessly creepy without using any of the normal "hey this is a creepy song" signifiers

The AV Club totally fails to understand the brilliance of this record. Unsurprising, given the clotted, stale turds that made up most of their "best music of 2012."

That Onion A.V. Club feature is always the worst (except for some of the weird categories they come up with, e.g. the Michael Jackson covers thing). They slotted the second t.A.T.u. album in the "least essential" slot a few years ago. Works better as an accidental recommendation feature.
Jukebox was weirdly on board with FLA (middling score, low controversy). Haven't seen the album anywhere but the Guardian year-end so far.

she's filming it under her own name and presumably has some other occupation as a main gig

though in a genius blurring twist has filmed a sex tape w/ a porn performer, and not, say, taken tape sex w/ a boyfriend which has later leaked

i don't think the mixtape analogy works. i don't think there is an analogy. this woman breaks my head. still haven't heard the album.
uh? it's what came to mind in terms of something that used to connote a bootleg status and is now a professionally produced marketing tool.

Asked about her participation in a recently shot "sex tape," MTV reality show personality Farrah Abraham pretended to know nothing about it.
"I don't ... exist ... anything about that," she told TMZ.
haha her unique way with words remains. i wonder if this movie will have her ear for dialogue.
