Can totally see her doing a sultry cover of Flagpole Sitta.
Fingertips have memoriesMine can't forget the curves of your bodyAnd when I feel a bit naughtyI run it up the flagpole and see who salutes (But no one ever does)

I was beginning to get concerned that the record company was squashing it or something.

I love that they probably spent a ton of time making it look like it was done in 10 minutes in Photoshop.

Doin Time was a surprise.. a cover as the 4th song on an album seems kinda haphazard but whatevs.

her albums are mostly v haphazardly sequenced, it bugs me every time!

lol the cover art is pretty bad
interesting that "best american record" is on there, hasn't a demo of that been floating around forever?

oh good, tour dates popping up and she's playing Berkeley. the last time I saw her down at the shoreline it was a fucking disaster as it always is (traffic, overcrowding).
― akm, Thursday, 1 August 2019 16:41 (four years ago) link
i was recently mentioning to someone how i thought "venice bitch" is the most ldr song title ever without crossing into self-parody territory. "california" on the other hand...

As much as I love her, she seems like kind of a terrible live act, not a lot of gravity, and tons of canned vocals.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 1 August 2019 16:52 (four years ago) link
she was better than I expected when I saw her.

Very tempted to go, assuming she makes it out here.

song was released yesterday, along with her cover of season of the witch from a soundtrack; both are really good! also: her tickets for her show in Berkeley mysteriously sold out on ticketmaster within 5 seconds but were plentiful on stubhub with a 10% markup. Why isn't anyone investigating Ticketmaster after that Metallica leak?

"Fuck It I Love You" is good but "The Greatest" is next-level

Interesting! I got bored of "The Greatest" before it was half through yet like "Fuck It I Love You."

the latter has some of those sweet guitars I'm hoping there's a lot more of on the album (someone should give her a no-pianos rule for the next one)

I like these two (and the video) but aren’t there a lot of singles from the new album already (7?) ? Is it gonna be a double or something ? Otherwise there might not be a lot left to discover...
― AlXTC from Paris, Saturday, 24 August 2019 05:53 (four years ago) link
there's been 6 so far ("looking for america" isn't on the album) but the album is 14 tracks and out in a week, so still 8 new tracks
― ufo, Saturday, 24 August 2019 06:00 (four years ago) link
Oh ok, thanks !Almost half out already then... but I like all of them so looking forward to hearing the rest !

^ agree
― that's not my post, Sunday, 25 August 2019 13:39 (four years ago) link
Yup. I guess most people would agree too.But I really like these two latest, "FIILU" maybe a bit more than "The Greatest".

This Billboard story is interesting.
Speaking of haphazard track listings and cover art, this bit is great:
The album title was just something she came up with when she randomly harmonized the name of the American illustrator while recording “Venice Bitch,” though she recognizes that she and Rockwell -- an idealist whose cozy depictions of Boy Scouts and Thanksgiving turkeys graced magazine covers for half the 20th century -- have both explored big questions about the American dream in their work. And then there’s the artwork she has been using for the record’s singles: bizarrely casual iPhone photos that feel a bit tossed-off because, well, they are.“Every time my managers write me, ‘Album art?,’ I’m just like, send!” she cackles, pantomiming taking a selfie. “And they just send the middle-finger emoji back to me.”
