Thread for Lydia Loveless, Country-Rock Lady I Enjoy

Tangential to Loveless, but I had no idea the extent of this mess:

ugh

Forgot about all that for a little bit

Warshaw’s excuse for not doing anything about her partner’s harassment is pathetic.

Yeah this is revealing:

Nearly two years before Loveless's post, she says, Miller told her "out of nowhere" that a female Bloodshot artist had confided in him that Panick was sexually harassing her. He didn't initially name the artist or get into specifics about Panick's misdeeds. Warshaw says those omissions left her powerless to rectify the situation and set her up to appear unsympathetic...

He adds that Warshaw should've known the allegations he'd originally shared involved Loveless. "I said it was an artist at our South by Southwest showcase that year," he explains. "Lydia was, that year, the only female artist. I assumed, falsely, that Nan could extrapolate that I didn't mean that the Waco Brothers were being harassed."

Stiener says that Loveless had only recouped $2,000 after three albums

This is super corny, but I had a dream last night me and the band were on tour with DBT. It was one of those I am sad that isn’t real/sort of keeping me positive today dreams. I hope one day we can actually live real life again.

Also I wish I could say I am using this time to write the album of my dreams and be there for people, I’m actually consuming art and making it in a way that is equivalent to standing in front of the fridge naked and blasting reddiwhip into your mouth. I am not ok. But will be.

I’m currently at a school for audio engineering surrounded by people ten years younger than me and I’m amazed thinking about all the older people trying to bang me at that age. Please let young adults be young adults they are the future

Every time she tweets about her divorce there's a mob of reply guys.

I’ve been really hard on myself my entire life and it hasn’t really done me that much good. There was a decade or so where flogging myself internally furthered my career but now I’m just thinking maybe gentleness is what I need. New ye201ar more oily mental masturbation is my mantra

Saw them play a set of mostly new solo/acoustic/fierce unabashedly queer songs. No idea if the songs will be recorded that way, but they really worked, going ina new direction from what I’d heard before.

Turns out one song I thought was new was from 2014: “Mile High.”

did yall see this:
