[164] isn't it cool how nothing here changes at all?
Okay, the weekend is over and I'm starting to get the 'back to work soon' blues, but today has been an enjoyably low-key day without feeling like a TOTAL wash (and there's still plenty of night to go), so I'm trying not to dwell on it. And it was a good weekend, too! Saw a good movie, played D&D, and the ROH PPV was real solid. Still need to crack open my bank accounts and do that hard, messy work of figuring out where I stand heading into the holidays and new year, but that's a tonight problem. Hopefully. If I don't keep failing to muster up the courage to look and see how bad the bleeding is.
Wikipedia Sez: Chemtrails over the Country Club is the seventh studio album (seventh?? she has been around a lot longer than I thought, shit) by American singer-songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on March 19, 2021, by Interscope Records and Polydor Records as the follow-up to her sixth studio album, Norman Fucking Rockwell! (2019). Initially titled White Hot Forever, the album was produced by Del Rey and Jack Antonoff and features additional production contributions from Rick Nowels, whom Del Rey worked with on past studio albums. The album features Nikki Lane in "Breaking Up Slowly", as well as Weyes Blood and Zella Day in a cover of Joni Mitchell's "For Free" (1970).
Genre: Pop/Rock
Styles: Adult Alternative Pop/Rock, Alternative/Indie Rock, Contemporary Singer/Songwriter
Prior Familiarity: Low. My previous uninformed assumptions about Del Ray were that she's like... if Don't Worry Darling were unironically a person?
What I Did While Listening: Made perogies, ate perogies, did the dishes, fucked around on Sporcle for a bit.
Verdict: ....really? This? One of the 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die, huh? I mean, it's definitely not bad, for the most part I dug it even if I fucking hate that voice-break-whisper thing she does on a couple of tracks and "I love you lots like polka dots" is an all-timer stupid lyric to go with the times she says 'Ar-kansas' and 'meaned' to maintain rhyme schemes, but mostly this just made me wonder what got bumped off of the list to make room for it in the latest edition. Seriously, why is this here.
Favourite Song: Dark But Just a Game. Yosemite close second.
