Thanks for the write up re Lana. She already has an upvote for using Norman Rockwell in an album title, love his work.
For my Gen (X), in my circle, Lana seemed to be the thinking man’s crush for a while. All the chin scratchers would play ‘Video Games’ citing it as incredibly deep and it put me off listening to more as I thought that song a little overrated. Fast forward to last year and I’m sat in a fast food joint and hear ‘Doin’ Time’ and fell in love with it. What a cover! I’m now rediscovering her and very much enjoying her playfulness.
Fellow lana stan omg!!!! <3 Altho, i regret to inform she did do some lib pandering in her most recent album... I love love LOVE GPSOTSOMYWHDSF (you know which song this is...) but there is the lyric
"I'm folk, I'm jazz, I'm folk, I'm blue, I'm green
Regrettably also a white woman..."
which makes me cringe but yeah all round iconic and insanely talented writer and musician <333
I don’t know Mitski.

Maybe this is copium on my part but I’ve always interpreted the “white woman” line to be tongue in cheek
Mitski is so bloody boring. Yeah, I said it.
I’ll be obsessed with Lana forever.
