Continuing the trend that Taylor Swift began during the summer, surprise album drops the day before its' actual release date.
Another way to stay clever during our very uncertain time in quarantine.
At least for the few seconds, it felt like old times until they got into the 2020 bit. "And for legal reasons, we cannot say the name of the game." Classic.
Add her name to the growing list of artists delaying albums due to this being the worst pandemic of our lives:
HAIM (twice), Charli XCX, Nicole Atkins, Ohmme, Rolling Blackouts Coastal Fever, Phoebe Bridgers, The Pretenders, The Lemon Twigs, Deradoorian, and many other artists/bands too numerous to mention.
Likewise to Stereogum commenters: Getting the chance to see it on a desktop (which often acts a second television in my world) was so cool even with the Instagram posts.
Besides, someone had to be first--outside of what took place in Europe.
Seeing those fireworks was simply spectacular.
Besides, during a typical Presidential Inauguration, the First Couple ends up going to between 12 to 15 stuffy balls in hoping the crowds can see them do one dance throughout the streets of Washington.
I am hoping that this type of concert will replace those balls from the past, since people don't like waiting several hours to have dinner.
This was the best moment of the day, outside of that amazing poem.
The mayor of New York City decided to separate all key businesses associated with the Trump name. I am sure there is going to be more fallout and legal ramifications to come.
At least, we can safely file the Juliana Hatfield album Pussycat with such memorable numbers as "Short-Fingered Man", "I Wanna Be Your Disease", and my personal favorite "Kellyanne".
Anything Donald Trump did during his entire four years as President is not a sentence that since January 20, 2017 I would have been able to comprehend.
Excuse me, did you really mean to say since January 20, 2017? I must have missed something while reading this fine site in whatever columns were the hot topics of that particular day.
And A. Rod signed a one year contract to return as analyst for ESPN's Sunday Night baseball coverage, in addition to his many appearances in studio for Fox.
Every time I read about these stories, sure the interest of the physical space (even though COVID-19 has changed many things in regards to offline shopping, as opposed to online) is special.
However, there is the harsh reality that record companies have to restructure their models, reorganize how they advertise and set up their physical layout, and ultimately try to hash out a financial plan that makes success for the owners and gives the loyal customers the chance to say something along the lines of 'I want this album even if it costs more than I can afford' store.
This is one reason why I have enjoyed reading these types of insightful articles. What a well rounded interview with Suzanne being one of the true class artists that spanned so many different genres.
For any major artist who gets broiled over endless controversy, especially on Twitter definitely adds more gasoline and by the time the fervor stops, it is too late.
Seriously, LDR's follow-up to her excellent NFR album should be one album that I am definitely both anxious and very eager to find out.
Once we read the Premature Evaluation article and after listening to the entire album in full, then I will give my overall thoughts at that time.
If this news is mostly virus related, I completely understand. At least, her friends all got their temperatures checked prior to the shooting of the music video.
Europe is entirely in lockdown, and even with countries from Iceland, Japan, and New Zealand mostly returning back to normal--nobody from any infected country would be allowed to enter in the first place.
