I was able to get the signed from the website but my record store also had the rogue planet so I’m not sure if should keep both, I also got the dinked edition and that seems like overkill. What would you do? And if only keeping one which one would you keep
Just saw that some copies have Maxine’s paw print on them too. Now I’m jealous of whoever gets one!!

I’ve seen some comments about how they didn’t like that the last track, Lost Weekend (Reprise), was chosen to end the album. I’ve seen criticism that the song itself ended too abruptly, that Phoebe should have chosen another “better” song to end it with. And sure, a lot of these guys are online randos, but I feel like they’re missing the point?
It’s very obvious that the reason why the song (and album itself) ended abruptly was because death itself is abrupt. It’s unsatisfying. I love that song, and think it’s the perfect conclusion to a beautiful album.
Of course, art is subjective. Like what you like; you’re allowed to dislike something and I’m not trying to take that away from anyone. But I think people dismissing it because it was “too abrupt” is crazy lol.
Anyways, my dad died in early August, and this album came out a week later. So maybe I’m extra sensitive right now because of that. (I haven’t even been able to listen to the album all the way through because I keep sobbing. Maybe one day.)
Has anybody just listened? Her Nirvana cover was dreamy.
Seems like everything planned for the UK this week will shift to accommodate. Sending Phoebe good vibes! 🖤
i made a meme to convey how it felt the first time 👍
the cassette tape for lost weekend has best dressed as the final track on side B. very unexpected as it wasn’t reported to be on the cassette but very cool!
As hoped for after this morning's news. The Radio 1 Live Lounge appearance was pre-recorded and the segment will air tonight.
I saw this on TikTok and thought it provided some interesting context
ban or downvote me, this should be more discussed. it's absurd how this is happening right in front of everyone and people are just turning a blind eye. from someone who has sided many times with victims of abuse (and being a victim herself) i did not expect this from phoebe.
this isn't simply "hey i don't really like that guy", but rather someone who's advocating for another person who groomed minors. i mean... if i'm wrong for being mad at this then put me off this trash ass planet
i'm not trying to engage phoebe to receive hate, i only wish to express my disappointment.
Apologies for any weird formatting.
Here’s what I’ve noticed so far as a big Bright Eyes/Pheebs enthusiast… any others I might have not noticed yet? The Lost Weekend album touches a lot on her processing her past with various “lost boy archetypes” including her own father. Edited for grammar.
#1. “Best dressed”
Sorry I was not ready
I was a kid in a sheet
I know I don't get to miss you
But that's what's happening
We were hopeless, but we had our moments. (BOCC- “Dylan Thomas”- “That ghost is just a kid in a sheet”)
#2. “As Above”
Omaha, Nebraska- Conor’s home
I thought about Air Force One
Flying over Omaha
#3. “Lost Weekend”
We were playing for no one on top of the world (BOCC during covid)
I've been using my friends and losing the plot (Easy lucky free- bright eyes: “Sometimes I worry that I've lost the plot”)
Surviving my gift until I get shot ( Moon song tie in as well as about John Lennon’s COD and documentary dubbed the “Lost Weekend- A Love Story” It chronicles the 18-month romantic relationship (1973–1975) between John Lennon and May Pang, his young personal assistant).
Lyin' awake, you were glow in the dark
Lying to me with your hand on my heart
It's all gonna be alright, we'll make it through… You know me, and I'll never forgive you for that (“Winters End” by Bright Eyes-Just take me there and say and lie to me and say
And lie to me and say
It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright, It's gonna be alright)
#4. "Haunted"
It is not this house that's haunted
But I don't want it either way
I've been daydreaming about sleeping
But by the evening, I'm wide awake (Bright Eyes- album title “I’m wide awake, it’s morning”/also mentions in the song “Road to joy”)
I'm off to see an old friend
We're gonna get on the road again
I'll be waving from the plane
I'll see the sky in the ocean
(Bright Eyes- “At the bottom of everything”-“So there was this woman and she was on an airplane,
and she was flying to meet her fiance seaming high above the largest ocean on planet earth.”)
A couple ibuprofen
And I'm sleeping all the way
I have no secrets, only feelings
And I know those go away
(Reference to mending a broken heart with residual remnants)
There is a difference between lying
And deciding what not to say
So I'm putting on my makeup
While they're lighting the stage up
Just like candles in a cake
If you're gonna make a wish,
(At the bottom lyrics- “Where are we going?" and he looks at her and he says "We're going to a party.
It's a birthday party. It's your birthday party.
Happy birthday darling. We love you very, very, very, very, very, very, very much.")
then you better be specific
You're gonna have to live it every day
I'm gonna put myself together
You can go or you can stay
I'm gonna put myself together either way
(Reference to toxic relationship and moving on…)
Till then, I'm gonna listen to the song of the siren
No, I am not afraid
You won't have to open a heart that's broken
Water's gonna flow in either way
My heart is growing either way
hi everyone!
I was able to get my hands on a couple of signed lost weekend records (one for me and one for a very close friend) but from different stores because there was a limit of one per customer.
I noticed that one shop priced it almost $15 higher than the other and I thought that was weird. anyone have any ideas as to why there’s such a difference? I’m pretty new to this (this is my first vinyl ever actually!) and was just curious if anyone has any insight.
thanks so much :)
Go our girl! This UK push seems to be working. Keep streaming, and purchase a physical copy if you’re able 💖
My far side of the moon variant arrived today and she is beautiful! Only problem is I'm missing the first half of the album. At least I still got to listen to best dressed 😂
My birthday was Friday (release day). My 18yr old gave me this birthday card and I just thought it was so absolutely beautiful & it makes me cry & I thought you all would appreciate it. 🩷
I’m estranged from my own parents after suffering a lifetime’s worth of abuse at their hands - like, you guys, it was BAD. So to have this kind of relationship with my own children… it brings me to my knees. 😭
the lost boys one glows in the dark!!
My alcoholic dad died at 63 from liver issues in 2021 on my 30th birthday. I’m finally in therapy to process the trauma of growing up with an addict parent and I’ve come to realize how much my behavior is shaped by my relationship with him.
I first started listening to Phoebe Bridgers a couple months after he died and I didn’t know what to make of her tbh. I was hooked, but also deeply put off for some reason.
Now that I’ve been to therapy, I think the reason her music put me off is cause I relate to her music so much - like painfully so. Obviously Kyoto is about her dad, but I have a feeling that almost every song off Punisher features lyrics about her dad in some way or another.
What‘s also interesting is that Bo Burnham’s album “Inside” was the only thing I could listen to while my dad was dying in the hospital. I had it on repeat while driving 10 hours to his memorial. I usually never listen to comedy albums, but that album touches on grief and existential dread in such an approachable way that I couldn’t get enough of it.
I was so heart broken for her when her dad died. But I knew she’d deliver a masterpiece once she finally released her first post-death album, especially if she worked on it with Bo Burnham in any capacity. And of course, I’m obsessed with Lost Weekend. The fact that she starts the album with a joke about crying and dissociating at her dad’s funeral is so specific and relatable - and it just gets better from there.
I’m so grateful to her and the artists she collaborates with for helping me process my own trauma. Lost Weekend captures all of the contradictions, traps, projections, feedback loops, hopes, dreams, fantasies, joys, and even drudgeries of life as the adult child of an addict (or just a human existing *in these times*).
Also…she calls him Bobby!!! I can’t get over that.
I am 100% the audience for this album, and it’s a 10/10 for me!
