We live in cars in some cities, commuting across space either for our livelihood, or devouring fossil fuels for joy. How much of my life has happened inside of a car? I wonder if the odds are that I’ll die in one. The claustrophobia hits as the seatbelt tightens, preventing me from even leaning forward in my seat. I put myself in her seat then I played it all out in my head. Her eyes seemed clear and calm but not blank, the road behind her seemed the same. A seatbelt reached across her torso, riding up her neck and a mop of blonde hair stayed swept, for the moment, behind her ears. Two years ago I found an image of a kid with her hands covering her face. …and shares this mission statement or sorts: ESPECIALLY THOSE OF YOU WHO NEVER LET ME FORGET I HAD TO FINISH. I HAD THE TIME OF MY LIFE MAKING ALL OF THIS. Two versions indeed! This is reportedly the tracklist of the magazine version: KANYE WROTE A RAP ABOUT MCDONALDS FOR FRANK'S MAGAZINE, IM DEAD /qdr2Ub2YNsĪccording to fans who have snagged a copy of the magazine, the tracklist listed in the zine is different from the tracklist on Apple Music (and doesn’t include “Nikes”). twoooooo versions #frankocean #nyc #popupshop #hype #blonde #boysdontcryĪ photo posted by Jacob Holzman on at 4:38pm PDT There are also pop-up shops for Ocean’s Boys Don’t Cry magazine in New York, Chicago, Los Angeles, and London you can find the locations below.Īt 360 pages, Boys Don’t Cry contains an interview with Lil B, a poem about McDonald’s by Kanye West, an Ocean-penned poem titled “Boyfriend,” horoscopes, high-fashion photos, and a list of album contributors that includes West, David Bowie, the Beatles, Elliot Smith, Kendrick Lamar, Jonny Greenwood, Amber Coffman, Brian Eno, Andre 3000, Jamie xx, Gang Of Four, Rostam Batmanglij, Yung Lean, and Beyoncé:Ībout to get two versions. We already saw the great video for “ Nikes” and now you can make your way to the rest of the album at Apple Music/iTunes and convene here to process our weird new reality. But regardless of how Ocean or anyone else decides to classify them, we now have two more Frank Ocean full-lengths than we had Thursday afternoon. It’s called Blonde, and it’s available to stream and download.Īlthough it arrives on the heels of Thursday night’s “visual album” Endless, Ocean is dubbing this one the proper follow-up to 2012’s Channel Orange.
