friend of mine doesn't like this artist because iho it is "lifestyle music"
The lifestyle of being 23 and going thrifting?
― Ò (Ówen P.), Saturday, 9 June 2012 20:11 (twelve years ago) link
I always think that's one of the daftest kind of criticisms people make. all music is lifestyle music, there's no escaping it.

later the same night he put on ariel pink though :-/
― flopson, Saturday, 9 June 2012 20:17 (twelve years ago) link
i def think some music is more "lifestyle music" than other, but it's definitely a neutral characteristic rather than a solid basis of, like, dismissal

I dunno, even bland, regular guy music is 'bland, regular guy music'
― Chris S, Saturday, 9 June 2012 20:31 (twelve years ago) link
although I guess there are varying degrees of awareness of this. like bro-punk bands that are "y'know, just playing music"... which of course means music that reflects their lifestyle and sounds like a musical personification of their character/culture

somehow this is a real thing.

Or just a lack of any new music or exciting performances?

Still loving the album. Incredibly excited about a recent twitter exchange that suggests that Claire and le1f might be recording something together. Waiting to see what happens next.
her music has that chillwave someone singing along to the radio thing going on, which is pretty i think limting

but she some cool qualities

"Skin" is kind of transcendent, really.
― Turangalila, Saturday, 14 July 2012 05:59 (twelve years ago) link
But this whole album creeped up on me unexpectedly, having initially dismissed it as vapidly pretty.

Driving in for Pitchfork today mostly to see her. Hoping it'll be a good show; she has a headlining-ish slot

She played Toronto last night w/Diplo and Skrillex. Didn't go but I chatted with some random attendees afterward: "oh yah she was cool but we were there to see Skrill". Skrill? OK!

Performance on Jimmy Fallon's show last night was way boring, but after the song and after he shook Claire's and her dancer's hands and ran up into the audience, they huddled on the stage and started jumping up and down and giggling. It was cute.

I always liked everything about Lady Gaga except for the catchy, memorable melodies and adequate production values, so this is really up my alley.

flaming broadsword? shamelessly marketing herself to the scott seward audience.

What's the concept of the video?
Claire Boucher: It's loosely based on this painting by my favorite painter, Hieronymus Bosch, called "The Seven Deadly Sins and the Four Last Things" (below). I wanted to play with Medieval/Catholic imagery. I was raised in a Catholic household and went to a Catholic school, and my childhood brain perceived medieval Catholicism as an action movie: There's this crazy omnipresent guy who can destroy you at any moment.
If painters could be compared to filmmakers, Bosch is the Hype Williams of renaissance painters.

This whole interview on the Genesis video is great:

Like when she talks about the broadsword woman being a "contemporary muse" and then she's "like the Ryan Seacrest of indie culture".
Girl enjoys her analogies a whole lot.

she's like the madonna of terrible indie artists
