tim it is pretty baffling to me that you did postgraduate studies in crit theory since you are like, the clearest writer ever

Law was a pretty good counterweight - my problem in that dept is that I'm still too elliptical and roundabout at times.

I guess it's a good thing for music fans that they couldn't get that engine working. xp

I saw this album on a lot of year-end lists and I took a flyer on Amazon. I'm glad that I did. It reminds me of Austra, who I also adore, in that is seems perfectly accessible to me. I cannot wait to play this for the wife.

Okay somebody explain the Tumblr post/Pitchfork repost kerfluffle today; I don't quite know what happened there.

From what I understand, people were giving her shit for her year end list at some publication, which featured some fairly universally loved pop songs/artists. She wrote a tumblr post this morning going into a detailed defense of it. Other blogs and eventually Pitchfork picked up on it. She said her tumblr isn't any kind of offical statement or news source, and then promptly deleted everything she'd ever posted on there.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 17:16 (eleven years ago) link
whether or not an artist's blog post is legitimate news from a news org's perspective is one question... i don't really agree with grimes tho

lol tumblr

Weird, I was reading that Tumblr post 30 minutes or so. Seemed relatively uncontroversial stuff, but then young ppl I guess.

yes
― ron paulstretch (crüt), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 19:26 (eleven years ago) link
& I don't care much for the music she's defending but I "get it" and am glad it exists
I like that she sees her creative process as swinging between making Dune albums and LOTR albums
― Moodles, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 19:46 (eleven years ago) link
didn't grimes recently say she'll be posting to her tumblr a lot more often for the fans? seems a little strange to go from that to deleting every post you've made
― ☕ (diamonddave85), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:25 (eleven years ago) link
what is grimes hiding?
― ❏❐❑❒ (gr8080), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:36 (eleven years ago) link
you can't hide from internet caches, "grimes"
― christmas candy bar (al leong), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:40 (eleven years ago) link
It seems weird to delete your whole Tumblr just because someone publishes your intelligent points at length and in context but then she's smart, intense and volatile so I guess it fits.
― Deafening silence (DL), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:45 (eleven years ago) link
I think she did because people were being dicks
― Gukbe, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:50 (eleven years ago) link
Oh, I thought she wrote it in response to people being dicks about her EOY list.
― Deafening silence (DL), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:54 (eleven years ago) link
afaik people never stop being dicks.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:55 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, it's fair game for her to take it down. it sucks for the rest of us, but clearly many people on the Internet are massive dicks who think we don't deserve intelligent discourse.
― ron paulstretch (crüt), Wednesday, 6 February 2013 20:57 (eleven years ago) link
the only rule is don't be a dick

too many dicks

xposts. four "dicks" posts in a row. sorry for the gendered language.
xposts again.

i was listening to 'visions' this morning on the turntable, my kid was going back and forth from speaker to speaker laying his hands on the sound vibrations. he loves it.

my 2yo daughter likes it too but the one song that starts with a loud robot voice scares her
