they seem to have calmed down, the Ned googlers haven't tried setting up any shrines for him on ILE for a few years

Local band/AmRep types Supernova once threatened to write a song about me called "My Name is Ned," while my friend Grady in Chicago wants to do the same. I say bring it on. FEED MY EGO!

full disclosure: today is the first time I've actually felt compelled to give Visions a listen

hey it’s claire
I've had a really hard time with all of this but if it means that Drugs A Money has finally listened to my album Visions then i guess it's all been worth it.

i have a blood feud with senorgif, who has never acknowledged my existence. (senor gif likes to steal gifs from people, without attribution, put his own watermark on them, and then post them to wider fame and glory on the icanhazcheezburger network.)

btw, on a grimes related note, i listened to Visions very loudly again two nights ago, and it's still so great. blows my mind that some people can't pick out the melodies. "Vowels = Space and Time", for example, is practically like earlyish madonna

lol @ eating paint. but mostly I just wanted to revive this thread to meaninglessly praise the album, which is my favorite album of the past few years... so pleasurable on an immediate level, yet still "layered" enough to reward repeat listenings. also, for me, there is a very addictive sense of "spaciousness" to the sound of the thing: the ethereal vocals seem to "hover" far above the dancey bass and percussion of the instrumentals. the only album in my collection i think i've played more often is exile on main street.

For me it's the gaggle of Grimeses chattering out each line, and the run from Crystal Ball (track 5) through Symphonia IX (8). Really captures that late-night euphoric feeling.
― hurricane weather (forapper), Thursday, 11 April 2013 10:25 (eleven years ago) link
Oh yeah, I think Vowels = Space and Time is within that stretch of tracks, and that is my number one most played song on itunes. That song especially, but many of the others too, has an R&B "warmth" to it that I think is really captivating, and somewhat unexpected among the other sounds in her toolkit. But yeah, I do agree with you that there is something very nocturnal about the sound of this album, and even "depersonalized" in the way darkness/sleep/danceclubs can be, but the album is still...somehow... i guess the word is "intimate", and very personal. I guess I can tell this is a personal album, or at least one that is personally meaningful to me, because Grimes is one of the few artists where I get bummed out when I hear her criticized.

dammit, was coming here to post "adorbius" in response to lex's grousing
anyway, you can hardly fault katy's use of the word. language very much in character.
― I have many lovely lacy nightgowns (contenderizer), Monday, 15 April 2013 12:30 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, adorbies is a gross word. also it's sort of condescending to call grimes "adorable", i feel like, maybe, even though she is.
― Pat Finn, Monday, 15 April 2013 13:15 (eleven years ago) link
definitely something that needs a lot more analysis, i think we can all agree on that
