Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

definitely something that needs a lot more analysis, i think we can all agree on that

I need further evidence, maybe a video clip of ms. perry dancing to grimes' set

lactating forth the lyrics to oblivion in letters of flame

you saw that katy perry video where fireworks shoot out of her breasts too, huh?

damn, you're on a roll today, huh?

going for the brass zing and shit. adorbies.

Adorbies: sometimes you don't even have to say a (real) word to enrage thousands

now you've done it

anyone else notice "right meow" replacing "right now" w/ young women on the internet or is that just my friends

real people don't say that

isn't that from Super Troopers or something?

yup!

Adorbies is less condescending than adorable because it has ironic distance baked in

"right meow" is totes adorblez

and by "adorblez" you mean revolting, i assume

I'll let you make that call

Oblivion worked great for my morning running today

i think the songs "vanessa" and "crystal ball" from darkbloom, the collaborative album she did with d'Eon, would be ideal for running. this is just speculation though because i don't really exercise.

oh come on

irl lol though

:-)

hah Right Meow! Quick, someone do a Van Halen/Internet cats mashup

everything she writes on her tumblr is awesome and makes me wish i could stand her music

Man, she's a hero.

!

Yeah, I hope that lots and lots of people are listening to her and thinking about what she's saying.

i love her so much

she's just the best.

i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction

just for everyone who is expressing concern about a few things that weren’t super clear in my last tumblr post:

a) meeting fans is actually incredibly rewarding for me so im gonna keep doing that and if u see me on the street its like, totally fine to say hi :)

do these reconcile?

yes

otm!!!

i think her music is great and the fact that she is actually cool is just a bonus

i didn't know anything about her when i first heard visions

do these reconcile?

^just the sort of person i'd worry aboout

happy to read this one http://actuallygrimes.tumblr.com/post/47434876685/u-know-i-just-want-to-apologize-for-ever-wearing

dude, if she is sitting next to you on a plane, or in front of you on line for qdoba or wherever grimes eats feel free to say "hi, i'm zvookster. you're claire, right?" but if she looks busy don't run up and ambush her and make her day weird. the distinction seems obvious.

That intro line does sound a bit weirder than simply saying "hey I appreciate your work

I also read the word "molested" here as meaning specifically inappropriate physical contact.

My cheerleading for Visions was def mitigated by a love of her live show and personal outlook

wait they made you mitigate your cheerleading?

Sorry, no antonyms for mitigate can be found

magnified? enhanced? driven?

no DJP. sometimes there is no other option than saying the oppoiste of what you mean and praying your message will get across

xpost justified

no DJP. sometimes there is no other option than saying the oppoiste of what you mean and praying your message will get across

I often feel like adopting this as a personal mantra

Op-Poiste

I misused the word "mitigate", but I think I subconsciously chose that word because I was hoping to imply that my opinion of "Visions" today was considerably less vociferous than it was a year ago

or perhaps you never mitigate you didn't enter

pretty big difference between "hey, I saw your show last week, it was great!" and "OMG GRIMES YOU ARE SO CUTE CAN I GET A PICTURE WITH YOU?" *drapes arm around her shoulder*
