Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

outside the ilm bubble i've found that a lot of people who are generally down with pop music still can't stomach taylor, f'n idiots.

Swift is p boring

This is hilarious

To the guy with the ponytail who was staring deep into Grimes' iTunes while attempting to keep his infatuated small talk going and fumbling with a beer can—if you're reading this, I have three pieces of advice: First, ditch the scrunchie. That hasn't been okay since Sex and The City Season Three. Second, look out for cameras next time. You never know what will end up on the 'net. Third, don't try to hit on a DJ while they're DJing. No, not even a female DJ. They don't like that shit any more than anyone else. How the hell did that guy get into Richie's villa in the first place?

omg @ all of these

Like Grimes getting all fangirly w/ all the rappers and asking Lil' Kim "is the mole real or do you draw it on?" and teling Busta Rhymes that "pinky rings are, like, really cool"

This Rachel Antonoff person is p awful though

those are reaally hard to watch

hey, markers:

Is there audio of the boiler room set?

Is there video of the boiler room set?

afaik there was live audio/video but nothing archived :(

they usually put everything up at some point

Feel this Jana Hunter/Nitsuh King Krule convo is v relevant to Grimes:
http://lowerdens.tumblr.com/post/59565099322/last-week-i-wrote-a-review-of-the-new-king-krule

thanks for that, I gotta say that I think Jana's followup to Nitsuh is extremely OTM regarding fame and its effects upon the standards an artist might or might not bring to bear upon their own work

Not sure if I should click on this or not:

http://pitchfork.com/news/52075-watch-franz-ferdinand-cover-grimes-oblivion/

I don't feel a high level of confidence that it would be a good idea.

You should do an exhaustive cost/benefit analysis first.

Sorry that was a stupid, needlessly snotty comment. I agree that that video looks bad.

Kinda reinstates how passé Franz Ferdinand are.

Alex Kapranos' complete lack of carnality and playfulness really reinforces how good Grimes is as a performer.

huh i don't think most ppl would associate grimes quickly with carnality, would they? - & the song's about wondering when she's gonna stop being afraid of men as a result of an assault. maybe you're coming from the video "going into this masculine world that is associated with sexual assault, but presented as something really welcoming and nice" in her words. she's selling broadband with this track in ireland non-stop for the last two years -- it's like the theme song for a major service provider -- go figure.

carnal's the wrong word. i think boxedjoy meant to say "coolness".

carnality is kind of your own thing, not stuck connected to others, though? I get a little bit of body freedom off of Grimes' music.

It get a carnal feeling. Which is cool.

I had never realised it was about assault! Just about everything on Visions has mostly indecipherable lyrics to my ears, aside from fragments here and there. I've always found her vocal style very sensuous.

odd, cuz i've always heard it as disembodied, almost anti-physical

brad should especially click that

went through a town called grimes last week, thought of markers
