Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

If we shadows have offended,

 Think but this, and all is mended—

 That you have but slumbered here

 While these visions did appear.

 And this weak and idle theme,

 No more yielding but a dream,

 Gentles, do not reprehend.

 If you pardon, we will mend.

 And, as I am an honest Puck,

 If we have unearnèd luck

 Now to ’scape the serpent’s tongue,

 We will make amends ere long.

 Else the Puck a liar call.

 So good night unto you all.

 Give me your hands if we be friends,

 And Robin shall restore amends.

I guess that makes this the second time I've heard a song this year by a Canadian artist originally from British Columbia that used lines from the ending of A Midsummer's Nights Dream.

The other being the very end of the closing track from Marianas Trench's Astoria.

anyone else love the title track? the chorus vocals are my fav moment on this

ya her vocals on artangels are heavenly, esp the part she sings in french

It must be me, but I keep hearing the melody of this over Artangels and I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not.

Fine pop tune with ace vocalist with pedigree. Whats not to like?

Whatever pop station they play at my gym played Flesh Without Blood today.

Flesh without blood seems to quote Bubble Pop briefly

so our four yr old's favorite musician is officially Grimes and his favorite music video is Realiti. he made some fan art for it too, complete with lyrics. i've caught him singing 'oh baby every morning there are mountains to climb' on a handful of occasions.

aw

Cute.

no joke, you should send those to grimes, she would probably love them

GRIMS!!!!

i meant to post another version of the pic i had that was a bit cropped for privacy's sake but that's alright i guess.

after my family-wide steely dan taste-making failure i'm glad grimes worked out.

omg

guys how do we send these to Claire omg

twitter

the internet

my lil buddy would probably be happy if grimes saw his drawing but I bet she gets lots of art tweeted at her!

you could tag her on instagram maybe idk

she likes to see it! her instagram is peppered with posts of fan art, especially when you look about 10 to 15 weeks ago

well I posted it and tagged her before....but now I realize that my account had been made private before that so I'll try again!

Pfft, he probably doesn't really like Grimes. He's just trying to convince the Tumblr crowd that he is "with it".

i LOL every time i get to the "pokemon reference" part of the openning track now

Seems like james logs in here every now and again so maybe he'll see it and pass it on

^^^ Whiney has made an invaluable contribution to the critical discourse around this record.

looooooool

@MarkoP

I haven't paid much attention to the critical discourse surrounding this record, but the Pokemon thing was apparent to me from first listen.

1. she loved the fan art

2. it is not a pokemon reference. it is just a lyric that contains the phrase "catch them all"

oh dang that's awesome! I just told him and he was super excited and happy. <3

this is all super adorable!

that made our day!

dang that made MY day and i'm just a guy on a grimes thread

^^

I like the Natalie Prass cover of "REALiTi"

Flesh without blood is TIME's best song of 2015.

It's not even the best song off the album! Butterfly and Eazily are current favorites. Of the singles I think flesh is my least favorite. Kill maim and the song that samples Rihanna are better.

Realiti (demo) is the best Grimes song this year, though.

nomar yr kid is rad

So this won NME album of the year? Not that I'm a fan of NME, but cool that they for once get something right.

thanks schlump, he is a swell dude
