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.

my lil buddy would probably be happy if grimes saw his drawing but I bet she gets lots of art tweeted at her!
― nomar, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:54 (eight years ago) link
you could tag her on instagram maybe idk
― jason waterfalls (gbx), Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:55 (eight years ago) link
she likes to see it! her instagram is peppered with posts of fan art, especially when you look about 10 to 15 weeks ago
― Karl Malone, Thursday, 3 December 2015 19:59 (eight years ago) link
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!
― nomar, Thursday, 3 December 2015 20:05 (eight years ago) link
Pfft, he probably doesn't really like Grimes. He's just trying to convince the Tumblr crowd that he is "with it".
― MarkoP, Thursday, 3 December 2015 20:52 (eight years ago) link
i LOL every time i get to the "pokemon reference" part of the openning track now
― flopson, Thursday, 3 December 2015 20:53 (eight years ago) link
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.

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

Flesh without blood is TIME's best song of 2015.
http://time.com/4132832/top-10-best-songs-2/
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.

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.

I couldn't find a physical copy of Art Angels (any format) anywhere in London yesterday. I traipsed all over, looking.
Either the NME has some influence still or it's a complete irrelevance, not sure which.
― Jeff W, Monday, 7 December 2015 13:19 (eight years ago) link
don't think the physical copy is out for another few days still
agree with the all love for Realiti (demo)
runners-up at the moment are probably Butterfly, Artangels and Flesh Without Blood
― ufo, Monday, 7 December 2015 13:27 (eight years ago) link
released December 11
― Eyeball Kicks, Monday, 7 December 2015 13:43 (eight years ago) link
oh, OK. Thanks! Could've sworn I'd seen it on shelves a few weeks ago when released digitally. Just my imagination.
― Jeff W, Monday, 7 December 2015 14:29 (eight years ago) link
This showed up in my mailbox today.
Nice to finally have it to take with me.

Serious question: had this album been released in February, would it rate as high on year end-lists?
To draw a comparison, Bjork released her album in January and it made it to most "mid-year lists" but it seems everybody forgot about it 10 months later when they hype died down.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 10 December 2015 09:20 (eight years ago) link
Maybe that Bjork album just wasn't that sticky when it came down to it?
Like, the Dawn Richard album came out really early this year, there was 0 hype outside ILM and yet I still listen to it.
I have no idea if Art Angels is going to wear off in a few months. But this is my problem with year-end lists, really. I don't really decide what the "best albums of a year" were until halfway through the next one, but then you lose the zeitgeisty sense of ~now~ I guess.
― Toot Your Hütter On Pollution Now! (Branwell with an N), Thursday, 10 December 2015 09:31 (eight years ago) link
The Bjork album is somewhere on most of the EOY lists I've seen, and that's doing pretty well for a dense, dark, often inaccessible and intensely personal album from an artist several decades into their career. Certainly not comparable to a light, fun, energetic pop record from an artist who's been one of the big buzz artists of the last couple of years.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 10 December 2015 13:11 (eight years ago) link
wait this doesn't make any sense? it being on most EOY lists surely means people haven't forgotten about it?
and yeah its appeal isn't really along the lines of constant social media conversation (plus a lot of björk's post-album activity, like the moma exhibition, had an underwhelming reception) - that doesn't mean it's been forgotten
― lex pretend, Thursday, 10 December 2015 14:18 (eight years ago) link
oh wait sorry i misread, you said mid-year lists
(but it HAS been on virtually every EOY list as well)

FADER put out a short documentary on her. I just posted the video.
