"working tracklist" for new album (1 of 2 apparently): https://pitchfork.com/news/grimes-shares-working-tracklist-for-new-album/

ilx pre-covers?

Pre-cover, you say.

ILX Pre-covers Grimes's new album

https://consequenceofsound.net/2018/05/grimes-name-change-elon-musk/

this is going EXACTLY how it should :D

what's sad is it sounds like people already called her c, and it wouldn't be so dumb but for the needless reference to notation for the speed of light

he should at least respond in kind by changing his name to elon musik

(which is a reference to music)

“e-musik”

And then Carl Craig can sue him

she's appearing on a track on the LOONA mini-album that's out at the end of the month, exciting!

He literally loves unions

lmao we live in hell

lmao

would be great if SF dropped Masochism right now

She's probably also a libertarian

totally

and as we know it's only a small skip from libertarian to the alt-right

oh joy

wtf sky is cool

Fuck Grimes

but guys

she has the receipts

Jigglypuff would never.

I think I’m falling out of love with her. The new album needs to be amazing if I’m to ignore all this bullshit.

She is definitely a nazi

This is escalating quickly

worse

she's a veganazi

This is the worst timeline.

She used the term "fake news", I'm out

hoo boy

Are these a different kind of overly-intense Grimes fans than the ones who I fantasized about mailing Durian to the 4AD offices a few months ago, or the same?

This is the logical culmination of Art Angels.

this is the logical culmination of capitalism

pomenitul otm, the handwringing here is ridiculous. if grimes was ever your anticapitalist figurehead you were doing anticapitalism wrong

Who's hand-wringing? You don't need to have previously idealized someone (I didn't) to recognize that they're currently a piece of shit

is grimes... cancelled?

“humans with differing views on economics often hang out”

Hushed narrator: Grimes doesn’t realize that we’ve secretly switched her regular coffee with modern Twitter, where strangers will @ others and call them walking garbage over small differences in p.o.v.

The dead c. :scrolls:

More laughing at the contradictions of this absurd situation than hand-wringing at this point.

remember when the dismemberment plan guy started blogging in favor of the iraq war?

that was funny but this is funnier imo

Is that why Pitchfork gave his album a 0?

There was a post in some other thread where it was explained that nowadays it’s not the concept of “selling out” which irks the audience but betraying your self-imposed brand. Grimes without giving it much thought described herself as an anti-imperialist before and now she’s dating what Forbes deems as the most valuable, CEO billionaire in the world. So she’s rightfully being called on for it.

She’s 30 now, the naive, immature cutey brand she had is getting closer to annoying, woman-child. Age is the difference between cool, edgy teen and courtney love.

leave courtney out of this

Sorry. You’re right it’s abad comparison she’s closer to crazy fairy lady than junkie trainwreck.

it wasn't just the "anti-imperialist" bit in her bio, she tweeted fairly regularly about environmental issues, elections, legislation, protests, etc. if anything i'm shocked that she doesn't realize how bad **the optics** are here.
