2009: A favorite tale in Grimes folklore is about the time Boucher attempted to sail down the Mississippi River on a 20-ft houseraft she crafted with a friend. They filled it with live chickens and potatoes and renamed themselves “Veruschka and Zelda Xox” for the voyage, according to Pitchfork. That’s some backwoods libertarian, white people wet dream shit if you ask me.
omg she did a silly thing with her friend in her early 20s, one more reason to hate this horrible person

OK, I didn't even know she was Canadian!

really hated the era of "hey we cobbled together a news story from grimes' tumblr"

what is with this obsessive gossip shit
it's called jezebel

Really awkward retconning of that river trip as "libertarian," ha

Real Grimes here. I know that sometimes people can date a billionaire. Dating a billionaire in the way I did was not a good thing.

What have we come to, in 2018, discussing celebrities’ lives when they’re not even in the same room
... not that a lot of this thread doesn’t dovetail with gross invasive fanboy tendencies ... but I also think there’s an overall interesting point about the rightward turn in the artworld that this doesn’t “prove” or even necessarily typify but at least seems connected to
― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Thursday, 26 July 2018 22:32 (six years ago) link
Insane the amount of Montrealers who suddenly have a story of how they were at a house party and Grimes was just hanging there she was just this girl you know and now she's dating Musk holy shit can you believe it life's crazy etc.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 26 July 2018 22:47 (six years ago) link
sounds like the conversation you have over and over again after someone from high school dies
― Impossible Burgermeat. Unlikely Seitan. (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 26 July 2018 22:50 (six years ago) link
Anyway, completely rejoicing in the increasingly-consensus 180 degrees turn on her. People do care about authenticity and politics. Personally, that's a welcome confirmation.
― Van Horn Street, Thursday, 26 July 2018 22:58 (six years ago) link
perhaps she's changing authentically into Boss Grimes
― Impossible Burgermeat. Unlikely Seitan. (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 26 July 2018 23:03 (six years ago) link
Evidence of "people caring about authenticity and politics" is not particularly scarce at this moment, in the online space, IMO

my friend said her friend dated grimes in high school and she was a seriously shitty person. this has also been confirmed by a fairly major musician i know locally. i love grimes but yeah...

Well, I'm glad that's settled!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Grimes pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

such a bummer when your favorite artist lives a life

yeah i mean most of my favorite artists engage in anti-union propaganda at some point, just a stage in life you know?

also, if you've lived in Vancouver for more than a decade and are somehow not acquainted with Nardwuar and Grimes' mother then you should get out more.

Nardwuar was my roommate

h8 ppl who call themselves hardcore fans when they've never actually gone down the Mississippi with her in a ramshackle houseboat filled with chickens

I got a hug from Nardwuar (in TO) and I'm sure I heard Grimes stories in college (in Mtl). No chickens, tho

no chickens, no credibility
(I'm slightly jealous that you met Nardwuar, though)

Is she seriously giving bitcoins and eth for free or is that some meta joke I don’t get.
