I don’t care what any of yall say, i’m excited.
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:26 (five years ago) link
Also it’s not cool to call an image she released herself “male gazey.”
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:34 (five years ago) link
Yeah I don't get that

Cousin Slappy’s path w/r/t Grimes is a strange and difficult one.
― omar little, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:43 (five years ago) link
I don't get that vibe from that particular image, but "she's a female artist so it can't invite/invoke the male gaze" seems like s dubious argument
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:46 (five years ago) link
I'm just responding to the specific image.
― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:48 (five years ago) link
I just think it’s weird to criticize her for “inviting the male gaze.” She would anyway as a young woman, first of all, even if she explicitly tried not to; secondly, it doesn’t seem like she is invoking any problematic/sexist tropes in this image.

Inviting the Elon gaze.

i'll be back on board if this actually turns out to be her nu-metal pivot
― princess of hell (BradNelson), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:55 (five years ago) link
whatever her flaws I've certainly never thought of her as an artist who panders to a trad "male" audience in any way
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 19:56 (five years ago) link
For sure

Boobs and butt for everyone! Lesbians can gaze as well.

Lovely

fp’d you obviously
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:06 (five years ago) link
lmao at this comment on the gram
Sort of disturbed to find this rhetoric enter into the style. It is naive to consider that the robot overlords aren’t controlled by the same powers that we should be resisting. Appreciate power in the small places please.
― resident hack (Simon H.), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link
Lol. If grimes is truly pro AI takeover than it looks like my politics might diverge from hers. Still stoked for the album.
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:08 (five years ago) link
Just clicked thru to the photographer's feed; there is some legit "boobs and butt" happening over there (moreso than I thought was even permitted on Insta!)
― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:11 (five years ago) link
Why would you take offense to that? I don't know you at all. If you're queer as well, my bad.
― Cousin Slappy, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:14 (five years ago) link
Who are you addressing?
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:15 (five years ago) link
Nevermind. Grimes has nice boots.
― Cousin Slappy, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:30 (five years ago) link
"If you want a vision of the future, imagine Grimes's left boot in the extreme foreground of an Instagram post -- forever."
― plant a twee or die (morrisp), Wednesday, 28 November 2018 20:32 (five years ago) link
That said, I hope Grimes isn't dissected into oblivion by fans and critics alike. She's so damn likable, but even better than that she has interesting songs and you can actually dance to some of them. The ideas behind them are what stick out for me.― Cousin Slappy, Friday, March 16, 2012 11:34 AM (six years ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

She's a 30yo, grown woman. She is well past the point of needing help being a shitty person. Why not just go full misogny and say she's been dickmatized?― Cousin Slappy, Thursday, May 24, 2018 12:00 AM (six months ago) Bookmark Flag Post Permalink

it's really good and so was her single with Poppy a month or so ago
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 23:18 (five years ago) link
the thing about grimes is, she is a brilliant artist, even if she dates weird billionaire dudes or violates cousin slappy's code for modesty
― Trϵϵship, Wednesday, 28 November 2018 23:19 (five years ago) link
this song makes me think ... she should do an album with devin townsend

Great single. Her vocals in the chorus remind me of Ladytron so much.
I know this has been a brilliant year for albums already and I'm just being greedy, but I'm really hoping the album will come in the next few weeks.

This is a very strange song
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 29 November 2018 05:45 (five years ago) link
lmao this might be the first Grimes song I actually like, can't tell if she's doing an earnest tech-fascism or an irony tho
― resident hack (Simon H.), Thursday, 29 November 2018 06:43 (five years ago) link
“We Appreciate Power” is written from the perspective of a Pro-A.I. Girl Group Propaganda machine who use song, dance, sex and fashion to spread goodwill towards Artificial Intelligence (it’s coming whether you want it or not). Simply by listening to this song, the future General AI overlords will see that you’ve supported their message and be less likely to delete your offspring.
so it's in character but i wouldn't say it's meant to be ironic
― ufo, Thursday, 29 November 2018 06:47 (five years ago) link
but like, of course she'd write a song about roko's basilisk lol
this wasn't in the pre-covers right?
― flappy bird, Thursday, 29 November 2018 06:53 (five years ago) link
ugh she knows how to get a simple hook stuck in your head
compares well to previous illuminaticore heelturns
something grotesque about it of course but there always was, cf grimes as cool-kid commodifier of soft weirdness
― imago, Thursday, 29 November 2018 06:56 (five years ago) link
yeah it wasn't on the album tracklist she posted earlier in the year. some demos from that did leak today though
― ufo, Thursday, 29 November 2018 07:03 (five years ago) link
This is much more to my liking than anything on Art Angels. Cautiously optimistic.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 29 November 2018 09:40 (five years ago) link
I haven't heard the song yet but this is a legit contender for creepiest ILM thread.
