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

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.

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!)

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."

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

i'll be back on board if this actually turns out to be her nu-metal pivot

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.
― Matt DC, Thursday, 29 November 2018 09:48 (five years ago) link
Agreed. It reads like a more sophisticated instantiation of 'why because she look interesting'.
― pomenitul, Thursday, 29 November 2018 09:55 (five years ago) link
Song rules.
― triggercut, Thursday, 29 November 2018 09:57 (five years ago) link
that is a hilarious song

― niels, Thursday, 29 November 2018 10:03 (five years ago) link
this is like a really chill Fear Factory ballad.
― Hmmmmm (jamiesummerz), Thursday, 29 November 2018 11:19 (five years ago) link
I wonder if the whole album will be about AI
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 29 November 2018 12:08 (five years ago) link
I also wonder if she believes AI is a true threat.
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 29 November 2018 12:10 (five years ago) link
Is this somehow going to tie in with Dirty Computer?
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 29 November 2018 13:11 (five years ago) link
Idk what that is.
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 29 November 2018 13:17 (five years ago) link
It's a concept album by Janelle Monae that came out earlier this year and featured a Grimes guest spot.
― Mario Meatwagon (Moodles), Thursday, 29 November 2018 13:22 (five years ago) link
Oh. My gut tells me no. A new Grimes album is a big event, I don’t think she’s make it a tie in to someone else’a project.
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 29 November 2018 13:28 (five years ago) link
Sci fi concept album seems like a really different lyrical direction. Art Angels would draw on some sci fi/magical realist imagery—especially kill v maim—but the narrative was fragmentary
― Trϵϵship, Thursday, 29 November 2018 13:38 (five years ago) link
This ine carries the concept through differently. It really is from the perspective of a girl group trying to propagandize for AI takeover

Haha yes!
I've got to say I was a big fan or ArtAngels but I really don't like this track.
