Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

"I was kind of bullied into submission by Grimes and her team of self-proclaimed feminists"

Iconic sentence of 2018

fwiw grimes also followed mars argo recently

(background on that, which is a whole thing, and I'm not sure what to make of it besides the fact that virtually every dude involved in this either is or seems terrible https://www.polygon.com/2018/5/16/17346050/poppy-lawsuit-mars-argo-titanic-sinclair-youtube-explained)

Here’s a brief lesson in how context works.

*closes tab*

lol

LOL

when we're slidin' into first and we're feelin' something burst

Remember when Grimes made music, not drama?

Drama is way more lucrative

The information that we get about all these feuds are always so fragmentary. It’s impossible to figure out what actually happened.

Like what is the “disgusting situation” Poppy drew her into?

And what does it have to do with Grimes allegedly abusing NDA’s to deny credits to Poppy’s creative partners? Why would Grimes even do that for a track that was collaborative? Every single thing with Grimes is like this. Never clear.

And who was the “team of self proclaimed feminists”? Like a feminsit lawyer squad that Grimes has that behind the scenes try to discredit female artists? I didn’t know Grimes had one of these. And why doesn’t Poppy herself mention the artists she wanted to get credited?

People are going to take sides but no one even knows what the point of disagreement is.

That's called covering your own ass, no matter the cost. Rule #1 in the So You've Decided To Be a Neo-fascist phamplet.

See I don’t think there is a “fascist” plot behind this.

That seems weird and ridiculous.

Treesh r u still watching gilmore girls

You're taking all of this waaaay too seriously.

I can take stuff as seriously as I want, this is ILM

I just think a lot of discourse around Grimes circles around a void of unknowability.

Thought she was addressing George H.W. Bush in that note for a minute and was very confused

Yeah she dated george hw before elon

Oh word

I mean, everyone's free to make a fool of themselves in public. This is ILM.

Says the animaniac character

Whoa..you got me there! Har.

Why weren’t you threadbanned for your misogyny upthread

Say what you really mean, which is why wasn't I banned because you couldn't think of a clever response. I'll gladly ban myself from this circle jerk of creepy creeps.

every musician has drama, and tbh no one really knows what’s up (like did Sinatra kill JFK over a mob beef, maybe sure but who knows) and a lot of this Grimes drama has been at least publicly initiated by others.

fixed

yeah, i won't argue with that.

anyway the melody on the bridge is "give me all your luvin" (it's probably something else as well, that's just the one that was bugging me)

The 2012 Madonna song?

new board descrip etc

yeah, "backed up on a drive" vs. "dance our live away"

would assume grimes is referring to all the drama surrounding poppy and titanic sinclair etc. so it's not hard to believe her here

XP I thought Quincy Jones already spilled the beans on who killed JFK

thought this highlighted the trenchant social commentariness of the song in a bad way

Yeah the lyrics and dance are perhaps too forces but Hana was really good in this one. They both sound pretty good singing it, tbh.

Perhaps too good. Was that lip sync?

It wasn't lip synced but the live vocals are mostly buried under layers of prerecorded stuff and even the live guitar is super-low in the mix. Makes the performance toothless and boring. Whoever said this sounded like Reznor was otm. This would fit in well on the Fragile and I say that as a good thing.

does that song remind anyone else of money money money? like the pre-chorus ‘in my dreams i have a plan’ bit?

a cross between that and ‘enter the ninja’ maybe?
