Pretty Dark isn’t a bad song.

you have to admit this absolutely shits on wahlberg's normie efforts

Words to live by.

at this point i can't tell how much of that is like 'in character' or not

Using regiment to mean regimen is just one of those things that really pisses me off.

Eheh, that is "American Psycho" level freaky (not the psycho killer part, eh) !

I don't believe her about the surgery

assume the whole thing is just trolling right?

I think the term "trolling" doesn't give her enough credit for a very self-aware (and pretty hilarious) post.

“Astro-glide” lmfao

otm

Tbh rich ppl lifestyle habits are parody-proof at this point so who even knows what % of this is a joke

yes but this is a v obvious joke

Injecting the blood of the young read like a too-on-the-nose joke too

lmao @ “an orange ultra flex polymer”

v defensive

i dunno. never having to configure blue light filters on screens again.... pretty handy stuff

It's a joke, but it's a mid-season Black Mirror episode of joke. Or one I can see her making a lot better two years ago.

Man this is embarrassing.

You mean people taking it literally?

^

That must be yeah.

But I think we are ready to move past ‘trolling as humour’ culture.

as a troll this is p harmless. and actually funny.

Agreed it’s harmless, its really cringy if you don’t find it funny. Different strokes!

It's all fun and games until someone jabs their corneas.

so wheres the music

you're so fleshbrained, flappy, this IS the new music

She ditched the album after being blown away by the ILM pre-cover version.

one must be laminated to hear it

The Guardian is on it: https://www.theguardian.com/music/shortcuts/2019/jul/17/peeled-eyeballs-isolation-tanks-and-neuroplastic-goals-is-grimess-training-regime-for-real

I read it as serious
Either way Adidas is getting their money’s worth

It's the latest avatar of the yanny/laurel controversy.

first single September 13

Lol nvm, she deleted the post

Great. Cause everyone was wondering.

I almost never think about Grimes and I'm not really a fan, but the other day "Kill V. Maim" came on in a mix and it struck me as very emblematic of its time. I would definitely put it on an end-of-decade mix.

I've always looked at music criticism, reviews, message boards, etc. as a way of finding and rediscovering music without giving any weight at all to the opinions behind the writing. I kinda sift through the opinions for keywords or phrases that are suited to my taste or warn me that I probably won't be into the music being discussed. The idea that someone can interpret a song, or any art for that matter, and bludgeon everyone else with that interpretation seems pretty dickish.

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.

wow seriously homie what horrible thing did she say to you when you found out her address through a shady private detective and showed up at her front door with flowers and a handgun

I think bringing Comedy Bang-Bang into this is just what this album cycle needed.

on a tangential note, should I check out Nicole Dollanganger’s music and catch her live show? noticed she’s playing her locally pretty soon and I know Grimes has boosted her

xpost

It's not her I have an issue with at all. We actually share a ton in common, especially when it comes to dating and being openly hypocritical. It's her disugsting fans that make my skin crawl. The way you guys infantalize this grown woman is an assault on my senses. Grimes is a-ok in my book.

no it clearly is her you have an issue with

freak

Hmmm. Name-calling? Ok.
