new song with dj chris lake
it's not very good but it does have a ridiculous concept attached - NPC is an "AI girl group".
Members are infinite in number and can be voted in or out, except for core members such as the baby Warnymph. NPC are a vehicle for experimentation in new technologies as they become available such as generative characters and music, diff types of animation, ai assisted art as well as spiritual technology in that Grimes can create as other people in order to reduce the psychic pain of being in the public eye. NPC will hone the concepts of Art Angels and Miss Anthropocene, finally manifesting the endless characters in Grimes’ head. NPC can do all the things humans cannot. NPC will eventually be playable, customizable, and able to cater to each individual listener’s unique desires. Decentralized Popstardom. Made, not Born

new single co-produced by illangelo, it's ok. production is a big step in the right direction but the melody is pretty underwritten, the opposite problem of the last album
album seems to be titled book 1
seems like she's said a lot of goofy stuff on tiktok too of course

Actually would watch that sitcom: Chelsea Manning and Grimes as the couple, Elon Musk as the ex who comes over to play with the kids.

i probably would have been a huge grimes fan if she had just skipped musk and gone straight for manning. as it is idk, kind of seems like there was this trump era thing where hard-right conservatism was suddenly cool among celebs. hard to look past the people who associated themselves with it.

I still like Grimes’s music when I hear her music by accident but I no longer have any desire to put that music on, she’s just vile.

don't think grimes' politics are or have ever been 'hard-right conservatism', they've always just been incoherent techno-libertarianism. dating & defending musk wasn't really some big shift for her, just exposed exactly how incoherent her views were and made the progressive sheen fall off.
she really needs to stop talking to the media though

she describes herself as a capitalist democrat in the vanity fair interview so no

there’s a thing that can happen to your brain if you spend too many formative years in “free-thinking” communities in relatively socially liberal places that have academic/arts scenes imo
it used to be more of a hippie libertarian brain thing but it’s definitely evolved to techno-libertarianish crap

idk how HR was “cancelling” grimes in as much as the site had an ironic gossipy tone? this seems insanely ahistorical to apply that terminology

In a way that could be gross and sexist in the infuriating ironic way people hated about “hipsters” (is he skewering sexist tropes or just bluntly using them?)
The site had flashes of genius though. “Carles” was a pretty amazing literary creation
― treeship., Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:40 (two years ago) link
No i am agreeing with you
I might be old and saying “oh yeah I got cancelled for this” is just kind of jokey at this point too and I’m reading too much into 2022 Grimes interview statements!
ah, gotcha
Hipster Runoff was like a combination mirror of its audience (this is what you people like)/Mad magazine when I’d look at it, but yeah, the trope usage was a bizarre post-Vice “are we being ironic, or being ironic about irony, I can’t tell anymore” fiesta
― mh, Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:42 (two years ago) link
it doesn't even really make sense in a jokey sense, like if it was about her getting a little backlash to something she'd said or done then sure, but what she's talking about is just hipster runoff being """ironically""" pretty creepy/weird towards her while making fun of her (like carles was towards most female indie musicians)

After the HR section she goes on to say she also almost got cancelled for the “Vanessa” video because she dances on it and noone on indie danced on their videos.

I don't really post here anymore but the level of historical revisionism going on (everywhere, not just here) is fucking wild. this isn't a 7.6 pitchfork review or hard-hitting investigative journalism or the silenced brave truth of the intellectual dark web, this is "did her bangin bod have your predicted areola type? would you jack off to her video?", "what if I murdered Stevie Nicks and turned her into a skin suit so she'd need a restraining order," "what do you think about lolita icon tavi?", "would u grope this musician while crowdsurfing, should all female musicians be required to crowdsurf?", "let's take a break for some weird racist speculation about rappers dating people" level shit.
