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

three weeks pass...

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

I guess we've all decided to ignore this new Vanity Fair cover article. Probably wise.

Exa Dark Sideræl Musk Is a great name, although maybe for a teenager rather than an infant

this new soap opera is wild

mh, Friday, 11 March 2022 18:55 (two years ago) link

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.

o. nate, Friday, 11 March 2022 19:33 (two years ago) link

I was gonna say we should all take a 2 year moratorium from ever hearing about this woman but Chelsea Manning wow

"Player of Games" being yr favorite Culture novel is a red-flag imho

chr1sb3singer, Friday, 11 March 2022 19:53 (two years ago) link

Mostly cuz I know it's Musk's

"leaker" - can't we keep her medical problems out of this?

StanM, Saturday, 12 March 2022 20:45 (two years ago) link

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.

also i hope jaime brooks is doing well

aegis philbin (crüt), Monday, 14 March 2022 19:38 (two years ago) link

I will always love grimes. Remember that song “vanessa”?

treeship., Monday, 14 March 2022 23:01 (two years ago) link

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.

Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Tuesday, 15 March 2022 00:01 (two years ago) link

could be worse, she could decide to attend h1llsong church after this

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

flopson, Tuesday, 15 March 2022 03:29 (two years ago) link

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

video link

oh the embedder doesn't like youtube's new clips feature yet

admitting to being behind ddosing & blackmailing hipster runoff in 2012 seems very unwise even for her

ufo, Thursday, 24 March 2022 00:10 (two years ago) link

Well, we can definitely tack that on the end of that "Grimes oversharing" youtube comp.

Wow that is crazy

treeship., Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:34 (two years ago) link

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

mh, Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:34 (two years ago) link

Hipster Runoff was making fun of grimes

treeship., Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:35 (two years ago) link

is making fun of someone cancelling them

mh, Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:36 (two years ago) link

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

treeship., Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:40 (two years ago) link

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)

ufo, Thursday, 24 March 2022 01:59 (two years ago) link

true crime podcast but it's figuring out who her video game dev friend is

Wow

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.

✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 24 March 2022 04:49 (two years ago) link

imagine the magazines sonic youth could've crushed with their voltron power.

Western® with Bacon Flavor, Thursday, 24 March 2022 07:07 (two years ago) link

Maybe she just doesn’t know what cancelled means.

treeship., Thursday, 24 March 2022 11:38 (two years ago) link

Or dignity

Tsar Bombadil (James Morrison), Thursday, 24 March 2022 11:56 (two years ago) link

cancelled is when people say things about you that you don’t like

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.
