Grimes the musician has always been bad, it just took a little while for Grimes the person to catch up

Why do gay people hate aircraft?― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Tuesday, January 2, 2024 2:17 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink
― Beyond Goo and Evol (President Keyes), Tuesday, January 2, 2024 2:17 PM (yesterday) bookmarkflaglink
I think what she's trying to say is that she identifies as a middle-aged white man because she likes aircraft, an interest associated with middle-aged white men. But because she is also sexually or romantically attracted to men, that makes her gay. It's strongly reminiscent of "I identify as an attack helicopter" transphobic bullshit if not just a straight-up dog whistle to that point.
I 'm going to see if my local record store will take a trade-in on my copy of Art Angels. I've been holding on to it because I like the music and she's already got my money from it. But every time I look at the spine, I get angry. Not holding my breath for a Claire Boucher redemption story at this point.

She wrote a paragraph to recreate the "lesbian trapped in a man's body" Spencer's Gifts t-shirt.

But that t-shirt is sort of funny and doesn’t seem ill-intended unlike her tweet.

there are formulations of anti/post humanism which are actually radical (for better or worse) and aren't just the ruling class dressing up their racist capitalist nihilism as something new and rebellious but of course this version is what has taken off. fuck the world

but it's a conversation for another thread (and connects to j. epstein's creepy "transhumanism"). i hate this person and her lame music and opinions so won't keep posting here

the only way "back" for her is to ditch all that stuff and rebrand as "claire."

which is a nice name, actually.
perhaps her riverboat alias, Veruschka

She would certainly agree that Marconi's innovations in Mamba playing are among the peaks of white civilization

is she finally enough of a nazi now that the music press won't cover her at all because she put out some garbage 'nightcore remix' version of one of her old albums last week and i only just found out by accident
― ufo, Thursday, 7 March 2024 07:39 (six months ago) link
I think it's a little of column A and a little of column B, the latter being "what the fuck is a nightcore remix", also I could be wrong but no one really reported/gave a shit that Daft Punk put out that "drumless edition" of Random Access Memories either
― Murgatroid, Thursday, 7 March 2024 12:12 (six months ago) link
well shit I'll listen to a drumless edition of R.A.M. thanks Murgatroid

pitchfork reviewed that drumless RAM fwiw
― rob, Thursday, 7 March 2024 15:17 (six months ago) link
As lazy as the drumless version of RAM is it probably took more time that this “nightcore” remix. I haven’t listened -or intend to do it ever - but for those unaware “nightcore” just means a sped up and higher pitched version of a song:https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nightcore
So she probably did this in like 15 mins and called it a day.

No wonder why noone is taking a minute to review it or even mention it.
― ✖✖✖ (Moka), Thursday, 7 March 2024 15:38 (six months ago) link
well.
i guess i should say _something_ here.
lame move to stay relevant? most likely. kinda worked on me tho, because it prompted me to go back to the original album.
and she was definitely onto something else for a minute back then. the world really is a weird place. what did any of this music mean back then? i don't think it's for me to know, but it always sounded fucking great in every situation. it wasn't my soundtrack, it was my smarter friend also realizing we're lost again, but being... well, more intelligent than me. yeah, i agree! let's go this way!
idk. i might listen to the nightcore version, but this music has already tormented me enough.
weird how a subconscious works+experiencing her music as a multiple. what a wonderful hiding place. she never did break my heart in the dark.👋🏻

I thought she was brilliant in the Visions - Art Angels run, enjoyed that period a lot. Hard to revisit now.
― assert (matttkkkk), Thursday, 7 March 2024 18:00 (six months ago) link
considering it's the album that has a bunch of Dune references, she probably thought she'd hijack some attention
good try, Grehms

I’m not ever claiming to be more intelligent than anyone but C just loves memes and tropes and would love to just meme and trope her way along. And a fair bit of that was recording an album with dune-themed titles while not eating or sleeping

Yeah that album was made 14 years ago and a lot has changed since then, hasn’t it?
This is no longer an “oh so kooky” indie musician shitposting on her tumblr. This is a grown-ass woman saying the child she had with one of the richest assholes on the planet is like the fascist messiah that was promised or whatever.
She might be joking but it’s easy to see why people would be rolling their eyes at that idea nowadays.

I've talked too much about it with friends already, but there was a strong air of "I started the assignment a couple hours before it was due" to the entire thing
the dj fuckups did manage to obscure coverage of the phenomenally bad AI-generated video art, though! there was some point where she was blending music from the score of Tenet (?) into some EDM song she'd sung over, and the video appeared to be an AI-generated death of Julius Caesar or something
