I posted that to Facebook I think and got about as much engagement there as you got with it here.

No mention of the tour with Lana Del Rey yet? Would have been great if it was Lana del Rey, Grimes, and Courtney Love all together on one bill.

grimes is rare almost holy trifecta of good on twitter/good on instagram/good on tumblr

for a celeb her twitter is good, and personal, not just a PR arm. it's a mixture of

but occasionally this

So still no release date for the new album ?3 years is a very long time to follow up a successful first album (ok, still far from Stone Roses timing but still !)

it was her third album

very different from realiti, but still good. i might even like it more? idk. deserves more attention than i feel like it got, but then again people seemed to have forgotten about realiti not too long after it was released

which is probably true about most songs people like on the internet in 2015
That link isn't working for me, what's the song called?
― sonic thedgehod (albvivertine), Sunday, 3 May 2015 23:13 (eight years ago) link
good song, weird comment section. I don't understand why so many fans feel betrayed whenever she releases something that isn't particularly weird/dark/experimental, as if a mnstrm pop song by Grimes is the equivalent of one of those Dune sequels written by Frank Herbert's son — "this isn't canon!" I didn't like 'Go' when I first heard it last year, but I didn't have a tantrum about how it was an ~unwise career move~ or whatever, and I don't want/expect everything on her next album to sound just like 'Realiti'.
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Sunday, 3 May 2015 23:27 (eight years ago) link
(the song is Bleachers x Grimes 'Entropy', albvivertine)
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Sunday, 3 May 2015 23:28 (eight years ago) link
perhaps i'm not discerning, or being immersed in ilm for so many years has made me less conscious of the genre of whatever song i'm listening to, but i don't really give a shit what kind of music she makes as long as it's good, and all of these one offs are good imo. her voice on "entropy" is fantastic.
― markers, Sunday, 3 May 2015 23:34 (eight years ago) link
I basically agree with all that, though I still haven't come around to 'Go'. of all the artists I currently follow, Grimes is the one I'm least eager to read reviews/comments/thinkpieces/ilx clusterfucks about (which are pretty easy to ignore, tbh). she really does sound great in this song.

Grimes rules can't wait to hear whatever she does.

unfortunately, i barely care about music at this point in my life -- something i need to remedy, but i still follow her career

have they? i haven't rly been paying attention to the zeitgeist but i think i would be comfortable calling "realiti" the best song grimes has ever made

xpost - I'm sort of the opposite: at this point I wish I were slightly less obsessed with music so that I'd have more time & energy for hobbies. too much of my life is spent buying/slsking/listening to/reading about music out of habit because that's how I've spent large chunks of my free time since I was a teenager. maybe I should try speed-reading Knausgaard for a change?

*other hobbies

monotony: at least as far as ilxors go, i feel like people expressed positive feelings about it for a very brief period of time -- maybe a day -- and then i don't really recall many people, if anyone, mentioning it again, but they may have, and people outside of ilx might have been talking about it for a longer period of time, but, again, there's always new music coming out and how long are people going to spend focused on one song anyway
unreg: do whatever makes you happy! i don't know what happened to me and music, but i've just been much more into reading lately. actually, i kind of fell off the music bandwagon years ago, unfortunately... which is weird because i used to spend a lot of money on records. i kind of think i should get back into it, but i'm not even that really amped to do so
― markers, Monday, 4 May 2015 01:02 (eight years ago) link
I'll be happy if I can just make it through the last ≈150 pages of Lilith's Brood (which I've been waffling over for about a week now). in my experience the worst thing you can do when you begin losing interest in books/music is to deliberately work your way through a required reading/listening list. I still get burned out on music occasionally, but it's nowhere near as bad as it was when I made an effort to keep up with new releases. (of course there are some artists I'll want to follow in real time no matter how scattered my listening habits become...)
― the geographibebebe (unregistered), Monday, 4 May 2015 01:52 (eight years ago) link
"realiti" is my favorite song of the year so far (probably will be my #1 by the end of the year) and i listen to it at least once every day
― j. winters (josh), Monday, 4 May 2015 02:15 (eight years ago) link
i think people are going to kill us for going off topic, so i'll just tie this up by saying that if i don't force myself to sit down and listen to music sometime soon it's really possible that the majority of my listening is going to be whatever i hear on the radio when i'm in the car. i barely listen to music at home. sometimes in the morning when i'm cleaning. that's it. it's insane compared to what it was when i was in college, but that's where it's at, and i don't know how that changes without some sort of concerted effort

That is cool you should not feel pressured to listen to music, I think nowadays there is so much music, if you go anywhere public you are inundated with music, it is nice to take a break now and then. Plus, when you hear something that you are really into, it will be all that much more special!
― ©Oz Quiz© (Adam Bruneau), Monday, 4 May 2015 02:31 (eight years ago) link
Yah, love REALiTi, definitely one of the tracks of the year imo. It's difficult to know how register whether people are talking about it or not. It regularly appears on the ILM 2015 faves thread for whatever that's worth.
― MikoMcha, Monday, 4 May 2015 08:00 (eight years ago) link
i'd say it easily garnered the most enthusiasm and positive consensus of any song she's released from people i follow on twitter. i'm sure people will continue talking about it once the infrastructure surrounding the upcoming album comes out.
― j. winters (josh), Monday, 4 May 2015 08:09 (eight years ago) link
yeahhh i feel like "reaiti" left a lasting impression for sure. comfortably on track to make my 2k15 songs list
