toward the end of the month I always go to the first posts on the rolling US politics thread and it's fucking insane everything seems like it was ages ago and it was 28 days ago

Robin Pecknold called the couple "Grusk" on Instagram some weeks back. That was a hearty chuckle.

Mimes ftw

mimes would be preferable because then elon musk would not say words

Neither of them on great word-saying form tbfttl

good stuff

though this stuff torments me when ppl do it:

There’s other stuff we could get into, but a lot of it is rumor mill nonsense and I’m tryna get to lunch.

i need all the dumb bullshit!!!! don't bogart it!

Grimes is a 30-year-old musician who was born on the Canadian Internet to a lawyer mother. She went to McGill University, despite adopting the aesthetic of a crusty punk kid.

oh no, she committed the horrible sin of going to university and then acting like a punk, something 99% of kids that go to university do

this is gross. man fuck this invasive gossipy bullshit.

Yeah I haven't read the article but these excerpts sound not good

2013: Grimes deleted her Tumblr in 2013 after getting pissed off that the indie music press excerpted her blogs in news posts...even though that is how it works? And she’s very well aware? Because she’s an Internet musician? Or not, which would be concerning for a plethora of other reasons?

if this was someone writing about their ex i would advise them to see a restraining order. what is with this obsessive gossip shit

2009: A favorite tale in Grimes folklore is about the time Boucher attempted to sail down the Mississippi River on a 20-ft houseraft she crafted with a friend. They filled it with live chickens and potatoes and renamed themselves “Veruschka and Zelda Xox” for the voyage, according to Pitchfork. That’s some backwoods libertarian, white people wet dream shit if you ask me.

omg she did a silly thing with her friend in her early 20s, one more reason to hate this horrible person

OK, I didn't even know she was Canadian!

really hated the era of "hey we cobbled together a news story from grimes' tumblr"

what is with this obsessive gossip shit

it's called jezebel

Really awkward retconning of that river trip as "libertarian," ha

Real Grimes here. I know that sometimes people can date a billionaire. Dating a billionaire in the way I did was not a good thing. As such I thought of a cool way to make amends with anyone who feels offended.

What have we come to, in 2018, discussing celebrities’ lives when they’re not even in the same room

... not that a lot of this thread doesn’t dovetail with gross invasive fanboy tendencies ... but I also think there’s an overall interesting point about the rightward turn in the artworld that this doesn’t “prove” or even necessarily typify but at least seems connected to

Insane the amount of Montrealers who suddenly have a story of how they were at a house party and Grimes was just hanging there she was just this girl you know and now she's dating Musk holy shit can you believe it life's crazy etc.

sounds like the conversation you have over and over again after someone from high school dies

Anyway, completely rejoicing in the increasingly-consensus 180 degrees turn on her. People do care about authenticity and politics. Personally, that's a welcome confirmation.

perhaps she's changing authentically into Boss Grimes

Evidence of "people caring about authenticity and politics" is not particularly scarce at this moment, in the online space, IMO

CONGRATS MR AND MRS c!

🎊🎉🎇🎆🌠💫☀️🥦🌶🍅🍑🍆🍌🌽🥗🥅🏑🎹🚙🚄🏦💰💍🙈🇿🇦🇨🇦🇺🇸

my friend said her friend dated grimes in high school and she was a seriously shitty person. this has also been confirmed by a fairly major musician i know locally. i love grimes but yeah...

Well, I'm glad that's settled!

My best friend's sister's boyfriend's brother's girlfriend heard from this guy who knows this kid who's going with the girl who saw Grimes pass out at 31 Flavors last night. I guess it's pretty serious.

such a bummer when your favorite artist lives a life

such a bummer when high schoolers are shitty people

yeah i mean most of my favorite artists engage in anti-union propaganda at some point, just a stage in life you know?

lol dudes, funny pushback here...

i mean it is all heresy to me, i love grimes

every canadian is less than four degrees of separation from every other canadian iirc

lol fair

Ross is actually my cousin and clemenza is my uncle btw

Flopson is my nephew

every canadian is less than four degrees of separation from every other canadian iirc

also, if you've lived in Vancouver for more than a decade and are somehow not acquainted with Nardwuar and Grimes' mother then you should get out more.

Nardwuar was my roommate

That’s actually not true

h8 ppl who call themselves hardcore fans when they've never actually gone down the Mississippi with her in a ramshackle houseboat filled with chickens

I got a hug from Nardwuar (in TO) and I'm sure I heard Grimes stories in college (in Mtl). No chickens, tho

no chickens, no credibility

(I'm slightly jealous that you met Nardwuar, though)

did u go to mcgill or concordia simon?

im a degree or less away from s1ocki owen and robyn but have yet to meet any ilxors canadian or otherwise irl. one time i was listening to ‘roadrunner’ while alphabetizing my college radio stations record collection and robyn walked in and said ‘good song’

Diddley or Richman?

I went to concordia (and spent a few years at their radio stn)

Is she seriously giving bitcoins and eth for free or is that some meta joke I don’t get.

a bunch of twitter accounts with 'elon musk' as the display name were crypto botscammers, i think

2018 comes so close to being cyberpunk, yet so tragically far

It’s cyber-Social Distortion

flopson, I've been at that radio station :)

that is, assuming it was the mcgill one

it was :)

and i was listening to modern lovers
