not the same as her mark of the witch jam, but pretty cool and depressing.

this song is amazing though. luckily a family member posted it along with family photos.

Here is PAMS' Swiszle package, Series 32 for WKLO. Trella Hart is the captivating lady with the amazing voice singing lead on many of the cuts. Trella's voice had a fascinating, (even sexy) "smokey" sort of quality. She was paired on many cuts with PAMS's answer to the Four Freshmen, here called the Good Timers.

pretty much all music "opinion" writing these days is presenting totally obvious, self-evident things as "revelations" because social justice
yeah the number of "if you don't like this / do like this, your politics are wrong" articles is really depressing but since the default mode of writing about music is now "this is how I felt as I listened," it's natural that this is what we'd get

I spent €8 on Uncut to read a dreadful feature that went on about the 'constellation of birthmarks' (read: freckles) on her face, and hit all these other marks mentioned above.

For a while it seemed like they were trying to distinguish themselves as sort of "above the fray", not too clickbaity, perhaps a little more literate than most sites, but not with articles like that.

It didn't have "sponsored post" on it at first. It had a byline. Of a writer who took to Twitter to angrily deny he had anything to do with it.

ha, that is only one article from a four part series
You’d think we’d run out of battery or grind to a halt. But two hours in and we were still at 71%. The system is designed to handle multi-tasking by balancing memory and processor resources efficiently. So we carried on, gliding from tab to tab like Sleaford Mods on a pub crawl. Juiced up and eager to keep the party going.

I just keep wondering if the funkiness is justified.

It’s like Grimes herself sings — I think — on “Flesh Without Blood”: “I have heard the mermaids singing, each to each/I do not think that they will sing to me/We have lingered in the chambers of the sea/By sea-girls wreathed with seaweed red and brown / Till human voices wake us, and we drown.”

Nah. It's like Grimes herself sings, "Your Highness, no ; things there are bad as ever ; Men pass their time in so much wretchedness, That I, in sooth, have not the heart to plague them."
― flyingtrain (sbahnhof), Thursday, 12 November 2015 22:05 (eight years ago) link
Wow I didn't even realize it was the Arcade Fire guy.
Prince is obviously a fine touchstone for talking about Grimes. “Can’t you see the enemy just isn’t me tonight?” she sings on “Butterfly,” and then sings about butterflies, possibly as a metaphor, though possibly as literally about butterflies. Classic Prince move — talking about himself, and the public view of him, but also just making freakin’ dance music, and also speaking his own religious language, and also talking about, I don’t know, gun violence? And trying to get in your pants if you want, baby, but is that really me uhh, oh reality is a, mmm, tikky tikky tikky tikky burntz burntz burntz.
