Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

For me it's the gaggle of Grimeses chattering out each line, and the run from Crystal Ball (track 5) through Symphonia IX (8). Really captures that late-night euphoric feeling.

Oh yeah, I think Vowels = Space and Time is within that stretch of tracks, and that is my number one most played song on itunes. That song especially, but many of the others too, has an R&B "warmth" to it that I think is really captivating, and somewhat unexpected among the other sounds in her toolkit. But yeah, I do agree with you that there is something very nocturnal about the sound of this album, and even "depersonalized" in the way darkness/sleep/danceclubs can be, but the album is still...somehow... i guess the word is "intimate", and very personal. I guess I can tell this is a personal album, or at least one that is personally meaningful to me, because Grimes is one of the few artists where I get bummed out when I hear her criticized.

sweet.

adorbies

i mean, katy perry is otm. grimes is super endearing.

'adorbies'? fucking hell i hate this world. embarrassing.

it's an apt word for grimes tbh

just let my love adorbz u

perhaps, but isn't it a little undignified to see an adult use that kind of work?

I don't think lex disagrees with you

yes that's what i was getting at

it's a horrible word that makes my skin crawl and is entirely appropriate in this case

Quiet lol at the slow transition from indifferent to "makes my skin crawl".

the dignity of katy perry

just let my love adorbz u

race to see who comes up wtih the first adorn / dr. morbius dn

dammit, was coming here to post "adorbius" in response to lex's grousing

anyway, you can hardly fault katy's use of the word. language very much in character.

yeah, adorbies is a gross word. also it's sort of condescending to call grimes "adorable", i feel like, maybe, even though she is.

definitely something that needs a lot more analysis, i think we can all agree on that

I need further evidence, maybe a video clip of ms. perry dancing to grimes' set

lactating forth the lyrics to oblivion in letters of flame

you saw that katy perry video where fireworks shoot out of her breasts too, huh?

damn, you're on a roll today, huh?

going for the brass zing and shit. adorbies.

Adorbies: sometimes you don't even have to say a (real) word to enrage thousands

now you've done it

anyone else notice "right meow" replacing "right now" w/ young women on the internet or is that just my friends

real people don't say that

isn't that from Super Troopers or something?

yup!

Adorbies is less condescending than adorable because it has ironic distance baked in

"right meow" is totes adorblez

and by "adorblez" you mean revolting, i assume

I'll let you make that call

Oblivion worked great for my morning running today

i think the songs "vanessa" and "crystal ball" from darkbloom, the collaborative album she did with d'Eon, would be ideal for running. this is just speculation though because i don't really exercise.

oh come on

irl lol though

:-)

hah Right Meow! Quick, someone do a Van Halen/Internet cats mashup

everything she writes on her tumblr is awesome and makes me wish i could stand her music

Man, she's a hero.

!

Yeah, I hope that lots and lots of people are listening to her and thinking about what she's saying.

i love her so much

she's just the best.

i dont want to be molested at shows or on the street by people who perceive me as an object that exists for their personal satisfaction

just for everyone who is expressing concern about a few things that weren’t super clear in my last tumblr post:

a) meeting fans is actually incredibly rewarding for me so im gonna keep doing that and if u see me on the street its like, totally fine to say hi :)

do these reconcile?

yes

everything she writes on her tumblr is awesome and makes me wish i could stand her music
