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.

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

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
― Tim F, Monday, 15 April 2013 10:20 (eleven years ago) link
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
― flamenco drop (lex pretend), Monday, 15 April 2013 10:20 (eleven years ago) link
Quiet lol at the slow transition from indifferent to "makes my skin crawl".

race to see who comes up wtih the first adorn / dr. morbius dn
― 乒乓, Monday, 15 April 2013 12:27 (eleven years ago) link
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.
― I have many lovely lacy nightgowns (contenderizer), Monday, 15 April 2013 12:30 (eleven years ago) link
yeah, adorbies is a gross word. also it's sort of condescending to call grimes "adorable", i feel like, maybe, even though she is.
― Pat Finn, Monday, 15 April 2013 13:15 (eleven years ago) link
definitely something that needs a lot more analysis, i think we can all agree on that

― Dr. Adorbius (mh), Monday, 15 April 2013 19:08 (eleven years ago) link
Adorbies is less condescending than adorable because it has ironic distance baked in

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.

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 :)
