Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

just the idea that it's 'disturbing' is disturbing

Blood Diamonds is actually working on the new Madonna album lol

One Direction is a group put together 4 years ago on a British TV show, comparing that to Madonna is pretty silly.

Blood Diamonds is actually working on the new Madonna album lol

Apart from that being hilarious all this now makes a lot more sense

Wait...

Ugh this is horrible moves from all involved. This is not what twitter is good at.

it's disturbing that we can all spend as much time on the internet as we all clearly do while still working full-time or holding down other life responsibilities but pretend that it's totally weird and unnatural for famous people

you're right, i apologize, it doesn't make sense since she is working on music constantly. 'disturbing' isn't the right word, more like disappointing, bc i want to hear new grimes. i feel the same way about isaac brock but he's had seven fucking years

and he never tweets hmmmm it's almost like there's absolutely no relationship between social media presence and artistic productivity

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank was the best MM album and probably found Brock at his ceiling as a songwriter, and he probably knows it, so don't wish for an album that's only going to disappoint you.

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank was the best MM album

say what bruh??

I am king challop when it comes to MM and I know it.

i could see that. it's a damn good record, better than good news, more rocking, less tom waits

we were dead is probably my favorite modest mouse album, but the idea that the lack of follow-up comes from isaac brock thinking he couldn't possibly top it so why bother, rather a mix of indifference on his part and interscope's, is pretty funny

"and then johnny marr left and i was like, well fuuuuuuuck how could i ever write another 'dashboard' my work here on earth is done"

whoops they're on epic or were, who knows at this point

they have a handful of new songs like "Shit in Your Cut" they've been playing live for years now, none of them sound very good

it's definitely possible that he knows he'll never make as much in royalties again

lonesome crowded west c'mon y'all...

Oh, I was only kidding about him contemplating his limitations after the last album. Maybe dude's just not into writing that much anymore.

all the LP's are too bloated by about 3-4 songs, imo Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks is their best release front to back

Night on the Sun is best jam

It's a mark of how bad this thread had become that the swerve into Modest Mouse discussion actually seems like a slight improvement.

oh man, "You're the Good Things," "Here it Comes," the extended "I Came as a Rat".... totally classic. i know ILX hates modest mouse for the most part

4:40 in this video, Grimes talking about Madonna: "..even though she sucks now".

-LOL-

whoops

i think the issue was the way ariel pink discounted madonna, criticizing her for trying to hold onto her faded youth and that her work needs more substance -- "sugar in the mac and cheese" -- from male songwriters such as himself. he didn't just say "i haven't been too enthusiastic about madonna's recent efforts" or something.

post from that Grimes video

that said, and i will say it again, ariel pink doesn't know what he is saying because he is a weird, crazy guy who spent his twenties in his parent's basement.

also ariel gets no benefit of the doubt after that sexist shit he was saying about that girl he took home in that one video, that was low shit

idk, i think people are leaping to that reading given all of his other press where he said dumb/offensive things in a deadpan way, for some reason, but saying madonna's music lacks substance these days/for many years, isn't a controversial opinion is it? he exaggerates wildly though by saying she's been shit since before Like a Virgin and putting sugar in mac and cheese would ever be acceptable.

he's trolling because he has a record coming out in november

xpost yea in that same "i got maced by a feminist" bullshit interview, he says that gay sex "isn't really sex"
he's not a bigot, just really cynical 'playing the heel'

what a disaster for the self-aware heel if he's mistaken for a misogynist

He's not a bigot he's just using hurtful language in a trolling way to get a rise out of people? Call me cray but I think that makes him a bigot nonetheless.

Actually remove "nonetheless" there

saying bigoted shit to "troll" is as bigoted as saying it because you "mean it"

xp

Can't imagine Grimes reasons for saying "Madonna sucks now" in that video were much or any different from Ariel Pinks, i.e, the same opinion of everybody on why she sucks now.

we've reached the "are people who still claim the issue was ariel saying madonna's music ain't good now trolling or genuinely clueless" portion of the thread

There are like 8million people ITT and the other one going "IDGI, what's wrong with saying Madonna sucks now?" as if that's the problem, rather than the wording of his statement.

yeah this is frustrating

there's just something so goofy about the "woah, woah, the guy who casually says sexist shit may be a jerk, but that doesn't mean he's a real-deal, dyed-in-the-wool, my-woman-belongs-in-the-kitchen SEXIST" argument, as if it's important everyone be really delicate and careful in our estimation of egomaniacs who clearly don't give a fuck

Never underestimate the ability of people to not understand things they don't really want to understand.

lol @ analysing and interpreting the wording of something arial pink says in an interview

he said she should stop gyrating like shes 20. call it ageist if you want, but still no one has bothered explained why it's sexist, let alone misogynist.

+ I would actually find a dismissive "even though she sucks now" as far 'offensive' than what Ariel said, personally.

because men are not generally subject to the same type of ageism

RT: You're wrong, re-read the thread. Nobody owes you any further explanation you worthless troll.

- some of the arguments itt are being supported w/citations from youtube comments threads

people getting angry over this haha

Life, Liberty, Property and the ability to gyrate at any age.

people getting angry over this haha

I am not angry. I am stating calmly and clearly, that what you write is factually wrong, and that you are a worthless troll. This isn't anger, this is fact. You have nothing to contribute, and you're wasting everyones time. So, quite frankly, shut up.
