imo it’s weird that you never got the sense that titanic sinclair himself is abusive

This is Titanic Sinclair's brother speaking at length on the whole thing. He has more experience with Mars Argo than Poppy, but he knows Poppy fairly well. I understand it's his brother and fairly biased, but the details are not flattering.

no he's a middle aged man who has decided to come down hard on the side of an alleged abuser in a "he said she said" situation where there's 2 shes and one he

What are you, the queen of England? You say you don't have time to learn the truth about Poppy? OK, keep your head in the sand.

idk considering the "truth" you've provided so far (a one-paragraph four-page monologue by an alleged abuser's brother) i think it's more likely your head stuck in wet cement

Damn, this album is good. Lots of crowd pleasing nods to pop history but every song is coherent within itself. The vocals hold everything together beautifully.

saw her last night in boston with ilx godfather tom e., the first of two sold out shows at a 475-cap venue near my apartment. it was great, the crowd was bonkers, and the tatu cover ruled

Given Grimes' words dealing with Poppy/Sinclair et al, I definitely feel some sympathy to the brother's side of the story. Having loosely followed this drama over the years, I felt they were both shitty people. Poppy's comments exposing Sinclair's attempting suicide and its impact on the family (stated by his brother) is BS, and reprehensible. It's certainly not the first time this sort of thing has happened in Hollywood. That said, drama aside, the video/song is good. What Poppy does moving forward will be interesting.
Perhaps Titanic Sinclair should change his name? He's probably ostracized at this point though. For everyone automatically alleging his status as an abuser, take a minute to also truly internalize the perspective his brother states above (despite his lack of carriage returns; it was Reddit, you need two there).
FWIW all the drama is a classic case of "don't shit where you eat"

I have to admit I’m not shedding any tears for Titanic Sinclair here.

I'm not either, but I also don't shed any for Poppy.
― octobeard, Thursday, 6 February 2020 01:02 (four years ago) link
just fyi it's not unusual at all for abusers to engage in suicidal threats and actions in an attempt to control a person
it's also fine for a survivor to talk about this happening to them

all four new songs out today on the deluxe edition of i disagree really rule, especially "if it bleeds"

it always amazed me what a great song "all the things she said" is. this version is good too.
― treeship., Friday, 14 August 2020 13:08 (three years ago) link
tatu was such a creepy "concept" for a girl group. but you just can't argue with that synth breakdown part.
― treeship., Friday, 14 August 2020 13:09 (three years ago) link
some googling reveals that "all the things she said" was co-written and produced by trevor horn of the buggles. interesting.
