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.

are you his brother

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

I honestly don't have time to parse all that text

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

lol

can i buy a carriage return, damn

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

Jealous, what Tatu did she cover?

she's been doing "all the things she said"

that is the only tatu song anyone knows and was my cast-iron assumption tbf

anyone who doesn't live in a house of russian-language pop

Would have preferred Not Gonna Get Us

that's the other only one people know

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... would not take grimes’ word on anyone

anyway

for the record (Grimes' beefs were all business)

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.

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"

she also released a studio version of her "all the things she said" cover a few months ago

it always amazed me what a great song "all the things she said" is. this version is good too.

tatu was such a creepy "concept" for a girl group. but you just can't argue with that synth breakdown part.

some googling reveals that "all the things she said" was co-written and produced by trevor horn of the buggles. interesting.

also did a cover of the original pokemon theme song??

chewy chewy yummy yummy yummy
sharp and pointy yummy yummy yummy

My top artist this year according to Spotify and one of her top 0.5% listeners, proud to serve

"I Disagree" and "Concrete" both cracked my top 100, no small feat.

Was "Concrete" in last year's songs poll? I'd like to vote for it this year.

Most romantic song since "Agoraphobia."

i don't think anyone voted for "concrete" last year, now is the time

yes

oh yeah I'm definitely voting for concrete as well as the album

no longer worried about what the next poppy record is gonna sound like

those vocals!!

hell yeah this rules

what reason was there to be worried

idk the acoustic christmas ep had me wondering, is all

i didn't really expect that to be representative of anything in the same way that i wasn't expecting the impressively bad noise EP she put out last year to be either

this rrrrrips

i cannot stop listening to it

as with most of i disagree this feels like it was born right out of my brain

its really nice to have someone making heavy music calibrated to exactly what i want from it

lol she lost the grammy to ice-t

but yeah the last album was very good and this is too! she's really upped her game a lot! i am amused that she is opting for a St Vincent look here.

Huh. I don't mind what I've heard from Poppy at all but this performance is kind of a sweet/sour-spot blend of "I'm enjoying this" and "This is calibrated to sound like the guitar is a mosquito tied down to a splinter and shoved into my ear."
