why do Grimes fans live in such denial?
she had a great thing going on and then she completely sold out to Jay-Z's illuminati cock
>she will never make a great album again
at least we have Jessy Lanza, even tho prime Grimes was better imo
Does anyone have the full and readable article?
It's clearly from NME, but i only found the small sized version
>>66103667
>sold out
lol just because she's bigger than Ariel Pink, doesn't mean she's sold out. Claire is Master of her own art. H8ers really need to go to Hell.
>>66103749
>>66103667
>yet AA is basic bubblegum pop
Wot? It's great pop, not bubblegum pop. And def. not basic, there's a lot of stuff going on these tracks.
>she had a great thing going on and then she completely sold out to Jay-Z's illuminati cock
You're stupid. She signed to Roc Nation (mgmt company) but she has complete artistic freedom. She does whatever she wants in terms of music.
>at least we have Jessy Lanza, even tho prime Grimes was better imo
Jessy Lanza, that one that delivered a boring album quite recently? If you want to be a hipster go on, listen to that boring ass music and let the people with good taste to listen to Grimes (which is way more exciting).
>>66103760
Plus Claire always loved pop music and she did a pop masterpiece (Art Angels). Not only that she earned a lot of fans and critical acclaim but her live shows became really energetic and exciting. These AA songs fit perfectly on her live shows. Just see her Glastonbury performance on the BBC site.

>1. Julia Holter: Ekstasis
Grimes confirmed master patrician
>>66104408
>A fairly regular Vancouver kid, with interests like anime, Harry Potter and Mariah Carey, it was during her adolescence that, as Garossino puts it, “something very strange happened.”
>“She changed into some kind of super-brain, exploring the internet all the time.”
>Teenage Boucher’s obsessions ranged from space travel, to the twelfth-century composer Abbess Hildegard von Bingen, to Russian existentialist lit. She crushed so hard on Dostoyevsky that she even flew to St. Petersburg to attend an intensive Russian immersion.
>But as with Grimes’ music, Boucher preferred autodidactism. Garossino recalls hearing Boucher teach one of Chopin’s nocturnes to herself, bar by bar. But only through the wall—at the time, Boucher had too much stage fright to even play the piano in front of her mother.
>“Something that people don't understand about Claire is her searing intellect and focus,” Garossino said. “Whenever you think you've figured her out, she's already three moves ahead. Things are never what they seem.”
>Her mother related how at McGill, the wunderkind wanted to take physics, but couldn’t stand introductory courses. Instead, Boucher entered higher-level classes and studied the prerequisite material at the same time. “She would nearly kill herself studying—surviving on almost no sleep for weeks at a time.”
>“And that's how she makes music today. In long, solitary blasts of blistering intensity.”
>>66104588
all that and she goes and makes pleb shit like art angels tf who wrote this xd
>>66104653
Art Angels is patrician pop. It's so much above the mainstream pop, it's ridiculous. Patrician means special, so if you think that AA is pleb (common), name a similar album. Now.
>inb4 pop isn't patrician
>>66104653
>all that and she goes and makes pleb shit like art angels tf who wrote this xd
The song 'Easily' is a direct lyrical adaptation of the ending scene from Eugene Onegin. Please define 'pleb'.
>tf who wrote this
Her mother, you idiot. It's an excerpt from an article: http://www.vancouverobserver.com/blogs/music/growing-grimes
>>66104753
patrician pop is not a genre, you just tacked the word patrician on, which by the way does not mean "special." It comes from the root patr- which entailed having a noble father.
>Please define 'pleb'.
I think he defines it as stuff he doesn't like. He doesn't like AA, it must be pleb. Way too many morons think about themselves they're patricians when they're actually the plebiest of plebs.
>>66104753
>patrician pop is not a genre, you just tacked the word patrician on, which by the way does not mean "special." It comes from the root patr- which entailed having a noble father.
Did I say it's a genre? It's just a description. Actually there's no genre containing the word patrician, so your point is invalid.
Art Angels is great, but it's her worst
>>66104953
It's her second best after Visions.

>>66103594
>Carly is too mainstream / poppy
You have to be popular to be that.
>>66106017
You missed the point: that it's not her entire taste, just a small part of it. Unlike you, Grimes is honest about her music taste; she also likes Aphex Twin, Cocteau Twins, The KLF, Depeche Mode, Smashing Pumpkins, Beyonce, Lana Del Rey, Outkast, Panda Bear, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Tool, kpop, Skinny Puppy, Nine Inch Nails, Drake, Mariah Carey. A real patrician is confident and doesn't give a fuck about other's opinions about their taste.
>>66106088

Entry level? Are you fucking kidding me? How many regular people are listening to all these artists? That is good music regardless of your opinions. To be a patrician it's not required to listen to obscure shit no one ever heard of. Patrician =/= hipster.
Forgot about this: that it's just the tip of the iceberg. Here's a more detailed view of her taste: http://www.last.fm/user/chairmandore/library

Saw her live this past May. Had to leave early cause Denzel Curry was playing at the same time, but it was a great show! Definitely a highlight and one of the best shows I've been to this year.
>>66106160
>still proving my point that she is a filthy pleb
Cheap trolling. You don't believe that. Just how many girls do you know that are listening to Fennesz, Madlib, Autechre, Broadcast and Russian classical music?
>>66106160
>“One of the most intense experiences of my life was when, do you know Arvo Pärt? I did acid and I put on his album and I climbed the mountain [Montreal’s central Mount Royal] and it was in like, four feet of snow, and it was the most glorious life-changing experience of my life. I climbed straight up, and I hurt myself; I was covered in blood when I came down. I was soaking wet and covered in blood and people were just staring at me but it was like…cause I was climbing on the rocks, cause I just climbed straight up and I was falling and it was cold so I couldn’t feel it, so I was like cutting myself on everything.”
why is she so perfect?
patrician-non patrician are stupid things that /mu/ and /lit/ seem obsessed with
she's way above that
>>66106160
>why is she so perfect?
No one is like her. Many /mu/tants hate her because she's truly patrician unlike them who are plebs pretending to be patricians. Isn't funny that a girl outsmarted all these hipsters?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5T719PNbuPg
>>66106235
I don't listen to really obscure shit either, but come on, don't call that patrician, she doesn't even listen to metal and there's almost no jazz. Taste discarded.
>>66106348
I stopped shitting on mainstream music since I heard her opinion on the matter, she's so right about it
>>66106365
>listening to metal
>good taste
lmaaaaaaao
>she doesn't even listen to metal and there's almost no jazz. Taste discarded.
Metal is pleb af and she listens to a bit of jazz. Not much, but still. I don't think she truly hates a genre. She even likes country.
Grimes is not that kind of person who shoves her taste in your face. She likes a lot of stuff ranging from cheesy/uncool to avantgarde/sophisticated. She's pretty open minded about music.
>>66106362
Nasty
>>66106362
Funny. She feels the music so much.
>>66106394
>metal
>bad
discarding genres is what a true pleb does
>>66106394
Get a clue you moron. There's a huge world of music in metal you're missing because you're too lazy to appreciate it.

Repost from a previous thread:
>'[...] for me it’s not a contradiction to con- sume both high culture and Harry Potter or some Japanese mangas. Pop art still appeals to me the most. I guess it has to do with the way I grew up in the 2000s. I like to see a film like Kill Bill as much as I do like watching Solaris. Both experiences are potentially inspiring. Or take dancing: lots of people say that dancing is just a waste of time, but to me it marks a key difference between animals and human beings. It takes a high level of intelligence to interpret music, especially as something you can dance to. It’s spiritual. It’s liberating. If someone can make you dance to their music, it’s a pretty amazing skill. Same goes for all the pop art that touches you emotionally in a split second. I can’t see anything negative in that. I sometimes get the impression that people mistrust their feelings. I try not to do that, just like I try and trust simple ideas and things that are stripped down to the bare essentials. I think it’s a sign of having mastered something.'
>Are you referring to your own music?
>'Actually, I would say it’s true of the last Katy Perry record. There are so many people who call her songs easy and so cheap, but to use elements of pop that so many people have used before and still make such an amazing record—that’s awesome. I mean, her songwriting is really on parade, as is the production. A million people are trying to make pop songs all the time, and you’ll listen to all sorts of failed attempts on the radio every day. To succeed in a medium that everyone is working in is a huge achievement, if you ask me. It takes a lot of intelligence and talent for sure.'

Wtf you're talking about? This is by far the best thread on the whole motherfuckin' /mu/.
Regardless of what you think about Grimes, on her threads you can find:
- good discussion (occasionally really good)
- pics
- memes and pastas
- obvious shitposts and trolling
- hate speech
- youtube links.
They all tend to have a shitload of replies and flamed arguments. They're diverse and entertaining. People that love her or love to hate her, they all enjoy posting non-stop about one of the best artists of the decade.

>>66110816
This one is the most epic.
>>66106973

>DUFFY BACKSTAGE

>>66112457
I'm not watching the stream but if she's singing out of tune it is mostly because of jumping around that much
I get that it helps with her anxiety but it hinders her performance
Idk if it's the case here but I've seen videos of when she started touring art angels and it always happened, then again at glastonbury it didn't happen much
>>66112457
>She is doing her usual.
>Singing out of tune and jumping around.
That's because her lives shows are giant dance parties.

>>66112457
But on that KEXP perfromance she almost stayed in the same place all the time. Also the new songs from Art Angels are much more demanding regarding the vocals.

>>66112139
Wtf you're talking about? Be a Body is always great, even the new remixed version.
idk if it's that much an anxiety problem, she says that she isn't a great singer, that's why she does a ton of takes for her songs
Is Grimes going to make a video for Realiti?

I will never judge her
that was a beautiful performance
>>66112770

She can. Watch that Glastonbury performance.
She had the ENTIRE crowd dancing at the end there. Wouldn't matter if she did sound like total shit (which she didn't - just constantly off her breath support from dancing) THAT'S a great concert.

That is what she complains all the time though. Nobody judges her, so she can't grow as an artist. There is no motivation, everything she does is green light.

girls can be friends without fucking each other you know. real life isn't like anime.

You guys seem to forget that HANA is dating Grimes' best friend. She'd never want to break Mike's heart by stealing his girl.
>>66114286
Hate to break to you, but all Hanas are rare, because nobody bothers to save them.
>>66113938
I love it when trolls accidentally start describing themselves.
>>66114286
>>66114323
why so? it is like grimes for free ( 5 euro).
>>66114330
You better start saving them now.
>>66114377
I would rather invest my bitcoins in rare grimeses (what is plural of grimes?).

>implying it's not hana who steals grimsey from james
>>66114515
Hana will steal James from bloodpop. Claire will always be black sheep.
>>66114558
>HANA dating Bloodpop was all a ruse to get close to James
>When James ricardos Grimes, he and HANA will ride off into the sunset
>Bloodpop will be the only one left standing on the stage
>>66114558
>Claire will always be black sheep
no, she's mine
do you think she will be killed by a crazy fan?
