harsh noise record when
hopefully soon
Why do you want her to make a harsh noise record?
why not?
Why did Grimes start shaving her armpits and legs? Did James make her do it?
church gone wild is best death grips album.
discuss
>math rock
is she gay or nah
She's always a contrarian.
SM: It seems like people have a lot to say about your body hair.
G: I just started shaving for the first time this year. I am rebelling against my previous body hair, because now people get mad when I shave my legs. So I’m like, “I have the right to shave my legs.” I think people policing my body either way is bizarre.
SM: For the shoot you and I did, they didn’t know if they should retouch some of your hair, and I said, “No way.”
G: There is still an intense vibe in society about body hair. No one I’ve ever dated has mentioned it. I didn’t even think it was weird until I started doing fashion and people would be putting concealer over my legs.

grimes probably liked death grips before anyone on moo and then got bored of them because they all sound the same but she probably still knows more death grips knowledge than anyone on moo. she's a health fan.
Someday she will. Mark my words.
How did you find out about Grimes? What's your story?
i always knew she existed from stumbling on her on youtube. but i really got into her when i met my best friend's gf. damn something about grimes and my friend's gf is so damn sexy
she asked me if i wanted to play with her
m.youtube.com
What's your favourite song by her?
Butterfly
That's a hard question. I have at least 10 G songs that could be considered absolute favorites. Right now? Maybe Be a Body. The original and the reworked versions.
anyone got more of these types of pics?
they make me laugh, I'd like to expand my GRIMETH collection
don't have one, her music is so diverse it is impossible to pick one. If she made all songs alike you could single one out.

Mind you business, fat dumbass. Get out.

that is one fat motherfucking cat
reminder that this cat is dead
At least I dont listen to grimes like a faggot
she betrayed him
Help me, is there any choreography of Grimes songs? I dance daily, but look spastic when I record myself.
Ultimately I want to dance a dance which reflects the magic of WorldPrincess pt. 2. I saw somewhere that the video is coming out sometime soon. September I think?
why aren't you with her yet? you're just letting us down mate
Bi
You listen to Chvrches. It's no wonder everyone hates you, fat bastard. You don't mind your business, faggot.
What song would you ask her to play? Any song.
Post pics of his gf

"Nice cleavage Claire"
By me
what did she mean by this
Watch a recent performance of her. e.g. Glastonbury.
posted this in the end of the other thread...
great post.
#1 see her live (she has two more shows, one today in LA, one september 17 in montreal, one october 1 in nyc) or watch live videos
#2 even if you can't do that, follow the two art angels touring dancers alyson and linda on instagram, plus hana. they post a lot of dance videos and workshops and videos of shows. and they're cool people and seem to get along genuinely with each other.
i think it means her boobs are going crazy
...
I watch her live performances obsessively. Favourite dance is Venus fly. Favourite uploader is twelve roses because of the clarity of the sound and video. I feel like I've mastered her jerky arm and shoulder movements, but she's limited because she's actually performing.
Listen to it on repeat many many times. Try to truly absorb it.

grimes is the only true rebel left in "indie" or "rock." she destroyed the bland rock sound expected of indie, and became controversial for that reason. she forced everyone to see that the genre of rock was dead, the same way radiohead did with kid a and kanye with 808s. kid a ended up being accepted as an alternative rock album and the sound of the genre in the future ('00s), 808s ended up being accepted as a hip hop album and the sound of the genre in the future (today), but they did that by rejecting and destroying their existing genre. grimes' previous album visions did the same with indie- rejecting and destroying what was expected and replacing it with synth pop. again, it determined the future of the genre. today "indie" may suggest music that sounds like visions more than music like the national or arcade fire.
then with art angels, she rebelled again, this time against the new consensus (which she had popularized) that indie rock = dead. art angels was primarily rock-inspired. grimes rejected guitar in her previous songs, which were dreamy and poppy, but every single song on the first half of AA is guitar driven, and some are aggressive. that's equivalent to how Radiohead removed guitars and rock (their old signature) from most of the first half of Kid A, and Kanye removed rapping (his old signature) on most of 808s.
rock is grimes background, she grew up on metal alt industrial punk, and then she got into the punk scene and she ended up as part of a collective of experimental artists making ambient and noise music. over time, grimes and several of these artists realized that although it's very easy to make mu/core music in their sleep, that kind of indie isn't creative or risky, it's all been done. so these artists began moving toward pop- the kind of sounds that at that time, were rejected by mu, p4k and indie fans. then when a pop sound was finally accepted, grimes rejected it herself to make aggressive rock. true patrician.
>You can say a lot with clothes. I’m never trying to be political, but the fact that I don’t think I’ve ever had cleavage in my life could be taken as a political statement
did she died?
you know nothing about 99% of the underground rock scene, since it's not covered by pitchfork very often. plenty of rock genres are having their biggest years in at least a decade (midwest emo, post-punk revival, neo-psych)
well it's not like she has a lot to work with
Her cleavage was a bit covered by that medallion tho...
Fortunately she's alive.
what is that dress even
she looks like a little girl
she looks like roadkill
A wild Grimezombie appears...

It's back to normal. It's pretty comfy now. Let's all just forget about all that stupid drama.
I meant from moo.
>you can see the clear silhouette of her body in that dress
why would she do this to me
I try to hard to not waifufag and she makes it so difficult
i cant do it...
Björk is just better

>Björk will never be your mother
Why live?
