HIPSTER RUNOFF BLOG OF THE MOMENT

the one with the video at the monster truck rally is fine enough but I don't think I've ever sought out another Grimes banger

No some of her songs are incredible including Vanessa, Flesh Without Blood, and Oblivion

Oblivion is not incredible, it is interminable

haha holy shit you'd have to pay me to watch a video with that thumbnail

I dont like the new stuff as much

not to go all hro here, but grimes has always been a bunch of tumblr posts come to life for all that entails

She had a cool sound though and I liked her music in my early twenties. Some of the tracks hold up in my opinion.

“visions (demo)” and “violence” are both songs I enjoy a lot

sorry, not “visions” meant “REALIty (demo)”

Vowels=space and time is another really good one

kind of wish someone was doing a less-toxic but still sarcastically critical type of blog now when I see headlines like

Yeah, I feel like when he took breaks from doing some of the grosser hounding of musicians his voice could work really well for a specific sort of at-large cultural criticism.

e.g. Urban Outfitters stock is in 'the shitter', CEO resigns. Are alt retailers dying?

There was a really good one or maybe series of ones referencing edison lightbulb, mason jars, exposed brick sort of aesthetic trend in coffeehouses, "gastropubs" that was really satisfying. He was good at that stuff I think.

Oh wait I just read all 3000 posts on this thread and I guess that was prev mentioned.

i’ve been enjoying the stuff brad troemel’s been putting on ig/patreon lately. like a historicization of post-internet art and online culture of the last 15-ish years. his style is ymmv but imo it’s informative and interesting. this one was about carles/hr:
