Blood Diamonds is actually working on the new Madonna album lol
Apart from that being hilarious all this now makes a lot more sense
Wait...
Ugh this is horrible moves from all involved. This is not what twitter is good at.

it's disturbing that we can all spend as much time on the internet as we all clearly do while still working full-time or holding down other life responsibilities but pretend that it's totally weird and unnatural for famous people
― some dude, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 17:46 (nine years ago) link
you're right, i apologize, it doesn't make sense since she is working on music constantly. 'disturbing' isn't the right word, more like disappointing, bc i want to hear new grimes. i feel the same way about isaac brock but he's had seven fucking years
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 17:49 (nine years ago) link
and he never tweets hmmmm it's almost like there's absolutely no relationship between social media presence and artistic productivity

We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank was the best MM album and probably found Brock at his ceiling as a songwriter, and he probably knows it, so don't wish for an album that's only going to disappoint you.

i could see that. it's a damn good record, better than good news, more rocking, less tom waits
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 18:21 (nine years ago) link
we were dead is probably my favorite modest mouse album, but the idea that the lack of follow-up comes from isaac brock thinking he couldn't possibly top it so why bother, rather a mix of indifference on his part and interscope's, is pretty funny

they have a handful of new songs like "Shit in Your Cut" they've been playing live for years now, none of them sound very good
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 15 October 2014 18:29 (nine years ago) link
it's definitely possible that he knows he'll never make as much in royalties again

Oh, I was only kidding about him contemplating his limitations after the last album. Maybe dude's just not into writing that much anymore.
― Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 18:32 (nine years ago) link
all the LP's are too bloated by about 3-4 songs, imo Everywhere and His Nasty Parlor Tricks is their best release front to back

It's a mark of how bad this thread had become that the swerve into Modest Mouse discussion actually seems like a slight improvement.
― Tim F, Wednesday, 15 October 2014 18:37 (nine years ago) link
oh man, "You're the Good Things," "Here it Comes," the extended "I Came as a Rat".... totally classic. i know ILX hates modest mouse for the most part

4:40 in this video, Grimes talking about Madonna: "..even though she sucks now".
-LOL-

whoops

i think the issue was the way ariel pink discounted madonna, criticizing her for trying to hold onto her faded youth and that her work needs more substance -- "sugar in the mac and cheese" -- from male songwriters such as himself. he didn't just say "i haven't been too enthusiastic about madonna's recent efforts" or something.

― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:03 (nine years ago) link
that said, and i will say it again, ariel pink doesn't know what he is saying because he is a weird, crazy guy who spent his twenties in his parent's basement.
― Treeship, Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:04 (nine years ago) link
also ariel gets no benefit of the doubt after that sexist shit he was saying about that girl he took home in that one video, that was low shit
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:18 (nine years ago) link
idk, i think people are leaping to that reading given all of his other press where he said dumb/offensive things in a deadpan way, for some reason, but saying madonna's music lacks substance these days/for many years, isn't a controversial opinion is it? he exaggerates wildly though by saying she's been shit since before Like a Virgin and putting sugar in mac and cheese would ever be acceptable.
he's trolling because he has a record coming out in november
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:21 (nine years ago) link
xpost yea in that same "i got maced by a feminist" bullshit interview, he says that gay sex "isn't really sex"he's not a bigot, just really cynical 'playing the heel'
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:23 (nine years ago) link
what a disaster for the self-aware heel if he's mistaken for a misogynist
― da croupier, Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:27 (nine years ago) link
He's not a bigot he's just using hurtful language in a trolling way to get a rise out of people? Call me cray but I think that makes him a bigot nonetheless.

saying bigoted shit to "troll" is as bigoted as saying it because you "mean it"

Can't imagine Grimes reasons for saying "Madonna sucks now" in that video were much or any different from Ariel Pinks, i.e, the same opinion of everybody on why she sucks now.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:33 (nine years ago) link
we've reached the "are people who still claim the issue was ariel saying madonna's music ain't good now trolling or genuinely clueless" portion of the thread
― da croupier, Thursday, 16 October 2014 14:39 (nine years ago) link
There are like 8million people ITT and the other one going "IDGI, what's wrong with saying Madonna sucks now?" as if that's the problem, rather than the wording of his statement.

there's just something so goofy about the "woah, woah, the guy who casually says sexist shit may be a jerk, but that doesn't mean he's a real-deal, dyed-in-the-wool, my-woman-belongs-in-the-kitchen SEXIST" argument, as if it's important everyone be really delicate and careful in our estimation of egomaniacs who clearly don't give a fuck

lol @ analysing and interpreting the wording of something arial pink says in an interview
he said she should stop gyrating like shes 20. call it ageist if you want, but still no one has bothered explained why it's sexist, let alone misogynist.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 16 October 2014 15:02 (nine years ago) link
+ I would actually find a dismissive "even though she sucks now" as far 'offensive' than what Ariel said, personally.
― Raccoon Tanuki, Thursday, 16 October 2014 15:03 (nine years ago) link
because men are not generally subject to the same type of ageism

I am not angry. I am stating calmly and clearly, that what you write is factually wrong, and that you are a worthless troll. This isn't anger, this is fact. You have nothing to contribute, and you're wasting everyones time. So, quite frankly, shut up.
