Grimes/Claire Boucher thread

*drove me mad

is that the one in the corridor that you keep going back to?

Yeah that's the one. There is an actual order and steps to be done before going through the corridor each time (while avoiding to be killed by your ex-wife's ghost). By the way some steps were ridiculous like whispering names into the controller's mic at certain points. When completed an actual trailer for the game was revealed (when first launched there was no info on who was behind the mini game just the words PT whic stands for Playable Trailer)

The concept trailer made by kojima and del toro also looked amazing. Really sad this is not happening:

Also for extra sadness: Junji Ito was going to be involved twitter.com/RealGDT/status/648117433593655296?s=09

Back to Grimes it would be so awesome to have her collaborating on Death Stranding with Kojima either as a cameo 'actor' or doing some sound loops for the game (or both).

Btw for you of those who have no idea who Kojima or what a Death Stranding is, it's the game he has been developing since he was fired from Konami and it looks fucking bonkers... here's the three concept trailers released so far:

Starring Norman Reedus, Mads Mikkelsen and Guillermo del Toro as actors for the game so far. The budgets on his projects are crazier than the concepts.

It'll be released with the Playstation 6, no doubt :)

also all three have said they have no idea what the game is even about!

i love that kojima's out doing his thing in an industry where triple A is increasingly bland but he disappeared up his own but a while back

we should make a speculative thread for it, even if grimes would probably love us talking about video games in a thread about her music :)

this is probably the only part of the thread she wouldn't find horrifying tbh

you say it like she hasn't read it already. hi grimes!

Grimes remains our kid's favorite musician. He recently claimed she was more famous than Katy Perry.

:)

that...might....be.......true?

nah

Hides also has the opinion that there are three goods bands: Joy Division, Talk Talk, and Asia.

HIDEO stupid autocorrect

ah c'mon he loves more than that

when he's right, he's right

(tho i've seen him big up echo & the bunnyman, bauhaus, others --- he's basically an ex goth)

massive cure fan too

he named his dang pretend mercenary group diamond dogs

now I'm just going to have prolonged MGS5 flashbacks all afternoon

My 5yo daughter is the same, but also loves David Bowie equally.

Give it a year or two and you'll know more Meghan Trainor songs than you even thought existed.

They showed the class a video with music by Taylor Swift the other day, whom has been blessedly absent from my life up until now.

Juno Award for the Venus Fly video!

very nice.

went on her subreddit the other day and they have a banner above it that reads #FREEGRIMES

Yeah, there are some intense people over there for sure.

One thing that I'd never been aware of is that I guess there's a type of fan that pays close attention to who an artist follows on instagram and twitter? Right now there's a thread at the top of the sub about Elon Musk following Grimes, but I've also noticed "Grimes and 4AD stopped following each other!" and "why doesn't grimes follow _______ anymore? aren't they still friends?" type comments. idk.

the myspace top friends drama lives on in followbacks

rl lol

a grimes myspace page would be wild

first time i heard grimes was myspace!
https://myspace.com/boucherville

Empty profile now - but back in 2010... https://web.archive.org/web/20100414025031/https://myspace.com/boucherville

Wait Elon Musk follows Grimes?

her (2010) profile rules. grouper and grimes at casa del popolo!

dang, I was in town two days before that! if only I'd known

Montreal Grimes >>>>> L.A. Grimes. Not that I'm biased or anything.

This doesn’t excite me to be honest.

yeah there's nothing exciting about that

whos poppy

spent my whole teenage years obsessing over 4AD - pretty jarred by grimes calling it shit

wtf

I'd be curious to hear Grimes' thoughts on the last two Twin Shadow albums.

holy crap, what's up with that NME website? i guess they closed the print version so they could focus exclusively on burying 5 sentences of content within an avalanche of garbage ads?
i'm not sure i was able to extract any information from that page, but my brain hurts now.

she has called every label shit so far.

She’s probably right tbh

4AD is not really 4AD anymore, hasn't been the curated sorta label it's remembered as since around 2008.

grimes/poppy seems a v fitting collab to me

Yeah not mad at it

this would be way more exciting than a Poppy collab if anything comes of it (that's kpop thread favourites LOONA)

she's also working in some capacity on new Ngaiire material!
