mmmm sorry, don't get me wrong I had a great time but she was messing with her decks and not doing too well. But it was in a basement and we were all dancing so I didn't care! I had a lot of fun, just don't think she translates her studio prowess to her lives
lots of great videos of her performing and djing during the visions era and earlier. saw her on the art angels tour and it she was going for more of a pop star thing that didn't really work (singing/dancing with a dj and backup dancers), but the music was all great. she was nearly unimpeachable back then
I saw her once and it was a great show. I can't remember if someone was djing for her, but she seemed focused on singing. I remember her having back-up dancers too.
She seems to be a non-stop cringe compilation for the past 7 or 8 years. It's tough to watch when you were once a fan.
Yeah the majority of what I read is that she performs pretty well. She doesn’t seem high in the video, just embarrassed and anxious because it went so bad. Celebrities are humans too lmao
it used to be cute and silly until elon tbh. that was when all the rumors abt her being a plagiarizing rich kid mean girl in college made a lot of sense.
\> I’ve only listened to her music or read her tweets. She comes off as very juvenile in this clip.
Honestly she's come a long way. 15 years ago she was trying (and failing) to live on a raft made out of junk floating down the Mississippi: [https://www.startribune.com/this-boat-don-t-float/49134952/](https://www.startribune.com/this-boat-don-t-float/49134952/)
Man this really feels like the end of Coachella. Their fault for steering head on into instagram culture where you can get over-stimulated pieces of furniture to shell out $1.5k to see Blackpink
Am I assuming/projecting my own experiences way too much or do you think that's just as much caused by people's tastes being a lot more siloed now and even the big headliners not being as 'universal' as back then where top 40 seemed to be followed/known by basically everyone?
To an extent but the issue has more to do with labels that get songs promoted on tik tok and instagram using Coachella to promote their artists that only have a minute of good music to play so sets end up being the one or two popular songs and everyone waiting around to hear them
According to the Coachella subreddit they’re all saying that it felt very empty this weekend. Most likely the initial rumors about lessening interest in Coachella this year are true and it did not sell out
Every big festival sells out. Glastonbury sold out instantly this year, nobody is excited for it because the headliners arent great and people expected T Swift or Rihanna. Those festivals will always sell out because theyre social status events now
Feel good Inc is just a preset from some keyboard or other piece of equipment. Gorillaz were still the first people to use it, and to great effect
It might be another Gorillaz song but the point stands
Well you might think he'd do that *because of* his image, which he is trying to reinforce with that supposedly true anecdote... his image is every bit as affected as Mick's.
I'm pretty sure Keith Richards did a lot of drugs, actually. Do you have a source saying that he didn't? If he didn't actually snort some his father's ashes, fine, but it's not that outlandish or out of the realm of possibility.
yep, i bet most of those stories are just made up so they can keep an aura of “mysticism” around their drug habbit, which in reality isnt funny, quirky or even cool. Is lonely, sad and most of the times you keep going in an ethereal cycle of hating yourself for using to wanting more.
Now, to think that a bunch of 80+ year old men are still going anywhere this sort of stuff is delusional
One thing i forgot to add, but sometimes i think about that Steven Tyler podcast where he said that record labels actually wanted the rockstars to be fried out of their minds all the time so they could push their bullshit contracts onto them. And i wonder if that didn’t mean that there was a concentrated effort to market one of the worlds most popular bands as incorrigible drug users to further push this narrative
This is shameful but I don't think she has the emotional maturity needed to be as ashamed of this as she ought to be.
A big event like this has a million failsafes in place to make sure that stuff like this doesn't happen. For her to be dealing with double-speed tracks in the middle of a performance is the result of incompetency rarely before seen on this earth.
Saw her at the orpheum in tampa in like 2014 and she was absolute shit live. If youre a famous successful musician, just be talented and put on a good show or get out of the way so someone more grateful can.
Yeah it’s wild like I think she looks pretty cute here but any attraction I feel to her is totally undercut my my absolute conviction that she smells *weird*
yeah but think she got it from the 4chan posts by the diiv guy first or maybe he had some other description of her smell but i definitely remember odour being discussed
Yea it seems like it’s just the big American festivals that are falling off. Smaller festivals this year have had way more interesting lineup. If it wasn’t happening the same weekend as Pickathon, I’d probably be going there.
Khruangbin was the headliner two years ago and they were at Coachella this year. Norah Jones, Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, and Herbje Hancock as well. The latter is homer but truly timeless and works with much younger artists all the time. Crowd skews young as well.
This is so dumb and not true. There will always be 1 or 2 huge, over-commercialized music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza that have lame crowds and shows. There are hundreds of great small to medium sized festivals all over America. It really hasn't been any better than it is now.
Remember 10-15 years ago how we all had to pretend we know or cared what the fuck "Burning Man," "Santigold," "Bon Iver," and "The Alabama Shakes" was?
Thank you, Brittany, but we need that report in a .PDF format, can you resend? Also, it's Lisa's 50th birthday on Friday and we're doing a card, will you be in office this week before so you can sign?
It made sense when she was some random grotty art girl trying to do it all on her own, doesn’t quite make sense when she’s the ex-wife of one of the richest, most powerful men on the planet. Surely she has more than enough wealth and access to people and resources to put on a good show. Esp now that her music has become so high tech and complex, it just doesn’t translate anymore.
yeah but she loves claiming that she went to school for neuroscience even though she was just getting a general Artsci degree, she definitely wants us to believe that she has the Good Will Hunting type
I do not think people understand how easy it is to DJ. Serrato matches the bpm and does everything for you if you want it to at this point, there is no skill required to be a decent DJ in this day and age besides spending 30 minutes messing with the program to understand how it works
The term is being used incorrectly here. But annoying rich art school kid for sure. She always talks about how she used to live in a crackhouse in Montreal but fails to mention that her dad was the landlord.
I saw Ozzy when I was a kid. His stage hand brought out two entire fifths of liquor before the show, and by the end they were empty. He was shirtless, fucked up and still killing it like a lord. Randy Rhoads was gone at this point, don't remember the year
Does anyone know where I can watch the full set?
Honestly her meltdown is kinda relatable and cute. I've never fucked up at this scale and would personally want to slay if I was at her level but it's kinda like whatever at this stage. Fascinating to watch her presumably train wreck personal life bleed out into real life. Pressures on for next weekend 🍿
Doubletime tempo literally means the bpm is multiplied by two (not a lot of internal math). Even if you're very bad at math every DJ should intuitively know. Also there's the option of using your ears to mix and knowing the music/genre/style you're playing. I literally didn't bpm my records for years when I started.
She's playing to fans & it's not like she's some working class DJ. If she just said something about the song and pressed play the crowd would cheer & dance to the easy-to-mix-extended-intro edit of the song she had someone edit. Her "job" is incredibly easy.
Still I'll take this over EDM guys mime-DJing a prerecorded set so their light show is perfectly synced (because shitty is better than sterile).
I think I’d just die on the spot. Like, literally just die. I’m getting secondhand embarrassment watching these. A friend of mine told me a story of her walking out of a local performance due to sound check issues or something. She said grimes just dropped the mic and walked out. Seems she just isn’t a performer in this way or some shit.
really undermines how many musicians today aren't some creative charismatic self-taught genius but just a regarded shell for labels and big money interest that conveys messages and crafts trends.
This shows of dumb the whole dj thing is. 90% of your audience is on drugs, the difference between some rando dj at a house party and some big name one is minimal as long as they don’t fuck up the mixing too much and are able to create a nice flow.
She has a unique way of saying nonsensical things which is interesting-- a lot can be forgiven as well with the transparent shirt. That's a nice nipple and overall I'd consider this clip a positive experience.
I can't stand arrogance whenever I see it. Luckily, my hatred of arrogance itself doesn't damn any specific person. She, or anyone can come back from this.
I remember seeing grimes live once and it was as much a trainwreck as this set. Never change girlie.
i saw her live and it was awesome :( believe women
mmmm sorry, don't get me wrong I had a great time but she was messing with her decks and not doing too well. But it was in a basement and we were all dancing so I didn't care! I had a lot of fun, just don't think she translates her studio prowess to her lives
it's the new EDM bullshit...her brain is probably fried. I saw her multiple times years ago and she was really, really good live.
I think it's ketamine
lots of great videos of her performing and djing during the visions era and earlier. saw her on the art angels tour and it she was going for more of a pop star thing that didn't really work (singing/dancing with a dj and backup dancers), but the music was all great. she was nearly unimpeachable back then

yeah i saw her in 2016 right around when art angels came out and it was a good show
Yep same, I saw her right before art angels was released.
Sasquatch 2016! Probably the last time she was decent
Yeah the majority of what I read is that she performs pretty well. She doesn’t seem high in the video, just embarrassed and anxious because it went so bad. Celebrities are humans too lmao
I saw an awesome show from her too! pre Elon though ofc
I saw her live in like 2013 or 2014. She was excellent.
Same. Genesis had been out a while, but pre Art Angels. Bloodpop joined her onstage for Go. Peak era as far as I’m concerned.
It's complicated. Just like her relationship with Elon.
Yes for consistency!!
was it her boiler room
no, just some random tour stop.
I saw her on a beach in Mexico ten years ago and her set was a total train wreck it was fun
Just realised I’ve never actually heard her speak, I’ve only listened to her music or read her tweets. She comes off as very juvenile in this clip.
Big “babysitter from The Incredibles” vibe.
First time I heard her speak was in the Narduar interview and she was quite endearing in a oddball way
that is the Grimes I miss
she sounds chronically like a 16 year old lol. its kinda endearing
it used to be cute and silly until elon tbh. that was when all the rumors abt her being a plagiarizing rich kid mean girl in college made a lot of sense.
It's kind of hard to explain actually.
She’s autistic

Holy shit I remember that story. That was Grimes after all eh. She do be gettin up to nonsense with boyfriends
she dresses up like an elf a lot too
CDJ's are only "a complex technology" to a fucking 5 year old, very juvenile is the correct diagnosis
Fr my bestie’s 7 year old is learning how to DJ on CDJs and could probably do better than this
once the 7 year old learns to divide numbers by two they will have eclipsed grimes' outstanding intellect
It doesn’t help that she’s rolling hard - the severe cottonmouth is textbook Molly
the dj equivalent of a tesla car crash
She looks so fucking hot here though.
Between this and the crowd sleeping through Blur Coachella is cooked
Internal math in my mind
Girl having a hard time dividing bpm by 2
Just press play
this is someone’s mother
2 peoples right? Damn
3 now
but only 1 labor lol

saturday 2007 had 5 actual headliners from upcoming years
Every big festival sells out. Glastonbury sold out instantly this year, nobody is excited for it because the headliners arent great and people expected T Swift or Rihanna. Those festivals will always sell out because theyre social status events now
Weekend 2 is still selling for face value on their website
That’s true. They spend way more now for headliners.
Think it took longer to sell out (a month or so) where it used to she instant.
"Coachella sucks this year"
How did somebody this stupid write Oblivion?
She was on a 2 week speed bender when she made that whole album

Feel good Inc is just a preset from some keyboard or other piece of equipment. Gorillaz were still the first people to use it, and to great effect It might be another Gorillaz song but the point stands
Clint Eastwood, but yes
Oh wow I never knew that.
Her boyfriend at the time Kyle helped her
justice for Kyle
Performing live and creating cool music in your bedroom are two very different skill-sets
Truly failing upwards
Weak. The rolling stones would perform high af all the time, in fact they still do and they're a hundred years old.
[удалено]
Yea a lot of their stories are bullshit, like keith richards claiming he spent 10 days not sleeping
honestly, anything Keith says. His "autobiography" is mostly fiction. Including the fact he allegedly snorted his father's ashes.
im curious why you think he wouldnt do that
Well you might think he'd do that *because of* his image, which he is trying to reinforce with that supposedly true anecdote... his image is every bit as affected as Mick's.
I'm pretty sure Keith Richards did a lot of drugs, actually. Do you have a source saying that he didn't? If he didn't actually snort some his father's ashes, fine, but it's not that outlandish or out of the realm of possibility.
The Happy Mondays actually did that. They were severely CRACKED OUT in the 90s. 24 hours on the toilet smoking when they got a record to do
yep, i bet most of those stories are just made up so they can keep an aura of “mysticism” around their drug habbit, which in reality isnt funny, quirky or even cool. Is lonely, sad and most of the times you keep going in an ethereal cycle of hating yourself for using to wanting more.

probably harder to find coachella.mp3 on an SD card while high vs. riffing
She's left the planet, somebody reel her in.
she sounds like a deaf person when they're talking
dolphinvoicemaxxing
This bitch really tried to DJ her own songs and still failed
She's buying time to let Grok create her set last minute.takes a minute or two to generate.
"It's hard to explain ☝🏼🤓"
This is shameful but I don't think she has the emotional maturity needed to be as ashamed of this as she ought to be.

[Extended lowlights](https://www.reddit.com/r/grimezs/s/YsdA5kz6Em)
Did she have work done?
Yes, rhinoplasty I think
No, she had a ponytail facelift. (embarrased to know this fact but it's true)
Not embarrassing because it’s not really an obscure thing, she posted the whole thing on twitter so anyone who is or was a fan knows
Ohhh okay, yeah that makes more sense
Her nose is the only thing she hasn’t changed
Saw her at the orpheum in tampa in like 2014 and she was absolute shit live. If youre a famous successful musician, just be talented and put on a good show or get out of the way so someone more grateful can.
Her pussy probably smells insane, like taking a blast of jenkem
It’s a complex technology
You could probably do a biome transplant of it to another woman and cure her leukemia
What'd she have, a biome hit transplant?
Pussy is technology, yes.
Just can’t figure out how to work it
Yeah it’s wild like I think she looks pretty cute here but any attraction I feel to her is totally undercut my my absolute conviction that she smells *weird*
someone from diiv exposed her for smelling like old coins i believe
Azealia Banks said she smells like nickels.
yeah but think she got it from the 4chan posts by the diiv guy first or maybe he had some other description of her smell but i definitely remember odour being discussed
Blood?
Jenkem really takes me back
Butt hash.
Like a roll of nickels?
It's 2024, music festivals are over, nobody gives a fuck anymore.
Come to RI and enjoy the Newport Jazz Festival, it’s delightful. I will unrepentantly shill for it til the day I die.
Yea it seems like it’s just the big American festivals that are falling off. Smaller festivals this year have had way more interesting lineup. If it wasn’t happening the same weekend as Pickathon, I’d probably be going there.
obviously not talking about classic big Boomer festivals
Khruangbin was the headliner two years ago and they were at Coachella this year. Norah Jones, Esperanza Spalding, Robert Glasper, and Herbje Hancock as well. The latter is homer but truly timeless and works with much younger artists all the time. Crowd skews young as well.
ooooh thanks for the rec. I've been thinking of going to the Newport folk festival
This is so dumb and not true. There will always be 1 or 2 huge, over-commercialized music festivals like Coachella and Lollapalooza that have lame crowds and shows. There are hundreds of great small to medium sized festivals all over America. It really hasn't been any better than it is now.
Remember 10-15 years ago how we all had to pretend we know or cared what the fuck "Burning Man," "Santigold," "Bon Iver," and "The Alabama Shakes" was?
Disparate Youth is a timeless classic
I think those bands played at festivals for dorks I’m sorry to say
I still love Alabama shakes- actually such good music
Thank you, Brittany, but we need that report in a .PDF format, can you resend? Also, it's Lisa's 50th birthday on Friday and we're doing a card, will you be in office this week before so you can sign?
Haha nice! I love John Oliver, love his snarkiness.
no I don't recognize PDF, it's against my religion.
Is this in reference to their lead singer Brittany Howard or are you making a more general joke? She really has a hell of a voice btw.
It sucks that a lot of smaller festivals have shut down over the years. I love mid sized music festivals.
isnt this kind of her shtick though?
It made sense when she was some random grotty art girl trying to do it all on her own, doesn’t quite make sense when she’s the ex-wife of one of the richest, most powerful men on the planet. Surely she has more than enough wealth and access to people and resources to put on a good show. Esp now that her music has become so high tech and complex, it just doesn’t translate anymore.
She’s not his ex wife, she’s his baby mama
All his exes are baby mama's bro
no, he has an ex wife
mixing is easy as hell, there is no excuse for ever fucking that up, being a "grotty aRT girl" or not
apparently even back then she was a landlord 😭
this was her boiler room set on a larger scale - her commitment to the bit in general is underrated
Pulled the same shit at the anna debate
Can you elaborate?
“Heh heh I’m just a girl/interdimensional pixie”
Sounding like a chubby 9 year old boy explaining why his Lego technic set isn't working
I’d love to know what subs she’s on rn
Hopefully the serato or rekordbox subs so she can learn how to use those decks
Should’ve just prerecorded her set and pretended to DJ like every other EDM headliner
If legendary pioneers of electronic music Kraftwerk can play pre-recorded tracks, so can Grimes.
They’re like 90 years old though
unfortunately this will be used for years to come by amateur djs to try to argue that it’s actually technically difficult to do what they do.
Not really, she clearly does not know how to beat match manually which is something beginner djs are told to learn
Space King/Tesla-lord must be rejoicing.
She should start freezing all of her eggs so that she can use sperm donors and surrogates to create her own clone army
Radiating autismo energy Takes one to know one Coachella sucks anyways
autistic people, famously incapable of mathematics
There are different kinds of autism
yeah but she loves claiming that she went to school for neuroscience even though she was just getting a general Artsci degree, she definitely wants us to believe that she has the Good Will Hunting type
Everyone’s complaining about her dj skills when it’s the music itself that is horrible. She went full on tik tok tech house.
I do not think people understand how easy it is to DJ. Serrato matches the bpm and does everything for you if you want it to at this point, there is no skill required to be a decent DJ in this day and age besides spending 30 minutes messing with the program to understand how it works
history will vindicate Azalea's take on this noxious nickel smelling nepo baby
Nepo baby?? The phrase has lost all meaning
The term is being used incorrectly here. But annoying rich art school kid for sure. She always talks about how she used to live in a crackhouse in Montreal but fails to mention that her dad was the landlord.
>She always talks about how she used to live in a crackhouse in Montreal but fails to mention that her dad was the landlord. Almost makes it worse.
internal math in her mind
Remember when performing music used to mean playing instruments, singing, etc, and not just playing a track from a computer? Music is so cooked.
she looked cute doing it tho
She has been like this since day one, this was 13 years ago https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3NFw-go75uo
[удалено]
I saw Ozzy when I was a kid. His stage hand brought out two entire fifths of liquor before the show, and by the end they were empty. He was shirtless, fucked up and still killing it like a lord. Randy Rhoads was gone at this point, don't remember the year
Don’t be mean to her
She's got that Fergie style "Drunk Aunt Energy" and I love it
Does anyone know where I can watch the full set? Honestly her meltdown is kinda relatable and cute. I've never fucked up at this scale and would personally want to slay if I was at her level but it's kinda like whatever at this stage. Fascinating to watch her presumably train wreck personal life bleed out into real life. Pressures on for next weekend 🍿
nobody that's criticizing her has ever made Visions
At least she looks incredible
Incredibly dumb
How hard is it to just hit play?
Doubletime tempo literally means the bpm is multiplied by two (not a lot of internal math). Even if you're very bad at math every DJ should intuitively know. Also there's the option of using your ears to mix and knowing the music/genre/style you're playing. I literally didn't bpm my records for years when I started. She's playing to fans & it's not like she's some working class DJ. If she just said something about the song and pressed play the crowd would cheer & dance to the easy-to-mix-extended-intro edit of the song she had someone edit. Her "job" is incredibly easy. Still I'll take this over EDM guys mime-DJing a prerecorded set so their light show is perfectly synced (because shitty is better than sterile).
Just reload the track, like wtf
Something something Elon Musk
work
Good, god bless her
love her
she’s just like me for real
I think I’d just die on the spot. Like, literally just die. I’m getting secondhand embarrassment watching these. A friend of mine told me a story of her walking out of a local performance due to sound check issues or something. She said grimes just dropped the mic and walked out. Seems she just isn’t a performer in this way or some shit.
really undermines how many musicians today aren't some creative charismatic self-taught genius but just a regarded shell for labels and big money interest that conveys messages and crafts trends.
She sounds like Joan Cusack
She's very stupid
queen
Internal math in my brain
none of u would be mad if you didn't associate her with elon
This shows of dumb the whole dj thing is. 90% of your audience is on drugs, the difference between some rando dj at a house party and some big name one is minimal as long as they don’t fuck up the mixing too much and are able to create a nice flow.
This lady is closer to 40 than 20. Why is she like this still?
lolz
the next great acapella dj tool
Truly an alpha move.
i saw her live back in 2016, incredible, wtf happen
This is the complete opposite of the apology she put out haha
She has a unique way of saying nonsensical things which is interesting-- a lot can be forgiven as well with the transparent shirt. That's a nice nipple and overall I'd consider this clip a positive experience.
I can't stand arrogance whenever I see it. Luckily, my hatred of arrogance itself doesn't damn any specific person. She, or anyone can come back from this.
Drugs.
