Pitchfork: The Tale of Grimes' Insane 2009 Houseboat Adventure →
Wait, Grimes is fucking that person? This is not to reflect at all on Grimes, whose music I’m sure is wonderful (although the one song I’ve heard is meh), but Grimes is fucking that person?
Okay, maybe you think this is cool, but, as someone who was living in Minnesota in the summer of 2009, I can assure you that this was a roundly mocked story. Was it on Hipster Runoff, maybe, even? I don’t remember. But I do remember this story and talking about it and being like “LOL stupid hipsters.” Like, I might be projecting here, but I feel like I even discussed this with one of the old dudes who worked at the gym where I worked. Furthermore, I am even more certain that a dude I kind of know did the same thing the next summer to far greater success, and it still was annoying. Sorry, but this really predisposes me to dislike this music!
