Gen F: Grimes

Listening to Grimes, aka Claire Boucher, you get the sense that there are several incongruous events happening at once, and entirely by accident—as if the default were pandemonium, and any moments of clarity or brilliance, pure happenstance. The day we talk on the phone was no exception: she accidentally pressed the mute button mid-conversation, someone came to her door, someone left, the cat almost escaped, the cat ate a monster bag of catnip, she knocked over a giant ashtray, the call dropped, the other line kept ringing, Mercury was in retrograde. The slow-burning chaos that infuses her music also seems to permeate her entire being. (Read more here.)

Hiding in Plain Sight:

‘Nom de Plume: A (Secret) History of Pseudonyms’ documents how some went public, privately

A writer’s inner struggles can become like a series of public myths: the compulsions followed by purges, inner ego wildfires sandbagged with unbearable doubt, the ignoring of health issues, losing partners, weird habits and confessions of allegedly horrible secrets. These bad habits are sometimes no fun to be around, but stories of self-invention are always interesting to read about, especially in Carmela Ciuraru’s “Nom de Plume: A (Secret) History of Pseudonyms.” … (Read more here)

“Once you’re out far enough, you get to see where the earth was carved out for you to shoot through a channel of trees. A bit further is where the ramshackle and shuttered live in peace with the abundantly verdant and wild.”

This Is the Golden Age

Q: How do you guys have your acts together? You’re really young, and you’re super art-inclined. Aren’t you supposed to be worrying your parents and hurting people’s feelings and making bad decisions like the rest of your peers?

A: I wish I had my act together. I was talking with someone in Golden Age recently and we decided that we’re distrustful of anyone who honestly thinks they have their act together.
