/grimes/ general: no need to be nice to grimes edition

I like Grimes, her music is great and gives me nice vibes

I love Grimes tbf.

I only like her myspace ep and a few songs off of Art Angels.

>>73363728
>>73363730
Nice, same, even if it is only with one of her albums.

bad

Visions is okay, not spectacular, but okay.

Art Angels and the cult around it/Grimes as a person is too fucking much however, and I eagerly await the day that Grimesposting on this board reaches its climax before an abrupt, sharp, collapse.

i dont think she has a soul

>>73364520
this

>>73364520
She's the only person with a soul.

>>73364520
there's really no point in being mean to her. she knows who she is and is only happy for it

>>73365278
she should kill herself

>>73365294
but this is a thread encouraging being mean to her

>>73365340
>not being nice to Grimes

>>73365394
>being nice to Grimes
>in a thread where you don't have to be nice to Grimes

>>73365375
i dont care about your stupid thread

>>73365427
then why are you posting in it?

I love you Claire.

>>73365407
in these threads we pretend and that's all we can do

Reasons not to be nice to Grimeth:
(There are none)

>>73365492
>(There are none)
>implying Art Angels doesn't exist

>>73365447
it doesn't mean i care if im commenting in it

>>73365526
>the number one pop album of all times that changed music forever is a reason to be mean to Claire Elise Boucher
This is what butthurt haters actually believe.

>>73365531
you care enough to post in it instead of any other thread

>>73363705
I thought she was ok before Art Angels came out. But Art Angels is shit

>>73365559
>the number one pop album of all time
>changed music forever
this is what grimesfags actually belive

>>73365595
can you not?

>>73365609
can you be more specific?

now this is the type of /grimes/ general i can get behind: one where honesty is encouraged over blindly loving grimes for waifu reasons

i don't think grimes is anything special, to be honest, her instrumentation is nothing special and her vocals are kinda annoying

>>73365635
do you really think shitposting is helping? just stop

>>73365650
if you're the original anon (>>73365559), you're shitposting just as much as I am

>>73363705
shes very whimsical and has some great songs but is ultimately 1 note

>>73365464

>>73365680
i just told you to stop

>>73365680
>he doesn't know memes

>>73365680
it's really not helping

>>73365726
>telling people to stop shitposting in a grimes thread
haha hoo hoo

>>73365737
>implying I don't

Goodnight /grimes/, goodnight Grimes.

>>73365407
>totally missing the point
Saw that reply coming.

The "being nice to Grimes" meme on /mu has never been about people literally being nice to Grimes (which would be a meaningless initiative anyway since Grimes doesn't exist here in an official capacity.) It's a way of giving fair warning to regular 4chan/mu users (who might not be aware that posting stuff like this >>73365340 is flagrantly rule-breaking) that these threads are frequented by people interested in having real conversations about music, and who consequently are in the habit reporting such rule-breaking posts to the appropriate parties.

Posts like >>73365394 are a coded way of indicating/reinforcing to other posters the following things:
1. Post #73365340 contains content that flagrantly violates /mu's posting rules and is therefore reportable as such (hint hint...)
2. Posts like #73365340 are not tolerated ITTs. Therefore, if you want to have your fair say ITTs, you'll need to do so sans flagrant rule violations.

It's a key component to how these threads manage to moderate themselves so much better than the rest of /mu when you consider how much posting traffic tends to come their way.

i want to worship Grimes

>>73365937
What rule is being broken? You do realize that people never follow those rules without being banned, correct?

>>73365637
>honesty is encouraged over blindly loving grimes
see
>>73365937
Also,
>her instrumentation is nothing special and her vocals are kinda annoying
Lazy opinion, mate. You forgot to give us any sort of reason why we should care that you think this.

>>73365865
see
>>73365394

>>73366009
why should anybody care what anyone thinks? /mu/ is a board for music discussion, hence music discussion is done there.

>>73366009
different anon
>why should we care what you think
shut up. why should he care what you think, you fucking moron

>>73365986
>What rule is being broken?
In reference to which post?

>>73366089
#73365340

>>73366009
>why should anyone care what you think
you want an autistic writeup on it?

the fact that so many /mu/ posters still name grimes as "the greatest or most important or most influential" artist of the decade only tells you how far pop still is from becoming a serious art.

>>73366075
>why should anybody care what anyone thinks?
Because other people's REASONS for liking/disliking things can be very interesting to hear (regardless of whether you happen to agree with them or not.) And since your stated opinion of Grimes' music (found here >>73365637 ) contains nothing in the way of REASONS for thinking what you think ("nothing special" and "kinda annoying" are merely conclusions to an already thought out process argument) they express nothing meaningful to anyone else ITT.

Therefore your opinion (as so far stated) of Grimes' music is a lazy effort on your part to have a conversation since there is nothing about it capable of being discussed. Even this post is just referring to your argument in a metalogical sense.

what kind of stupid moderation plan is that?, nobody gets what you or anybody else who uses the "be nice to grimes" meme, try to accomplish

>>73366345
I'm not >>73365637, although I did find meaning in his post, and agree with him, since we seem to have come to the same conclusion.
You seem to have a strange obsession with people having a conversation in this thread. The OP asked a question, and that anon answered it. If you don't care about his opinion, then that's fine, but nothing else should be expected of him.
>thinking that someone's music is annoying is not enough of a reason to not think their music is special or good

>>73366164

>>73365760
>>73366164
>>73366385
>not being nice to Grimes

>>73366414
The post in question was not a troll, nor was it of any lower quality than what was needed. The OP asked for his rude opinion about Grimes, he gave his rude opinion about Grimes.

>>73366403
>thinking that someone's music is annoying is not enough of a reason
Conclusions aren't the same thing as reasons. Finding something to be annoying is a conclusion - not the reason for having come to such a conclusion (aka the interesting part in terms of meaningful conversation.)

>>73366554
Why can't conclusions be interesting? Either way, his conclusion was that Grimes music is nothing special, and his reason was that he, in his personal opinion, thought that the music is annoying.

>>73366493
>he gave his rude opinion about Grimes.
Which violates the following 4chan rules:
http://www.4chan.org/rules
- Global Rule 3
- Global Rule 6
- /mu/ Rule #2

>The OP asked for his rude opinion about Grimes
Because the OP is attempting to b8 people into making rule-breaking posts that could potentially end up getting them banned. Have you never heard of meta-trolling?

>>73366621
giving a rude opinion about someone =/= trolling

If the OP asked him, and he answered, any offense is taken, and not given. If trolling means making a deliberately offensive post to upset someone, he didn't do that.

>>73366593
>Why can't conclusions be interesting?
Because there is nothing worth saying about a two-word long conclusion (such as "nothing special") that isn't already covered by just repeating it verbatim (as you just demonstrated.)

>the music is annoying
He said he found her voice to be annoying - not her music. But he didn't say why he found it annoying either (another conclusion lacking the reasoning behind it.)

>>73366743
>nothing worth saying
there are tons of things worth saying about it, like
>I agree
>care to explain your position, why do you find her annoying?
>I disagree
are all legitimate things that can be said in response.

Why does he have to give any reasons either way? He's just giving his opinion.

>>73366716
>giving a rude opinion about someone =/= trolling
>>73365340 isn't an opinion on Grimes (what the OP asked for.) It's a statement of what the poster thinks Grimes should do (something which, now that I think on it, violates General rule #1 as well.)

Therefore it is rule-breaking on multiple counts.

One of my co-workers puts Grimes on occasionally. It's during those time that I consider violence the most. It's like the musical equivalent of shitty vanilla hentai.

>>73366835
In his opinion, Grimes should kill herself. How the fuck is that not an opinion?

>>73366778
>tons of things
>lists 3 things
Simply agreeing/disagreeing with a statement doesn't say anything about it beyond what has already been said. Which leaves just one of your three options left: asking for more information - which is also not saying anything about it beyond what has already been said.

>>73366845
What kind of job do you work?

>>73366920
but you said that "nothing is worth saying". all three of those things are worth saying in a conversation. therefore, you're wrong.

>>73366937
Pub cook.

>>73366870
>How the fuck is that not an opinion?
He phrased it as a statement, not an opinion. Most likely because he is stupid.

just stop

>>73366997
Stop

>>73367005

>>73366946
>all three of those things are worth saying in a conversation.
What does simply saying "I agree" or "I disagree" accomplish in the context of a conversation?

>>73367040
stop

>>73366968
when you're talking about a subjective topic such as an artists music or your thinking of the artists, it's pretty stupid to ask that people always preface their posts with "in my opinion" or end with "imo". It's pretty obvious what they mean.

>>73367069

>>73367255

I find her style of pop music very creative. Granted, if she knew how to program modular synths and drums machines instead of relying on her DAW, I would be more impressed, but the music is fine as it is. I don't find her that attractive to be honest. Granted, there are certain looks and images that she looks pretty hot in, but 75% percent of the time, she tries to make herself unattractive as possible. I fucking hate Chvrches, but Lauren Mayberry is a beautiful woman. Grimes produces much better music, but looks like a dumpster fire half of the time.

Due to the culture of rampant contrarianism on this board, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "like" something is when the thing in question isn't good enough to be worth hating. Likewise, the only time you are going to see a huge majority here saying that they "hate" something is when the thing in question IS good enough to be worth hating (Because - to paraphrase Taylor Swift - people throw rocks at things that shine because things that shine make for easy targets.)

For an artist, being universally loved on /mu is a bad sign. Likewise being universally hated on /mu is a bad sign. However being simultaneously strongly loved AND strongly hated by /mu is a wonderful sign, since the size of that dichotomy itself is the closest thing this place has to offer to a true judgment of artistic value.

The proof that Grimes IS a great artist (insofar as /mu hive-mind opinion is concerned) lies in the fact that she has the POWER TO DIVIDE this place. Only the greatest artists can do that.

get the hell out of here. she has some ugly pics but the vast majority of them are great.

/mu/ is the only place where Grimes is acknowledged; she's a 4chan meme. I don't know anyone irl who knows of her. I found her on YouTube to see what all the fuss was about and was tragically underwhelmed.

This is a great thread about Grimes, the artist of the decade

>>73374356
she has millions of views that were probably bought to make her seem more popular than she is. Shes just an underground 4chan meme at best

This prooves that the industry promoted her in 2015.

stop it, autist. and read this >>73375217

your bullshitting is visible from the moon. you have no facts to support your retarded claims.

>>73375243
zzzzzzzzzzzz. are you for real? the industry promoted her? those are critics, you moron. not the music industry. i bet you wouldn't say the same thing about your favorite artists who happened to be critically acclaimed.

>>73375219
I see how easy you morons here get angry about nothing important when you should just get off your arses and get a job and then have some real stress to deal with. Come on, benefit scroungers need paying, hurry up. Good enough?

>>73375249
its a well known fact that the music industry and pr companies paid music publications to promote it

>>73375267
Friendly reminder you're in the "it's okay to not be nice to grimes" thread.

>>73375267
>critics have never been payed by artists for good ratings

>>73375243
btw, the industry as a whole doesn't promote anyone's music. that the labels' jobs. promotion is related to popularity. if she's popular then her label and her music did a good job. if she's acclaimed then her music did a good job (critics review her music not her sales/popularity).

also you moved the goalposts. those anons claimed she's a mere 4chan meme. i proved you and those idiots wrong.

>>73375267
no, because i like good music that doesnt need to be acclaimed by these so called "critics"

>>73375270
It's okay, anon, I sometimes mistake a difference of opinion for conflict too. This "hostility" that you perceive is all in your mind though. You are assigning an unfavorable mood to your opposition to justify your perspective.

>>73375310
they were some rare cases but that's not the norm. to imply her reviews were paid is autistic and kindergarden level. in any case, she doesn't even have that much money to pay them. she's signed to an indie label, 4ad. 4ad is a legendary label who treats its artists correctly and doesn't do shit like paying reviewers. they don't even need to do that when they released so much good music: cocteau twins, pixies, dead can dance, the national, st. vincent, lush, purity ring, bauhaus, lisa gerrard, zomby, grimes.

Well, I'm gonna stay engaged with you for a while because I want to see your trolling skills evolve. Where was we; oh, yes! Um... nobody here is angry, you're projecting that emotion into us merely because we disagree with you about the legitimacy of Grimes as an artist. She's just not good, I say this as a matter of fact.

>>73375695
Ahhh, that's the problem I bet! A utility artist that does a little of everything struggles to master one thing. She spreads herself too thin I guess. Thanks for that, anon, so much is explained now.

Keep dancing, bruh.

>It is only when you witness this much unfettered female joy on stage that you realise how rarely it is that you see it. Grimes’s feral K-pop rave is easily the best thing to be run through a mixing desk this year, maybe longer. It is every kind of awesome.

...

>Then, between songs, Grimes becomes Boucher, a nervous young Canadian woman, embarrassed at the repeated pauses she has to take because the crowd won’t stop cheering, even when she asks us nicely. “Stop it, it makes me stressed out, I’m very shy!” she blethers. Cue more screaming. The only thing to do is to start rapping in Russian – the vocal to Scream, originally in Mandarin, by Taiwanese rapper Aristophanes.

...

>Hosting the pop rave of your dreams, Grimes and her crew are having a blast so palpable, so unrelenting, it actually feels like a game-changer.

Her public adore her.

http://www.nme.com/blogs/nme-blogs/grimes-glastonbury-set-proved-bowie-and-prince-s-maverick-spirit-lives-on-771377

>In a year when Glastonbury has paid tribute to David Bowie and Prince, two artists celebrated for being relentlessly creative, individual and fearless, the Canadian singer/songwriter/producer Grimes – real name Claire Boucher – proves that their maverick spirit lives on in a new generation. Grimes might just be the best pop star in the world right now – here’s why.

>Though ‘Art Angels’ saw her collaborate with other artists, most of Grimes’ music is pointedly the work of one person. Her stage show is no exception: as well as singing, dancing, playing guitar and rapping in Russian on ‘Scream’, she works like a DJ triggering backing tracks and samples and manipulating sounds from a bank of keyboards. It’s exhausting to look at, let alone to contemplate the synaptic dynamics required to perform like that.

>Already on her fourth album, Grimes has a big catalogue to choose from, but it’s testament to the amount of excellent, out-there pop songs on ‘Art Angels’ that much of the set comes from her exemplary 2015 album, not least ‘Kill V Maim’, “my favourite” according to Grimes herself. It takes a lot to match a defining song like 2012’s ‘Oblivion’, but this one edges it.

>She leaves the crowd wanting more
>At 55 minutes, Grimes’ headline set is painfully short – and it’s not like there’s nothing left in the tank, either – hardly anything from 2012 breakthrough album ‘Visions’ is left unplayed, nor is fan-favourite ‘Vanessa’. At the end of the set, the audience are left a little bereft. “One more song!” they chant, but there isn’t one – Grimes has already skipped off stage to some old-timey piano music. It’s only 10pm. There’s a low-key rumour that Radiohead are going to do a secret set after. But how could they follow that?

I think there's threads up right now about how much we don't like reviews.

Lunch was tastey, thank you.

Ya know what, I think my opinion on Grimes has changed. After watching some interviews a moment ago, I have to agree that she is the most tallented transgender artist out there.

>>73377039
I wouldn't bother investing that much into your annoyance. :)

>>73363705
Mixed bag, some of her music is really radio friendly generic pop songs. Some of her music is pretty adventurous and very catchy. She also looks like a foot.

>>73377060
You're a funny guy, that's why i'm going to kill you last. :)

>>73377248

I just don't see /mu/'s fascination with her - or kpop for that matter

>>73377248
Everybody's got to die of something someday. I may as well have my life taken by a Grimes apologist trolling a thread which invites criticism.

I wonder if Claire knows she has bipolar disorder yet? Hyper-creativity along with the pressured speech is very telling. I sure hope she gets that managed, I'd hate hearing of her self destruction even if I do think she's a turd biscuit.

>>73377483
Ahh, Adderall.... So lemme guess; misdiagnosed with ADHD and prescribed adderall, he's been on it long enough to become addicted to it, and mistakenly believes her hyper-manic episodes are the drug "helping?" That tragic, bruh.

Bipolar disorder is often mistaken for ADHD when detected early in childhood.

Oh, says here she's Roman Catholic. That's a game changer for me. I just became a Grimefag for sure.

Does anyone have a picture of her butt?

>>73378234
why would you want that?
Its probably all covered in shit or something
do you think she even wipes?

>>73373310
Is that even her?

I like grimes and her music and stuff. But these threads continuously devolve into pure bullshit.

It would be nice to discuss her work in a civilized manner. But nope.

>>73378123
she has potential to be a good wife shes cute slender cute personality sometimes somewhat smart
but shes a degenerate

>>73378636
She's a degenerate in what way though? I don't think that's true.

Care to post exhibit A?

>>73377483
she wasn't an adderall user she was a speed user

there's a pretty big difference between the two, similar as they are.

>>73378700
I thought it was amphetamines? Or is speed amphetamines? I don't know drugs at all lol.

>>73376920
>review as an example
why not? you (or a diff anon) claimed that
>Grimes should be a session musician beings she's incapable of holding the public's interest.

i proved you that opinion is false.

>>73378722
both adderall and speed are made out of 2 amphetamines; l-amph and d-amph.

adderall is synthesized in a lab and generally has extremely high purity. above 95%. also the d:l amphetamine ratio is 75:25. it comes as salts in capsules.

speed is manufactured pretty much universally in labs in denmark, with purity varying wildly, but assuming that she wasn't buying trash, you're looking at 70% purity. speed comes in a bunch of different forms, but often it's a white paste or powder (like cocaine). speed also has a d:l amphetamine ratio of 50:50. the result is actually a remarkably different high. speed has a much more intense euphoria, introduces much more severe jitters, makes you dizzy and is generally a much more physical high.

speed is also extremely cheap, adderall is stupidly expensive.

she doesn't do speed anymore.

>>73378827
i meant to say netherlands, not denmark, but you get the point.

>>73376998
b8

>grimes fags
>expecting to be taken seriously

>>73378827
How do we know which one she was doing though? Did she mention this in any interview? She has really downplayed the whole drug use thing in as many years as i've been following her stuff.

>>73377060
still a shitty opinion. you're a complete idiot but at least you're trying.

>>73373008
It looks like a fucking toddler used her leg as a fingerpaint canvice

>>73378886
It's "canvas" fyi not "canvice" but anyway. Yeah I wonder about her decision making regarding her tats and what they mean.

Some she has discussed like the fifth element symbols on her fingers and the 8 and alien and that 'beautiful' tat was apparently done by a fan. Oh and that sine wave. Other than that I have no idea what is with the others. Or what those hand tats mean (on her palms)

>>73378870
She specifically mentioned speed.

Whether she was taking pressed pills, paste or snorting powder, we don't know.

What we do know is she's clean now, it's all in the past.

Other drugs we know she's done:

Acid, Shrooms and generically "Downers".

All mentioned in early interviews. The "downers" mention comes from an ancient pre-Darkbloom interview where when she was questioned what her idea of paradise was she said something along the lines of "A tropical island with a lifetime supply of downers".

>>73378918
That's really bizarre i've not heard that one. I'm really only familiar with stuff around darkblooms and beyond, not pre-darkblooms. Got any sources?

The earliest interview I think I have is the one where she's sitting down with Duffy and D'Eon at that university. The one where she munches on her nails and talks about her 'tick'

I recall it being on some page with a lot of black and neon pink and green going on. it was really old and it just had a huge list of questions she was asked.

sorry I can't be of any more help. Classically trained anon once compiled a huge list of all of her interviews that he found. I don't have it saved, but I think he's still around these threads and would be happy to post his list.

If not, RBT archives all the /grimes/ threads. Start in mid-May of 2016 and work your way forward checking all the links. Last year these threads bore into the depths of hell looking for every morsel of information about her that they could and we found a lot.

>>73378918
She literally brags in concerts about how she made visions on adderall in what sitting.
What do you mean she's clean lol?

>>73379114
I have that list I think. I'm just SUPER fucking lazy with going through it. I'm a fan of hers but not THAT much of a fan. In other words, I went through a few of those links but couldn't be bothered to check them all.

There were hundreds of links. I mean you've gotta pour over this shit like you're some sort of historian to get these nuggets of information.

>>73379203
source?

>>73379203
Did you mean in ONE sitting? I hear this a lot and in interviews they say 9 days and then she said more like 20 or some shit in another interview. Nothing makes sense.

>>73379244
It was easier when you were in these threads last year and had them on auto update.

You got the info as it was coming in.

Hell the only people who know more about Grimes are the vk stalkers and people like actually.claire.

>>73379267
Yeah sometimes I wonder how people learn this shit if they're not her or in her close social circle or some shit. I don't think she reveals most intimate details about her life yet some seem to know this shit at the drop of a hat.

>>73379261
I haven't seen about it being 20 days before. I imagine her being an adderall addict and flips up on stuff like that because, well, she's an addict.
>>73379249
It's pretty entry level grimes info.
Actually upon googling it seems since visions she doesn't use drugs to make her albums anymore. But google "grimes adderall" and there's a handful of links talking about it.

>>73379605
Funny you mention visions and drugs because honestly I was wondering about drug use on earlier albums like Geidi which was very bizarre. On a level I could not fully comprehend (with a rational mind). I did very much feel like the aid of some sort of substance might have allowed that path to be clearer. Even the album art suggested this.

Alas, that is a realm I do not venture. So ultimately I kept an open mind but wonder if I fully gathered the experience at all.

1. Motor mouth
2. Extra creative
3. Hyper productive

She is in the hyper manic phase of bipolar disorder. She's gonna come down and come down hard, and all /mu/chachos will be like all "whoa, didn't see that coming, she was always do bubbly with patrician taste."

Not drugs at all

>>73381753
your theory is as far from truth as possible. do you actually believe the bullshitting of this >>73379766 armchair medic? wtf, are people so naive here?

grimes is a person like any other. lately, she's making music, traveling, hanging out with her friends and enjoying life. stop blowing things out of proportion; things you barely have any idea about.

btw, why so many anons feel the need to talk so much shit about her? every grimes thread is chock-full of lies, rumors, bullshitting, shitposting and overall madness. behave!

>>73381965
That's exactly how I was, enjoying life to the full, right before i developed depressive paranoid schizophrenia, anhedonia, akathesia and insomnia.

>>73382099
That may be the case for you. But she does not exhibit these symptoms nor does her mother so I doubt this would be hereditary; as those conditions tend to be.

does anyone else hate HANA so much?

>>73382167
No, why do you hate her?

>>73382099
if some things happened to you it doesn't mean they will happen to everyone (including her). stop projecting your own issues on her. people are different to each other.

>>73382216
Everyone is touched by some kind of mental illness, no matter how mild, it's impossible to live in the modern world without being affected in some way. It just hits some bigger than others. Now Claire...

>>73382286
You sound like one of those people who don't believe in vaccines. I'll take my medical observations from actual doctors thanks.

>>73381398
this is the interview that anons used to find the address of her old apartment lmao

[spoiler]i still plan on visiting it some day[/spoiler]

>>73382361
So that's reason enough to hate people? WTF?

>>73382376
Why would anyone want to visit her old apartment? LOL WTF?

>>73382369
you don't understand what a mental illness is

claire is functioning in society. by definition she isn't suffering from mental illness.

prior to the success of visions however she most definitely was.

>>73382395
yep, she ruins Grimes' show as a result.

>>73382433
Not according to grimes herself she doesn't. Plus I like her just fine.

>>73382422
i want to see it for myself. see the area surrounding where she was when she wrote visions.

why do you visit anywhere, anon?

>>73382374
I don't think you can really throw that theory out the door
more people are suffering from mental disease at a staggering rate but I think yheres alot of factors involved desu even things like city life
modern society is a sickening age

>>73382465
I've been to Mile End. It's not much to look at. I think you kinda have to live there to get the full effect. Although I dont' know how you'd get an inroads into that sub culture. I think how she got in was through the University/Luck.

>>73382484
No, the difference is that they are more widely reported now. We know how to diagnose them. People suffered from this shit all throughout history but peopel didn't know what it was. So they called it shit like Witchcraft or the Devil or evil spirits or whatever. People just didn't know.

>>73382464
>Not according to grimes herself she doesn't
Grimes isn't the one watching, you doofus.

>>73382529
Well her fans seem to like her. What do you want her to do, get rid of her so she can perform her shows exclusively for you? LOL. Come on.

Also, her songs are pretty good. If you listen to the ACID ReIGN tour music video she has some nice songs on there.

>>73382495
I don't want in to the culture or anything. Lab Synthese is long dead, lol.

Just to see what her surroundings were during that time. It's a bit weird I know, but I'm curious to see what she did coming and going to her hovel, try and scrape some whatever inspiration from it that I can.

>>73382547

>>73382570
Well good luck with that. Short of a time machine I don't see how that can happen.

As I say, Mile End isn't much to look at or be in. There is nothing there but a bunch of apartments and streets. I don't know what you think you'll find.

There is ONE interesting building near by, this old warehouse. Other than that you can see the area where some music videos were shot of hers. But again, it's not terribly interesting.

>>73382518
this

>>73382518
The witch trials where another issue
but its true the focus on menyal health is a factor as well as the population boom
