the young girl and the sea

Grimes is slaughtering the music scene with her latest album, Visions. Mostly because the music is totally radical, but also because the little lady who is Grimes, Claire Boucher from Montreal, is just so goddamn cool.

Exhibit A: As legend has it, Claire and a companion once built a 20 foot houseboat with plans to sail down the Mississippi River to New Orleans, a la Huckleberry Finn. A faulty motor and the Minnesota PD prevented them from getting too far, but what a weirdly wonderful adventure! Full story here.
