He has no idea how obvious he made it that she’s telling the truth. That isn’t a normal statement for a band to release when they lose a member. His ego and abusive tendencies were more important than good PR.

The first time I saw Crystal Castles was when they opened for Depeche Mode in 2013. I didn’t know their music at the time, but had heard good things about their live shows. I really enjoyed it, but it wasn’t their typical crowd to play to. I do remember how mesmerizing it was to watch Alice Glass go all out for their…

As a long time Crystal Castles fan this is heartbreaking but not surprising. There was always a weird vibe between them. She was so young and so charismatic and I always got the feeling he was jealous of her popularity and felt he should be getting more recognition. I can easily see that dynamic manifesting in abuse.…

The dude is full 0f shit. Alice MADE Crystal Castles, ask anybody who ever saw them live. And he’s mad as hell these days I’m sure because no one gives a shit about CC now with the Alice wannabe he tried to replace her with. That poor girl is probably being mentally twisted up by him as we speak.

Also, not that it really matters, but the only song of theirs I’ve ever heard of features her prominently, and her singing is the only part of that song I liked.

Pirate the old stuff and go see her in concert.

“A lot of my friends from the punk scene had also been taken advantage of by much older men, so to me, it was a situation that had been normalized.” *Heartbreaking.

The momentum that’s been created recently by the many courageous women who have opened up about their own stories has inspired me to finally be more direct, at whatever cost.

...in which he wrote that Glass’s new project “should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs.”

When Kath released a new song “Frail” in 2015 under the Crystal Castles moniker he included a statement in which he wrote that Glass’s new project “should be rewarding for her considering she didn’t appear on Crystal Castles’ best known songs.”

So this is basically the year that all the shitty abusive men get outed finally?

ok I assumed you didn’t know who he was. My bad. I still think his current behaviour is abhorrent.

Perhaps you don’t know who he is so some context: before killing Marie Trintignant (daughter of Jean-Louis Trintignant, a famous French actor) Bertrand Cantat was a rock star, a “rebel”. He was very involved in left-wing causes, he wrote a lot of “progressive” songs. He spent only 4 years in jail for murdering his…

You’re misrepresenting the Norway situation, he was given a containment sentence which means that if he’s deemed to be a danger to society he can be locked up for life beyond that 21 years, in five year increments with no limit.

Le journalisme, ce n’est pas simplement une posture morale qui consiste à lever ou à baisser le pouce

1- If this was done in obliviousness, these people are hella stupid, but...

It’s almost like capitalism isn’t obliged to be ethical in any way, but just to make money for shareholders and owners.

That might be accurate on St Patrick’s Day. Please note I have never been to Chicago on St Patrick’s day but if it’s anything like Nyc I stand by my comment.

The GOP candidate in Virginia (Gillespie) is a disgusting turd.

Ashley Judd actually did first, and that gave McGowan courage to come forward.
