That's what I thought at first. Now I can't stop listening.

This Emilie Autumn love makes me a happy man.

Maybe I'll start plugging Emilie Simon more

Awesome, guys

I think I might have mentioned this before, but Enchant sounds different, but it's still really good. Enchant is like that beautiful girl lost in some dark, mystical forest on an autumn night. Opheliac is that same beautiful girl, except she's being dragged into a mental institution after slashing her wrists.

She also has several EP's that contain covers, remixes, and b-sides. It's all awesome stuff. Laced/Unlaced is all instrumental violin work, both with covers and some originals of her own. It's beautiful.

I think I'd like Enchant. Gonna check it out today.

Yes plz. It's awesome, and it tends to (understandably) get overshadowed by Opheliac.

Well I just got her discography, and listened to a little bit of it.
It's... different. Not bad, just different. I'll have to spend more time listening to it

I haven't gotten past the first 20 seconds of that video. I keep replaying "woo, WOO, woo, WOO, meow"

Whoever in the audience did that is a comedic genius.

LOL @ the encyclopedia dramatica article about her.

How much of this is actually true? I'm asking you. You know who you are.

Gadough · « **Reply #82 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:14:59 PM »

You're able to go to Encyclopedia Dramatica without getting viruses? Every time I go there, I'm barraged by so many popups that I can't even navigate away from the home page.

jsem · « **Reply #83 on:** April 11, 2011, 03:16:33 PM »

It's called NoScript. Basically, I get no pop-ups or anything. Basically just the text, so I can read for the lulz-´.

I've only glanced at it. I haven't read the whole thing.

To be fair, there's a degree of truth to a lot of the stereotypes about her fans, if that's what you're referring to.

ED is down right now, so I'll have to wait until it's back up to make a fair judgment (lolopeth).

Emilie Autumn fans often insist they be called muffins. Because Emilie Autumn has called them that once or twice. She also likes to make it clear at all times that she suffers from bipolar disorder and is not responsible at all for herself. Her muffins got stirred into an outrage from an interview in Kerrang! which focused upon Emilie's mental disorders rather than her music. (Please note: On that day, not a fuck was given outside of the Asylum.)

...

Muffins of Emilie Autumn are usually pre-teens to teens, or at least seem to have that mentality. They are oh so gawfik and no one understands them, that's why the have to worship Emilie Autumn, because she is a Goddess, and give her their Suffering that she asks for in her music. Listening to an underground artist like Autumn makes them oh-so-cool and her using violins makes it classical and gawfik and unique, just like them. Muffins are also called "Plague Rats", a title they accept as readily as her bullshit Liddell history. They achieve this status by 'spreading the plague' of her music.

All Emilie Autumn muffins claim to be extremely insane and can often convince a handful of just as retarded people. Although most muffins don't know anything about their claimed form of insanity. They don't go for the pansy mental disorders either, fuck no, the crazier they are the bigger an Emilie Autumn muffin they are.

There are few exceptions to this rule of people who like Emilie Autumn's music and are actually mature and intelligent adults. However, they have been labeled to not be "true muffins" and are generally hated by the true muffins and are banned from Emilie Autumn's forum the moment they disagree with Emilie or a mod and show their lack of faith.

The Drama

It all began one day when...

Emilie Autumn decided to leave her recording company and go to The End records because the others were controlling and wanted her to go mainstream. On the move she re-re-re-released her second CD, Ophelliac.

Some people on the forum had the stupidity to go against Emilie's wishes and show less than total support. Of course, this caused Emilie to go into a RAAAAAGE. And she promptly put them down with harsh sarcasm and large words and questioning her worth to make them feel like the guilty and horrible people they were for questioning her motives.

A member on the forum known as 'CosetteAlice' told Emilie to clam down and have tea (Tea being the poison of choice in the Asylum, obviously). All hell broke lose as Emilie told the "fucking patronizing fucking" girl who dared to tell her what to do. Fans Muffins Plague Rats backed Emilie Autumn up and told the girl to GTFO because she wasn't a true fan. Thus began the banhammering of anyone who didn't and doesn't lick Emilie's sparkly pink boots.

Ok, I have no idea about the forum drama, but I'm sure there is a little bit of truth to that (there usually is in ED articles).

As for all the fan nicknames.... yeah, those are all true. Obviously not every fan fits into those stereotypes. It's no different than the stereotypes of Dream Theater fans, heavy metal fans, prog rock fans, yadda yadda yadda.

and emilie is still the best artist ever and if you dont think so i am going to burn you and then piss on your ashes and rant about it in my pink diary

Laced/Unlaced is decent so far. Not sure how well I'll fair with vocals though.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #91 on:** April 15, 2011, 07:12:20 PM »

This is awesome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irtvqYURY7s&feature=player_embedded

Apparently her mic broke, so she performed the rest of the song instrumentally, with her violin mimicking the vocal harmonies. This was back in the Enchant era.

Opheliac is a great album. It was all I listened to 3 summers ago, iirc. It's also really fun showing Marry Me to people.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #94 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:09:57 PM »

Her latest tweets aren't particularly encouraging:

Composing whilst unmedicated, just like the old days...not on purpose though, and highly not recommended. Doc won't refill prescrip. No fun.

That's kind of what I was thinking

But I hate thinking like that.

But she's acknowledged that her bipolar disorder and insomnia are good sources of inspiration to draw from. She tries to turn it into something positive so she's not just another victim of it.

I read this before ravenheart's post and I was REALLLLLY hoping it was gonna be about nudes.

Gadough · « **Reply #98 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:36:12 PM »

I dunno man. She's attractive and all, but given her past, her identity as an asexual, and how guilty she tries to make men feel for being so sexual...I don't think I'd want to see nudes of her. It would just be weird.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #99 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:37:56 PM »

Not to mention, she was raped at a very young age

Gadough · « **Reply #100 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:39:14 PM »

That's what I meant by "her past." I just didn't want to say it.

ZBomber · « **Reply #101 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:46:58 PM »

I don't know how to reply to that without sounding like an asshole.

But, honestly, I don't think her being raped would really affect my perception of her at all.

Ravenheart · « **Reply #102 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:51:52 PM »

Nah, it's cool. I'll always think Emilie is drop-dead gorgeous, but I have a ton of respect and admiration for her.

Wordz. Not trying to turn her into a sex object or anything, but honestly that was just the first thing that came to mind when I saw Drew's post. It reminded me of the Paramore thread when those pics of Hayley leaked.

BUT BACK ON TOPIC I still have not bought Opheliac but I really want to, and it will be one of my first purchases once I get a job in a couple of weeks.

Gadough · « **Reply #104 on:** April 25, 2011, 07:56:28 PM »

Oh yeah Mike, I wasn't trying to paint a picture of you as an insensitive dick or anything. I was just throwing out my own opinion.
