Jupiter Keyes Sends Male Friend To Pose Online As Female To Slander Ethan Kath / Alice Glass Has Had To Apologize For Being Transphobic (Related)

Firstly, before we address our next disturbing story, it should be noted that Alice Glass has been pressured by the LGBTQ community to actually apologize for her “transphobia”, here is the tweet:

pic.twitter.com/kNesKOEVZd

— ALICE GLASS (@ALICEGLASS)

February 23, 2015

click here for images of said tweet (in case of deletion) Opportunity to grow, to become better human beings? Funny, the irony is not lost, trust me. If only she lived and abided by that. Here is the article she is referring to, where she makes her transphobic remarks: http://www.independent.co.uk/life-style/fashion/features/how-do-i-look-alice-glass-singer-age-20-888011.html The direct quote:

I'm feminine: I'm wearing a skirt, I own a bra. I think that whole big blonde look has been taken over by transsexuals now. I'm a natural blonde, but that blonde hair, big tits idea of what men want, it's now really unfeminine.

Now, our related story: recently Mono from CC forums got in contact with us, as he claims he recently received hateful mail harassing him from those directly connected to Jupiter Keyes and Alice Glass (addressing him by his name - which is extremely creepy, considering he never gave these individuals his name and does not go by this name online - nor did he ever give his name to Alice or Jupiter). In particular, he recently encountered an individual who made up a fake “encounter” against Ethan Kath (in what seems to be done as a favor for Jupiter Keyes - more on that later). However, it should be noted: Mono is not a public figure, just another native Angeleno of Latino Native American/Mediterranean/South African and Jewish descent - who grew up in the South Central Los Angeles, Long Beach, and Echo Park areas in the 90s during the gang violence and drug epidemic in America (the after math of the racist policies that sprung from white flight), which culminated into the LA riots. He noted, aside from the constant threat of violence, he was constantly harassed by his peers in later years, in high school, due to the way he would dress as a teenager - consistently mistaken for a girl and repeatedly hurled homophobic insults towards him. In other words, he knows what real racism, oppression, homophobia/transphobia, and disenfranchisement looks like - because he lived it (not just talks about it in tweets for ‘sad porn’ likes or to make money off it). Proof was provided from an investigation on this particular individual who was debunked and shown to be an out right bully and malicious liar. He also used sensitive topics related to the LGBTQ community to hide his lies - out right disgusting! The particular individual goes by the name David (though you will see he lied about this too), this can be seen on his online publicly available Instagram and Facebook accounts: IG: https://www.instagram.com/spookyfag FB: https://www.facebook.com/funeralboyx As you will see in the following conversation, David verbally insults and immediately exhibits a malicious intent towards Mono - falsely accusing him at first to be Ethan Kath, simply because he had no avatar. Mono then points out the fact that his Youtube account has video uploads of over 10 years ago. Then later, David counters by revealing that he had been informed of the name Mono goes by with only a limited number of individuals (Mono made no prior disclosure to him - as he had no prior interaction with him up until this conversation). David then fictitiously recounts a fake encounter with Ethan Kath and Mono calls him out on it, all while David hurled disgusting personal insults at Mono. Then, upon further investigation, “Lydia Noir” aka David, was finally revealed. Unbeknownst to him, David attempts to act confused or attempts to play stupid, not knowing he had been caught in the act of trying to portray himself as a false victim, just to slander Ethan Kath publicly. David later claims Mono is being transphobic for calling out his bullshit and that “Lydia” doesn’t go by “David” (he goes by David on ALL his other accounts and Jupiter Keyes publicly uses the male pronoun “he” when referring to him in a recent Instagram post - more on this later). David clearly presents an out right lie, as his name is in fact David, it is mentioned everywhere on his profiles. David also claims Mono is a stalker for figuring out his bullshit lies (which was all publicly available upon the investigation). David completely ignores the fact that David first called Mono by his name, without any warranted reason. Perhaps Mono doesn’t want to be called that for a reason? Maybe Mono is going through gender transition? How could he know? Maybe Mono too, is gender fluid? It’s hypocrisy at its finest, and the fact he would use LGBTQ issues as a scapegoat for his lies and deceit is out right WRONG. There is far too much stigma behind the community, enough is enough! Even more disturbing, David claims he has heard A LOT about Mono. Who is the stalker again? Creep. The irony is not lost: click here for source of image: http://i.imgur.com/YKHwpuX.png Here is direct proof, “Lydia” is in fact David and is connected to Jupiter Keyes, red highlights are provided to serve as guide only, in order to help people connect the dots (the non-highlighted images can be found here in this folder via Mega: https://mega.nz/#F!slIQ2AqI!oHsxvpGHT2UbmcCoFRQtFQ): source: http://i.imgur.com/FTdf0FX.png this is David’s G+ account: https://plus.google.com/b/115634923863613260731/105512219911288503796 which he used to try personally insult and slander source: http://i.imgur.com/hN8cMg7.png and you can find the original pic source from his musical fb site: https://www.facebook.com/FuneralBoyOfficial/ source: http://i.imgur.com/4VTzuZN.jpg source: http://i.imgur.com/f7TPbWx.jpg source: http://i.imgur.com/884aRjd.jpg source: http://i.imgur.com/aBD7Oti.png Lastly, the only other account where David pretends to be "Lydia Noir", is on his recently created Twitter acount and he out right claims ONLY to be a DRAG QUEEN: source: http://i.imgur.com/dQ1hGmM.png and link to twitter account: https://twitter.com/LydiaNoir666 I find this issue very personal to me, as I myself am transgender and I 100% stand by Mono, against this hate and hypocrisy. It is deplorable and it should be denounced by everyone with a decent moral compass. Mono has reason to believe Jupiter obtained and told David information about him. He believes this information likely was transmitted from 1 to 5 particular individuals who are devoted cult-like followers of Alice Glass (and by proxy, Jupiter Keyes), who were once Mono's friends at one point. Alice, let alone Jupiter, would have never known he went by this name (he never revealed this to them personally, ever). These devoted followers would be the only ones who would know his name and would be able provide detailed information to Jupiter and Alice. Why Jupiter would share this information with other devoted followers, who Mono never encountered in his life previously, is beyond anyone. But seems highly suspicious. It seems they may have been trying to slander or spread lies about him, using the information provided to them. It’s out right disgusting and disgraceful to target yet another fan of music. Here are two “anonymous” blogs who are attempting to slander him right now: source: http://sleekandcheap.tumblr.com/post/150378436864/i-have-screenshots-of-mono-harassing-a-young source: http://acheybod.tumblr.com/ All because he enjoys and appreciates Crystal Castles music. Unbelievable. It’s out right disgusting, and deplorable. What’s even more incredible, these hit jobs on reputations seem to be done as a favor towards Jupiter, who recently promoted a go fund me on David’s behalf on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/BJ1gOL_D3IS/?hl=en&taken-by=jupiter_keyes Unbelievable! What’s more incredible is David got a brand new car the very same week he started his GoFund me campaign. What the fuck, weren’t you supposedly short on funds? Unreal. Lastly, Mono wished to be quoted:

“I just want to to say: Before anyone accuses me for speaking on anyone’s behalf. I speak for myself and myself only. Not for anyone else. No one tells me what to think, what to say, or how to feel. I’m attending my last year at the University of California, one of the top universities in the world. I think it’s safe to say I know how to think for myself, critically. Thanks. I will not be intimidated, bullied, slandered, threatened or harassed into silence by those who have lived a life of privilege. I’ve always spoken out against oppressors and constantly participate in mass protest against powerful individuals and entities (more recently, I helped oust a chancellor at my university for corruption - I don’t fuck around). I’ve been chased, beaten, and arrested for my activism by the militarized LAPD and Oakland PD, and I’m willing to die in my fight against those who oppress and deceive. Therefore, I do not fear, nor will I passively abide to a narrative pushed on by overly immature childish occult-based-hipster gentrifiers, the byproducts of ‘white flight’. That zit on your skin, that’s me. Insistently and annoyingly serving as a reminder of what you really are. Do what you wish to me, you’ll be doing no more than what’s already been done to me and what I’ve been through. Show me your true skin, once more. Fame and money are a decadent joke to me, rot in it, all of it. You’ll have to kill me, to silence me. I’ve lived around violence most of my life, I’m not afraid to die. I have nothing to lose. Please take note however, I do want to stress this to people publicly: I don’t want anyone harassing anyone involved, especially not on my behalf. If they themselves choose to continue to act in such a demeaning manner, let them do so (even via private communication) against me. So be it. Let them show their true skin, once more. Only remember this: Karma’s a bitch and it spreads like a virus. Love ya. /mwah xo -Mono”

Alice Glass ‘Likes’ Photoshopped Pic / Supports Lies / Winks At Account That Promotes Misogyny

click here for larger image

UPDATE: the Instagram account deleted their posts (both of them, the one with the actual ‘like’ from Alice, and the other one with the screenshot of the ‘like’ of Alice - the first picture), lol. Hence the saved screenshots as proof.

Here is the original list of her ‘liking’ the now deleted pic/post:

Well that was quicker than expected, in what seems like something out of a political campaign gaffe, Alice Glass was spotted supporting an account that spreads misogyny (it pits Edith Frances against Alice Glass, using photo-shopped images - in essence calling Edith Frances a fake, using fake photos).

Alice Glass ‘liked’ the image that implies she had pink hair (she never had pink hair).

What’s more absurd, is that account is using photo-shopped images to make their sexist remarks:

click here for larger image

Here is the original image of Alice Glass:

No pink hair. Lipstick and jacket colors were also altered.

We didn’t think it could get any lower, but people prove us wrong, it seems.

It should be noted, Edith Frances has had nothing but good things to say about Alice Glass. In a recent Rolling Stone interview, she said the following:

Amnesty (I) is Crystal Castles' first album since the departure of Alice Glass. … Are you open to talking about her departure and the aftermath? No … We're only talking about the new era. And, you know, only because we want to respect her. … Not being able to talk about herself and be here.

That's fair! Consent is key. But in this new era – do you find that Crystal Castles fans are receptive to your performances? When it comes to replacing a frontperson of a band, many fans can be unwelcoming towards a newcomer. Alice was an awesome frontwoman, but it is crazy how receptive people have been. It's been overwhelmingly positive. The shows are fun and … loud. Just think about all the bands that have had second singers. … Like Black Flag, Iron Maiden, Carcass … The list goes on and on. And it's amazing to get a good reaction. I mean, my favorite Black Flag singer was Henry Rollins, and he wasn't the first lead singer they had. It goes to show you, it's an evolution. Things change. Growth is always positive.

Alice Glass: The Trail Of Contradictions

Back in February 21, 2008, in an interview with Now Toronto, Crystal Castles were scheduled to have a chat about their music:

“Alice Glass is missing. Not milk-carton and missing persons report missing, not Amber Alert missing, but she might as well be. Neither her bandmate, Ethan Kath, nor their manager has any idea where she is or how to contact her. They have no idea why she’s a no-show for this interview, or when, or even if, she might be lured back to do one.”

Ethan went on to talk fondly of his ex-bandmate:

“The live show is where Alice comes in. She’s the face of the band and fills up that space quite nicely,” admits Kath, as their recently completed album plays on a laptop in the background of their manager’s downtown apartment. “As soon as I saw her perform [with her old band, Foetus Fatale], I knew I could trust her and that I wouldn’t have to look over anything she does. Whatever she’d put on my tracks would be fine, and she’ll never write a clichéd lyric.”

source: https://nowtoronto.com/music/crystal-castles/ Over the following time period, Alice claimed she was restricted/frustrated/desperate in Crystal Castles, but interviews from Now Toronto and such as those done with with MTV, paint a different story - here she is speaking freely:

youtube

Here she is in another MTV interview:

youtube

The magic of video. She claimed she had to leave (and thus ‘ending’ the band - a bit pretentious, we must admit) in order to ‘own her own darkness’. In a more recent interview, with NME, she claims she was even lying to fans:

“I felt like I was lying to my fans even though my way of speaking out was the most honest expression which I had available to me at the time. Now I feel like I'm finally learning to use my voice.”

source: http://www.nme.com/news/nme/93280 So apparently those MTV interviews, where she speaks out for women in the music industry, that wasn’t her voice. What were those exactly? Not sincere? How does that work? Either you’re lying to fans and living a lie or you weren’t. Which is it? It’s contradicting. In Alice’s first interview as a solo artist, from February 17, 2015, she stated the following:

"I don't have to answer to anyone and I can take my time. Even if only a handful of people want to come to my shows it's better than living a lie playing stadiums.”

source: https://i-d.vice.com/en_gb/article/crystal-castles-leading-lady-alice-glass-is-embracing-her-own-darkness She never gave an indication that she was miserable, restricted, or ‘lying’ while she was in Crystal Castles. When Ethan attempted to finally take credit for his work (in an attempt to take control of the chaotic situation) and to counter the narrative that the band was over, Alice tweeted out:

for the record, i wrote almost all of the lyrics in my former band and the vast majority of the vocal melodies

— ALICE GLASS (@ALICEGLASS)

April 17, 2015

i was a founding member of crystal castles and shaped the sound and aesthetic from the very beginning

— ALICE GLASS (@ALICEGLASS)

April 17, 2015

Ok, so she wasn’t restricted at all! Right? What? Which is it? If you’re a founding member, shaping the sounds (including the aesthetics), and are writing a part of the lyrics (including part of the vocal melodies), then where were you restricted again? I can’t think of a single area where you would otherwise be restricted, being part of a band. What other things do bands do, apart from lyrics, sound shaping, and touring? Are we missing something here? It sounds like Alice had complete control over her contributions and never had given an indication otherwise (she claims she had control in her tweets). Everything saids and points to this… well, that is, unless she’s attempting slander her former bandmate in an interview, then she was restricted, suddenly. Which is it? It’s contradicting. Till this day, these accusations have never made much sense in the context of the band. Perhaps one day we’ll find out the truth to all this. For now, we may never know what exactly happened to Alice Glass. Further, if she was restricted, who is to say she isn’t now? What if she is trapped in a similar situation with Jupiter Keyes? We can’t know, because Alice Glass herself claims she lies, and can endure living a lie - even in a restrictive environment. Or at least a supposedly restricted environment. That is to say, it’s only restricted when she can take a stab at someone, then it’s not and she had full control over whatever she contributes to any project she’s involved with. Don’t worry, if this confuses you - that’s because it is confusing. It confuses us very much as well. There's more to this story than what Alice leads one to believe. A solid story never contains these level of inconsistencies. Till next time. Castle Grayskull, signing off.

BREAKING: THE REAL ETHAN KATH EXPOSED!

"We liked the Madonna image because we thought it was a symbol of a strong female, and that even though she has been battered, she is still standing and staring defiantly. Nothing is going to knock her down. It's a perfect symbol of a strong female." Ethan Kath, The Guardian Interview, 2009 “Hopefully girls could learn from Alice. Hopefully she can wash away all the lessons from the mainstream media. I think she has the power to.” Ethan Kath, NME Interview, 2012 "It was taken at a protest in Yemen. A boy was pepper-sprayed and beaten by cops and his mother thought that he had been killed in the fight. In that moment she’s found him and she’s crying from happiness because he’s still alive...The woman is the powerful one in this picture, the male needs her, and I like that." Ethan Kath RE: (III) album cover, NME, 2012

Mainstream Music Media Bubble: Exposing Music ‘Journalists’ (And Their ‘Friends’) For Their Blatant Biases Against Crystal Castles

(click here for original image)

UPDATED: included new screenshot of Alice Glass following Brandon Stosuy and vice versa (further below article)

As some of you may have come to realize in recent times, many in the mainstream music media press have been putting out “hit” pieces against Crystal Castles.

From declaring Crystal Castles dead (pretentiously believing they have the right/authority to do so) to projecting their inherent biases onto their live performances - it has been an endless stream of a puke of unfounded nonsense. With no facts to backup their ‘feelings’, ‘journalists’ such as Rhian Daly of NME, resort to creating a slandering narrative based on assumptions and lunacy.

Evan Rytlewski of the hipster-driven Pitchfork media ‘news’ site, with his English ‘masterpiece’, dedicated an entire review on ridiculously over the top assumptions: from disparaging a religious sect (cover of Amnesty features religiously persecuted Mennonite girls from Bolivia) to even managing to objectify Alice Glass (unwillingly I may add - that’s how sexism usually works - as he spent the majority of his time pushing a narrative in her favor). If it hadn’t been for the fact the website was titled ‘Pitchfork’, you would have been inclined to believe one was reading something out of a TMZ gossip news piece.

Other articles, such as the one pushed by Hazel Cills of MTV, set out to disseminate a sexist narrative of Crystal Castles, that ironically turns out to be a sexist article in itself. Her failure, largely due to an endless fixation to call out Crystal Castles as being ‘sexist’. Ultimately ending her absurdity with the ridiculous notion of claiming Crystal Castles are attempting to go ‘mainstream EDM’ (did she even bother to have a listen to the record?). Last I checked, Tiesto or Jack U collaborations with mainstream artists such as Justin Bieber, do not quite sound as dark, chaotic, aggressive or let alone noisy. It’s a cute attempt by clearly someone in over their head. Rookie mistake, we’ll let it slide, right?

Speaking of rookie mistake, therefore, it shouldn’t be to anyone’s surprise that someone such as Hazel, would be publicly open about her distaste for Ethan Kath.

Here she is publicly supporting some douchebag to commit a felony against Ethan Kath:

click here for larger image

Of course, our lovely Hazel, immediately deleted her tweet once she was called out on it (oh no!), you’ll find her tweet now mysteriously gone ‘missing’:

https://twitter.com/SethBogartOK/status/771043657541644288

Gee, wonder where it went? Oh wait, except, once again, proving she is way in over her head, she mistakenly forgets.... wait for it... oops, that her ‘Likes’ are publicly available for viewing:

click here for original image

Way to fuck up Hazel! HA-ZEL- HA-ZEL! You go girl, you got this! Expect this too, to be unliked shortly (hence the screenshot). Love ya Hazel! Mwah!

We think it’s safe to say and assume Hazel is definitely replaceable over at MTV.

Oh, did we mention? Apparently Tegan And Sara too (and their mediocre music), approve of felonies (they’re at the top of the list of likes - see image). How surprising, considering they’re always speaking out for people’s supposed rights. Apparently breathing isn’t covered? Neither is misinformation, maybe they’re looking for another Tyler the Creator-like publicity stunt? Apparently everyone in the mainstream music industry is in bed with one another, there are no secrets here. The only true secret here is people fail to realize their ‘Likes’ are actually publicly available. Yup, it’s true!

Next!

click here for larger image ( source: https://twitter.com/brandonstosuy/status/622046707392598016 )

Oh, who do we have here? Oh, it’s another friend of ours from Pitchfork! Brandon Stosuy everyone! *claps*

Wait, sorry, he ‘used’ to work at Pitchfork (here’s his shitty resume, if anyone is looking to hire mediocrity), he has now since moved up! Now referred to as ‘Editor-in-Chief’ (Fancy! Sounds important. Cute!) over at ‘The Creative Independent’, whatever the fuck that means. Oh, he also manages, what we assume are ‘bands’. Never heard of any of them but it must be really rough out there, since apparently being a ‘journalist’ in this day in age doesn’t quite pay enough (no wonder they’re obsessed with click and bait articles). Or maybe if these supposed ‘journalists’ bothered to do any sort of work that resembles ‘research’, perhaps people would validate and deem their work as something worth of value.... Yeah, are we kidding ourselves? That’s not gonna happen, as the Brandon’s tweet allows us to delve so deeply into his psyche - his words so elegantly written, that they immerse us in highly intellectually in-depth topics worth of discussion. *yawn*

Hey, who’s that responding to his tweet?!?! :O

click here for larger image (source: https://twitter.com/tom_hawking/status/622046810815770625)

Oh hey! It’s Tom Hawking, ‘Editor-in-Chief’ from Flavorwire everyone!

Whoah, Tom! Do you kiss to your mother with that mouth!?! :O

Why so angry?!? >:O

Who’s Kool-aid have you been drinking? No, seriously, who’s Kool-aid have you been drinking? Where exactly does your anger stem from? Why so angry towards Ethan? Yikes. We ask, because just like you, we are looking for the truth! We are looking for the source! Oh wait... so are you:

click here for larger image (source: https://twitter.com/tom_hawking/status/622047381454999552)

WHY WON’T YOU LET US INTO YOUR HEART TOM!?!

Wait, why would you be looking for the source? Ethan Kath has never publicly been accused of doing any wrongdoings? At least not any warranting such animosity and HATE? Wouldn’t you need a credible source from which your current anger stems from?

So we ask: source?

Where the fuck is your source, the source of all your anger? It wouldn’t be from someone spreading rumors wouldn’t it, via... oh, I don’t know, social media and private messages? If so, are these sources credible? And if so, why not expose them and allow everyone to make up their minds on their own. Instead of COMPLETELY going dark on Crystal Castles articles on Flavorwire since November of 2015: http://flavorwire.com/tag/crystal-castles

We can’t imagine, someone as honest and credible as Tom Hawking, would EVER have anything do with this, could he? I guess we’ll never know!

Oh yeah, did we mention? Brandon has other friends, who also like his tweets:

click here for original picture

Sup Max! Max Mertens everyone. Huh, lets have a look at what Mertens ‘does’. I see, Canadian Editor of Thump for Vice, huh? Interesting, Crystal Castles originated from Toronto, Canada too. Pretty cool! So Max’s resume includes: Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, Exclaim, Now Toronto and Noisey. Noisey being another subsidiary of Vice. A subsidiary, who has not been as subtle in letting the world know how much it ‘appreciates’ Crystal Castles to its fullest:

http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/searching-through-the-shade-between-alice-glass-and-ethan-kath

Keep up the great work Emma Garfield! Your Noisey readership loves your honest and unbiased reporting, just judging by the comment section alone:

click here for clear (it becomes blurred on here automatically) and larger pic

click here for clear (becomes blurred automatically on here) and larger pic

Hey, someone’s gotta keep these ‘journalists’ in check, right? The PEOPLE.

She’s so fair and neutral to everyone in all her articles, including when it involves Alice’s only single thus far (produced coincidentally by Jupiter Keyes): http://noisey.vice.com/en_uk/blog/alice-glass-just-broke-the-silence-around-crystal-castles-and-announced-a-new-song

So fair and just!

Ignoring the fact that Noisey has failed to cover Crystal Castles since July 2015, I think it’s safe to assume this is the fundamental online news site for all our music news needs.... except, not really. Perhaps Noisey should stick to sending out their news crews to exploit minorities for a cheap and easy sad-porn stories on poverty in Chiraq for everyone’s sick perverted enjoyment? Yeah, sounds like a good idea.

What’s even more interesting however, is who else is on that list of likes from our friend Brandon’s disparaging tweet against Ethan Kath. Lets have another look:

click here for the original image

You might have noticed our friend Jake: Jake Friedman.

See, Jake is an interesting fellow. Not so much for what he’s done, but more so for his direct links (at least in our case). He’s the missing puzzle piece in this story, after what seems like an endless tunnel of never ending puke of bias. You see, Jake runs We Are Free Management. Guess who originally managed Alice Glass after her departure from Crystal Castles? You guessed it, Jake - Jake from We Are Free management:

click here for larger image

Here he is listed next to Heathcliff Berru from Alice’s bio at the time on Twitter, how lovely! (side note: we covered Berru before, regarding his sexual harassment ordeal: http://castlegrayskull.tumblr.com/post/149830343002/alice-glass-co-controversial-associations)

click here for larger image

How interesting! We wonder if they all kept or still do keep in touch with one another? They sure all liked all their tweets, like some sick perverted circle jerk! Especially ones that slandered Ethan Kath. Hmm, but again, I wonder why so much petty resentment? Were they being told something none of us were ever made of aware of? If so, why was this never made public? Or is SOMEONE waiting around for another publicity stunt? Or maybe it was all made up rumors, and all these so-called gullible ‘journalists’ believed in rumors that were never verified, let alone vetted or questioned, but nonetheless were treated as ‘truth’.

Now, to be fair (because we are at the very least fair in our reporting), we found during our research: Jake and We Are Free management no longer represent Alice Glass, and have not for quite some time now. Further, Jupiter seems to have been kicked out of HEALTH, potentially severing any direct ties.

UPDATE: ALICE GLASS FOLLOWS OUR ‘FRIEND’ BRANDON STOSUY

and he follows her back... screenshot provided in case of an ‘unfollow’.

source:

Alice: https://twitter.com/aliceglass/following

Brandon: https://twitter.com/brandonstosuy/following

In short: Fuck the mainstream music media press and the overall industry that sleeps with them hand in hand. They’re all sleeping with one another, and expect their asses to be kissed in order to gain their worthless approval, as if they were relevant in this day in age. Fortunately for us, in the real world: THE MUSIC MEDIA PRESS NO LONGER MATTERS.

Allow us to let you in on a little secret, that some us are completely aware of. Some of you may have heard about it, it’s called: THE INTERNET. Yeah, we know, it’s pretty shocking stuff, but apparently you can bypass the pathetic poor excuse of music ‘journalism’ and take your message to the masses. You know, the people. The ones that actually matter. Not these archaic gatekeepers that bare no relevance whatsoever in today’s world. They’re just as much of a fad as the music blog was circa 2008. How vintage!

So today, join me as we bid farewell to the music news press. Farewell!

R.I.P. NME

R.I.P. PITCHFORK

R.I.P. MTV

R.I.P. STEREOGUM

R.I.P. NOISEY

R.I.P. THE MAINSTREAM MUSIC MEDIA PRESS

You won’t be missed, let alone needed.

Special shout out to Grenade for helping us piece this together! And Trembled for providing to us our tombstones.

PEACE OUT HOMIE.

Jupiter Keyes: AFRAID To Own His Own ‘Darkness’, Exhibits Signs Of A Mental Breakdown (Still Unable to Face The Young Women He Exploits For His Own Personal Gain)

click here for larger image, provided in case of any potential deletion (source: http://instagram.com/jupiter_keyes)

In what seems to another desperate move on doubling down, Jupiter Keyes plays the role of white knight, saving the day once more - all while attempting to gain “sympathy” for only wanting to defend his girlfriend.

How tragically romantic!

Except this isn’t a Disney movie and no one is harassing Alice Glass, but they sure are calling out Jupiter Keyes for his lies and deceit.

In typical fashion, he is continuously deleting anyone who mentions the name of the girl he tormented psychologically, which we had previously covered: http://castlegrayskull.tumblr.com/post/149827420122/alice-glass-jupiter-keyes-marginalize-mentally

You wont see these posts on his Instagram, as they have been deleted by Jupiter Keyes himself:

click here for larger image (see the comment section)

Here’s another:

click here for larger image

and, one more:

click here for larger image (comment section)

The irony is not lost. While normally, such noble remarks could be taken as sincere and meaningful, he fails to acknowledge and goes to great lengths to hide the fact he himself victimizes young women. Failing to own up to his own darkness and lies. Like a prince in a Disney movie, he seems to suffer from some sick Disney prince complex, where poor young defenseless ‘princesses’ are simply seen as rewards for the prince’s valiant and noble deeds.

Just as he’s made sure he disposes of young women who no longer serve use to him, he makes sure he wont have to deal with those who speak against power, by banning and thus silencing their voice:

Further, he fails to provide any proof of his claims. Yet disturbingly, in what seems to be something out of a cult, his close followers fall in line and announce their endless love and devotion for him amongst accusations:

This is starting to resemble the endless devotion straight out of a Scientology propaganda film. Jupiter Keyes is airing out his dirty laundry and it’s proving to be rather disturbing than previously anticipated.

No evidence of his public accusations have surfaced (he still fails to provide any, but expects his loyal followers to not question but accept his claims without proof). However, those who have not been indoctrinated, are consistently defying and calling out his lies and deceit on Instagram.

Lastly, it should be noted, in a shocking turn of events, Jupiter has potentially been kicked out of his former band, HEALTH:

Doubling Down Like Donald Trump: Jupiter Keyes Falsely Accuses Ethan Kath Of Anonymous Accounts

click here for larger image source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BILYqRrjlbk/ and click here for a larger image of original post

In what seems to be a move out of desperation, Jupiter Keyes is accusing Ethan Kath of orchestrating “anonymous” Instagram accounts. Jupiter fails to provide any proof to back up is claims, but nonetheless has doubled down on his claims and posted screenshots of his desperate comments on his Instagram:

Further countering his lies, the user has come forward claiming they are Vivian.Cancer on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/vivian.cancer/

Claiming they created the account in order to make a posting countering Jupiter’s original lie (that originally accuses Ethan Kath of petty manipulation), as he had previously been blocked by Leocanzonieri: https://www.instagram.com/leocanzonieri/

As pointed out in a previous post found here, the Affection video Jupiter claims to have 10 million views has been debunked and proven to be an out right lie. Even with the facts presented to him, he has doubled down like Donald Trump at a white nationalist alt-right rally. Further proving his thirst for controlling the narrative, even when the facts run contrary to his manipulative tendencies.

Here’s a direct link to our debunking coverage: http://castlegrayskull.tumblr.com/post/149831848077/crying-wolf-fact-checking-alice-glass-jupiter

Crying wolf about Ethan Kath further confirms his unexplained blatant bias and fixated hate he harbors towards Ethan Kath. To the point where he will make up misinformation about Ethan, even when the data and facts clearly state otherwise.

Stay tuned for our coverage on the mainstream music “journalist” media bias!

Reddit: Alice Glass Falsely Suggests Grimes Plagiarized Her - Fallout Ensues

click here for original image

source: https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimes/comments/3si0s5/some_grimes_instagram_drama/cwy7syv

According to Reddit, “Alice posted a quote that looked somewhat similar to one that Grimes did recently for the Dazed Magazine. This led some people in the comments to believe she was referring to Grimes and that Kill V. Maim was the "stolen" idea.“

Once she realized she had to substantive evidence to prove this, Alice soon deleted her post, and posted the following non-apologetic statement:

However, not without any repercussions. Prior to the incident, Grimes had been supportive of Alice and vice versa:

source: https://twitter.com/aliceglass/status/592093797309292545

Just as the tweet implies, they use to follow each other, both on Twitter and Instagram according to users on Reddit: https://www.reddit.com/r/Grimes/comments/3si0s5/some_grimes_instagram_drama/cwxnu2j

But now they no longer follow one another on Twitter, nor on Instagram. Leading fans to speculate a falling out between the two, due to Alice’s false accusations against Grimes.

Neither has expressed support for one another since the ordeal.

In reaction a Reddit user states the following:

“I hate when people wax passive aggressive on social media. If you're gonna call someone out, ready yourself with a foghorn and actually call them out. The hesitancy to do so just makes it seem as if you don't have anything substantial to call out, and I don't think Alice does. AA sounds nothing like anything Alice has ever put out.”

Well said!

Crying Wolf: Fact Checking Alice Glass & Jupiter Keyes’ Accusation of Ethan Kath Discrediting and Erasing Alice’s Contributions to Crystal Castles

source: https://www.instagram.com/p/BIMFsrVBoeH/?taken-by=_alice_glass&hl=en

click here for a larger picture (in case post is deleted - she was deleting comments that went contrary to her narrative on her instagram post)

In more recent times, Alice and Jupiter have accused Ethan Kath of discrediting and erasing Alice’s contribution to Crystal Castles.

On Instagram, she claimed Sad Eyes and Affection had been deleted without her consent or knowledge. On another post, by a fan on Instagram, Jupiter confirmed their accusations were directed at Ethan Kath:

source (do not be surprised if Jupiter Keyes deletes at a later point, hence screen shot images): https://www.instagram.com/p/BILYqRrjlbk/

Here is his second response, this time referencing Ethan Kath’s age (apparently he loves discriminating against age too, even though Ethan Kath is only a few years older than him, ironic):

once again, same source (again, see lower right corner for his second response and screen shot presented in case of deletion): https://www.instagram.com/p/BILYqRrjlbk/

For whatever reason, he further perpetuates this misinterpretation of the numbers and facts. As the following will prove to be, Jupiter Keyes (especially Jupiter) and Alice Glass are crying wolf.

Firstly, as we can see the videos still exist and are up and running.

The video of Affection is still up:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RqqXT44veI

Published on Apr 26, 2013 (from the official cc youtube page, not the vevo page). It has a total of 435,119 views to date (September 2nd, 2016).

Sad Eyes is too, still up:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JjAdfDrh8v0

Published on Jan 20, 2013 (from the cc vevo page, no the cc official page). It has a total of 1,867,233 views to date (September 2nd, 2016).

Those who have experience with creating youtube content, are aware, once you delete a video, you can’t get it back. All it’s associated views, comments and date-stamp are forever gone. How then, can Alice Glass explain these inconsistencies of public accusations of Kath supposedly “deleting” her contributions to Crystal Castles? The facts and data do not back up her claim.

Secondly, Jupiter Keyes claims the Affection video had been up to nearly a whopping 10 million views! Amazing! ....Right? Except, as it was clearly pointed out, the views of the videos come nowhere near those numbers. Where then does he get these preposterous numbers?

Only two Crystal Castles videos come near and surpass those numbers, and one video is from 2008.

First, Crimewave from a live performance in 2008 in the UK:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2gdbQpESNY

Published on Jul 6, 2008 by a fan (not vevo or crystal castles). Currenlty has 13,731,312 views as of Sept. 2nd, 2016.

The second, from the biggest their biggest single, Not In Love ft Robert Smith (technically it’s not even a video, it’s just the track and screenshot in video format):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32udqal_lyQ

Uploaded on Oct 26, 2010. Currently has 14,716,410 views, as of Sept 2nd, 2016.

These videos took nearly 6 to 8 years to accumulate these numbers, and Jupiter is claiming Affection (which was nowhere near as a commercial success as Not In Love ft Robert Smith was) somehow managed to nearly do it in just 3 years?Nothing what Alice or Jupiter claims adds up, as the facts and data prove. Is Jupiter living in a fictitious dimension, unbeknownst to us? Or is he simply attempting to manipulate the narrative surrounding Crystal Castles and Alice Glass? It seems to be more so the latter than the former, but it could be both at this rate!

We give these accusations a Pants-On-Fire rating:
