based on stories, i don't think either of them are mentally ill, just normies that aren't very intelligent that do drugs and want to "act crazy" because it's cool or something ..

These days I tend to think of Ariel Pink as the harbinger of Burger Records culture.

I think of him as the logical conclusion to American Apparel culture

the production/mix of the busier, more dense tracks on pom pom and the new one is kind of hard to listen to.. dunno how to describe it - it's very claustrophobic, the sounds don't really breathe? or they're very compressed-sounding. "another weekend" sounds great, though

who would've thought the guy who opened a 2003 album by yelling "The human race is a pile of dogshit!" quickly followed by "Mankind is a nazi" would say something stupid

One part of the interview I thought was interesting was when he mentioned that the music gets done first and the lyrics last.

this bit from the Stereogum stuck with me... besides the fidelity, there really is a difference in the songs he recorded pre- and post-2004:
I just wanted a little bit of love and attention. I didn’t even realize it for 26 years, you know? Then when it came, it was like, aw shit, that’s it? I don’t have the same urge or drive to create like I used to. That was all just a desperate plea for attention. Maybe that’s what informed it and made it so vital at the time, but that’s gone now. I had to rearrange my mind on how to write songs. I definitely don’t do it the same way or for the same reasons that I used to.

ah yes, norms who do drugs to induce chemical depression/psychosis. For those norms who feel left out of the mentally ill equation.

Jameson IS good, I think. The relative concision and tidiness after pom pom threw me at first.

Interesting! Were these on any of his "official" releases ?
― calstars, Friday, 4 August 2017 17:25 (six years ago) link
no, not on any of the Paw Tracks albums or Scared Famous or Loverboy. my friend is a massive AP head and has all this stuff on its own external hard drive. i think those are both from Yas Dudette (which has multiple versions with different sequencing and mixes).
― flappy bird, Friday, 4 August 2017 18:09 (six years ago) link
I Wanna Be Young was on the official Oddities Sodomies compilation. Time Dandelion is rare and is on the Oddities Sodomies tour cdr.

oh yeah Oddities Sodomies, iirc that's where the original (superior) version of "Beverly Kills" comes from
― flappy bird, Friday, 4 August 2017 18:36 (six years ago) link
No, Beverly Kills is from Scared Famous/FF>>

Time Dandillion (dandelion?) is pretty cool but I prefer the fidelity and better chorus of the remake. Tinsel-town tran hey!
― calstars, Saturday, 5 August 2017 01:08 (six years ago) link
xp ohh whoa, shit nvm, i was confusing Oddities Sodomies with Grandes Exitos: Greatest Hits. i assume it's the same recording/mix, although who fuckin knows...

Really enjoying the b-side to the "Another Weekend" single, "Ode to the Goat (Thank You)" - that one isn't on the album right? love this line in the chorus: "hashtag yipikayay-ay!"
