Ariel Pink

gary war, blank dogs, & ducktails are all Post-Pink though. Hey, Post Pink would have been a better genre name than chillwave.

gary war, blank dogs, & ducktails are all Post-Pink

oh yeah shit yeah. was just trying to locate postpink ground zero in 2008/2009. fuzz-splitting.

i remember thinking Before Today got a rave rating on Pitchfork because he had attained this status as an indie demi-god around that time, and Pitchfork wanted to keep up with the times. background being they had shat all over his entire discography years before.

lol, I just revisited some of the earlier parts of this thread and saw that dumb pitchfork doldrums review and googled nick sylvester since he sounded familiar and I thought he used to post here. I guess that idiot got his comeuppance.

are you gonna look after my boys???????

I never realized that the videos for AYGLAMB, kate, and politely declined were all directed by the same guy who did those gi joe psa videos!

what's his name? cos he's probably more influential than AP

haha. eric fensler http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fensler_Films

apparently he's a writer for Tim & Eric

Two children are in a kitchen. In fairly unintelligibly slurred speech, the first boy says "You're not cooking.", the second boy responds "Yeah I do". The curtains in front of the stove catch on fire and the boy operating the stove tries to say the word "fire" but only stutters it instead, saying something along the lines of, "ba-ba-ba-ba-ba-baa-baaa-baaah." Blowtorch runs in, shouting "Porkchop Sandwiches!" This line is one of the most frequently quoted by fans, and Fensler has until recently sold T-shirts sporting the phrase. He arrives at the kitchen door and in a panic-ridden voice orders the children: "Oh shit, get the fuck out of here! What are you doing? Go, get the fuck out of here, you stupid idiots! Fuck, we're all dead! Get the fuck out!" His panicked tone of voice contrasts oddly with his calm body language. Outside, he tells them, "My God, did that smell good!" prompting a stream of gibberish from one of the boys. One of the boys says something along the lines of, "Detective, I did no going and then you tell me do things, I done runnin'..." This is met with Blowtorch's staring toward the camera, followed by a closeup of that same stare.[12]

til it was "yeah i do" not "yeah dude"

i'd really like to hear more anecdotal stories about ariel's meth use. ever since i read this thread, and that christopher owens interview where he says "we're on different drugs. i'm a junkie, ariel's up all the time bouncing off the walls," his whole cultivated aura of mystery and weirdness seems a lot less contrived. certainly explains the shit live shows and the sheer volume of his recorded work....i don't know

yep he was amazing 2nite

Ariel Pink is in bed and talks about bloody vaginas

I wish that interview was ten times longer and in the middle the girl turned into an Oompa Loompa

wow what an asshole

http://pitchfork.com/news/56089-ariel-pink-i-got-maced-by-a-feminist/

lol

archie bunkercore

Besides the rampant misogyny, that story makes no sense at all.

wish he would get off the smack and make more music

Errr... not that the former makes sense either come to think of it. #confused

He should definitely quit doing interviews.

no way - he needs to go on howard stern. could rival victoria jackson 2012

he loves howard, it could happen

He loves Howard? Where did you hear that?

So, I know people in the Pink camp and he has a new record coming out this fall that is supposedly the greatest thing he has ever done by far.

Just saying. Love Grey Sunset.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

<333333 madonna and grime ethering this prick from both sides. DRAG HA!!!!

in what universe did ariel pink get ethered? pom pom will shut everyone up

“I guess it’s called ’throwback,’ but the first record was so good because of the songs. It’s been a downward slide since … ’Ray of Light’ is not cool. And all the other stuff she’s done after that, it’s not like it matters. It really shows a drain of values. People need more substance in their mac-and-cheese. People need more sugar or something.”

he's taking the piss/being rush limbaugh!! it's schtick

Fuck grimes

Who gives a fuck if it's a schtick, what a creep

he's like, semi-coherent and rambling half the time. it's creepy but do we really care what he says about stuff or expect him to be politically conscious and self-reflective?

I don't know that I "care" but it's like wow he seems like a dick

A.P. is wrong about when the slide began. True Blue is a great album

If it is schtick it's massively tiresome and unfunny, I still like some of AP's music but the guy comes across as more and more dickish with every interview he gives.

what's even more schticky is his bullshit psychedelia-fetishizing lo-fi music with lyrics about battleship and sausage. at least sun kil moon released an incredibly poignant album this year before kozelek decided to go full-troll on a band over sound bleed

ariel pink is def a total dick without a doubbt but i still fuck w/ those earlier albums. doldrums and worn copy are pretty amazing imo

house arrest too

i'm way over this dude

I still have not been to a live show worse than this guy.

I saw him when he toured with Os Mutantes & was mildly amused by how much his live set sounded like his recordings. He's just gross though.
