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]

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

Thanks! "No Real Friend" is my favorite AP song since the lo-fi days.

Besides the rampant misogyny, that story makes no sense at all.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:45 (nine years ago) link
wish he would get off the smack and make more music
― i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link
Errr... not that the former makes sense either come to think of it. #confused
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:48 (nine years ago) link
He should definitely quit doing interviews.
― MikoMcha, Wednesday, 30 July 2014 17:49 (nine years ago) link
no way - he needs to go on howard stern. could rival victoria jackson 2012
― i also enjoy in line skateing (spazzmatazz), Wednesday, 30 July 2014 18:07 (nine years ago) link
he loves howard, it could happen
He loves Howard? Where did you hear that?
― calstars, Thursday, 31 July 2014 03:11 (nine years ago) link
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.

“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

― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 13:44 (nine years ago) link
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?
― Treeship, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 13:46 (nine years ago) link
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
― The Complainte of Ray Tabano, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 14:15 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Gavin, Leeds, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 14:28 (nine years ago) link
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
― slothroprhymes, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:21 (nine years ago) link
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

I still have not been to a live show worse than this guy.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:44 (nine years ago) link
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.
― example (crüt), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:47 (nine years ago) link
He badly sang over a cassette player or something and then threw a big grown manbaby temper tantrum over the bad sound. Fucking worst. Also, his early albums sucked as much as his new stuff, don't play yourselves.
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:49 (nine years ago) link
I like some of his songs a lot
sometimes it helps to just distinguish the records and the person, I think that applies here
but the trouble with knowing someone is a kind of a jerk is that then, once you know that, when you listen to their music you start to imagine their self-understanding as they listen to themselves and it gets gross, like breathing inside a rubber halloween mask- there's no more space because "the person" and "the art" got suffocatingly proximate.
that's why I like working on Shakespeare. we've got all this great art and know very, very little about him outside of the context of the art itself. it's nice to not know sometimes. Not that I would assume he would be a dick, but I'd just rather push off from the art.
― the tune was space, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:51 (nine years ago) link
I would rather only listen to music made by righteous and awesome people tbh
― fgti, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:53 (nine years ago) link
sure, it's a bonus definitely
― the tune was space, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:55 (nine years ago) link
i assume most of the time that maybe 40%-60% of the artists i listen to may not be pleasant people.
also i simply do not take it as a prerequisite for liking an artist that they must put on a great live performance
Also, his early albums sucked as much as his new stuff, don't play yourselves.
oh SHIT dude, thanks! you were right all along! thanks for engaging w/ my tastes enough that you realized i was just playing myself!! maybe i can list other albums i've enjoyed and you can tell me whether i'm mistaken?
― marcos, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:55 (nine years ago) link
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:58 (nine years ago) link
I have never had the real-life experience of anybody listening to more than 2/3rds of a single Ariel Pink song before switching it off
― fgti, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:59 (nine years ago) link
That's completely at odds with marcos' taste
