he doesn't bound around the stage or anything, really it depends on what/if any drugs he scored before the show. i'm so fucking bummed i missed him due to weather last week because judging by the setlist he got some good shit (pom pom in its entirety plus half a dozen oldies & 3 song encore. they even did round & round)

you should go! he might be dead in a year
saw him in 2010 in nyc and lucked out an a great setlist/performance. such a great show when he's on
― soyrev, Friday, 6 March 2015 05:53 (nine years ago) link
can everyone stop saying he'll be dead with a year on this thread plz

friends who went to a show of his last month said it was great

Feel like "Any Downers" by Zappa has a real strong presence on the new Ariel Pink, particularly the first half of the album.

Ariel Pink produced an album that came out last Friday:

It's decent.

youu could play this and ppl would ask "what's that" and you could tell them and they wouldn't be filled with disgust.
― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 22:39 (seven years ago) link
i mean, except for the interlude at 1:40
― Treeship, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 22:40 (seven years ago) link
'everytime i die at miyagis' is one of my very favourite songs
― flopson, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 23:19 (seven years ago) link
haha i had forgotten how stupid the interlude in this one was. immature spoken word Ariel Pink interludes would be a good poll
doubt many ppl irl know that he's verboten now, tbh
― flopson, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 23:24 (seven years ago) link
he's never said anything particularly bad anyway
― PaulTMA, Tuesday, 25 October 2016 23:58 (seven years ago) link
I was in the mood for some early Ariel earlier today
― calstars, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 00:06 (seven years ago) link
once every so often some friends and i will be chilling listening to AP and inevitably one of us will ask 'what your fav AP song?". the interlude in miyagis always forces me to dig deep and pick another song. so for that i appreciate it.
― dynamicinterface, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 00:10 (seven years ago) link
i like how his impulse toward self-sabotage is evident even in his songs
― Treeship, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 00:11 (seven years ago) link
I'll confess, the interlude in black ballerina still cracks me up
― flopson, Wednesday, 26 October 2016 00:20 (seven years ago) link
my favorite is from "Hang on to Life" but I'm not sure it's not Jorge Elbrecht and not AP:
Hey man, what's the latest?She did what?How could she think that's cool?Can't believe these girls, man

spoken intro to "don't talk to strangers" is the best, it's like his thesis statement

I meant "the best" as in great, not literally

i once heard the crystal castles' song "plague" at the brooks brothers in palmer square in princeton. i mentioned this on ilx before and no one seemed to think it was notable.
― Treeship, Saturday, 22 April 2017 18:28 (seven years ago) link
it must have been a fluke though because it was followed up by the red hot chili peppers, which was really jarring

Thought you meant you saw them play together... Am revoking most, but not all, of my initial enthusiastic response.

john maus and ariel pink (and some others) have made it so i can't put my spotify "daily mixes" on in the store where i work anymore. for some unknown reason spotify insists on playing "every night i die at miyagis" and "just wait till next year," the latter of which contains radically misogynistic lyrics

You can click 'x' and remove songs from those playlists iirc? Your customers deserve to hear Miyagis. Everyone does.
― On Some Faraday Beach (Le Bateau Ivre), Saturday, 22 April 2017 19:17 (seven years ago) link
'Every Night at Miyagis' might be Ariel Pink's best song, completely transcendent and believable as a lost AM radio hit, but it has that chop u bloody punani vagina me feast on placenta bit in the bridge. #BeYourself #FollowYourDreams

btw, one of the guys in Animal Collective posted this pic of a window in LA a few months ago with the caption: "Was standing in a LA parking lot with ariel pink last weekend when he pointed at this nearby window and said 'thats the room where i recorded house arrest, loverboy, scared famous, ff, and worn copy.'"

Immersive sun-drenched faded 70s polaroid golden am radio Ariel is one of my three fave Ariel's. I dig this.

More than that. This is a fantastic tune.
― Le Bateau Ivre, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 23:30 (six years ago) link
It spaced me out on first listen and I couldn't even trap it all in my head. That's a good sign
― calstars, Wednesday, 7 June 2017 23:38 (six years ago) link
Def. Also a good sign: I can listen to it on repeat for an hour. Classic Ariel, this. Glad he's "back". (I didn't care too much for Pom Pom)

Agreed. PP was a miss
― calstars, Thursday, 8 June 2017 00:12 (six years ago) link
wha???????????????????????
pom pom is his magnum opus... he finally blew his lo-fi sensibility up to widescreen, the first two 4AD records were dry runs... i'm shocked any AP fan wouldn't love pom pom. Before Today and Mature Themes I get.
