Most tedious thing said by worthless VHS idiot JOHN MAUS in p4k interview

anyway like i said this was probably in part due to me being mid mood crash and chronically falling asleep at spontaneous moments but yeah i've generally found that at festivals the sound in open air stages is considerably better than in tents. tents tend to be super echoey.

this baths album is pretty good too

THEY CALL ME THE BELIEVEEEEEERRRRR

remember this guy?

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.

The interview is better than most people's interviews.

he's pretty cute imo; wkiw and talk about Adorno w/this guy

i have the phrase "worthless VHS idiot" permanently in head now

yeah the thread was awesome. Sorry cute nervous Maus guy we all love you!

Reach his press contact here: christ✧✧✧@motormouthme✧✧✧.c✧✧

That contact is for John Witchmaus

lol

I CARE

The record is still really amazing...

THEY CALL ME THE BELIIIIIEEEEEVER

:-D

Can anyone enlighten me on some of his lyrics? I mean the man talks in rambling curlicues during interviews and then his songs tend to have just a couple of lines about Jackie Chan flashing across the world. I know very little about critical theory...

lol

xp neither does Maus

BOOM!

Still haven't entirely unravelled my initial misconception that this fellow was the long-lost third (and now decidely late) walker brother, returned to critical attention :(

When I meet other Ariel Pink fans, I feel like we understand each other, until I discover they also like John Maus, and then I wonder what it is they like about Ariel Pink, because the two are not even in the same ballpark.

Has anyone seen Exit Through the Gift Shop? I think of Ariel Pink as Banksy, and John Maus as Mr. Brainwash.

Now, if John Maus turns out to be an elaborate hoax, a Kaufmann-esque artistic statement created by Ariel Pink himself, then I would be the first to applaud both of them. I still wouldn't listen to John Maus' music, though...

Oh, okay.

Was it okay to like Maus when he was playing keyboards for Ariel?

Whatever scam they are running, it's getting both of them lots of alt pussy.

aka fleshlights

pretty much agree w/ public radio's post

valuable new posters

note: it is possible to like things that "are not even in the same ballpark." some people manage to like a great many different things. god knows why, but they do.

also: my whole world's coming apart is a good song. not too concerned abt whether banksy or mr brainwash gets to claim credit.

i think the poster is referring to "the ballpark of quality"

no such thing

which one is the cool one? that is the one i like

Yeah this is excellent. If he keeps this balance of clear but lo-fi his fingerprint will stay on the material. It's like a more sophisticated weathered sound. Well done.

The keyboardist and the drummer from Lilys are in the Haunted Grafitti now? Wow.

By the way I've been trying to get into John Maus for the last two days. Talk about a poor man's Ariel Pink. It's like he's trying to copy every aspect of Ariel Pink and just blowing it. That's got to be a bummer to shoot for crappy and fail.

there's so much bad music being made right now, who has time to hate on any one particular artist?

imagine the inner life of an ilx troll in 2012

I agree with contenderizer, though, that "My Whole World's Coming Apart" is a good song. I like "Navy Seals", too.

If you split the difference between Ariel Pink and John Maus, you get Part Time:
