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

wow what an asshole

archie bunkercore
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.

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
― ET sippin the wig (spazzmatazz), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 10:52 (nine years ago) link
Fuck grimes

Who gives a fuck if it's a schtick, what a creep
― 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
― u2 removal machine (upper mississippi sh@kedown), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 13:52 (nine years ago) link
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
― marcos, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:32 (nine years ago) link
house arrest too
― Treeship, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:37 (nine years ago) link
i'm way over this dude
― example (crüt), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 15:39 (nine years ago) link
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
― Herbie Handcock (Murgatroid), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 16:01 (nine years ago) link
Hey.. I enjoyed Can't Hear My Eyes... especially the ending is great..
Anyway, I thought it was already obvious that Ariel Pink seems happy saying polarizing/half-baked/easily misunderstood things as a "talking head". You know, since the beta male rape thing.
― DDD, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 16:10 (nine years ago) link
This is so goddamn well put.
― a drug by the name of WORLD WITHOUT END (Jon Lewis), Tuesday, 14 October 2014 17:16 (nine years ago) link
I'm beginning to think that Ariel Pink is intentionally generating these blog-magnet misogynistic quotes just so people stop assuming that he's a woman
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:06 (nine years ago) link
What's mysogynistic about not liking Madonna?
― calstars, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:09 (nine years ago) link
It wouldn't necessarily be if this were the first example of stupid shit that he said
― voodoo chili, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:10 (nine years ago) link
Pretty sure most people just assumed he was a pile of shit xp
― fgti, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:10 (nine years ago) link
booming post the tune is space
― The Complainte of Ray Tabano, Tuesday, 14 October 2014 18:15 (nine years ago) link
I dunno I have had absolutely no problem with deleting/selling/ignoring the music of Ariel Pink 50 Cent Chuck D R Kelly Stephin Merritt at the very moment they reveal themselves as terrible assholes / harass a friend / hit a teacher / etc. etc. etc. I never got the "love the art / hate the artist" argument, I just say "gbyeeeeee" and that's the end of it
