Arial and Travis would go together like Chip and Dale - they're both talented artists and musicians who wear cowboy hats.

Pink was particularly irked that his criticism of Madonna had been deemed misogynistic, a charge that he has faced before. “Everybody’s a victim, except for small, white, nice guys who just want to make their moms proud and touch some boobies,” he said. His publicist gave up.

“I’ve been the next big thing for, like, ten years now,” Pink said. He wore an unbuttoned plaid shirt over a plunging V-neck, with splotches of red nail polish on both thumbs. “I feel really old.”

Conversations with Pink tend to veer off course. “I love pedophiles. And I love necrophiliacs,” he once told an interviewer, who had asked about neither. In the car, Pink began to explain his feelings of persecution while fingering a cigarette with one hand and scrolling Twitter with the other. “What if I committed suicide and tweeted, ‘Thank you, guys. You were right’?” he said, of Twitter’s mob mentality, which he then equated with the Hutu Power movement.

Dude should join gamergate from the sounds of it. Fight those SJW's keeping him down!

Black Ballerina is so incredible. This is the SIGN O THE TIMES of our generation

Dreaming of John maus / a pink "4 way street" side 1 cover

"We'd like to introduce our friend John maus"

Maus busts out "believer", crowd stunned

Hey, does anyone know who did this song originally?

the best track yet for me is not enough violence

Pig Parade rules

not a rick springfield cover sadly

Well, this certainly veers from great to awful and back a whole lot

crazy album, totally overwhelming, reminds me of Mellon Collie

there's one bad song on this whole thing

ONE BAD SONG

"Exile On Frog Street"

the rest is a very high piece of art

Guys-

Ariel Pink Announces Solo Double Album pom pom !

Yeah. This thread is for discussing Grimes.

new panda bear ep!

ok ok ok ok ok (this album)..wow.

I would like to say that I have no interest in working with mermaids /[fakereceivedpronunciationenglishaccent]

This sounds like Mr Bungle

elo vs. tubeway army

Sounds more like Zappa than ever. They weren't lying about this being his magnum opus though. Pretty much untouchable record.

Half good half shit.

Where's the shit?

curious to hear it. enjoyed "before today" and "mature themes" is okay but i really do feel like a substantial part of the AP appeal for me was having these weird pop tunes submerged in hazy lo-fi crud, i actually did feel like the production served his tunes really well, that whole aesthetic can suck for a lot of other bands but for his shtick i think it really worked.

I want to know what filters Pink uses on his voice, or microphones. The delivery on "Cocaine man has got a Portabello world" for example.

Haha holy shit this record! Ariel really Zappa-ing out the very best of his tune-smithery and shenanigans. This beats BT and MT by miles and miles. And yet it's not a return to Doldrums either. I can see why he left off the Haunted Gaffitii part of the name for this. As it is truly something else, even for him and his extensive back catalogue. Continues to amaze, this guy.

So many songs on this that are instant classics. 'Picture me gone' for one. Amazing.

"Plastic Raincoats in the Pig Parade" is so so incredibly sad for such an upbeat song.

Jell-O is the best song in the history of the universe right now. Whatever universe. The sound of the band Yellow combined with maximum riffage combined with teenage Cobain like lyrics ("mom and dad are normal, everyone eats white bread, that's why they're all dead"), combined with stadium rock, combined with Beefheartian style switches... I am perplexed: as a long time follower, Ariel Pink gone done it again.

This kind of sounds like the old ones, but doesn't. It's the best of his "new style." I've been wanting the same thing.

who wants to go to the emotional olympics!!?!
boooo

All these descriptions are really making me want to hear this. I think he's always had a latent Zappa sensibility, so it's cool that it's coming to the fore now

Each song is a mini-masterpiece that blossoms with each listen. Magnum opus indeed!

pom pom is also noticeably LOUDER than most everything in my iTunes... a/b-ing with Mature Themes is crazy
