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 can't make my waterface turn into a *fart* (Sufjan Grafton), Tuesday, 21 October 2014 22:57 (nine years ago) link
“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.

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

― Pentenema Karten, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:34 (nine years ago) link
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.
― marcos, Friday, 24 October 2014 20:38 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Pentenema Karten, Friday, 24 October 2014 21:10 (nine years ago) link
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.
― Pentenema Karten, Friday, 24 October 2014 22:29 (nine years ago) link
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.

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

That whole side (side 3 on the vinyl?) is my favorite. "Sticky cubes of Kool-Aid action"

I miss the more personal,intimate Ariel Pink songs, like Gray Sunset, The People I'm Not etc...It seems he somewhat lost it in a Todd Rundgren's Wizard True Star kinda way.

" Like, you guys can burn me on the stake for being an asshole. I'll be the biggest asshole, the biggest troll. I love the [infamously homophobic] Westboro Baptist Church, because I love being able to remind people that this a country where you can say, "You're going to go to hell," and you won't go to jail. People hate that. They hate that these people are allowed to do what they're doing, but they're just exercising their free speech, and it doesn't hurt you. They're just inciting. They're trying to play into your weaknesses, and they're doing it very well, because they're going to get your revenge fantasy on them. And you'll do it carelessly without any remorse, because you didn't get the right message from the lesson, and because everybody's just getting lost in the fucking giant miasma of opinions, and there's no sense to be made out of them."
