Ariel Pink

i fucking love it

I've still not heard 'Ariel Pink'.

The fact that 'lo-fi' has been used NINE ZILLION TIMES in this thread with barely any answers...

... doesn't appeal.

But perhaps I am KNEE JERKING?!

i like The Doldrums A LOT, Worn Copy though, i don't know. It's not as catchy maybe, except for ' Jules Lost His Jewels'

Do asshole artists hire asshole publicists to get on asshole tv shows or do these assholes just find each other through asshole magnetism

Amazing.

Pink's logical endpoint, arriving at full MAGA, seemed inevitable given the dumb shit and blatant misogyny of the last decade or so. Am always a bit disappointed at failed misanthropes like Pink. I mean: we get it, you're a terrible person, but any trve misanthrope would never end up being a full-fledged member of #teamtrump. It's, quite frankly, embarrassing.

(amazing referring to the Carlson screenshot w/ byline, xp'd)

It looks like the roles of Tucker Carlson and Ariel Pink are being played by the same actor

otm x100

One of the problems with being a solo act is that you can't break up.

That's what alter egos are for.

Pink also uses the podcast to discuss arguing with his doctor father about COVID, maintaining that the vaccine “doesn’t actually stop you from getting the virus… It just stops the symptoms.”

um...maybe I misunderstand how the vaccine works but...isn't this true? iiuc it prevents the disease, COVID-19, but not coronavirus infection. The vaccinated can still carry and transmit the virus...no?

Maybe, maybe not. See, for instance:

https://www.thejournal.ie/pfizer-ceo-5323949-Jan2021/

But yeah, if that quote was meant to make him look bad, it fell flat.

have animal collective denounced this dude yet or have they been too busy scoring documentaries about soundcloud rap

re:the vaccine, its also just a pointlessly bratty "uh ACTUALLY" thing to argue with ppl about

otm

I guess that depends on the context, pretty obv. important and worth arguing if someone in your family is getting the vaccine and doesn't understand how it works. But as per pom^ this is a dumb point to beef w/

(I didn't listen to this clip because why)

I mean if there is any worthy "well, actually" this would seem to be a valid one

doesn't that imply that a vaccine wouldn't actually drop the transmission rates then?

his intent is to talk shit about vaccines and create doubt about vaccines not inform people with nuanced medical information

xp that is a concern abt it, yeah, it's why we need x% to get vaccinated

I get that ums, just saying it was irresponsible to pull that quote in the context of what I'm sure what a lot of legit misinfo

so the idea is that you get infected but don't get the disease, therefore making it so you don't pass it elsewhere?

this may be better on a covid thread

(no, idea is making it so you don't get sick or die form it)

from

obv important to know how the vax works, but for some strange reason something is preventing me from giving Ariel Pink the benefit of the doubt that his motives for this argument are purely informational vs enjoying having a gotcha to spring on people

I know this isn't the thread but I don't want to leave it hanging so let me just say -- the studies assessing whether the vaccine prevents infection and transmission have not been finished yet, but there is every reason to expect the vaccine to stop or at least decrease those. What we know now is:

* the vaccines all do a really good job keeping people from getting sick;
* they probably reduce infection and transmission but we are not sure about that yet

I think I'll wait until the medical experts like R. Stevie Moore weigh in on this

Yes but what are his INFLUENZAS!

I mean, who among us is shocked that Ariel Pink takes retrograde/trollish political stands when he released a 2012 album called Ku Klux Glam. So edgy.

from that Variety piece:

“because literally everything the Democrats stand for, every single platform, is bullshit. So Trump for me is an indictment on anything bullshit… I’m so gay for Trump, I would let him fuck me in the butt.”

I'm sure this has been suggested already, but are we totally certain this isn't just some terribly tasteless art prank? Maybe that's wishful thinking on my part. I still don't actually believe Vincent Gallo votes Republican, either. Not that it being a massive art prank would excuse any of it. Also not sure what the endgame would be of such a prank. I guess I find this all very confusing and not really that funny

gallo's thing isn't a schtick. neither is this.

this guy getting the benefit of the doubt even in 2020 makes me sick tbh.

artists are egomaniacs, how is it hard to imagine they'd be into trump

map OTM

for two reasons: fuck AP and 2020 is actually still happening

more like Ariel Stink amirite

artists are egomaniacs

as generalizations go this is a really bad one

this is like the morrissey thing again "eccentric" white guys with hipstery followings get the most ludicrous benefits of the doubt extended to them with this shit. maybe he's supporting fascism because he supports fascism and maybe supporting misogyny because he's a misogynist. maybe if i'm a fan this would be shocking but i'm not a fan because of why this isn't shocking

Ooof less than 400 views on youtube. I guess the MAGA bots that were “supporting” him months ago jumped ship when their contract ended.

What has less than 400 views?

A video for a new song (I guess that’s what it is, didn’t watch) he posted a week ago

I thought that was what calstars was referencing, went to his twitter to see if he had posted a song and he has but noone cares.

Nah I was just drinking last night and Menopause Man came on the shuffle.

he has a fucking song called menopause man
