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

ok before my "this song is ok" vibe gets used against me its kinda obv that this dude is a cunt and every other song i have heard is fucking terrible

important I make that clear

lol, every other song basically sounds just like that one

also for the original poll question purpose if there is anything more tedious than a dude in the right now talking about how the imaginary record clerks gave him the once over and were too cool for school and mean i dont even know

xpost nah i listened to a bunch of stuff where he was way more "steven merchant got super drunk and recorded the worst demo ever" level terrible

his music is not really that bad maybe you just dont like indie music

i know i dont

thank you captain obvious

ok so in the service of defending my "most of this is terrible"

which kinda ties up the terrible music you cant sing and the pomo smug shut the fuck up tribes in my head pretty well i guess

like no matter how you try to parse that it is pretty much the worst thing ever as far as i can tell

amazing

oh yeah!

holy shit

you dudes shoulda read his myspace page, dunno if its still up

he just made it horrible review after horrible review of his shit

yah its still up

REVIEWS OF 'SONGS' (2006)
It took this Ariel Pink cohort five years to write and record his debut album, and only five minutes to become more annoying than Ariel Pink. - CMJ
For me, this is just too weird. The first couple of tracks make this the most skip-able album of 2006. -Subba Cultcha
Apparently, Maus spent five years working on this album, which is a shame because, frankly, its awful. -Vice
There isn't one song you could call 'good' on the whole album. -Music Zine
Overall, I can't recommend this album even as a novelty listen. Maybe I just don't get it. It seems as if Maus sabotages practically any hint of an interesting melody, lyric, or instrumental part with a blatantly grating one at almost every turn. -Indie Workshp
Maus's baroquely deadpan voice - and thats being polite - effectively spoils many a song. Some will hear a little Nick Cave in it; others will hear a man crapping out of his mouth. -Drowned in Sound
If it is supposed to be funny, it is not. If it is meant seriousy, then Maus needs some SERIOUS help. -Another Zine

REVIEWS OF 'LOVE IS REAL' (2007)
His music now lacks the surreal, jarring juxtapositions that made his earlier work such a rewardingly confounding experience. Maus seems content to sing his heart out instead of rattling cages, which is rather a shame. -The Wire

I'm a big fan of his, don't really listen to his recorded stuff that much but enjoy it when I do, his live show is really great

man he is so lucky to have so many horrible reviews of his music to post

what are the odds

i mean, i really do love this turn of Ariel Pink/John Maus being derided for years and then being regarded as heroes when the narrative changes. It took disco like 15 years to make that happen, kudos

when did the narrative change

when we fell in love with the sounds of misremembered memories, hoos, teen daze and campfires, beach haze and waterlogged VHS tapes, cassette hiss and long beach trips looking out of the back of the station wagon while soft rock plays, hoos. the intangible memories of innocence lost.

I've always liked Ariel Pink! and I certainly don't think he's a "hero"

because the narrative is based on what crut thinks

well who exactly are you saying is touting him as a hero all of a sudden

i thought the narrative changed for ariel pink when he released a record that wasn't half bad, can't speak for maus

man everyone is writing it gets better songs these days

crut, sorry if im wrong (note: i'm not wrong, that's sarcasm) but isn't ariel pink regarded as the father of a genre that has its own iTunes features and countless alt-weekly articles and simon reynolds defense pieces and constant best new music traction

and thusly he gets to play festivals like coachella and jimmy fallon even though like two years ago he couldn't even fill the knitting factory

you have to be fucking kidding me

I don't know; I don't pay attention to that noise. I just don't think people are doing a weird 180 on Ariel Pink like you're implying?

i dunno look at the pitchfork scores and get back to me

I GUESS IT COULD BE A COINCIDENCE

ok I didn't realize u were talking about p4k specifially. but, yeah, we're all well aware that pitchfork rides trends and is not necessarily fair or consistent.

do i have to provide more examples or can i go to sleep

Pink has been a hero of mine and any right thinking person with functioning ears since 2004 when Doldrums came out

P!nk has been a hero of mine and any right thinking person with functioning ears since 2003 when "Trouble" came out

I like rights for gays. It's funny and camp and macabre.

Whiney, why didn't you start this thread and just split? You're in "most tedious thing said by cranky ilx harpy whiney weingarten in recent john maus thread" territory.

talkin smart to a pimp you done broke the first rule

I'm worried about "rights for gays oh yeah" getting stuck in my head.

P!nk has been a hero of mine and any right thinking person with functioning ears since 2003 when "Trouble" came out

really? you don't rate Get the Party Started?

I stopped caring about Pink after "Most Girls" tbh

I'm super jealous of anyone who has honestly never heard anything worse than "rights for gays"

rights for gays is really, really bad.
