Ariel Pink

i mean he's drug damaged but a lot of it is for show.

what about geneva jacuzzi? are they cut from the same cloth?

nah she's norm.

I've set fire to all my AP mp3s since reading that interview ffs

based on stories, i don't think either of them are mentally ill, just normies that aren't very intelligent that do drugs and want to "act crazy" because it's cool or something ..

These days I tend to think of Ariel Pink as the harbinger of Burger Records culture.

I think of him as the logical conclusion to American Apparel culture

Sounds like the perfect crossover point either way!

Geneva Jacuzzi should have kept the name Bubonic Plague imo

Geneva Jacuzzi ruleZ

Isn't burger records just like garage rock, do they put out lofi soft rock?

Why does this idiot make ppl so mad, my word

Still love his old records, more anecdotes from the posters in the scene though and I may stop loving then

the production/mix of the busier, more dense tracks on pom pom and the new one is kind of hard to listen to.. dunno how to describe it - it's very claustrophobic, the sounds don't really breathe? or they're very compressed-sounding. "another weekend" sounds great, though

who would've thought the guy who opened a 2003 album by yelling "The human race is a pile of dogshit!" quickly followed by "Mankind is a nazi" would say something stupid

love this moment

humanity's the devil

One part of the interview I thought was interesting was when he mentioned that the music gets done first and the lyrics last.

Assuming it's Dam on Acting ?

Is this guy really a norm? He really got me with the whole outsider art for the mentally thing.

*ill

xxp yeah it is

fuck this song is so good, better than the one on pom pom

Post of the year

this bit from the Stereogum stuck with me... besides the fidelity, there really is a difference in the songs he recorded pre- and post-2004:

I just wanted a little bit of love and attention. I didn’t even realize it for 26 years, you know? Then when it came, it was like, aw shit, that’s it? I don’t have the same urge or drive to create like I used to. That was all just a desperate plea for attention. Maybe that’s what informed it and made it so vital at the time, but that’s gone now. I had to rearrange my mind on how to write songs. I definitely don’t do it the same way or for the same reasons that I used to.

ah yes, norms who do drugs to induce chemical depression/psychosis. For those norms who feel left out of the mentally ill equation.

his dad is a millionaire colonoscopist who got convicted for fraud once

why is he not in jail?

Was his dad also known as Dr. Mario?

lol

lol calstars

I guess this has managed to avoid the radar for like 5 years but umm wtf

Chairman Meow Best Cat Name it is not. ...

reading the track list is more entertaining than listening to the songs

ripe for a poll IMO

KKG is bloated but "R. Stevie's Brain" is a classic

On first listen this (the new album) is pretty good

"Make me a man" etc

Jameson IS good, I think. The relative concision and tidiness after pom pom threw me at first.

Didn't know that I Wanna Be Young and Dedicated To Bobby are reworks of his old tunes.. :

Interesting! Were these on any of his "official" releases ?

no, not on any of the Paw Tracks albums or Scared Famous or Loverboy. my friend is a massive AP head and has all this stuff on its own external hard drive. i think those are both from Yas Dudette (which has multiple versions with different sequencing and mixes).

I Wanna Be Young was on the official Oddities Sodomies compilation. Time Dandelion is rare and is on the Oddities Sodomies tour cdr.

(hadn't made the connection of reworkings yet because I've yet to hear the new album)

oh yeah Oddities Sodomies, iirc that's where the original (superior) version of "Beverly Kills" comes from

No, Beverly Kills is from Scared Famous/FF>>

Time Dandillion (dandelion?) is pretty cool but I prefer the fidelity and better chorus of the remake. Tinsel-town tran hey!

xp ohh whoa, shit nvm, i was confusing Oddities Sodomies with Grandes Exitos: Greatest Hits. i assume it's the same recording/mix, although who fuckin knows...

xpost is that definitely the lyric?

Really enjoying the b-side to the "Another Weekend" single, "Ode to the Goat (Thank You)" - that one isn't on the album right? love this line in the chorus: "hashtag yipikayay-ay!"

Sounds tasty. Got a link?

It didn't come with a download code :( I'll email Mexican Summer and try to get one, song is dope
