Ariel Pink

(I mean, if they pull the one album they did with him)

Oh wait, several albums. wgaf about him I can't remember how many there were (their site only lists Pom Pom).

he did three with 4AD and has been on mexican summer since

Megyn Kelly to the rescue! LOL

This guy got cancelled just for going to listen to Trump speak on Wed. He says he didn’t join the protests/riot (& his label isn’t claiming otherwise). Just *attending* the Trump speech was a cancellable offense. https://t.co/Nk6Dm5aEcD

I said this on another post but I still think there's an outside chance Death in June will be mentioned on Fox

oh god I hope not

Megyn Kelly defending Ariel Pink, didn't see that coming.

I wonder if she'll play "Round and Round" on her segment outro or go for a golden oldie like "Trepanated Earth" or "Jules Lost His Jewels"?

"Butt House Blondes" would probably find a lot of traction with the Fox viewership.

Those first few records were really good, but unlike some of the other bands of the time, he was ALWAYS an awful performer. I saw him live a few times, and it was always terrible.

Funnily enough, every time I've seen Dam-Funk live, it's been terrible, too, and the last time I saw both of them live it was THE SAME NIGHT in San Francisco, 2008, and I was on a lot of molly.

I know the purist take is the early stuff is best but I was a big fan of his “crossover” run - I guess Before Today, Mature Themes and Pom Pom. Saw him live twice and it was excellent both times. Haven’t been spinning those records much in the last 5 years though, as with Swans I can always think of something I can enjoy more with fewer complications.

The only musician related to Ariel Pink’s live performances worth a damn was Tim Koh

I have a personal issue with this man, unrelated to his music--which I maintain is consistently good, great, or brilliant--or political beliefs, and I swear to god just give me a hammer and one hour alone with him. Not a threat. Just a wish

Remember when he was on a brutally unfunny episode of Red Eye in 2013?

I just watched this and I think I hate you for making me aware it exists.

He (was) good at recording weird parts meticulously with a 4 track. Also sucks that he’s associated with Ash Ra. Did I already post that?

Went off this guy after before today. Not ashamed to say I wanted him to stio fucking around and make some more 'proper' albums but I guess that was not for him

Still love doldrums and worn copy though. If I stopped listening to every person with fucked up politics I wouldn't listen to many artists.

dedicated to bobby jameson was pretty good as a "proper" album except for the part where his gross politics seeped into it more directly than ever which along with his antics getting increasingly bad and/or visible (i wasn't aware of the before today tour assault stories etc. until people brought it up then in response to other shit he did in 2017) was the end of my interest in his music
