Attn: Self-proclaimed lovers of weird/lo-fi punk.
I give you Ariel Pink. Although he has been around foreva, how come no one on here is in love with this guy. Isn't this weird punk? Probabz better than or at least equal to half of all deez lo-fi/weird punk bandz. You Guyz like R. Stevie Moore????? There BEsties!

DEBATE
-
The problem with Ariel Pink is his influences is 70's LITE ROCK. I wanted to like this shit when Jaguar first hipped me to it, but it just didn't really jibe with me. It's not that bad or anything, but it's not good.
-
DEBATE? How about you use the SEARCH function and catch up on the over-and-done-with debate. Or just have my cliff's notes. TermBos that have not met the guy write him off as a pampered rich kid who is unauthentic. TermBos that have met him say he really is genuinely strange. Opinion remains divided upon these lines, and the whole 70s soft rock vibe of many songs.....which is really a matter of whether you share that same perverse fascination with the man.
-
I'd rather listen to Dino Felipe!
-
I dig the House Arrest Lp a lot. His stuff can be awesome but he's pretty spotty (tons of releases) but there are some cool jams.
-
He does have some alright songs. I went through a hater phase based on my impression of him as a spoiled LA jew. I'm over it. Whatever, doesn't change the fact that his shit is yacht rock with ass production.
-
Let's put it this way......If you're ever up late at night and see the infomercial for the TIME/LIFE collection of 70s hits, and then you find it oddly appealing and cannot turn away, then you probably owe it to yourself to try on some Ariel Pink. If you quickly change the channel or wanna puke, just pass!
-
i think some of his songs are really great, but not all. i went through a HUGE ariel pink listening spree summer of 2006. my roommates and i listened to him pretty much every day. saw him w/ gang gang dance and octis in 07 and it was pretty cool. will probably go to his show w/ little claw in portland next month. not every song is good, but i can 't think of many bands where i like every single song so whatever... also i like some yacht rock i guess, because i sang doobie bros at karaoke on friday. so um, good times. wouldn't call him punk or even weird punk though. lo fi yacht rock sounds about right. def. not for everybody or even most people, but then what stuff on this board would you recommend to most people?
-
I mentioned on here seeing him years ago in LA, he came off like a douche but the set was pretty fun. I'd never heard of him before that night, and I have no interest in hearing the recorded stuff. He seems to think he's some sorta addled guru.
-
i saw him play like two years ago, never really listened to him. he's alright IMO, would never buy his stuff, but if someone plays his stuff, my ears ain't bleeding or nothing. i remember him being a big vag about the sound though (guess da sound guy sucked, don't really remember) and he was pretty upset about it after da show, i hurd someone had to comfort him until he felt better.
-
Ya gotta understand that some of my resentment towards the dude had to do with the fact that I was making lo-fi music for years under the name Pink Reason (and getting heckled with shit like "worst band ever" when we could get shows, which wasn't often) when all of a sudden all these people I knew started talking about some other dude with "pink" in his band name who was supposedly doing the same thing, and then I listened to it and even wanted to like it at first but felt like "woah, this shit is really cheesy." So I kinda backlashed against all that. I got nothing against the dude. I'm sure he's cool. Not so into most of his tunes though.
It's probably nice shit to smoke a joint and hang out by the water to, I'd imagine.
-
You really should try to party with this guy sometime, Kevin. I bet you'd have a hell of a conversation. Record it and put it on vinyl. Pink Reason meets Ariel Pink...Spoken word album of the year, I'm sure!
-
R. Stevie's shit can be pretty amazing, pretty fucked up and the sign of a brilliantly deranged mind. He's been doing the basement thing forever, seemingly half trying to be famous or at least recognized and half totally exploiting the lack of restrictions on his craft. If you don't like a certain recording, fast forward a couple years in his catalog and it will be very different.
-
Cullen, you should talk to Sean about Ariel Pink. Because that is all he ever talks about anymore. Or, even better, instead of starting stupid Terminal Boredom threads, why don't you e-mail me back.
-

Ariel Pink Reason

fuck this shit
tho I gotta admit that one song that sounds like WEEN is pretty jamming.
-
I like a couple of Ween songs. First time I smoked crack I was listening to Ween. Felt oddly appropriate.

thats actually why he rules. i love 70's lite rock

-
i am a fan of his records. doldrums and house arrest are my favorites with FF(might have been some cd-r? i dunno. i have mp3s) in second place.
-
saw him this summer and it was alright. i like his sounds, but i don't think its anything revolutionary. give me nick nicely any day. r. stevie moore is good shit. john maus is really great, played keys for ariel pink for a while. if anyone is out of his mind, he is.
Ariel is fantastic, although his new 7" was the most polished record I've ever heard him do. I'm not sure if it suits, and so this next album will be interesting for sure. John Maus is amazing, and a great guy too, he came to play my friends birthday party in the UK because he had a free date! More people should make music like the Neverending Story Soundtrack, and sing love songs in baritone over the top.
-
Oh, and with R.Stevie and Ariel loving going on here - we should also talk about Gary Wilson - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WsrOs7OTbHQ
-
Authentic or not, saw him 2-3 years ago in Toronto and it was one of the hands-down worst shows I've ever been to.
His recorded material is the epitome of "could do with or without, who cares".
-
Bandmate told me a story last night about playing a show with him. Said he had some woman slinking around him the whole time with a hair dryer, alternately blowing his hair or hers back.

That's really gotta burn a balding bitch like you out, huh?

I'm not moved enough by any Ariel Pink I've heard to actually buy any of his music, but I was really curious about seeing him live after the extremely unfavorable reviews came back after he played the Blue Lamp here in Sacto a couple years back. A lot of his big fans were really turned off by what they described as a long rambly jam that didn't resemble any of the songs they loved. Nor did it fit the style, and lotsa people commented on his attitude being very strange and maniacal on-stage. I know that it ended with him getting kicked out, and the manager of the club banning him from coming back. I was kinda bummed that I missed such a flameout.
I got my chance a few months later when he'd come back. Apparently, the dude that booked that show at Blue Lamp never got the message from the manager that Ariel Pink was to never come back, so he booked it again at the Blue Lamp. After he'd already loaded in and was in the midst of his soundcheck, the manager recognized him and started throwing a fit...."YOU!?!?! NO, NOT YOU!?!?! WHAT DID I SAY LAST TIME??!!!? GET OUTTA HERE!!!"
So he loaded out and left, leaving the promoter high and dry pretty much...Dozens of people were waiting for refunds when some kids on bikes made it back from the Blue Lamp to a house where we were having a little show. Phonecalls were made, and we managed to unlock Fools Foundation and get Ariel Pink in there, and several of the people followed him over from the Blue Lamp. The show then really clicked. He played all his "hits" for his adoring fans. They were happy. I was actually much more impressed with it live and on record. But I was still curious as to when this alterego would come out and spoil the show, like what was reported last time. Well, it did surface eventually.....they played a ridiculous disco psychjam outro to a song that just get mutating and getting funnier and weirder, and Ariel Pink was making all these gesticulations like he had itching powder, and then all of a sudden, he'd be all cool and collected and acting shamanistic...and then he'd start pretending to fly and swim through the air, all while yelping into the mic like he was trying to get people to party harder. One by one the fans started to file out after this "outro" exceeded the ten minute mark. It was clear that this ship was taking off and not coming back to earth. This was some serious comedy gold.
So even if you don't like him, I recommend you check out the live show and hope it all goes horribly wrong.

Todd, you seriously look like you have your cheeks stuffed with marshmallows at all times. Like a puffie junkie, only I'm sure your drug of choice is Ben & Jerrys. Your speaking voice is like Peter Ivers crossed with a whiny, gay leprechaun. You're also the spitting image of this dude in Seattle whose nickname is "King Penguin McFaggotty". Should I go on?

What'll happen, you'll taunt meee a saykond tyyyme? If you haven't figured it out yet, I don't care about online insulters, I usually think it's funny. And "started it" was you asking if I were 12 because I preferred ordering from distros with pictures and information so I could keep my orders straight. So whatever buddy, you sure were nice when I talked to you!
-
uh-oh...I thought you guys were joking. Here comes Caustic Todd!

What I really wanna see is the ass-kicking Lane I keep hearing about. Pounding skinheads and beating down packs of jackasses. For real. Lay off the pot and bring back the beatdowns. You and Newly Angered Mitch can tag-team and shit.

I'd gladly beat the hell out of someone with Mitch.

So whatever buddy, you sure were nice when I talked to you!
I was nice, I bit my tongue after you made a weird backhanded comment about my t-shirt. Sorry buddy, should have got it out of my system then.

Fuck the haters, "rival leaders" is still a rager...

I'ma stick ma dick in yo ear.

Guess I can sorta understand not being down with the '70s soft rock thing goin' on, but I think Ariel Pink is fucking good at what he does. Don't really care about the coke-headed hipster fanbase or whatever other superficial things people are taking issue with--he makes some really great jilted pop. Would take his music over Blank Dogs ten times out of ten.
His band is pretty solid nowadays, and lately they've been playing great covers of the Dovers' "She's Gone" and the Human Expression's "Calm Me Down" alongside the new stuff.

What a ridiculous thing to say. You haven't even invented the sort of emotions that pass through your songs, let alone the 'lo-fi ' sound. Get over it, if it wasn't for the internet you wouldn't even have a chance to exist as an artist.

Maybe. I had my shit available for free on the internet for years before anyone paid attention. I think if I never would have self-released my shit on my own I never would have had a chance to exist as an artist.
By the way, I don't care for the tone and what you're suggesting about me, so perhaps you'd like to clear this shit up in person sometime? I get around. I'd be happy to discuss this face to face.
-
TERMINAL BROEDOM!
-
It's also worth pointing out that I didn't grow up listening to garbage like Sebadoh and fucking Smog, cause I was never an indie rock faggot. In my little limited worldview in rural Wisconsin what I was doing was pretty fucking unique, but even then I never ever claimed to have invented anything as I have always been very up front about the fact that I was just following the inspiration I received from Egor Letov, Grazhdanskaya Oborona and the Siberian punk scene.

Playing lame internet tough guy? You'd meet me in person, and dare suggest a physical fight, I'd kick the shit out of you quicker than you can sing 'Down On Me' while a gun is being pointed to your head. You might find it funny to call faggot this and faggot that, you'd certainly wouldn't find it funny defending your gracile, effeminate body while a heavy duty, more talented than yourself faggot is landing you one right in the middle of your ignorant American face.

Carry on, entertain me.
Smog is indie shit? Are you an idiot?
And what the fuck have Sebadoh got to do with anything? I think they're shit too.

Gracile, effeminate body? I guess you've never met me. ...and you obviously know nothing about me, which is indicative of everything you've posted.
Let me break it down for you, you wouldn't be the first to put a gun to my head. You wouldn't be the first to shove a cock down my throat, if you truly are the faggot you're claiming to be. You wouldn't be the first to beat my ass, but you would be the first in years, so if you wanna take my suggestion that we discuss this shit face to face as a threat, and wanna respond to that threat physically, I'm game.
I've never suggested I invented lo-fi. You're a fucking idiot if you think a dumbfuck backwoods kid like me who was too busy listening to shit like Crucifucks to know that a band like Desperate Bicycles ever existed, much less shit like V-3. I have never heard Smog and it was only after putting out a record on my own that I ever found out what Sebadoh or whatever other lo-fi American bullshit sounded like. I have always been up front about the fact that Pink Reason borrows heavily stylistically from the Siberian punk scene which were all home recorders, so I have never, ever, in my fucking life suggested that I invented lo-fi. As for not inventing the emotions in my fucking songs, what the fuck are you suggesting? You wanna make personal judgments about me, you keep them to yourself unless you're reviewing my records, or talking to me face to face.

ariel pink came to play where i live but couldn't get through 3 songs before quitting because he didn't like the PA. he was babying hard.
like dude's records alright though. new haunted graffiti ep has a good b-side at least.
-
That dude from Smog ran the Replacements fanzine "Willpower." Bill Calahan or whatever. He drew little comics where Tommy Stinson would be walking around and shit as well as Joan Rivers style banter about Replacements minutia. This was around the time he was making his early recordings.

hey kevin, i got nothing but love and respect for you (e mne nravitsa shto ti viras s nami russkami, e slushaish russkayu muziku), but it seems that you are way too protective of a scene that doesnt exist. lo fi, weird punk, whatever. it doesnt exist anywhere but this message board. even the people who participate in it are constantly talking shit about how gay it is and are constantly trying to distance themselves from it. we know youre cool. you dont need to prove yourself here.

Not trying to be nit-picky, but I can't find anywhere in this thread where Kevin is protective of a scene (be it one that does or doesn't exist...)
Are you referring to when he said that both Pink Reason and Ariel Pink have been described as lo-fi? Because I'm sure a quick google search could show that both bands have been described as such.
The only time I saw him getting protective of anything is when someone made a personal jab suggesting that the emotions in his songs aren't real.
Not trying to stick up for him or anything.... just seriously wondering. Thanks!

i read this board and i constantly see kevin talking about how he is real lo fi and ariel pink or wavves or whatever is fake lo fi. which is ridiculous to me because him and many other people here are constantly talking about how they dont associate with the whole lo fi/diy scene.
its so schizophrenic. you like it, but youre supposed to act like you hate it.

I'm not going to speak on Kevin's behalf, but my understanding is that his music turns out the way it does because it has to either due to financial issues or other such circumstances. When someone more privileged, such as Ariel Pink, records his stuff lo-fi it is a conscious effort to sound that way, and therefore comes off as somewhat contrived. The same thing applies to Wavves.
-
i haven't seen ariel pink or wavves bank statements, but can't people record a certain way because they like how it sounds? seems reasonable enough to me.

my eyboard is fucd

Yeah, but I guess the point here is that Ariel Pink is purposely marginalizing his resources in order to recreate a sound whereas Kevin doesn't have that much of an option and his music is therefore a more honest depiction of who he is.
-
obviously we need to have a benefit so that kevin can record the next pink reason album with nigel goodrich and stop the pink reason vs ariel pink argument which shouldn't exist in the first place.

-
There is no Pink Reason vs. Ariel Pink argument. The post in question which some people are trying to derive an argument from is an explanation for feelings that I had quite some time ago (we're talking multiple years in the past) which were brought up by someone else.
The next Pink Reason album is being recorded in a studio with nice equipment, big amps and a live backing band. I am not joking. My track on the upcoming World's Lousy With Ideas comp was also recorded under similar conditions.

doesn't matter. i think he's okay. i like the song "jules lost his jewels" a lot. your logic is annoying and irrational. being interested in and inspired by an artist's living/ working conditions is one thing. demanding that they meet arbitrary lifestyle requirements before they can make the sounds they wanna make is fucking gay.

I'm not demanding that he does anything. I'm not saying that if he was shit poor and recorded in the same manner it would be any better. What I have stated is simply a matter of personal opinion. I'm not laying down any laws that state that Ariel Pink absolutely sucks dick (save the sarcastic remark I made to you previously). I personally do not listen to his music, but that is a choice I have made based on what I have heard by him and not based on his decision to record lo-fi when he has better resources. I could give a shit if anybody else here listens to him. It's their choice.
-
If you listen to "Can't hear my eyes", and compare the production to his earlier releases then you will hear a huge difference. I don't think resources should even come into the equation - it doesn't matter if you live in a mansion or on a council estate, if your influences are the likes of turkish psych, italo-disco, and mutant-sounds downloads, then you would hardly expect him to create something so well produced himself.

i luv him

I just put out an album for FREE download from this guy. He's an ex-member of Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti (he played alongside John Maus, and R.Stevie Moore - oh and Ariel of course). It's Maus-esque, industrial, 80s, wonderful.

As long as we're pimping shit here, I got an R. Stevie Moore ep coming out in May. "U.R.True + 4". Very correct.

Ariel Pink are playing Copenhagen in two days...worth checking out? Only heard a few tracks that JP Bonneman (Gorilla Angreb) played on my radio show...sounded pretty good.
-
He has "a band" now?
-
He's in the new Wire (UK) talking about the greatness of Hall & Oates.

As they say on the Internet...

He's had a band the last three years during the couple shows he's played up here.
-
I only saw him some years back in his hometown, so I figured he always pulled the solo duct-taped cassettes thing.
-
Saw him last night in Rotterdam, best show of 09 for me so far.

Thanks. Will check him out tonite then.

When I saw him, he had an almost Wavves-like meltdown on stage, super-stoned and complaining about the monitors the whole show. The harmonies sounded really good, though, and close to how they do on record.
I thought that was part of his act. He had a guitar, but he didn't touch it once.

Fantastic show! Not in league with the recent shows I've seen with The Intelligence and Nobunny/R'n'R Adv Kids...but still a damn fine gig. I detest my job and whatnot at the moment, but that show got me smiling again.
-
I dont know if he will be big in 09 but, he was definitely the best show that I have seen all year. the jams are so smooth, and there is a hint of sarcasm with all of his stuff. I can understand why people dont dig it though. It can be pretty cheesy but, I think thats the point. the guy is pretty insane as well. I got money on kurt vile as big in 09.

it is a mystery

This shit is the worst shit of all the shit.
-
that song Round and Round was kind of catchy, but maybe I don't 'get' him...does he do the whole 'being in a band and playing music' thing ironically or something?

I think some of the shit is truly great for that reason. There's lots to make fun of about "seriousness" frankly. Especially if you embrace nihilism (hell, even if you appreciate it at a distance). Absurdity can always be put to great use. It will ALWAYS challenge those who love to order their universes neatly. That's why there's no room for "copycat wierd". That can be ordered easily in people's heads. How do you classify this retarded shit? That's the beauty I think. I don't have any of his albums, but if he makes me do triple takes and starts people off in polar opposite corners, I can tell you right there the nigga is onto a stride.

So he's a modern day P.T. Barnum. Hoooooray.
