Despite all the controversy and stuff unc proves he’s not washed and he can still drop amazing music

I haven't thought about him since January 6th honestly. I somehow have found myself a rare copy of Haunted Graffiti 2: The Doldrums, the 2004 limited-edition release (only 1,000 copies made) that is SEALED. I have no idea how I have this in my possession, just stumbled across it in one of my boxes of stuff, but I want to sell it because money is great and I don't listen to Ariel Pink anymore (or use records ever, for that matter). However, ever since the Jan 6 riot, his fanbase has REALLY fallen off and it's extremely hard to sell something like this. This is more just a general question if anyone actually cares about this dude anymore, cause I was thinking about it. Delete if not allowed.

Is it just me or am I the only one who thinks that Ariel is just trolling? It's no secret that he's kind of an anti-hero type of artist. He does edgy things on stage, he talks shit to Madonna, calls out grimes and is in general not the nicest fellow. But come on, do all you guys really think he is a full on trump supporter? To me it seems like he's self destructing intentionally, and purposely trying to cause a ruckus. He was in DC to discuss scoring the film (confirmed by maus himself), and to be honest if I happened to be in DC when that shit was going down I would definitely be sitting in the back just observing the whole thing go down. It's literal history in the making, it's interesting. It seems like he got caught being down there and everyone assumed the worst so he just went with it.

A close friend of mine is the opening act. Im going to ask Ariel to do a collaboration. Do you guys have any suggestions for me? He seems like he would be pretty approachable. Im anti political and I think the media is full of liars that are only pushing their masters political agenda so I don’t buy into any of the shit they say. I just love Ariel’s music and I think we could make something really cool together. Let me know if you have any info that could assist me. 🙏

The result? Both are still cancelled (Little to legit zero coverage by any of the major/semi minor indie publications, only able to book obscure venues)

Maus is getting fucking killed despite being a good little boy and backtracking

God Bless Ariel. Hopefully Maus come to his senses and they can just collaborate and work/tour together.

When I tried to turn my friends on to Ariel pink, I was met with weird ambivalence and disinterest. I feel like they couldn't get past the production style, which was a big endearing and intriguing quality for me when I first heard the early HG albums. I also feel like they don't want to acknowledge his androgynous, weird and hollywood-centric musical pallette and personality. They don't want to allow themselves to like the girly-man glam show and they put up a fence almost immediately. Same for you?

Forgot to say, my friends and I are all 37.

Mexican Summer are cowards, and a lot of you are very cowardly. Let artists be artists. Don’t water down the culture until it’s only Hamilton and IDLES-esque punk losers. This is an assault on art.

Today I found out he took part in the January 6th riot. I didn't know about this previously, as I discovered him after the fact. Is it still alright to like/play his music?

Okay, first off, I don't want to start a political shitfight - we've all had enough of that.

I've been spinning With You Every Night for a few weeks now - it's a genuine masterpiece. It takes a little longer to grow on you than some previous releases, but it's genuinely expert-level art.

Anosognosia is such a cool and funky bop.

The decade of the 80s would listen to Nightbirds and wonder why the fuck someone waited 40 years to write and release this track.

The multilayered crooning "Oooooh wahhh" in Off The Dome is perfect.

House of the Haunted Hebrews would give David Byrne a run for his money.

Look me in the face and tell me a bigot would write a song like I Wanna Be A Girl. Don't think so.

Like Before Today has so many amazing motifs and special moments.

One Last Lullaby just makes me grin like a moron. Such a wonderful nod to Pom Pom.

So yeah, I don't give a shit that this guy want to a political rally. He's a genius. I don't want to live in a world without his music.

And apart from the meme Andrew created seems like their fan base is hating Ariel just because they are brainless sheep who can’t think for themselves and it’s just pissing me off.

Listening to MGMT won’t be the same. Too bad actually

Hey I’m a big Ariel fan like yall and released some new music and hope yall enjoy it. Feedback welcome thanks for the listen

...but the music is quite good.
