Cette vidéo est superbe

[pleasureavalanche]

Kurt and Ariel are both great songwriters who play completely different kinds of music. And they look kind of similar, except Kurt was more attractive(and had a better fashion sense). Sorry.

People that dont smoke always call people that do smoke weedheads. Actually nobody says weedheads...

[VRtimemachine]

weedheads always think other people are high.

[jhhje]

He is so high

[GetReal0rGoHome]

this interview has made me so much more of an ariel fan

[klacker47]

such an interesting interview, his music makes so much more sense to me now! Does anyone see the parrallel between him and MES of the fall? in terms of the stream of consciousness lyrics and his lack of musical ability, and yet his music is nothing but totally honest and sounds so much better for it.

[ziwzihizwiz]

he is extremely articulate. the way he is speaking i can tell he is trying hard to communicate with the interviewer who might not have the best grip on english. he just seems like a really nice guy

[TrippingPretty]

I don't understand how he records the songs a little bit at a time because he doesn't know how to play his instruments well, someone please explain?

[MrJadePinwheel]

@TrippingPretty instead of playing a song all the way through on an instrument you push record and do a little snippet on one instrument, and then another little snippet till eventually it's a whole song

[TrippingPretty]

@MrJadePinwheel Thanks for writing back bro, i record music and stuff, i know what he does but what i meant was i dont understand how he can create a whole song from snippets, he would still need to know how to play the snippets, as in, at least know how to play chords and scales?

[MrJadePinwheel]

@TrippingPretty i guess he's just being humble. it's obvious when you listen to the one man band recordings he knows what's he's doing on the instruments

[TrippingPretty]

@MrJadePinwheel Yeah exactly which is why i was confused on why he was saying he can't play guitar etc. Thanks bro.

[Aftermath604]

His music really seems to reflect his personality. He's such a bizarre character. BRILLIANT, but bizarre.

[Itasattc]

He's like a combination Dax Flame and Kurt Cobain

Ariel Pink: the insider's outsider. -_~

[ellemint]

I can so relate: middle of the night, home recording, noise transgression, neighbour complaint....Ariel, thank you for being (who you are).

[VitaMite]

okay this is a great amazing honest sincere interview.

go ariel! thanks for the info, gonna try it out myself

what kind of 8 track? have to figure out what you use

[shootthemoon86]

@VitaMite im guessing a TASCAM portastudio.

[hocobo]

He looks like he's on tweak.

[joise69]

[frankenberry100]

just started getting into him... he is a genius

[drdewdney]

this is actually one of the most forthright admissions of one's creative process i've ever heard. it's really articulate--even though his pauses sometimes seem boorish.

[IainEmslie]

Shit! I rated 2 stars by accident. Great interview I learned a lot from it.

[fundy76]

I'd be fidgeting, too if I had to sit on that army cot. No back support. The only option is to LIE DOWN on it and then it turns into hardbodies on spring break in a turkish prison kind of way..i would have opted for a lazy boy over a fruit spread

[christristano]

i think hes just sitting on a chair too small for him and hes probably talking to someone who doesnt speak english

[megamicromachines]

yeah, just cause someone acts differently than you doesn't mean their crazy or addicted to drugs. those are just ways of explaining away differences. reality isn't that tidy and black and white. show some respect.

[zahropit]

@megamicromachines word !

[fundy76]

this is a perfectly normal conversation/interview..Ariel is fidgeting because, like most people, interviews and cameras make him/them nervous.

Kurt Cobain?

Fuck off with that bullshit!

His name is Ariel Pink and he's a well respected recording artist.

Show some

[basural]

El mejor solo del mundo.

[buffaloaresweet]

he's a crystal meth addict. And no i'm not kidding. he really is.

[jacob7207]

So what. Let him do what he wants. He's not making you smoke meth is he?

[LoveYourFun]

what? who says?

[trove101]

the setting is very "psych ward"

[IamianaimaI]

I actually had the same thought about Kurt Cobain. Not the music or personality so much but his general affect I guess?

[604eli173]

@IamianaimaI It's cuz he looks like him.

[Misterioso]

@IamianaimaI Syd Barrett.

[adeebkasem]

@IamianaimaI That and the hair.

[TheTimeSavers]

Because you Do not Know Someone, Does Not Equate Them To A Crazy or InSane Person.

[summercures2]

There's something about "crazy" people which always keeps "normal" people fascinated.  =]

[grumpy6633]

lol thats not the part that fascinates me about him but i do agree with you sorta about that

[AkryllicLove]

Awesome. Ariel Fidgets a lot.

[grumpy6633]

yea hes on drugs i htink

[mexichrome]

Kick aWsssss:: See you soon

[porfavormeudeus]

Kurt Cobain

[derekkozinski]

[WARRIORPARK]

@porfavormeudeus plus prince

[DetroitPunkCity]

@porfavormeudeus kurt cobain sucks

[porfavormeudeus]

Sucks what?

[kenrben]

@DetroitPunkCity Whaaa!? You fucking suck ha.. Kurt is one of the rawest songwriters ever. Also, learn how to form a sentence.

[grumpy6633]
