Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti "Shaven"

[reden0024]

with the legendary geneva jacuzzi!!!!!

[maclennan73]

When you tube started out I spent alot of time slagging off all the dross I hated in the music world........I finally came to realise that this sad bitter behaviour helped me in no way what so ever. If you dislike what you're hearing then look elsewhere.

[comeonboeltsy]

@maclennan73 Amen.

[Briteliner]

It's easier to hate than it is to create. I say, instead of calling everything that is different to your musical tastes "hipster bullshit" or slagging it off at a moments notice, make some fucking music,. Try and sway us to your side, because, we're OBVIOUSLY wrong.

[SOADafi]

i love Ariel Pink, he is one of my heroes, but, I wish he did more songs like these, I mean, the lo-fi psychadellic pop is awesome, but this, I can listen to in an infinite loop for hours, its reminds me of a lazy summer day but its not too hot, perfect :D

[feldortheimpailer]

ariel pink owns! its like trimming your balls with spiders!!!

[pexex90]

Breasties would have made my time worth it

[SiddallB]

hipster bullshit

[taoinmusic]

@SiddallB if u dont like it leave you ignorant fuck

[TheTreeLobotomist]

lol geneva jacuzzi :P

[09prizefighter09]

where are his videos being released in his website or just here in the tube...i doubt it its being played in an y music channel if so where!! this guy has great imagination

[fenwyfrnk]

shaggs

[evilmeese]

Is this what you hipsters listen to? 

[Archetype77]

@evilmeese Nope, just people with at least average musical literacy who can hear and hold multiple elements of a song together in their head! :)

[StevieStorm91]

I'm not gay though, I like a woman with pazzazz and dark hair. =)

[StevieStorm91]

Yes, Ariel Pink is hipster bullshit, garbage! But, I love it. I can't get enough of it. I'm obsessed. I've already seen him twice. I put my arms around him. I purchased Before Today. He signed it. I live in the Doldums.

[ellemint]

Re: the hipster thing. To me the difference between hipster and not is listening to something in the middle of the night all alone and loving it ...vs. listening to something in front of a bunch of people and acting like you love it/or don't love it for the benefit of what you look like in front of others.

[ellemint]

R. Stevie still maintaINS an ariel pink website.

[ellemint]

Ariel channels Gary Newman....go arielgarynewmanpink -_~

[fatkidinspandex]

There's nothing wrong with this. I just don't want to listen to it.

[sevenfl0w]

we ate tacos and french fries, came back home for a nightcap

[fabs080405]

what the holy^^

[egdeltur666]

Holy shit! That's Geneva isn't it? Thats her, that's her!!! Geneva fucking Jacuzzi!

Man, I need to go back and rewatch all these older APHG videos to see who else pops up...

Man... those two in the same video? Are they trying to give me a heart attack?

[Jimmy77777]

@egdeltur666 Seen watch?v=_pypklJ3rcM yet?

[fatherjustice26]

Ariel Pink covers the best songs.

[hucklebeck]

lovin' the synths!



[COLOUREDMONSTERS]

any idea on the synth he used for this track ?

[hatfactory]

@COLOUREDMONSTERS casio cz-101

[DinoCadet]

i love this song<3

[patdevelours]

zappaesque!

[fazeunclegersh]

"UGH!" the sound that a hungover rock star makes when he goes to sleep in L.A and wakes up suddenly as a grubby sexy caveman in primordial africa

[Subtropicx]

This came from outer space <3

[Whatismyusername100]

I'm not very a happy because the subliminal messages in this song made me spontaneously shit my pants.

[SeanSeanSeanCanada]

what album is this off of? i like this song alot, but then i listened to some of ariel pinks other stuff, and it was all to 80's glitz synthpop. are there any other grouping of songs that are similar to this from his discography?

[laloali2]

@SeanSeanSeanCanada underground maybe? im not sure, but im pretty sure.

[Brambleiah]

I love this song so much forever I don't even know why I'm alive really.

[rushkaishell]

it's a pity that song is so short. it sounds like it's suddenly breaks. Ariel is amazing.

[gigi46]

It's the honestest music that I have heard since longtime.

All of his songs are handsome.

Fuck! I love Ariel Pink!♥

[thedano]

this is hipster bullshit

[Zyphonee]

@thedano First, let me tell you that I myself hate the hypocrisy that is being a hipster; however, you shouldn't judge a group because of a fanbase, but it's actual musical value.

[thedano]

@Zyphonee .. which is none?

[Zyphonee]

@thedano Well if you think it has absolutely no musical value then THERE you have an excuse for not listening to them. I myself just came by after seeing it had a good score at Pitchfork, but I don't think it's really that good.

[jahblaz]

@Zyphonee yeah... and scores on 'pitchfork' are a real indicator of good music.. i mean come on man..

[silverblue73]

psychedelia anyone? i'm in love.

[SiFi18]

new favorite haunted graffiti song

[batchemahal]

was für hurensöhne. you are the biggest motherfuckers i've seen

[lilysound]

i love this song!

[dreamforfreedom]

Actually in a internet interview Ariel claimed he doesn't associate himself in any scene...not hipster not nothing...(you can hear this in his music) hipster kids like his shit..doesnt mean he likes them!!!

[donohuee]

Hipster is just like hippie, beatnik, punk. They're all contemporary subcultures that practice non-conformity.

Just because someone disproves of hipsterdom doesn't make them some grumpy, old, conservative. I fucking hate hipsters, you'll associate with anything trendy, treating music like it's fashion.

This music is garbage, Ariel Pink is a pretentious fuck that purposefully acts 'weird' and 'eccentric' so he can appeal to your sort.

[Brambleiah]

Such animosity! Open yourself up a bit more. Quit using labels. Take some acid. Chill out.

[trove101]

i agree 100% atombombdotcom

[atombombdotcom]

I really want to open up some sort of support group for individuals who can't stop playing his music. It's really become a weird addiction at this point, and there is so much of it! If you too, are borderline a non-functioning member of society thanks to this music... you are not alone. In fact, I'd doubt you were in the minority.

[HellaMoist1337]

reminds me of Animal Crossing

[aknipe106]

i dont get it? gay ,ratey comment watever u want , say watever u wnat,  but ill still think the same

[trove101]

anti-hipsters are the new hipsters

[diosteen]

@trove101 

and who are the new anti-hipsters?

[joffercup]

sounds like shaggs lyrics

[friedeaglemindify]

I was thinking the same thing!

[bgd1029]

im in love

[Polynema]

So you've meet him?, I actually got his... shoe, well it wasn't exactly me, and it wasn't exacly a shoe... it looks more like, a high heel, but it's not .

[TheArtless]

met him yesterday

[goldenpeacock]

perfect.

[Brambleiah]

dino! I know your music. Your photos are rad too.. The ones with the paint. Excellent comment! Yes! I met Ariel finally here in Portland, Oregon and he is SUPER REAL. The future is the eternal now.

[trove101]

i love you dino!!!

[ApotheosisWolf]

I can't fucking stand when people call ANYTHING "hipster bullshit". Especially since this is nowhere near it.

[DaVIBER89]

@ApotheosisWolf

They are hipsters. But its great music.

[deeform]

@ApotheosisWolf I have nothing against hipsters but this is most definitely 100% some hipster shit. You're probably a hipster yourself to be so vehemently against people saying shit is so "hipster". Just sayin'

[zayneinsane]

@deeform Some people love music and listen to music they consider innovative. And besides, this music is far from being hip. Even if it was, it wouldn't matter. If someone listened to Frank Zappa in the 60's, would you call them a hipster? Probably

[Archetype77]

@deeform That's not true, if tons of people went to lil wayne's videos and started calling it hipster bullshit, you'd get annoyed too. Just cause it's wrong and ridiculous

[victimedelamode1]

@ApotheosisWolf

A comment on a Marcel Duchamp film left here on youtube described the video as "hipster bullshit"...seriously...

[redcommando1]

@ApotheosisWolf I agree! it isn't hipster, its just bullshit!

[SAIGONDISCO]

@ApotheosisWolf Stop being ironic

[wizagab]

@ApotheosisWolf Actually this is the epitome of hipster music. Oh wait, now it's not anymore got too many views.

[colorgong]

This is hipster bullshit. He might be a genius, but only because he was the first one to totally rip off R Stevie Moore and shit it out for the "new dumb generation"

[JackNance22]

R Stevie Moore and Ariel Pink are friends and have mutual respect for one another, colorgong. I'd like to see you "rip off" R Stevie Moore and come with a song half as good as any of Ariel's. And writing off an entire generation as being "dumb" is the talk of a mindless prick. You sound like one miserable fuck.

[jergenx]

in a song they did together, r stevie says "...you're better than I am!" ariel writes some amazing melodies, I don't understand how he does it.

[colorgong]

Look who doesn't have a life... JackNance22. Did you actually comment on every single one of my comments? (How amusing.) Why don't you get off your youtube-account-ariel-pink-wat­ch-tower and get a fucking life. I don't even mind Ariel Pink. I think he has some great melodies. I just think there's a lot of people who came before him who did this shit better... and never got the attention Pink is getting by idol-worshiping ignorant idiots like yourself, JackAss22.

[rtdrummer]

what happened to "for love of music?" And if you're wondering who said that. I did.

[vogellied]

I have to agree with color going, though not the way it was said. This is some rather interesting stuff but the path traveled, while unique, is well worn over the last 40 years.

[LoveYourFun]

@colorgong

well who are the other people? i'll check 'em out.

[Jimmy77777]

@colorgong I guess R Stevie must be one of those idol-worshipping idiots too, since he used to maintain a fan site for Ariel at w w w . a ngelfire.com / la3 / zanna/

[evucis09xx]

WTF???????

[bananagammazoid]

What is going on in the video? Has society collapsed or been destroyed? What  do they catch in that giant net? What do they eat...do they have any modern comforts to speak of !?!

Are they going to be okay !?!?!?!

[Leveretis]

Yes they are.

[triplavaoddball]

I love this song!

[Jordamo]

yeah, the shaggs via ariel pink

[reneeriddle]

i heart this vid! and song! it's soooo beautiful

[KandidaAlbicans]

wow. breathtaking.

[fundy76]

This is the emperor without clothes.

IMO, this material isn't brilliant. It's filler.

His brilliant work, I think, is stuff like west coast calamitie, helen, nether, song songs.

good songwriter.

this is mushroom music.

which is good if your chowin shrooms

[Tlk2435asdko43]

i understand where you might start thinking that but i really disagree. his strongest album is doldrums no contest. other albums seem to either wax or wane. to me the point is he will always know how to write a great pop songs in youth or late in career. really he brought it back to low-fi with talent and not a fake music scene or a stupid catchy marketing ploy tag(nu rave)

[viciousk1d]

fucking brilliant sound

[kenslee]

"...my pal foot foot..."

[qwertynsmith]

krkraft - accidentally thumbsed you down -_- fuck my life. Ariel is amazing.

[LzZlz]

band name = bubonic plague

[buttdread]

whats that girls name? or the band she's in?

[buttdread]

band name = geneva jacuzzi

[Philihp]

whaaat this song rules

[davypage]

`Best video ever!

[davypage]

Best video ever!

[hotjack99]

Almost going for a Shaggs nod...this is a stunning song.

[thisisbabylon]

i agree..funny that its also the most cohesive song i've heard of his.

[lounwhat]

Good work AP

[ktkraft]

Heartbreaking to think this and AP's other work didn't get any real exposure for so many years. Says alot about the current cultural climate.. This is just beautiful, continualy blown away by EVERY successive realease!! Genius. Thanks for posting.

[squidlyj]

love it !

[GIAACA]

"Fragilely i get aroused like a dirty giraffe" Pure MAGICk!!!

[zrebeKDemitri]

tsrif!
