Why can’t I be Ariel Pink?
Ok, I don’t really wish I was Ariel Pink, but I do really like his music. I saw Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti at the Echo once and it totally ruled. Beach House opened for them, before any of you knew who Beach House was. Before I knew who Beach House was. Anyway, there is one free track you can get at off the Scared Famous LP, by what is now called Ariel Pink Band. This one’s called ‘Why Can’t I Be Me?’ Doesn’t it sound like he used a wet banjo? I know, I know, not really what it is. Whatever:
(MP3) Ariel Pink - Why Can’t I Be Me? [audio http://one.fantasticweapon.com-a.googlepages.com/AriePinkBand-WhyCantIBeMe.mp3]
And listen to ‘Baby Comes Around’ here. While you’re at it, check out the killer list of names in the current line-up (none that I’ve ever heard of but what’s it matter when you’ve got a name like Jimmy Daycare?) Oh, don’t forget to stop being a leech and buy this shit from human ear music.
In the meantime, check out the video for ‘Creepshow’:
