Ariel Pink somehow found time to record and push an album in between taking pot shots at every human on Earth over the past year.
His new disc, pom pom, is now available to stream. You can do so via Spotify below:
Pink has been so controversial in interviews lately that his crap-talking has actually surpassed his music in the public sphere. Given this, let's run down the horrible things he's said since summer ended.
On Madonna and her new record, which Pink was apparently asked to help with: "They need something edgy. They need songwriting. She can't just have her Avicii, her producers or whatever, come up with a new techno jam for her to gyrate to and pretend that she's 20 years old. They actually need songs. I'm partly responsible for that return-to-values thing."
On The Eurythmics (apparently unprovoked): "I find [Annie Lennox's] whole comfort level with the camera to be very off-putting. It was something of a novel thing back then, so she had some sort of charisma that translated beyond the normal performance. It's just made for the camera. And [the Eurythmics'] Dave Stewart makes me want to f---ing commit suicide."
On Grimes, who called Pink out after the Madonna comments: "What an amazing promotional campaign this is. I was only repeating what Interscope told me about why the needed me. They're not my opinions. It's clickbait journalism. The media lies to us all the time, and we always believe the media. Then Grimes - who's completely stupid and retarded to believe any of it - jumps in and has her two cents. I'm not a misogynist. Maybe she's angry that I'm the male version of her, who was at 4AD before her."
Naturally, Pink issued a non-apology afterwards. The onslaught agains innocent artists will likely not cease anytime soon.
I love grimes. I love Madge. I love women. I love the guardian. I love pitchfork. I love the fans. I love the haters. I love my life. #UK
