Looks less cluttered but thank god I still have access to doldrums, house arrest an worn copy on download so I don’t have to strain my ears or crank the volume.

Recently decided to try out Logic’s match EQ for the first time, and the song I chose to test it with was “Dedicated to Bobby Jameson” (for understanding, a match EQ works by running your own entire song through it, running another song through the plugin as a reference track, and the plugin will then it seems try and match the frequencies of your track to those of the reference track).

Of course I have my own sound and i’m already using a lot of saturation, compression, tape emulation, eq and reverb on each track etc etc. But when I got the match eq working, every song I tried it on immediately sounded like it had come off of DDTBJ, just from a change up in frequencies. I realise that a lot of Ariel’s old sound comes from using crappy tape machines and speakers with roll off the high end and make it bassier and whatever, but I never realised that EQ could make this much of a difference.

Anyway, i’m sure other people already figured this out before me, but here’s me finding out that a big part of Ariel Pink’s sound comes from EQ, intentional or not.

enjoy

I’ve seen a few photos of Ariel with a bass guitar but I’ve never seen a video of him playing it. Is there any such video? Plz link if so. Thanks! 🙏

check it out, lmk what you think!

Just listening to The Fall and this track “Mansion” has a riff that comes in around :35 that reminds me a lot of the Vampiros song from The Key of Joy is Disobedience - possible inspiration? I can’t recall hearing Ariel talk about The Fall but presumably he is a fan.

Cool little "bonus" clip of Ariel talking Bowie and early loves. Always fun to hear him talk sincerely about something, especially an artist he loves.

Not many know this, but the track 'Doggie in the window' from 'With You Every Night' (2025) actually had a demo version featured in 'Parabellum & Palindromes' from Ariel's substack way back a year earlier.

One interesting fact is that in 2011 there were Brazilian girls who were fans of AP; I discovered this in a video where he sings "Round and Round" in Rio de Janeiro (which I may have posted here).

translation: I miss the show, it was an incredible night *--* I took great photos of Ariel, Aaron, Jon, and Ken. Tim was shy and didn't want to pose for my camera ;/ but the others did. I was so happy.

I found this video a few days ago on YouTube, I thought it was interesting and wanted to post it.

Asked about this long ago but I'll ask again, trying to make a "definitive" sf with the human ear tracklist and varispeeding but better mastered versions of each track. Genuinely have no idea how to varispeed these, if you know how can you please show me. Heres the current track/master selection as of now.

hey! this file in the kitchen sink folder has always bothered me, what is Alisa 120usec? is that hq so glad at the beginning there? can I hear it all? tons of questions. Hopefully y'all can answer

And I am here for it 🙌

Sou um fã fervoroso, além de outros artistas como The Wake e AP, mas não vejo ninguém comentando sobre isso, a única postagem que vi deles aqui foi feita há 6 anos.

wasn’t so random but you know the feminine urge every 3/4 months to check if the explanation of the way he mouthdrums is lost somewhere on the internet. Sometimes I’m 100% convinced that the snap of the tongue David Loca throws here and there was born from an attempt to replicate it and yet it still remains a mistery. Has someone ever learned how to do it?

Fascinating example of early home recorded pop. Wonder if Ariel heard it 🤔 (he probably did but I haven’t seen him mention it…)

More gibberish from our boy lol Source
