slept on this track for months, saw Ariel this weekend and this track changed my life. Simply an amazing live performance. Ariel gave it 120%

[@Jayisnotbae]

Exact same for me too, saw in Manchester Aug 2018 (i think). Unreal pop music this guy creates

[@jbball647]

shit pops off live, shout backs n all

[@drewbocop]

This album is so fucking good

[@flyinbrian9414]

SAW THIS LIVE... Ariel was AMAZING, had the crowd moving on this one!

[@pazomotti]

My favorite song right now.

[@jrbarbosa8342]

This song has like 7 different parts and I love them all

[@angeloronzoni]

round and round also has so many lovely parts!!

[@carlospires7411]

This álbum is so good!!!

[@omarqure]

Love how they borrowed the doors solo, thats the way Music should be re-used. Beautiful and full of energy!

[@omarqure]

Also, that line "me, myself and I, trying not to die" just love it, weird and all who can relate to that kind of exitentialism can appreciate it and smile, i think .......and hope

[@ihateheelflips]

which solo did they borrow? light my fire?

[@RoninAvenger]

Not really the doors solely lol. If you're familiar with old underground 60s garage rock then you know electric organs were used constantly in music like this. The Doors definitely not originate it, and the Beatles were British thieves who copied music from small garage bands in various towns and cities across the US.

[@jaywood5831]

​@@RoninAvenger i think he's talking about the guitar solo

[@myRadiotron]

I hear it.

[@armandoBeWell]

Best song from the album

[@peter6914]

The hook is absolutely killer

[@bryanlee5522]

I hate that I got into ariel pink just now after his peak and after being cancelled. 10 years ago all i did was listen to frank zappa and old music. ariel woudl have been my fav new artist back then. wtf man

[@niqwalshensemble9164]

I feel ypur pain

[@metalheavy1923]

That's funny man, I got into him in fall of '22. All I could think this is the closest to Frank Zappa alive I can get. I agree with you 100%

[@mikemales8661]

Agreed. The harmonies are straight Jefferson Airplane or The Cyrkle. I love reinterpretations of the '60s.

[@livingdeadgaybutimalive9973]

Idk if you will respond but please list some other albums like this

[@weirdomusicforever8342]

A thoroughly delightful addition to AP's body of work...PLUS, with collabs with Charles, Dam Funk, et al, how can this NOT be pretty amazing?

[@FUTURECRYSTALS]

[@ancestralmemories]

Each song on this album has a comment saying "This is the best song on this album". Speaks greatly to the talent Ariel has.

[@riseandshine5706]

He will prevail thru his cancellation. There’s no stopping this kind of authentic talent.

[@christopherdaly3299]

cant get enough of him, then there is tracks like this that burn into my mind, everyone I play this to loves it, cant wait till he come back to Australia i be first to get tickets .hope to see him next time in Sydney.

[@Nerkin610]

I hear a lot of influences in this. The solo section at 1:49 and the outro sounds just like The Doors, could as well come from Light My Fire. I also hear a David Bowie influence and a Frank Zappa influence. And as Chris said, parts of it sounds inspired by The Beach Boys, especially melodically. However, this is the best track of the album, absolutely brilliant.

[@joelrandles8274]

I hear Stranglers - No More Heroes, with that organ chord progression. But great album!

[@zelarotkram]

Just shut up

[@billyshakespeare488]

do ya'll hear the song Time Dandelion that ariel recorded years ago? yup, he's still digging up his own old music and repurposing it.

[@nathanmarsh9714]

Let's not forget Bobby Jameson!

[@otherjay11]

Ween. That about covers it all

[@Sheaiskl]

Resign ariel pink or give him back his music

[@jimguittard]

man oh man! nice and jangly!

[@brerogers1824]

I am playing this NON STOP and it didnt suck i got to meet him at the Earl in Atlanta 🤣🤣🤣🍩

[@discotecc]

Love the little post punk esque diddy in between the chorus and the part that sounds like the middle of a 7 minute doors song

[@labuhardilla1]

Listen to this drunk it's the best gracias Ariel

[@Gilbertify1]

So many influences.

[@BrownWlf]

Ariel Pink 👍

[@xeniachetrar3084]

This is so good

[@Jamelon]

I love how "SUUUNSHIINE' stuff sounds so so much!

[@OldExit]

the verse sounds/reminds me of his song 'Spires in the Snow' off the Underground album

[@Los_Marisa]

Ariel Pink sound like Ariel Pink, no The Doors, just Ariel Pink

[@TheJoelscanlon]

best song of album. bottom line.

[@davequ]

Solo in middle is almost a direct lift of the solo in the middle of Doors' "Light my Fire" (which was a bit of a "lift" from Coltrane's "My Favorite Things") But so what ... everybody is influenced by everyone else. As a regular reader of Bobby's blog for years, I would never venture a guess what he might think of this song, though I'm guessing the phrase "Tinseltown Tranny" might get a rise out of him, depending on his mood. I hope he's in a good place.

[@ChitlinsLaundry]

Sunset Boulevard vibes

[@GoatDust]

that haunted graffiti sound

[@ludochem]

i didnt like his first "produced," lp but he managed since the last 3 lp to find the right balance between lo fi and listenable. a true genius.

[@Raphie009]

@@ludochem I tried very...very hard to get into his Haunted Graffiti collection...but a lot of the songs had no structure or cohesion. I bumped all of House Arrest and only liked one song... ...however, having him go back to that sound with studio equipment is working out.

[@ludochem]

@@Raphie009 ok so we agree. maybe i am weird, i fell in love instantly to his stuff back in the late 2000s and very few people around me got it. this LP is his best so far (pom pom was very good as well). i was so disapointed of his first official LP as for me he lost what makes him special.

[@Raphie009]

@@ludochem Yeah, everything since he signed to 4AD has been an artistically progressive step in the right direction. Amazing what happens when he's taken out of the basement. I also didn't like Pom Pom but I loved Before Today and Mature Themes.

[@carlossotelo2652]

Explain haunted graffiti to me

3:15 As Doors as is gets

Absolutely

[@sergez6172]

kinda great album to fuck to until like "do yourself a favou"r plays then you bought have to stop and adore it and you loose your hard-on to the line "pop goes the weasel" and find your self shedding a tear instead of shooting a load

[@marvinm.messier1120]

[@Exoskeletal6]

It sounds like Haunted Graffiti.

[@basehead617]

Yes we know, no band before or since The Doors had an organ in a song. They invented the fucking organ actually.

[@420dopethrone]

what's become of Jameson?

[@kevanelias919]

Don Koovey dead

[@permanentvacation2406]

reincarnated

[@KevinMacCash]

got the hell out of L.A.. found his peace in a trailer park with his mom and bro

[@jones2914]

i dont think the man ever really found peace unfortunately.

[@davequ]

Died May 2015 ... likely his Aortic aneurysm popped, though we'll never really know. His step brother Quentin might know more. But you shouldn't smoke with an aneurysm, and Bobby smoked a lot of cigarettes every day. He was also seriously stressed about money and losing his home after his mother died and he only had his own SSI to live on, which wasn't much.

[@animefinn]

mmm yes the chorus sounds like the beach boys, verses are the ink spots, bridge is PURE captain beefheart, coda influenced by durutti column, and with a speck of beat happening in the middle eight. don't you love my ability to name random music artists?

[@mychemicaldisco5015]

[@dusix66]

lol and don't forget Dave Greenfield that good old friend of Hugh Cornwell's

[@Hornwiesel]

A bit of Rufus Wainwright exactly at 0:02

[@LonelyMonarchist1998]

Actually the whole song is like Ariel Pink

[@MasDouc]

Also that organ is straight The Doors

[@NachoKai]

♥

[@netzahipalafox9379]

It sound like The Door with The Mother of Invention

I listen to a podcast with 3 democratic socialists cracking horrible jokes about race and various other topics.. you can handle it

[@GreasyMcNasty]

@@marinewelsh9927 I like to believe that philosophy. But you have to admit. Ariel is fucking wack in the brain. As per on post on the Brake Check interview with him : "This is what it looks like when a time travelling medieval peasant discovers meth and Facebook at the same time." Nothing he says makes any goddamn sense.

I feel like aside from Another Weekend and maybe another song, this album is disappointing. Too pastiche-y
