Talk:Ariel Pink/Archive 1

Is this for real?
Is it just me, or does this whole page read like fiction? It seems more like someone trying to be funny than a real biography. IE: "After a brief shopping mall tour in 2000...", "Pink was brought-up on charges of incinerating a homeless man", "It was also during this time that Pink was arrested in a public restroom, along with Leonardo DiCaprio and Kevin Fiderline for indecent exposure", "He would not leave his mansion nor would he take off a Freddy Kreuger costume he had. I'm the real Freddy! was supposedly all he could repeat."SteubenGlass (talk) 10:28, 26 January 2008 (UTC) Never mind, i reverted it. All the ludicrous statements were added at one time by the same person, appartently it was vandalism.SteubenGlass (talk) 10:39, 26 January 2008 (UTC)

Notability
I think the questionable notability tag need not be applied to this article. Ariel Pink has released on the Animal Collective-run, independent, fairly notable Paw Tracks record label. He has been featured in the New York Times, the Washington Post , as well as several student newspapers such as the Michigan Daily and independent music press such as Pitchfork Media.

Outsider music category
Uhh, really? I'd say Ariel Pink is pretty far from outsider music. hotdiggitydogs (talk) 06:02, 8 April 2009 (UTC)
 * Uhh, I think someone who sits in a room for years recording hundreds of songs onto a 4-track, playing multiple instruments and making beats with his mouth and armpits would classify as an Outsider musician... Furthermore, most of his commercial releases are just reissues of this home-recorded material, before which he was selling them as CDRs with the help of R. Stevie Moore.

hauntology
I think the hauntology link should be re-included see also http://delicious.com/roreo/hauntology+music [garden-as-cemetery] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 149.31.174.196 (talk) 21:55, 11 May 2009 (UTC)

Chillwave?
The page states in the first sentence that Ariel Pink is sometimes associated with the chillwave scene. The cited article doesn't even mention chillwave. I don't think chillwave should be mentioned here, or, at the very least, a more relevant reference should be added. Wikiisawesome (talk) 12:57, 6 October 2010 (UTC)

Plaster cast
Ariel Pink has been cast by Cynthia Plaster Caster. I'd like to include it but I can't find a spot.-- Auric    talk  15:28, 7 January 2014 (UTC)

Relationship Status
I removed the section in the biography about his relationship status. The line was too conversational, and the link to the reference 404'ed
 * ″He currently lives alone and is open to applications. ″

Genre sources
The infobox is getting cluttered with citations which simply categorize Pink one way or another and don't seem particularly informational otherwise, so I'm relocating them here:


 * Psychedelic pop
 * lo-fi
 * avant-garde pop
 * experimental
 * hypnagogic pop

Hello! I do not know how to do this but I was updating this page because it mentions nothing of his controversies which are widely known otherwise just not on this page. I added the many controversies listing them off and they were taken down for being... controversial??

How am I supposed to make this stick? thank you — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.129.104.98 (talk) 03:33, 17 October 2019 (UTC)
