    I found out recently that the bass was Ariel's first instrument - no wonder the basslines in all his songs have been incredible, even as far back as the songs from the Doldrums.

      60s underground Garage Rock has lots of awesome stuff. This is a good example of the surf rock inspired stuff, but there were also bands that had a lot heavier sound and were considered the beginning of punk rock and metal. But that stuff remianed underground until like '68. This song is more a '66 vibe.

      Ariel Pink is 35 years old. I don't think that makes him a "millenial". He's older than that generation. But that's probably why he is actually good, because millenials are the reason that popular music has been dog shit for 10 years running.

      @anthonybarondess1065 Před 10 lety +2

      subsamadhi You're right subsamdhi, Ariel Pink is pre-Millennial by about 4 years (35 vs. 10 - 31). And I don't like recent musica either (especially Rap, Gansta Rap, Hip Hop. I can't believe that music actually lasted for 20 years!????). Ariel Pink is a little like Gin Blossoms maybe!??

    • @subsamadhi
      @subsamadhi Před 10 lety +3

      He draws from all kinds of sources. I hear some Beach Boys, some 90's music, he even throws in some 60's and 70's pastel pop. I love Sonic Youth 90s noise rock, and I see a lot of that influence in his stuff too. If you hear Gin Blossoms who are good, you are probably right also.
