There’s a pretty major issue with the census happening here in Canada, but it would probably be very boring to anybody unaffected by it. But this song is great. Those vocal effects!

Before Today might be rather tame in comparison to his earlier work, although it’s amazing in a different way. “Mistaken Wedding” is the B-side to “Round and Round” and it demonstrates that the truly demented Ariel Pink of yore is still around. Hopefully we’ll continue to see bizarre B-sides released. This video is also hilarious: Ariel superimposed on a Jewish wedding video. It’s perfect.

Oh yeah, I forgot to post this when it first came out. Ariel and his Haunted Graffiti bandmates put together a mix for FACT magazine, and it’s my favourite mix I’ve heard all year. Listen and download it here.

How To Dress Well. From Brooklyn.

Gayngs performing my #1 song of the year. Amazing. Can’t wait to see them play in Toronto this fall.
