Ariel Pink

"I was been raised to believe I was an artist. I believed what my parents said and fulfilled it, like a prophecy."

"All we have is the past, but for people of the future, there's not even going to be a history there. The history of recorded music has turned into a flat fucking screen of an iTunes playlist. I'm preserving something that's going extinct! That's all rock'n'roll has been since day one. It's all necrophilia."
