I am 2 degrees away from Annie Clark. I worked with a guy installing art at galleries/museums in Dallas who was friends with her while they worked at the big Half Price Book flagship store during high school.
They were good friends, from what he said. They hung out after work and stuff. Now, I'm not gay, but the dude is probably one of the most attractive guys I've ever seen. Looks a lot like Adam Levine. From the conversations I've had with him, before he got married, he never had a problem getting a date and essentially had his pick of girls.
The problem was that he really wanted to date Annie. He said that he had it really bad for her. Of course, she wasn't interested, and it destroyed his confidence for a long time that she didn't want to date him.
Anyway, after she left HPB, they fell out of touch. It wasn't until she hit it big as St. Vincent that he realized that she wasn't into men, and that the reason she didn't want to date him back then had nothing to do with him.
I have absolutely no problem believing that about Ariel. Apparently when he was writing his early material, he was living for free in a mission and smoking weed/doing drugs all the time. There's been more than a few people that have complained about getting harassed as concerts by him. FJM seems like the kind of person Ariel would hate.
Despite this, he's still my favorite musician. I got my picture with him after a concert a couple years ago. He asked if I was high (I was), and he seemed proud that I smoked a joint in the venue right before he came on stage.
I went to a Boris concert and Wata was like five feet away from me so
I went to school with sd Laika
Super chill guy, really nice. Shy, but in that way that still makes you popular with the "in" kids.
My buddy smoked a joint with Patrick Carney from The Black Keys after a concert like 8 years ago
Philip Glass composed my parents' wedding song
If only you had asked him if he was ever going to release another album after That's Harakiri
>Jandek, my favorite artist
I am immediately uninterested in anything else you have to say
When in the fucking goddamn world did Will ever play with Jandek
And I knew someone that went to high school with Will who said good things about the guy, Will went to VCU too iirc which is where I am now
Glad my litmus test works
I don't know much about it, there's a video, but I don't think it's been released as an album at all
