After years of recording in relative seclusion in the hills of Los Angeles, Ariel Pink (the first non-Animal Collective member on the Paw Tracks roster) made his official Paw Tracks debut with The Doldrums. Recording at home with a guitar, bass, keyboard, and 8-track (the drum sounds were created with his mouth).
Ariel Pink blends Lite FM and warped lo-fi pop into something by turns beautiful and confusing. Some may find his personal yet detached approach highly addictive, while others may be instantly turned off by the obvious lo-fi production and the vocal drumtracks.
In the summer of 2003, Pink passed a CD-R on to New York based band Animal Collective after being introduced by mutual friend Jimi Hey (of All Night Radio and Beachwood Sparks) at one of their shows. Unbeknownst to Pink, Animal Collective had recently started their own record label, Paw Tracks, and several weeks later they contacted him expressing an interest in releasing his music. Pink became the first musician on the label aside from the members of Animal Collective. The next year, the label reissued The Doldrums, an album which had been originally recorded in 1999. Since then, Paw Tracks (now co-owned by Carpark Records) has released two other reissues of Pink's previous recordings, Worn Copy and House Arrest.
Pink has gradually caught the attention of media sources around the United States as well as internationally. As most of his albums are self-made, many of them have never been heard by fans. Almost all of Pink's albums which have been commercially released come from his yet-unfinished "Haunted Graffiti" series and are thus the best known.
Pink's tours have generally been met with much negativity, primarily because his music was never intended to be performed live for commercial audiences. As he explained to LA Weekly:
“People boo me everywhere...They don't even hide their contempt. I'm used to it now...Hey, I'm giving audiences the real thing...For better or worse, I'm out there, and those are the circumstances. People don't like it when it seems like you don't know what's happening, or I'm getting bummed out with certain aspects and I can't hide it. I think people feel that pain and just think it's bad.”
Initially playing shows alone with pre-recorded music, Pink has since employed the efforts of keyboardist Kenny Gilmore, bassist Tim Koh (White Magic), drummer Jimi Hey, and guitarist Cole M. Greif-Neill (Ethnik Klensr) as Haunted Graffiti. However, even with a backing band unfamiliar audiences are generally hostile towards the unrehearsed nature of the live compositions.
In July, the band embarked on Pink's "Thanks Mom, I'm Dead" tour.
One genre that may interestingly define Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti is one known as Hauntology.

Ariel Pink's Haunted Graffiti Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Stood five hundred years
Painted black by love
Bathed in widows' tears
She had a maid
The maid remained to tend her
She tied and drowned her
But she loves him (yeah yeah)
She loves him (yeah yeah)
And how she loves that estate
Estate, estate...
She wouldn't concede out of vanity that
Her servant would ever
Find her love
Her reflection would cry
Down in the lake where she threw the
Corpse for all time
Oh, madame, sad is this estate
Love blew the roof of your estate
Madame, mad mad love
Madame, cheer up!
Madame Morse Estate
Fell one summer's day
Rolling down to the water
Where the madams made pants
To her mother, she loves her
She loves her
Oh, and how she loves her (yeah yeah)
And how she loves that estate
She wouldn't concede out of vanity that
Her servant would ever
Find her love
Her reflection would cry
Down in the lake where she threw the
Corpse for all time
Oh, madame, sad is this estate
Love blew the roof of your estate
Madame, mad mad love
Madame, mad mad love
Madame, or love that's mad?
Cheer up!
The first verse of the song talks about Madame Morse Estate which has been standing for 500 years and painted black with love, indicating that it has a dark history. The use of the phrase "bathed in widows' tears" adds to the sense of tragedy and sadness that surrounds the estate. The second verse tells the story of a maid who worked for Madame Morse Estate and was caught in bed with her gardener. Madame Morse, in a fit of rage, ties and drowns the maid. But despite this, Madame Morse still loves the estate and remains attached to it.
The chorus emphasizes Madame Morse's love for the estate despite the tragedy that has taken place there. The repetition of the phrase "she loves him" reinforces Madame Morse's attachment to the estate and could also be interpreted as her love for the gardener. The third verse describes how Madame Morse wouldn't admit that the maid, her servant, might find love too. Her vanity here shows, and her decision to drown her maid is a testament to her cruelty. The verse ends with the image of Madame seeing her reflection in the lake and the reminder that she threw the corpse there.
The final chorus repeats the same lines as the previous ones but adds a new line – "Madame or love that's mad?" which can be interpreted as a question posed to Madame Morse about her state of mind and motivations.

found this video just by looking in the search bar just looking around and then this video pop-ups, at first looking at it wonder what it was, after clicking it a few sec later screen freezes (after trying to reload the video it would freeze it but only on this night video only as if YouTube was having a hard time trying to load it in) then after a min or 2 it loads in being able to look at the comments, finding nothing but blackness, the whole video and not what the thumbnail showed, no description, comments are in different languages, and looking through the video timeline I can see the thumbnail parts it show but, click to that part still all blackness so not sure as well what this video even is about.
also this channel/he has only 2 videos (Night) and (DAY) so day is the same thing as this video is but this time when I click it, it doesn't freeze my screen and loads it as a normal video for some reason not sure why this video only and not the other one but may never know for sure.
looking at the comments not sure what some of them are even say but, with the help of google translate, the comments are not even related to the video or even talking, all they talk about is there life and just don't even talk about the video at all as said, (one talks about how they found out a doctor to treat there HIV) while another (talks about there stream) etc. and looking at the about page there's nothing it's just blank (there's nothing) so both night and DAY videos are a mystery.
so no-one has the answer as to what this video is for or what it even is supposed to be or what?
but someone might find out what it really is.

Deep crap
@slickyda-vinci1631
me and some people translated some of the subtitles, i would have talked to you sooner had i seen your comment, but thanks to this video, it hasn't loaded in until now.
@gregboehm5827
This loaded immediatly for but yeah its nothing blsck screen that goes on for 5hrs and some odd minutes i believe just glanced at length. I accidentally clicked on this video cause im on my cell phone but i bet the long wait and pr freezing is due to how long video is. Not sure what the guy who replied to you meany by deep crap and recieved 7 likes umm ok I have a guess but thats about it. My guess to whats with this video is that it plays frequencies that either only certain people can hear or nobody can hear at all that are an attempt to manipulate persons tthoughts or behavior. An example is there is a frequency tone that people only under the age of 27 can hear and I playec it and I couldnt hear nothing but I was 35 at the time so i shouldnt so i got my son age 15 to come in the room and i turned volume up hit play and he was like wtf stop that I did and said what did you hear and he described loud annoying sound and he had no clue what i was doing. So anyways you should be aware of things like this soon as I noticed nothing was playing which was almost 10 seconds I hit stop so fast just because you or I have no clue what we are making ourselves susceptible to and just fyi maybe or maybe your not aware there are hidden things in music songs that you wont know unless you play the song backwards its called back masking your subconscious is aware of it some people are more influenced by this than others but more importantly by you singing the song out loud then you could be making something manifest or speaking it into existence so to speak if that is if something were placed into that song such as a spell or what have you. These are just a few things one should be aware of amongst many others. I learned awhile back of a secret society i wont say their name but they the ones in it would not read the news paper and absolutely wouldnt watch t.v. because they knew of certain things placed in paper and on t.v. that you would never know was there that influenced people in many different ways, sometimes harmless and sometimes sinister but nothing to your benefit. They were smart enough to realize with what little they knew tjen only imagine what they dont know and so they guarded what they read or watched very carefully but this day and age now its no different for what you listen to is the point. Take care hope this helps and sparks an interest to learn more look into it yourself.
