PIAPTK Records Presses New Ariel Pink/R. Stevie Moore Single On Mirror Shards, Psychedelic Drum Heads and Recycled Paper

Well then; good thing we checked our E-mail just now. Had we not, we may have missed out on “SteviePink Javascript,” a truly bizarre lathe-cut 7” from Ariel Pink and his old buddy R. Stevie Moore. Here’s the deal, via PIAPTK Records, which may still have a few of its 88 copies available:

An amazing 6 minute space droner collaboration from Ariel Pink & R. Stevie Moore. Only 88 copies were made, and they lathe cut onto 7” MIRRORS. Comes in silkscreened holographic drum covering, in several different colors. Almost every aspect of this record was made from recycled or upcycled materials. The mirrored acrylic was collected over several years from the by-the-pound remnant bin of a Tacoma plastic supplier. It came from the end pieces and overcut scraps of various projects and was otherwise destined for the dump. The holographic covers were hand-cut with a T-square and boxcutter (hence the jaggedness of some) from the end remnants of rolls of psychedelic drum-covering. Even the paper for the insert was picked up at a garage sale.

Have a listen to the pair’s very strange trip below, and check out other ‘unique’ vinyl releases from Casiotone For the Painfully Alone, Wooden Wand and more at PIAPTK’s online store

DOWNLOAD THIS NOW: Ariel Pink’s Haunted Graffiti, Live @ WFMU

Photo by Elizabeth Weinberg

Since Ariel Pink just played two divisive shows in New York and Osama Bin Laden was captured and killed about a month ago, we thought we’d bring those two seemingly unrelated events together with a special WFMU performance from 2008. The half-hour set from Pink’s Haunted Graffiti band happens to feature the closest he gets to political commentary: the sprawling “Witchhunt Suite For WWIII,” which makes some not-so-subtle references to the hunt for Bin Laden in its intro. Download/stream it all after the jump, and be sure to check out a track-by-track breakdown of Pink’s Before Today album here…

VIDEO: Watch 20 of Our Favorite PS22 Chorus Covers, Including Ariel Pink, The Cure, Tom Waits, Björk and Black Sabbath

In case Pitchfork and Twitter didn’t get to you first, self-titled thought we’d share the PS22 Chorus’ rather priceless rendition of “Round and Round.” That’d be the Ariel Pink song that was the soundtrack to everyone’s Wet Hot American Summer last year. And while we’re at it, how about we sift 19 more s/t-approved cover songs from their incredibly daunting YouTube channel? (As of today, it includes more than 460 clips.)

Oh, by the way, these kids are performing at the Oscars this year. Yeah. Beats the hell out of the one time we sang “The Sound of Silence” in second grade.
