Moderately cool suburban kids pretending to be super hip urbanites the world over are all up in Ariel Pink‘s jock these days. They talk all about how he’s influential and a plethora shitty awesome shitty bands owe him some debt of gratitude.

But the real issue here, as my blog bud and admitted Pinko Kenny Bloggins has previously affirmed, is that there would be no Ariel Pink without R. Stevie Moore. That is the dude who should get the credit. In fact, if there’s ever credit due for anything regarding lo-fi weirdy pop, he probably deserves it.

So all you cats who are in love with ole Pinky need to step away from your red flannel, those “cutting edge” AnCo mixtapes from 2008 you use to score chicks with and the strawberry hookah — and get on the R. Stevie Moore train. So go get Phonography on vinyl and throw away the chillwave.

   “Weirdy”? How is that different from, say, “weird”?
