in case you missed it, here's the link.
if you don't know who ariel is, he's a gifted pop artist -- beloved by all, until those in the "music journalism" grift found out he supported trump. so they destroyed him.
The record company, called Mexican Summer, dropped Ariel - out of that typical cowardly response to cancel culture. These are the people who turn on the victims to save their own hide. So, when will people start asking about "Mexican Summer?" is that an appropriate name for a record company not in Mexico? Do you sense some cultural appropriation going on?
Anyway, here's the link to the interview.
beneath that is a link to one of ariel's greatest songs (named by Pitchfork as best song of the year roughly 10 years ago). The song will stick in your head like gorilla glue.

Is there a cookie that instantly takes you back to someone special? Spill the crumbs—I want to know what sweet treats live in your memory.
I’ll go first. My parents? Total cookie lovers. . We always had a stash of Pinwheels (those chocolate-covered marshmallow beauties), old-school iced oatmeal cookies, and those ridiculously fun frosted animal cookies that made snack time feel like a party. It was such a treat for us kids to have cookies.
And when the cookie jar ran dry? No problem. I’d play mad kitchen scientist—mixing margarine (yes, the fake butter), sugar, and a little flour until I had a makeshift cookie dough. Desperate times, delicious measures.
Your turn. What cookie takes you there?
