this guy just did a cover story all about me, Marissa. Marissa marchant used to be my name.
This guy didn't interview me and got his info from the net gossip. is this great journalism?

how did he know it was true?

and why did he believe that I was a singer songwriter only,???
Where did he gather his info?

why did he imply I was just another unsigned act as common as a pigeon?
if he hear me or know someone who heard me, why did he write an article about me?

It didn't promote my talent.

It was all about how people are publically ridiculing me..this was on the cover of the San Fransico Weekly..where this guy gathered gossip on the net...

If you are going to write about someone, you should write about their talents.

Not about price tags.

this is the story. it made the cover story on the front of the San Fransico Weekly...It is about me.

I find it offensive.
It is not about my talent, it is about how people don't like me.

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 00:40 (twenty years ago)

they didn't explain why the beatles album in the front has a 1000 dollar price tag and the girl has a .99 cent price tag,
and why he was insulting me at times in the article. ..and a woman he doesn't know.

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 00:41 (twenty years ago)

he's some pitchfork fucko

gear (gear), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:42 (twenty years ago)

He posits that some artists' music might be worth $1000. You, Marissa, tried to sell an album for $1000. Stop complaining.

naus (Robert T), Monday, 26 December 2005 00:52 (twenty years ago)

the point was, that I have talent.
And special talent, which he went on to say, I was just another singer songwriter as common as pigeon.

I am going sell my cd for 5000 if Chris feels the beatles are worth 1000.

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 00:55 (twenty years ago)

If chris thinks that the Beatles are worth a thousand..then that means I am worth 10.000 dollars, because their voices are nothing special and alot of their writing is nothing special...
once in a while the beatles are good.
they are overrated.

I think I still have the article about Wickedpedia. They are defaming people. and they are having alot of problems..
did you hear about Wickedpedia?
They defaming many people..and write false bios and allow people to defame people..
John Seiganthelar sr...etc..

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 01:02 (twenty years ago)

Read this amazing article about the lack of honesty thAT goes into that inferior encyclopedia..they use that Encyclopedia to defame people....

this guy, he has low standards in Journalism..that is why he like the beatles who's promoters had low standards.

"marissa marchant is gone of the internet because of you is a mild internet meme"... hilarious!

jmeister (jmeister), Monday, 26 December 2005 01:13 (twenty years ago)

Marchant went off the net to get a higher level of people to hear her.

Marchant wanted to get rid of low life.\

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 01:14 (twenty years ago)

wickedpedia..that is funny...

I made up that name. I don't think these people have any wit. they don't the gift to make people laugh.

marissa marchant............., Monday, 26 December 2005 01:16 (twenty years ago)

I am laughing with my friends over here about how funny WICKEDPEDIA IS.
THAT IS MUCH MORE FUNNY THEN THEIR LAME SENSE OF HUMOR.

i am also laughing at Chris's lame journalism.

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 01:17 (twenty years ago)

Mariesa has a sense of humour!

Myonga Von Bontee (Myonga Von Bontee), Monday, 26 December 2005 01:33 (twenty years ago)

That was a boring article. I think an article dedicated entirely to Marchant would be way better than one that simply uses her as a prop for a discussion of music pricing.

can anybody explain the conor pic at the top of the thread

I mean I know, it's a picture of conor, but I'm trying to tie it in with the post beneath it and I'm not getting anywhere

Mr Straight Toxic (ghostface), Monday, 26 December 2005 02:40 (twenty years ago)

I think this is the explanation:

http://images.google.com/images?q=chris+dahlen&hl=en&btnG=Search+Images

Someone must have Googled "Chris Dahlen" in image search and that was one of the pictures that came up.

Rockist_Scientist (RSLaRue), Monday, 26 December 2005 02:52 (twenty years ago)

I imagine Mari(e|s)a did some inept searching and found a Dahlen article next to the picture and drew some bad conclusions. If this is even her posting here, we can never be sure.

I like how she claims the article is all about her. That's several times more egocentric than any of the spurned lovers -- I mean, musical collaborators -- that she rants about.

mike h. (mike h.), Monday, 26 December 2005 02:54 (twenty years ago)

Couple things:

- I never posted to your corkboard, Marissa, and I don't have your phone number.

- I used the anecdote about the $1,000 album to explore the idea of album pricing, for a short piece that was aimed to SF Weekly's "Department of WTF?!?" - I had no idea it was going to be a cover story. My editor positioned it as a story timed to the announcement that iTunes would be ending their flat 99 cent price for downloads.

- I didn't interview Marissa because ... well, read this thread and the last one. But also, it's not a story "about Marissa Marchant," it uses a crazy story about an artist formerly named Marissa Marchant to explore another idea.

- It was not intended to insult Marissa. It's generally favorable, as her dad said, and all publicity is good publicity. I would imagine anyone who read the article would be extremely curious to hear her music, if any of it were still available online.

- I don't know why the SF Weekly people chose "a man" for their $1,000 album and "a woman" for the 99 cent album. I don't think it was meant to be a sexist gesture, but I can't speak for them.

- I don't look like Conor Oberst.

Stephen C (ihope), Monday, 26 December 2005 03:12 (twenty years ago)

My father has since changed his mind. I spoke with him today, and doesn't believe this is healthy and now sees the light.
I think you are covering things up...

There is such a thing as Gang Bang ..cyber-stalking..which the media people who run Google and other things like wikipedia..decided if they think you are a Kook..someone who steps out of line and doesn't believe in their propaganda machine..they send many of their workers after you on the net to defame you.

Read that article clearly...the article about wikipedia...is exactly what is going on on the net...
censorship...
If they feel that someone is not following them...and suddenly making their own prices for Cds and the person has talent, they will sick their Cyber-Stalkers on you.

I don't think you could tell the truth. I have many people named Chris..who signed into my corkboard a month ago.
..or a few weeks ago...

You wouldn't be able to interview me...because you don't want to find out the truth about people...

do you know how many people deserve more then the Beatles????

Alot that are unsigned..or signed on their own lables that you have never heard of...or signed on some very obscure indie label..you have never heard of.

I have two Beatle records and I thought their music was not that interesting.

..and their singing not that passionate or beautiful..they aren't bad...

they aren't worth what they are getting.

the media has a become a brainwashing machine.

all publicity is not good.

and see now you say that my dad is right and that he is a man and knows best...

My father makes mistakes...

marchant.........., Monday, 26 December 2005 03:22 (twenty years ago)

why do men find it difficult to admit that hate women?
It is in your face...
obvious that they meant to be sexist.

they don't sign very gifted women.

hardly ever.

and hardly any.

Why can't men admit that are part of the KKK mentality of sexist bigots who oppress insult and abuse???

marchant.........., Monday, 26 December 2005 03:24 (twenty years ago)

the men at the san fransico weekly are probably mostly gay..and feel that they need to kind their white sheets and KKK attitudes and say, it wasn't meant to be sexist...putting the beatles at a 1000 dollars and a woman next to them at .99 cents...

You don't want people to know you are part of the Klan?

and you probably all ready to get married to each other at SF because men are making more money then women, and it might be better for all your men to marry each other for financial security.

since money is men's god...the focus is on price...

money....

and more men are gay then women....

MONEY>...
it isn't sex...they are attracted money and power...and that is why so many more men are gay then women.

they like money and it is soooo sexy to them.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 26 December 2005 03:53 (twenty years ago)

This is very sad, and sick.
I am very against gay marriages. for one, men are rejecting women and not wanting to marry more and more women. They want live in partners with no responsibilities..but more and more men are becoming gay.

and alot more men are gay then women.

Men are obsessed with money and power.

women have less.
Men are turning away from marrying women.
using them for sex and leaving them with kids.

More and more men see the way out....Marrying men...
Men are so obsessed with money and power and success...and they becoming increasing depraved...and wicked...
and obsessed with their own bodies and their own sex...

they are pushing for gay marriages to leave more and more women..out of everything.
It is already an insult to say women are the best in music or science..but it is the ultimate insult to say that women are the best marriage partner.

all I see in the media is constant insults of women.

It is a tremendous insult to say that a woman is not worth marrying...not worth hiring, not worth paying equal pay....and not as sexy either.

Alot of men who are gay secretly hate women.

They are not minorities...Gays hate minorities...they make women into minorities.

Alot of gay women hate men...alot of gay men hate women!!!!!!!!!!!

I am not gay.

Amateur(ist) (Amateur(ist)), Monday, 26 December 2005 03:59 (twenty years ago)

I meant to say it is the ultimate insult for men to say women aren't as good to marry as men...

Men have insulted women on every level in this country. Hilary Clinton addressed a Trafficing problem...people are selling women as slaves here in the USA while they are talking about the importance of Gays marrying...

They gave attention to gay men... not gay women...and passed the laws..so men can have it all...

No responsibilities...
Just having an option to marry men who make more money then women.

Men have insulted women on every level..saying they are not as sexy...not as smart...not as talented...not as worthy....

and now they are not worth marrying...

ARen't men like God????

Isn't God the Father????


I don't think so.

marchant.........., Monday, 26 December 2005 04:10 (twenty years ago)

I have known and tried to be friends with many gays. Some of which were some of the most unstable, meanspirited..and people filled with hatred have ever met...or totally apathetic.

I mean gay men and women.

I noticed that most of them are apathetic about the opposite sex.

Gay men are not fighting for women's rights...they don't think much of women....

they think women are great composers, great writers...great musicians..or painters...and they don't think they are good in bed.

..or great lovers...

I knew some lesbians..openly telling me how much she hates men...

how she glorifies women's bodies...
this is what men are secretly telling each other...

In secret..they talk about hating women....

but keep a secret...

gay men act very phony with women...

I once had to call the police on a gay man..

I don't agree that gays are stable people.

I don't hate them..but I had a landlord who was also gay and very abusive...
I have known many gays who treat women like crap...

and lesbians who are filled with hatred.
Gays are not the nicest people that i have met.

I have met many ...and known many.

I have trouble with men, but to insult men on every level...I can't do that.

I know men are very talented at times..loving...worthy and sexy and worth marrying...but very few...

Gays are often filled with secret hatred.

that is why I am opposed to this...

Bigotry....they are biased...they think their own sex is wonderful..

to the extreme...

they are NOT born that way....

They are often perverted...obscene...

It is not beautiful...gay marriage is NOT beautiful...
I can see loving the same sex....

but to marry...and have sex with the same sex....

why not marry for friendship and NO sex...

???
I can't understand why men would want to sleep with men...
It is depraved.

marchant....., Monday, 26 December 2005 04:41 (twenty years ago)

I never met the guy...

But I assume if Dahlen looked like Conor Oberst, he would have a different career path than "music writer"

Whiney G. Weingarten (whineyg), Monday, 26 December 2005 05:08 (twenty years ago)

It's all about cocks, Marissa.

edward o (edwardo), Monday, 26 December 2005 05:12 (twenty years ago)

I know men....
it is not about sex as much as men's need for security.
Men are money hungry, money driven..success driven...

It isn't about sex....
It is about glorifying ones body, bigotry...and
self glorification...
and idolizing ones sex...
especially men ....

It is about men's respect for other men...and disrespect for women..that is why MORE Men are gay then women.

Gay men think it is much more financially benefical to be with men.

Men are soo into money ..they find other men sexy because of money and status...
when men feel that women have low status...

they are not turned on....

Men are status conscience.
Men are money driven.

Men see other men as sexier, because status and money is sexy...

Men are mostly driven by money and status...NOT by penises...

they get turned on by whoever has money, power and status. Men are increasely becoming users...players...and leaving women with children...
More men are becoming gay....not because of sex, but because of status.

marchant......, Monday, 26 December 2005 05:38 (twenty years ago)

It is a myth that gay men are very kind....

I also had a boss who was gay...very gay and he suggested that I dance on a table...

and then fired me from my job because I had a concussion ...I was in a car accident..and I had an injury....and he said that I was braindamaged and couldn't come to work...

this faggot was so mean, cruel...he was a horrible man..

It is a myth that gay men are nice.

I knew a nice gay guy in NYC...but he was apathetic..and phony...
not mean...but apathetic.

Gay men have been some of the most cruel people I have ever met...
I have met more then one gay man who was cruel....

and these men are receiving attention...
people are giving them pity.

I also called the police on a gay guy...he was calling me with extremely obscene messages...

He was gay...

This is THE best Marissa thread. Hands down. At first, she even made some reasonable points (the madonna record being worth less than the Beatles record was dumb, I thought). After that she went total nuts.

Am I crazy or did she say something about gay KKK members? What is going on?!

fkjfkj, Monday, 26 December 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

Long after Marissa is gone off the net, her memory will live on in my pants.

edward o (edwardo), Monday, 26 December 2005 09:27 (twenty years ago)

Paying attention to Marissa at this point is like giving liquor to a schizopherenic homeless wino to see how he reacts. She clearly has psychological problems and it would be healthier just to ban her.

-- Mickey (mi...), December 26th, 2005.

there are alot men walking around, secretly wearing white sheets.

they are part of the obvious KKK of woman haters.

It has always been that way. Men feel that women should never have power, but in Norway it is better.

the men in San Fransico they are not enlightened.
they have alot of money...
In new york city alot of gays reside there also...and there is also alot of money there as well..

Gays have a tendancy towards materialism and hedonism.
That is why more men are gay then women. They see the money and status as highly attractive..and they are very hot for men...

Alot of wealthy men live in San Fransico..and they love each other.

they think they are smarter, wisers...more knownledgable..have more status..and they think they are more sexy...then women.

they hide their white sheets....

they try to....but I have seen beneathe the sheets.
David Bowie realized there was value in women...that they were beautiful....
He realized that he was never gay.

so if gays were born that way, why did Bowie say that his gay life was a mistake???
Bowie is a millionaire, so he really does not need the income...

so he married a beauty..and hopefully a nice, smart girl...
