deej, with all due respect as a friend and a peer, I find your posts here to be the most offenisve as I *know* you're not a created character...you're a real live person.
Read the thread instead of coming in here and assuming EVEREYONE is beating this "person" down...and more imporatantly, read her, uh, "responses", and what she's, uh, "responding" too.
I think Marissa Marchant is a character, not a person.
I've said time and time again I am a fan of this character.
She has yet to acknowledge that (because that's part of the character), and you've yet ackowledged those in here who have praised and/or supported her. What's worse?
If I'm wrong about her being a character, that's okay...she's not reading and responding to _anything_ that has been said...just rant after rant after rant.
That's what I'm enjoying.
She doesn't even take the praise...she just goes from delivering her one dimensional speech to saying "suck my dick" and back to the one dimensional speech.
If she actually cared about what she was saying, she'd quickly see that ILM is FILLED with obscure music threads. She might even enjoy them. Who knows, maybe she could become like the female Geir or something, always chiming in with one or two points thread after thread.
The character is brilliant. The people taking it seriously are part of the act. One can't exist w/o the other...
But deej, remind us again to stay out of the 50 Cent threads with our "50 Cent sucks" responses...because your response here equals that (albeit, with good intentions...just without thorough actions to support those intentions).
Hopefully you know I'm not trying to pick a fight with you, but there is another side you seem to refuse to look at in this.
OR - She is a crazy person, and we are picking on a crazy person. But she said she wasn't crazy. She said all the people on the internet are crazy!
It's a character. Enjoy it. Be part of it or leave it alone.

But still, she isn't responding to what's being said by people here. She's using this as a platform to say the same thing she's famous for saying (i.e. the current state of the music and entertainment industry sucks, and her music is made BY A VIRTUOSO, therefore is worth $1000 per CD).
The whole thing is a joke to me. I like the joke. Some people on this thread are asses (ILM has asses - shockah), and some weren't. She hasn't ackowledged much of either. Just ranting. Unprompted.
Now I'm making the same points over an over.
― PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 02:38 (eighteen years ago) link
If she actually cared about what she was saying (ie prasing those who like obscure music), she'd quickly see that ILM is FILLED with obscure music threads.
The bottom line: she's either a character, or incredibly negative and obstanate person (possibly crazy, yes). All while some (many) ILM'rs are assholes.
I'm at least trying to make sense of it rather than taking sides while ignoring everything on the table.

"No passion, no romance..no beauty.we are living in such a bland time in history."
yeah, tell that to the fucking serf 600 years ago whose life consisted of starving to death while he tried to farm unfertile land and dodge the plauge.
plenty of people live passionate, romantic lives now. most of them have either money or talent. you and i have neither. at least im not bitching about it you fucking slag. go choke down a bottle of unisom.

i mean, my god, how STUPID are you? speaking of myself, do you know how many hours i spend reading obscure books or how much disposable income i spend on music or literature? or just how many people are just like me in this respect? sometimes i think finding some new work to appreciate is one of the only things to truly live for. and what makes me different from you? I REALIZE IM NOT ALONE! im one in a fucking million snobs, give or take a thousand! you, my delusional cow, are the epitome of everything i ever hear in conversation i despise.
ohh the government/corporation is keeping us down! god how boring. BORING BORING BORING. its always been that way, and always will be. but dont say people are apathetic about art, because we aren't. we are apathetic about the bland gasps and pathetic postures you call music.

Hi Marissa.I hope things are okay with you.Why don't you do a gig somewhere? If you did, I'd come and so would a lot of other people. I can't speak for them, but I'd pay a small cover charge to see you play and promise to be respectful. I still occasionally listen to your music. Try not to care so much about what other people think about you; it tends to be counterproductive.Anyway, best of luck. Let us know when you're playing live in NYC.

I am a Marissa fan. She is entertaining on many levels.
The conflicting logic alone is the ubiquitous feature, and people take the bait she lays out. They are part of the act that I am entertained by.
What's the debate? Some boo-hoo about the nature of this thread, yet don't seem to understand the nature of this thread. That is what I've been addressing.

wow! watch out, yr approaching Billy Corgan-esque levels of self-importance, here...
it's a nice idea, hopefully a contagious one. alas, this is not be, mainly due to the fact that people LOVELOVELOVE 'rehash'. if it's a challenge to understand or makes people think 'hard', it get the nay-no, mah daimie.
i'm not frail! i'm just undernourished...
this thread is begining to take over the DMB place as most-awesome-est thread i've been privy to witness!

Lindsey is Marissa.

Robin is also Marissa.
Which part of hoax is failing to come across?

John and I are at least two people on this thread who already have stated that we want to desperately support you.
Please help us.
― PappaWheelie (PappaWheelie), Wednesday, 3 August 2005 15:56 (eighteen years ago) link
It seems also true that you want to believe no one will support you, at least no one on the net.
My two bits: Don't let worrying about what people think interfere with the far more important and pleasurable work of making music.
Slandered and maligned? You have lots of good company e.g. John Lennon for starters.
However, I must admit this has been an entertaining thread. Maybe this is your true calling.
