Oink Invites

1)Do Make Say Think-Goodbye Enemy Airship The Landlord is Dead
The Arcade Fire-Funeral
Explosions in the Sky-How Strange Innocence
2)Rockism is suspicious of the use of technology, from synthesizers to Pro Tools-style computer-based production systems. Rockism places value on the idea of the composer and performer as auteur; authentic music is composed as a sincere form of self-expression, and usually performed by those who composed it. This is as opposed to the notion of manufactured "pop" music, created in assembly line fashion by teams of hired record producers and technicians and performed by pop stars who have little input into the creative process, designed to appeal to a mass market and make profits rather than express authentic sentiments. Rockism is a primitivist ideology; a subtext of rockism is that, at one time in history, they "got music right", and that all subsequent innovations have compromised this purity. (This golden age is often placed sometime during the 1960s or 1970s.) Critics of rockism assert that this vaunted "golden age" of pure, authentic music is a myth, and that popular music never was entirely free of the interference of commercialism, marketing and commodification.

4)Neither of these artists are my style, but with a little research I found the correct answer, "In the band's early years, Matsuzaki [deerhoof] often performed live while wearing an orange bear suit." Contrast that with Stevens' frequent winged performences. So it comes down to orange bear suit versus wings. Get serious, orange bear suit kicks the crap out of wings, Deerhoof wins. And banjos suck. And what is up with the Christmas Songs? Sufjan, if that even is a real first name, puts out 2 records of crap per year (and still manages to put out one good one)I mean who does this guy think he is with all of these albums, Ryan Adams?

2) Rockism is the idea that music should be made buy the artists its performed by. Its against processed pop. Generally most suggest that the high point of popular music was the the late 60's early 70's.

It has been linked to racism. Though that idea is crap.

While i think that the purpose behind rockism is pure, it limits the music you listen to. While music made by an "artist" rather than manufactured "pop" music, sometimes its fun to listen to pop music. Its really just music thats easy to process.

4) Deerhoof, though i like both. Sufjan Stevens Generally does good stuff, though the Christmas album, i didn't like to much. The Christian ideas in his songs tend to put me off cause I'm atheist, but i try not to let that get to me. Deerhoof is goofy music that tends to put me in a good mood. Apple O', Milk Man, and Reveille are my favorite Deerhoof albums. Seven Swans and Illinoise are my favorite Sufjan Stevens Albums. Though i should add I think Sufjan Stevens is a better musician. But thats all that counts.

5) Just one I guess.

2) Rockism is an ideology of popular music criticism, originating in the British music press in the late 1970s or early 1980s. The fundamental tenet of rockism is that some forms of popular music, and some musical artists, are more authentic than others. More specifically, authentic popular music fits the rock and roll paradigm; it is made using the basic rock instrumentation of guitars, bass guitars and drums, and fits the structures of a rock and roll song.Examples of this kind of bands that follow this music are Black Sabbath,Iron Maiden,Judas Priest & many other bands of the British Wave of Heavy Metal Age such as Motorhead.

4) Well,to start things off I only know the work of Sufjan Stevens so my vote goes to him. Still, from what I found about Deerhoof and listened at www.pandora.com I can say it pleases me. Stevens routinely ditches folk's scrappy, stripped-down aesthetics, but consistently embraces its stories-of-the-people unanimity. His vocals could be easily (perhaps accurately) read as precious, but they're really more intimate than emo. My favourite Stevens' album is the epic Illinois, where he plays an ambitious musical map of the Unites States of America. Deerhoof has a mixed noise, sugary melodies, and an experimental spirit into sweetly challenging and utterly distinctive music. Their lyrics are heavily-accented by Satomi Matsuzaki's little-girl voice. The more song-like Deerhoof's music gets, the more obviously she becomes a barrier to new fans.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

I believe defhoof is better because its noise-pop and whimsical, playful, brutal music has a wide variaty of songs that everyone loves. They also have influenced alot of music. Defhook is a unique band that many have never heard but good sounding. Nothing can prepare you for the first time you hear one of their records. If you love music you will love Deerhoof. Everyone likes defhook and if you haven't heard of them listen to them once and you'll be hooked. His vocals are what everyone loves and they are overall just a good band.

2) rockism is the idea of making music through the musician their own creative freedom, rather than through pre-packaged music created by labels or merely for the pop of it. basically, music made for the music, and not to make a quick buck. there is argument that no music is purely made without any commercial thought processes behind it, and that all music has some form of produced aspect to it. but basically the term is for bands that don't go with synthesizers and pro tools to hype up their music, rather they perform on the instruments themselves as well as the lyrics, the band being a huge part of the creation of the music. the term is more for rock or metal bands, which is where the actual term came from. I believe the term also began to be in use in britain, where people began preferring this over pop music. think of rock bands in the 80s, and you'd get a good idea of what this whole movement is. pop music is the opposite of this.

4) Hmm, I like both. Deerhoof has this continual beat that makes you want to nod along to it. It actually reminds me of an art exhibit I attented a couple of years ago called "Cloud City" by FriendsWithYou, where they had this background music to set an installatio they considered a playgound. I am a sucker for the guitar though, and Sufjan Stevens is a lot like the music I listen to. It's much mellower, and his voice compliments the music beautifully. Ultimately, I would probably go with Sufjan Stevens on a day where I'm being told I can only pick from these two artists. Then again, I could definitely find myself listening to Deerhoof on days where I need to vacuum the house. I'm not sure... I guess I can't decide really. They both have their themes and sounds that make them the artists they are. I can really get into the fact that they both have their own sound, and it doesn't quite remind me of other artists today- unless we're going to mix bands together to get their sound.

2) Rockism to me is an outlook on music that covers a number of subjects. I would say rockism is definitely based on the principle that originality is not just nonconformity. Far too many artists try to follow a “formula” that’s been established by artists that have already achieved fame and/or success. These pretender bands may still achieve success, but in the eyes of a rock purist these artists are seen for what they really are – impersonators and frauds. A true follower of rockism also has their own taste in music and does not just follow the crowd. A rockist knows what they like, they stick to the genera that most interests them, and in most cases they criticize music that is outside their genera. A rockist appreciates bands that write their own songs, singers that can actually sing (not lip-sync), and members who can actually play their instruments (and not rely on ghost players). A rockist goes to the concerts, buys the cds, and actually also listens to the non-radio songs. Rockism is still alive and well, although blatant conformity and mainstreamism seems to drown out the rockist ideology.

4) I’d have to say that I prefer the music of Sufjan Stevens. Being from Michigan (where Sufjan is from) I’ve had the pleasure of seeing him play live and it was an amazing experience. His music is very versatile, spanning from electronic to folk music. I can honestly say I haven’t heard Deerhoof as much as Sufjan Stevens. I’m not all that strict when it comes to song structure, but Deerhoof’s music seems to me to be too experimental for my tastes. It seems to me that Sufjan’s studies in music make him the better artist, while most of the artists in Deerhoof have had little formal training. As far as Sufjan goes, I could do without the Christmas album, as well as the idea of the 50 state project (although I have to admit I love the Michigan and Illinois albums). From what I have heard from Deerhoof, it just seems too improvised and unpolished. Of the two, I definitely prefer Sufjan although I do plan on checking out the new album & EP by Deerhoof.

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Rockism is idolizing rock and barley standing rap. Loving the live concert but cant stand the music videos. Basically any means of valuing music in a way that your on one side of things. Having your opinions about music that makes it your own. The term came from rockist which is like being rock not listening to it. Usually anti-rockism is violently pro-pop. Its the critisism of music in a way of you listen to it and no one can take it away from you. Being music and opposing others.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Im going to have to say deerhoof because everyone can like this music. Her voice is a little different but more rockerish rather than Sufjan Stevens whos music is more softer and emoish. More guitar and different than everyone else because of her voice. Music seems more of a red hot chillie peppers with a different voice. It also has louder music and doesn't make you as depressed as much. Its almost as if you could use deerhoof as party music but you couldn't for Sufjan Stevens. Also has a good rythem instead of slow soft voice with a fade beat. Has a faster tempo, better rythem, and not as emotion rock.

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Rockism is the view that rock is music in its purist form. Everything else is built off the base of rock and roll, using it as a starting point on which to evolve. In a sense, the comparison of all other forms of music to Rock and Roll could be called rockism. It originated in the 60’s and 70’s through the British music media, by writers for magazines like ‘Rolling Stone’. Penning stories about the pioneers of rock, like the Stones and Beatles, these writers set the scene for generations to come. Through their writing, they created a kind of ‘Renaissance of Rock’, and as such the idea of rockism. All forms of music can now be compared to this ‘Renaissance’. Rockism exists in everyone who knows any thing about rock and roll, and helps define what our individual musical tastes are based on. Some may view it as closed mindedness and musical snobbism, but rockism in my view represents that little part in all of us which clings to where we came from.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Having not being exposed to a great deal of Deerhoof, I find it difficult to compare the two artists. But then again the question is who I like better, so my answer is Sufjan Stevens, and I can explain why that is. There is no one word to describe Sufjan Steven music. He can pump out a true indie rock track like “Man of Metropolis”, then contrast it with the bare acoustics and truly haunting vocals of a song like “Casimir Pulaski Day”. He is one of the few artists who could sing a track acapella, and have it sound just as good as if it had been accompanied by one of his faultless orchestral compositions. Who else could find an additive place for an accordion? Sufjan Stevens manages to cover all bases, and I would find I truly impossible for someone to not find one of his tracks which they enjoy. Illinois is one of my favourite albums of all time, and I can always count on a Sufjan tune to act as a soundtrack to my life. Bring on state number three.

5) One Please.

2) What is rockism? Rockism is a special way of criticism for pop music. Rockism mostly forgo the use of technology. So rockism express
the auteurs values. So it is the opposite of manafacture popular music . But rockism is purely a way of selfexpression thru the music. The rockism ideology relates to the most authentic and pure music which was created mostly in the 60s & 70s. So rockism describes pure music which hasnt the attend to be commercial or sth like that. But in the endeffect rockism means that the music must fit for you and that is what counts.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof?

They both dont fit my style. So its hard to make a decision. But what I read so long about these both, I would give deerhoof the point because they seem to be more experimental and thats what I like. In my opinion u cant tell so clear who is the better artist ( i dont even have heard a song of them ). So what i read about Sufjan Stevens bored me because he makes Indie Rock and thats not really my partiality. In searched a bit for Deerhoof after i got this Question from you and they sound interesting so I get an first impression. After this, I was sure that I never heard such a mixture of different styles combined with this asian voice. All this gives a interesting mix that I like.
I listened to Sufjan stevens too, but for me he doenst make anything special at all so I vote for Deerhoof.

2) What is rockism? It is the idea, from Britian, that suggest what rock music should be. Anything from the instruments, which include bass, guitar, and drums to how the singer acts. It's against videos because they take away from the feel of the real thing. It is also against pop music and the lip syncing that comes with it. Rockism is about the artist and their own writings. It's about the feeling you can get from that band and only that band. Rockism really came about with the 80's rock bands. However it's still in effect and greatly followed.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? I would have to say I think Sufjan Stevens is better. Deerhoof is a little too experimental for me. However her voice is really nice, and goes well with the music. Sufjan is just really laid back music and relaxing. Something that I just sit and listen and daze off to. I think one of the reasons I'm more into Sufjan is because he reminds me of one of my favorite bands Iron and Wine. Just easy listening with good lyrics, always wins me over.

3)http://stefanogiovannini.com/portfolios/catpowerpics/image-html/20-chan.html
4)In my opinion Deerhoof makes music that is more interesting to me. Deerhoof's odd little girl style vocals just give the music such a unique feel. Deerhoof is also known to create some very unique sounds with the guitar that I may hear other places, but they never seem to be executed so well. The drums on Deerhoof's albums also never cease to be nothing short of syncopated genius. Sufjan uses a lot of nice varied instrumentation but something about the music just doesn't grasp me, like I feel that it needs to in order for me to appreciate it more than Deerhoof. The voice to me is a big problem. I feel like I have heard it so many times before, although the context in which it is used is very different. They are both great but Deerhoof is to unique and too well constructed for me to ignore.

Rockism is everything the Nation of Islam isn't. Rockism is, unfortnately.

4) Deerhoof is better than Sufjan Stevens. First of all, numbers don't lie: Deerhoof has more boobs, 2-1. Secondively, in a fight, three nerds and karate usually beat one nerd. Also, Deerhoof has not promised to make fifty albums I don't care about, earning them a point. To the SS's credit, he has a song about Gacy to his name, but it's not enough to save him. I have never made it through an SS album without getting bored about 7 minutes in. I bet bananas in your armpits hurts more than feeling any sort of noise, let alone the Illinoise variety. Can you tell I'm running out of ideas for new sentences? Because I am. That's why Sufjan kneels at the altar of the Hoof.

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

Rockism, by the standard definition, is a belief or view that rock music is the standard and everything else is based around it. Usually situated around basic instruments, lead and rhythm guitars, bass guitar, and drums, it will usually flow in a standard rock and roll song structure (verse, chorus, bridge, chorus).

Rockism, to me though, is all about rocking out to the sounds of the beast that is rock! Throw in your favorite Iron Mainden album and you’ll know what I mean. It will lift you up when you’re down, and it will keep you flying high when you’re feeling excellent. It’s the feeling you get when you’re rockin’ you’re electric guitar (or playing GuitarHero). It’s my morning wake up call and my evening good-night. Rockism is what I will find on my quest for the answer to life on the top of a tall mountain instead of an old man with long grey hair. Rockism is the spice of life running through our veins.

4)Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

In my opinion, Sufjan Stevens is better then Deerhoof. For one, I find that Satomi Matsuzak sounds too high and “child-like” for my liking. Sufjan Stevens on the other hand is a signer/songwriter, which means he’s doing twice as much as some other music people do. Although some of his songs contain Christian messages, which I tend to stay away from, I still find it more of a listening pleasure then Deerhoof. Sufjan Stevens’s conceptual idea of 50 albums for 50 states is a great one. If completed, there would be many more Sufjan Stevens albums then Deerhoof albums, which means more songs to listen to. That’s a good thing because everyone knows more is better, especially when it comes to a music collection. If I had to put money down on it, I would throw down $100 on Sufjan Stevens for the win, or possibly just to place. Either way, it would be a better outcome then Deefhoofs.
