i dont know, i just kind of looked up what rockism was (i was familiar with the idea but not neccessarily the term) and then just said a bunch of things i thought should be said (i have alot of built up hatred for rock critics, especially pitchfork ones. but thats a whole different story)

― davedestroybox, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:30 (nineteen years ago)

If you think Pitchfork is bad, try reading Stylus some time!

― Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 21:36 (nineteen years ago)

no thank you, i consider it a blessing that i have never heard of stylus. but i did just go over there and check out "Top Ten Musical Signifiers (Almost) Guaranteed To Make Me Fellate A Record Regardless Of Its Quality". what an arbitrary and weird list.

If You think Nick Southall is bad, try reading Dom Passantino!

― Oink Administrator, Tuesday, 20 March 2007 22:18 (nineteen years ago)

Ok, proof that I'm over 18... well, that's kinda hard to provide over the internet unless I give out my personal details. Will this suffice? Notice the first name on the card and my beautiful writing.

1) Thom Yorke - The eraser, Kristin Hersh - Hips and makers, Therapy - infernal love
2)Rockism is quite the opposite of pop music, in fact a criticism to popular music. Rockism is an ideology which supports musicians who make music for the music. Musicians who want to express their feelings, composers who compose authentic music.
Rockism is opposed to any kind of music is not genuine. That's why it's opposed to trip-hop for example, because it's hip-hop with any other kind of music, eg rock n' roll. That makes trip-hop not genuine, so against rockism beliefs.
Rockism mostly supports rock and metal music. That would explain and the term.

4)Deerhoof can give me the beat I need when I do other things. Helps me not to get bored when for example doing the dishes :) His music has that thing that gives you energy. It certainl keeps you awake.
Sufjan Stevens is more melodic. His voice is more melodic and "married" perfectly with the music.
I find them different so not easy to compare.
Do I really have to choose? :)
5)one

Thank you.

― dthemora, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 12:09 (nineteen years ago)

It's true: Deerhoof can give you the beat you need when you do other things. :) :) :)

― Confounded, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 14:39 (nineteen years ago)

@Confounded
Yeap! :) Happily music has many branches.
There are musics that are just upraise you.
Musics that can change the way you feel and even the way you think (who can doudt that whoever composer or musician can do that is a really great artist? :) ). I feel that way about radiohead. :)
Musics that are ruined with bad lyrics. Such as Therapy. I love Therapy's music but I don't find any meaning on their provocative lyrics. They don't shock me or anything, I just don't find any meaning.

As we mentioned Rockism above, I don't believe in genuine music but in genuine artists.
Approximately 6 months ago I discovered a band called MIG. It's a trip-hop group located in France. I liked their music so I searched for their album but I couldn't find them anywhere in Greece. After a lot of search I found the singer's mail. I told her that I want their albums but I don't own credit card to purchase their albums through internet. Well, she send me the albums from France without asking any money! If that's not genuine then what is it?

Excuse me for the irrelevant to that thread post but bands like these worth at least a mention, don't you think? :)

― dthemora, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 15:33 (nineteen years ago)

dthemora:

That is truly a heart-warming story. Thank you for sharing!

But if you are getting free CDs from artists so easily, what need do you have for a file-sharing service such as ours?

― Oink Administrator, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:35 (nineteen years ago)

Thank you :)
Just happened once. :)
I'm using torrents to download software and music alot. I can't afford to pay 20 euro/CD. As for the MIG, to tell you the truth, firstly I searched for torrents but I couldn't find any.
I hope my english make sense.. :)

― dthemora, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 17:55 (nineteen years ago)

Yes YES.

You are communicating very clearly. Thank you for requesting that your invite be given to someone less fortunate so that they may discover new exciting music as you have already.

If you have extra cds, please send them our way.

Efharistoomay!

― Oink Administrator, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:06 (nineteen years ago)

dthemora, you make oinking fun

― Oink Administrator, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:23 (nineteen years ago)

Hey Oink

I do not want hurry up your process but I am just wondering cuz i got a little curious but when you said I had to improve on my responses, did I get rejected. I am still waiting tho :). I just want to clarify that, thnx.

Thank You, Akash

― sportman3333333, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 18:34 (nineteen years ago)

You are nice! ;)

a) magrudergrind
b) Anthony
c) 17
d) Male
e) South Dakota, United States

1)

Millencolin - Pennybridge pioneers - (193kbps)

Leeway - Born to Expire - (195kbps)

Emperor - Anthems To The Welkin At Dusk [Remastered] - (320kbps)

2)

Rockism is a word that would describe the musical genre of rock and
roll. It consists of the basic rock guitar, guitar bass, and drums,
but it's more of an authentic popular pop music that fits the
construction of true rock and roll. It originated in Britain and it is
the orientation of criticizing popular music. Rockism uses technology
such as synthesizers and pro-tool styles and computer program systems.
This type of music places value toward the composer and the artist;
which they use their music as a strong form of self-expression.
Rockism is the complete opposite of manufactured "pop" music because
manufactured pop music isn't written for self-expression but more for
how well the music sells and how well it can be pushed as a "product".
Not only that, but the pop stars have little to no input in what is
happening to their music and that is not what rockism is about.
Rockism is to express all of the feelings you have into one great song
and you get to choose how your song sounds and how you put it out to
all of your fans. One way to put rockism greatly is that one time in
history, people and musicians just got the music right.

4)

Sufjan Stevens is a famous folk/electronica artist compared to
Deerhoof who plays harsh sounding music. Stevens' music is
extraordinary because he isn't like every type of music that is out
there. His music like his name is very creative; while Deerhoof also
has creative lyrics their music completely throws me off, I enjoy
Stevens' calm beautiful lyrics. His lyrics are not only out there but
very creative and I love listening to that. You can tell that he
enjoys doing what he's doing because he seems to put his heart and
soul into his music, and you can see that lyrically. I also enjoy the
fact that everything he writes about he creatively ties his family and
God into his lyrics and I am amazed by that. Deerhoof has tightly
composed songs and doesn't seem to loosen up and just have a fun
performance that Stevens does. He is such a genius that he has decided
to write a CD for each state and no one comes up with things like
this. He is brilliant with his music and is so creative that you can't
help but to love his music and what he comes up with. And that's why I
think Sufjan Stevens is one of the best folk artists out there.

5) I require 1 Oink invite

You misspelled resoure

― Lingbert, Wednesday, 21 March 2007 23:34 (nineteen years ago)

I think that is the first time we have seen that Cat Power photo. Where did you find it? Are you even positive it is indeed Cat Power?

I am certain it is. I created a website in class about musical influences and i used that picture as a link to her wikipedia page. I found this picture posted in a review section on a page called mercurialsound.com which was a music review and show notification site. the site has been closed or isn't working right now but the image is hosted through photobucket. I have chosen this because she looks angry and somewhat powerful. I can post a less favorite picture if you would like me to

:)

thanks for the consideration thus far

1) We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse
Fingerprince - The Residents
Ege Bamyasi - Can

2) A mystical process by which the next saviour of rock is chosen. Every three-and-a-half years it is performed by the Grand Cabal of Reviewers from an undisclosed location. About as underground as it comes, little is known of the members of this secretive cult, though some say Pitchfork has recently managed to weasel their way in. Rumours abound of chanted incantations and epic musical orgies, but little birdies tend to agree that it mostly involves sitting around, smoking fags, and BSing like a blind cat loaded on methamphetamine. For it hath been foretold that our lord The Velvet Underground might rise again. And lo, their reincarnated spirit shall spit flaming guitars upon the world, waves of blissful distortion expunging the land of our putrid clear-channel oppressors. And upon the release of their fourth LP, rapture shall take hold, a Stairway to Heaven rising tall. For it is written, and thus it shall be.

3) I'm oh-so-tempted to hunt down a picture symbolizing some sort of metaphorical union between PETA and the Civil Rights movement. But that sounds hard, and I'm lazy.

http://www.matadorrecords.com/images/cat_power/smoking.jpg

-cuz she makes for a convincing enough boy that I want to do her...and cuz I'm totally a pothead.

4) Is any artist truly "better?" I think about the objective versus the subjective a lot. I guess I do believe in objective markings of excellence, but as of now I have not been able to find a consistent and coherent platform to base that idea upon. So: I like Deerhoof. Their music is challenging. It's weird (A+ in my Book of Personal Taste). Their lead singer subverts the standard paradigm of what a "good singer" should sound like. And, hey, they still retain the ability to write catchy tunes. Complicating this is the fact that Sufjan is a badass, managing to expand the musical vocabulary of pop music with intelligence and beauty. He's also really cute, what with that buck-toothed charm. But Deerhoof have "Siriustar." And so they win. Arbitrary subjectivity at its best.

5) One is all my heart desires.

Wheeeeeee. That was kind of fun. Thanks for making this so easy to find. I have, like, non-existant social networking skills, so there was no chance of me finding someone willing to drop an invite upon my sorry ass.

Thanks for making this so easy to find.

We try.

But the question remains: is S&M really worth it?

Oh. I get it now. Hah. I should've read the whole thing... Course by the time I remembered to check back, everything was all taken care of anyway.

Can't believe you guys keep this going. I still fucking hate Xmas music.
