ANTIDISESTABLISHMENTARIANISM IS TOO FUCKING LONG

― Px2, Thursday, 22 March 2007 22:51 (nineteen years ago)

a) jelliebean,
b) Rachel,
c) 23,
d) female,
e) Kentucky, US,

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week, We Were Dead Before the Ship Even Sank - Modest Mouse, Silent Shout - The Knife, 9- Damien Rice,

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum), Rockism is like any other ism. It's the idea that certain genres of rock, or certain artists or bands are supierior to others. Rockism differs from the other ism though, in that there's an actual basis for the assertations of superiority. Certain musicians and genres are superior because they make real music, music that is expressive, creative and free of the confines of pop music. Rockism condemns musicians that don't create their own music and labells them as unauthentic. Rockism, really, is the advancement of true, genuine, good music. That's all I have to say, though I have two more sentences to fill up. I could quote something from the wikipedia entry on rockism like everyone else has, but I won't.,

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum), Uhhhh. That's not easy to decide. Sufjan is folk with a twist. His music is simple, yet is emotinal and evocative. Sufjan also wins points for being cute and having completely orginal titles for his songs. Deerhoof is more upbeat. Definatley creative, different, but for me way less emotional. While I definatly think Deerhoof are talented and awesome, music speaks to me on an emotional level, so I guess I'd pick Sufjan's more mellow more emotive songs.,

5) How many invites do you require?, Just 1. Pretty pretty please

Own a piece of indie rock history with this masterpiece. Handmade by the band. Limited to 500 copies. Deerhoof IS indie rock right now. Don't be surprised if this records sells for Propellerean quantities in a few years. e-mail me for shipping prices -Ross

Question from corniefuxx0r
would you say this is investment grade vinyl? (please feel free to add your answer to the listing)

Response from therealdonahue
Wow. I don't know. The sleeve has some scratches. It's not in mint condition.

dthemora, you make oinking fun

This then means that I make people laugh at me. I have to say that there's nothing special about me.

I feel much shame.

No bad feelings :)

Bye..

― Lingbert, Friday, 23 March 2007 06:37 (nineteen years ago)

Don't worry, dthemora, they can't be laughing too hard at their half-baked attempts.

I just took 50 mg of DXM, and my hands and feet are itching vapid masticating tiger stripe baby.

a) requested username : Arkane
b) first name : Jason
c) age : 17
d) gender : Male
e) geographic location : New Mexico, USA

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week
Third Eye Blind - Third Eye Blind, System of a Down - Mezmerize, Incubus- Light Grenades

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Rockism is an ideology that emphasizes authenticity as a component of popular music. Rockism is wary of the use of technology in music because it poses a threat to authenticity. Those who embrace rockist ideals feel that such technology leads to music without soul. They believe music has the ability to change lives through raw expression of emotion and truth, but only "authentic" music can do so. As its name would imply, Rockism feels rock is a pure creation of art which reflects upon the Romantic ideals of an artist. Music like pop is shunned by rockists because its repetitive and has a fake atmosphere to it. The common view amongst rockists is that pop embodies everything rock should not be--mass produced, commercialized, and dehumanized. Rockists not only dislike pop, though; in the 1980s, UK critics felt metal music was unauthentic because it promoted commercialism and distance from the audience. In general, rockism places an exceedlingly heavy emphasis on authenticity in music, and unsurprisingly, favors the rock genre.

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
I feel Sufjan Stevens is a better artist. I really feel Deerhoof is limited by Satomi's singing style. They have a lot of nice, albeit unconventional, rhythms going on in their songs, but Satomi's voice really doesn't seem to fit in with the music. Even though they've been together from 1994, their music really plays them off as slightly unorganized--almost like they are testing out a new style with new band members. On the other hand, this is, expectedly, not seen in Sufjan Steven's music since he is the only one making it. I feel his talent shows in his use of multitrack recording to create a song that is well structured and flows very well. I enjoy listening to the more mellow of Sufjan's tracks, as opposed to his upbeat ones. It is in these songs that Sufjan's vocal capabilities really shine. For me, vocals play a large part in whether I enjoy music or not, and whereas Deerhoof seems limited by them, Sufjan Stevens thrives on them.

5) How many invites do you require?
I would like one for myself.

Thanks for consideration.

― Arkane, Saturday, 24 March 2007 21:24 (nineteen years ago)

Arkane, you were rejected before you even thought about posting.

Take your faggotry elsewhere.

― Oink Administrator (sanskript), Saturday, 24 March 2007 22:10 (nineteen years ago)

Just in case my post got lost in the shuffle, I was told that my approval was pending, and that I should request a different user name because some people might consider "fat-latvian" offensive. I would like my user name to be "recspecs" if it's not already taken.

I've waited a little over a week and haven't heard anything. As such, was I rejected? If so, can I re-apply at some point in the future?

Thanks so much for your help!
-Dave (fat-latvian, hopefully soon to be recspecs)

― fat-latvian, Saturday, 24 March 2007 22:43 (nineteen years ago)

Dave, you need to re-register under your desired user-name here before we can proces your request for Oink.

Sorry for not being clear before.

;-)

― Oink Administrator, Sunday, 25 March 2007 03:01 (nineteen years ago)

I'm wondering if it is the same thing for me? that I have to re-register? or have I just been rejected? thought I should wait some time but I haven't got any answer since you gave me a nickname.

thx for even taking your time:)

― tobb3, Sunday, 25 March 2007 10:45 (nineteen years ago)

― Oink Administrator, Sunday, 25 March 2007 12:59 (nineteen years ago)

I'll spend my day off tomorrow trying to figure out what went wrong, but I am positive your account was cleared days ago.

― Oink Administrator, Sunday, 25 March 2007 13:02 (nineteen years ago)

I don't think I really understand what you mean with that? you mean you have sent info to my mail [email protected]?

Hi Oink Admins!

If I need to repost my application let me know, otherwise I'll just wait to hear from you all.

Thanks again for all your help!

a) tohms19
b) Tomas
c) 16
d) male
e) Illinois

1) RJD2 - The Third Hand; T.I. - King: Lupe Fiasco - Food and Liquor

2) In complete honesty, I did not know what rockism when I first read the question, and most of what I know now is based off of the previous posts. However, I will do a little research on my own to find out for myself what it means. My first impressions, at least, were that much like feminism and racism, rockism is concerned with the superiority or inferiority of rock music (or maybe pop culture in general (?)). I know this is a really obvious and vague response, but its based on my first impressions of the word itself.

4) Frankly, I have never heard of Deerhoof, but I am downloading some of their stuff right now. However, I have heard a fair amount of Sufjan Stevens. In particular, the album Illinois, which I was intrigued by, it being my home state. Unfortunately, I feel that his music is a bit too mellow for me and not enough indie (I'm not sure that came out right). I did really like Chicago and To Be Alone with you (I don't think thats on the Illinois album, but I heard it on my friend's ipod). Both songs sound a lot like the Headlights, an indie band from Illinois (my hometown actually), which I really like.

5) One, please

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Didn't have a clue but after a quick google define i came up with this: Rockism is an ideology of popular music criticism, originating in the British music press in the late 1970s or early 1980s. Now due to not being longer than 8 sentences i have to expand. Seems like it is about how some bands are not as authentic as others. this is due to mostly to the use of technology. back in the good old times of music musican's got down and dirty with their music and composed, made and recorded every note themselves. Now a days they can be using a keyboard to play drums if they have to as well as getting others to fill in the gaps or even make the whole song up for them completely. I think this is happening most in the pop culture where now a days its not about the true music but rather how many sales you can make and how much profit. Music used to be about the expression of the artist but now its all commericialised and may even have items put in as advertisement (both in video and audio form) to get that extra kick of moula. Its a sad world. well enough rambling that is what i thought off the top of my head.... any good?
