i'm just curious what kind of lex or tuomas-type rep i apparently have among some people about making a show of not knowing things

some dude, Friday, 4 January 2013 14:39 (thirteen years ago)

would imagine it's less about any flauging and more about a perceived self-satisfaction at ur own uninquisitiveness and what might be seen as a resultant snide comfy conservatism

r|t|c, Friday, 4 January 2013 14:54 (thirteen years ago)

I thought it was about "I don't know who that is" instead of implying everyone should be familiar with everyone's works. Hence the Tuomas thing.

I thought it was about someone fundamentally failing to understand this thread's premise.

i've chosen not to go for an iphone for several reasons, primarily because i can't fucking stand touchscreens

Late to the party, but sarahell otm -- what the fuck is the supposed connection Xenakis vs Sonic Youth? Claiming that ppl who love P should know about Q seems like the worst type of history- and/or quotemongering at the expense of actually paying attention to the music. I love X and uhm respect the Y, but any musical connection the two might have is beyond me (probably because it is nonexistent, what?).

anatol_merklich, Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:07 (thirteen years ago)

anatol, i think people might be zeroing in on this because some dude is a) a professional music writer, b) one of ILX's most omnivorous music listeners and chronic list-makers. I don't think there would even be a conversation if some random dope who likes sonic youth didn't know who xenakis is.

k, next time someone i'm disagreeing with makes a reference that's out of my depth instead of staying on the humble and admitting it i'll be a 10-second wikipedia expert and front like everybody else

the legend of bigger yansh (some dude), Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:25 (thirteen years ago)

dogg playing yourself by saying you have "no idea who" one of the most important composers of the 20th century is might be a little different than sneaking off and learning about Tiger Trap or w/e

fuck wit' lysandre day (Whiney G. Weingarten), Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:26 (thirteen years ago)

wiki expertise claims another honest man

Mordy, Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:26 (thirteen years ago)

pfft, xenakis one of the most important composers of the 20th century, overrated

lag∞n, Saturday, 19 January 2013 16:27 (thirteen years ago)

I guess some dude is making those lists of 100 greatest alterna rock albums of 1994 OFF THE DOME and not using the Internet huh

xp there's a whole thread devoted to ilx helpfully filling me in on over a decade's worth of television I had no clue about. I am not worried about this theoretical hammer.
