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.

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.

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
