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

Rockism is the idea of popular music. 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) 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.

5) just one.

thank you for your consideration!

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.

5) How many invites do you require?

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.

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.

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.

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.

2) Rockism is the critical belief that rock music is better than other forms of popular music. Inherently better, that is, than say synthetically produced music because of the use of standard rock instruments like electric guitar, drums and electric bass. electro and hip hop is cool, but music performed with standard rock 'n roll instrumentation, for lack of a better word, rocks! for this reason, i'm a fan of post-rock -- intrumental atypical rock'n'roll music played with rock'n'roll instrumentation (ie: explosions in the sky rawk!). another example would be the hip-hop group The Roots. they rock more than chingy because they lay their grooves down with rock'n'roll instruments. damn, it's hard to write eight sentences like about this.

3) ok, i'll help fuel your chan marsall obsession: http://flickr.com/photos/chadwadsworth/247795411/. she hearts you too!

4) while Deerhoof's experimental music is cool, i have to side with Sufjan on this one. first of all, he's written christian music that doesn't suck; he expresses his faith without trying to evangelize. second, he likes the fifty states of america. third, he managed to write a song about the serial killer john wayne gacy that isn't super creepy. fourth, he has possibly the hottest women in indie rock playing the glockenspiel in his band: katrina kerns (http://www.badmintonstamps.com/images/katrina.bmp and http://www.zachklein.com/2005/08/ladies-and-gentlemen-sufjan-stevens.html). fifth, the dude can flat out sing. sixth, the dude can flat out write a song. seventh, his name is soof-yan... that's right, soof-yan. how can bambi's foot compare to that list?

5) just one, please. thank you senor piggie.

2)Rockism is a post modern term used to describe a way in which some people critically analyze music. It originated in the 80's after the so called "golden age of rock". It is usually used to describe an idealistic or perhaps romantic notion of what rock music should be in it's purest form. It's holding a particular piece as the ultimate pinnacle of what that genre should aspire to be and then comparing any aspect of it's structure and make up with something else, usually a more modern piece thats currently in the charts. It doesn't really matter how different it is in style or even genre because it's being held against a particular set of cardinal standards determined by the critic. Sometimes it's used in a slightly less broad sense to describe music that was 'meaningful', 'written with a timeless quality' or 'made to last through the ages.' It isn't always used to describe the music and band themselves but also the entire culture that surrounds it including fashion, politics and beliefs. Some would see it as an obnoxious or snobbish way of reviewing music, perhaps destined to wear out as music branches further away from what the popular idea of good rock music is. Wow, I sounded like a bit of an arse reading all that back. Oh well. :)

4) This ones going to be harder. I've only ever ever heard one album by each artist and it's tough to beat 'Illious' by any stretch. Personally from what i've heard i'd say Surjan Stevens is the more likable artist. It's perhaps unjust to call him "better", but I think he's more accessible. Deerhoof's music is more experimental and un-predictable from what i've listened to. I liked his style but I didn't think it was as brilliant as Illinos, which is probably a masterpiece. Steven's music has an honesty and a feeling like your listening to something really well crafted. His music's quirky oddness feels more natural than Deerhoof's.
I think both artists require more than one listen to fully appreciate. Maybe sometime i'll give Deerhoof another go.

2) Rockism is the use of only bass, guitar and drums and the non-use of electronics in music. I think this is bullshit, if we're ever going to move forward in rock music we need to bring new sounds and new instruments to the game. If you take away the power to progress, rock is going to die. Under "rockism", most of the music you and I love, wouldn't have happened. While I agree that music is over produced today, it doesn't mean we have to go back to reel to reel. Think of a world without New Order. That's a world I don't want to live in.

4) Deerhoof is the better band. Mr. Stevens rehashes old folk song styles and a tired sound. Deerhoof is one of those band that progresses, you pick up a Deerhoof album and it might take a while for you to get into it. But, once you do, you're loving it. Sufjan, I don't see anything special in his music. Deerhoof is a band that has a unique sound for our generation, people will look back in 20 years and see Deerhoof albums as generation landmarks. While Stevens album "Illinois" is not a bad album by any means. It's just forgettable.

2) Well, I'm going to be honest, and say that I've never heard of it before now. Therefore, I'm not going to lie and pretend that I know about it. At first, I think that it sounds like some kind of genre of music, but after reading a few other replies, I realize I'm quickly wrong. Apparently, it is basically talking about elitism in rock music, and we all know how much people love that. What do I think about elitism and saying that all rock music will never be as good as the classics? The fact that people who say that need to listen to more different types of music and appreciate the fact that bands play whatever they want. They could be playing mainstream rap and talking about sex and whores and drugs and pimps and how "gangster" they are, but instead they chose to plug in a guitar and play. Why cannot everyone just accept rock as rock and stop comparing stuff all the time? The fact that some people are even trying to make rock music is good enough, and they could do without being insulted for never being as good as the "classics". Well I guess within that period of time I just learned what Rockism is....

4) I've never heard of either. I'm also afraid that if I go up and actually do what I should've done from the beginning (go to wikipedia), that I will find out who these people actually are, and I'll be more ashamed than I already am as of right now. As it's going, in comparison to how I was before I entered this page, I know I'm not getting the invite, and I'm just having fun now because I'm bored. I take it they are probably both good and both have strong and negative artistic qualities. omg I think that's eight sentences....and after counting it just _looks_ that way! : D

5) Enough to get me into the site, to get rid of boredom, or both.

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week
Folsom- If you're a Viper, Trashzone- DRI, Then There Were None- Red Scare

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Copy and paste wikidpedia definition here. Fuck that, here's what "rockism" means to me. When asked the question, what is rockism one must take many criteria into mind. Actually that's complete bullshit, it all leads down to the fact that opinions are like assholes, mine's just better than yours. This parallels into the music world, where simply some music is better than other. Unfortunately, the world is not quite ready for this as some music out there is complete shit and unfortunately has developed a massive following due to the fact that the majority of the population has become musically impotent. Music is either good, or bad.

3) Post a link to your favorite picture of Cat Power

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Sufjan Stevens. You know how some things are just better than others? Well, this is one of those situations. Sure some wanna be pretentious indie hipster trolling the internet, I mean local record store might come across Deerhoof on myspace, cough, I mean "vinyl" and think Deerhoofs the best thing since shitty starbucks coffee, but I've never really gone along with what those types have to say. I mean Sufjan sure is a hell of a lot more motivated. Any man who wants to try and capture all 50 states in a collection of 50 cds obviously has some drive. Illinois was one hell of a download, cough, I mean album. Deerhoof might be one of those bands that sounds better while one's head is emerged in water, has consumed large amounts of mind altering chemicals, or otherwise. Point remains, Sufjan Stevens is just better.
