Hi everybody, so hows the problem solving going? It's been a while now:(

hey tobb, how are you?

we missed you around here!

:) :) :)

hehe been away for a while..still no piggie, oink, for though :(

hey tobb, you're back! where did you go?

i got an oink invite, did you get one yet?

yepp I'm back, I was very busy studying lots of important exams.. no haven't got mine yet:( but I'm waiting patiently or at least I'm trying to:P

hi tobb3!!! good to see you back on the board!

what exams were you studying for? I just spent a week studying for my maths and language finals. i had lots of guess papers to help me out.

i should be getting my Oink invite this week, (fingers crossed) let me know if you get yours.

:) :) :)

Had a biology test and a Marine Ecology test..pretty intense a lot to learn but it's interesting:)

how is Marine Ecology different from Marine Biology?

i am v v interested.

;-)

Well I'm not Exactly sure but maybe it's like more concerned around how humans effect the environment in the sea and the way the species effect eachother bla bla..but I think they are more or less the same thing just two different names:P

so you had to take two different exams in two different classes on the exact same thing? no wonder you needs some Oink invites.

:P :P :P

haha not exaclty my biology test was about fysiology and the marine ecology was about worms and stuff from the baltic sea..

worms from the baltic sea?!? that sounds rad!!!!!!!!!!!!

2) What is rockism?
Rockism is the very definition of rock - the distilled essence, including the blood sweat and tears - made up by some nerdy guy trying to explain an artistic movement. Modern authentic rockism can be found but are quite rare these days, perhaps it was once easier to be inspired, original and raw.

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Rockism, much like literature's archetypal (or 'new' as it is also known) is the analysis and judgement of a piece of music by its parts. Rockism's states, mainly, that there was, at some point in time, a golden age of music. Music's golden age, the ideals of rockism state, was the era in which all songs were written by performers, where all bands had the same make-up (namely a guitar player, a bass-ist and a drummer), and where a song's appeal to the masses made no difference to a record company; music was best, a rockist would argue, when performers focused on producing albums with meaning, and not on hitting #1 with a great single. One who has lived through (or at least listened to) the music of the 50's and 60's might readily point out that the rockist 'paradise' never truly existed; in this sense rockism strives for an unseen and unachievable ideal. The critics of rockism state that a rockist listener loses sight of a song, as a whole, by focusing on its production, and the motives behind the music. (Funnily, rockism doesn't have too many proponents, as its original use and its current connotations were and still are derogatory.) Rockism is not without merit: when computers and teams of recording company 'technicians' can create chart-toppers, the honest garage band has no hope of becoming mainstream. In conclusion, though, rockism is nothing but an idea of a past time. Rock no longer makes the world turn, and 'rockists' are the music lovers who fail to see the new world order. Rockism and its practitioners are audiophiles who cannot let go of the past. Rockists would do better to cherish their heritage than to look down on the current generation of musicians.


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.
I'd yet to hear a decent sounding popular song in 5/4 (but that might have been due to my musical immaturity) until 'Come on Feel the Illinoise'. I like the musicality of their music (which points to another shortcoming of rockism: musicians come in all sorts of packages and flavors). I'm not quite sure what instrumentation they use, but it seems as if there's brass in some of their songs, a fact that I find quite cool - I'm in my school's drumline. To better respond to this question I listened to a few Stevens songs, and, after having finished listening to them, I think that the variety in their music is remarkable: I can't think of another band with such a wide range of sounds (maybe ozomatli ? ). Deerhoof reminded me of Ladytron, a bit. I think they doesn't appeal to my tastes, the vocals Deerhoof uses; the music that they play is soothing (when it ought to be) and their use of contrast keeps their music interesting.


5) How many invites do you require?

2 (a buddy of mine loves Brit Rock more than you could ever imagine; his birthday is 4/4 and I haven't gotten him anything else)

[im][Removed Illegal Link]

ironic, that

admin lol WHAT? still don't have an invite and rebooting won't give me one either:P haha..this must be the biggest prank I have ever seen..thx for keeing me busy anyways:D

/tobb3

Tobb3, this is not a prank, it's just that we paid these programmers in the UK to recode our invite request system. We're out a little over $1,000 for the project and now functionality is worse than it was before. Don't worry, we're still fighting it out with them. Please be patient for your acceptance e-mail.

In other news, some of my print writing for Wired just went up onto their online archive.

You are the digital prophet I have long been seeking.

a) requested username - phanb
b) first name - Binh
c) age - 28
d) gender - male
e) geographic location - 49.225 N, 123.106 W (Vancouver, BC, Canada) lol

1) Bright Eyes - Cassadaga
The Chemical Brothers - Live At The Social Volume 1
Hot Chip - The Warning

2) Rockism is an ideology used to classify and authenticate musical artists on a scale of how rockerish they are. With the evolution of music and blending of styles, there is no longer a need to classify artists as belonging to one genre. Therefore such artists as K-Os, Black Eyed Peas, Postal Service & The Klaxons cross multiple genres and therefore the idea that these artists could be held to one genre is insane. There should be a new term called Awesomism, there by fans and critics can just decide whether a band or artist is Awesome or not. There no longer is a need to classify musical artists in categories, because the musical community has evolved since '70s or early '80s, which was when the term was created. We are supposed to listen and judge by our own criteria, not other's. How silly would it be to have an R&Bism or Drum'n'Bassism? I will never be a judge of someone's level of rockism.

4) Depends on my mood... If I'm lounging around my house on a Sunday, I'm all for Surfjan Stevens 8/10 times, but if I'm ready to roll out on a Friday night it's usually Deerhoof... I don't see why I'd have to choose which is better... which would I rather listen to? which would I rather see perform right now? which would win in a fight? (Deerhoof haha) or which would I stalk? haha those would seem to be better questions to ask...

5) I'd only require 1 invite for myself, because I'm quite certain I would share enough to be granted invites...

Thanks

ph✧✧✧@te✧✧✧.n✧✧

Hehe ok sry for my attack but got kinda frustrated, sry to hear that you're having so much trouble:( well well gotta see the new lost episode. hear ya later guys:D Happy easter holiday btw:D

This thread = reason internets were invented.

(flattery gets you nowhere).

I have NOO clue...It kinda annoys too much sci-fi. But i guess it could be something that the scientists that were there from the begining invented..just love this show cause you really don't understand anything:D

YOU DON'T NEED LUBE WHEN YOU HAVE DIARRHEA

hello OiNK!

Hi Crabcigar!

how is the deciding coming along? :)


take care.

Oh, its going allright.

How have things been in your neck of the woods?

quite well, although i am suffering from the heat here. it almost reached 90 degrees today.

Got my invite today! Thanks!

:):) That's great news chaki! Welcome to our community! :):)

90 degrees is a bummer, crabcigar. Heat makes me sweat and feel icky, which is no fun at all. So what else is going on in your life? Me, I'm just trying to keep things fresh and interesting, you know?

fresh and interesting? like bread? a fresh loaf of bread. with condiments and lettuce and meats and such, and occasionally a squid tentacle to make things interesting. the sandwich itself wouldn't be so fresh after a few days. so, i think i will fix myself a sandwich after i post this. thank you for the indirect suggestion!

as for what's going on in my life, i have spring vacation for a week. whoo!

got any rockin' spring break plans?

also, if you're into tentacles, you need to check out some Standard Practice Papers

Of Montreal - Aldhils Arboretum [320kbps]

2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
I don't know, how to explain. Everyone can read it in Wikipedia, but my english knowledge would not satisfy you guys...

3) Post a link to your favorite picture of Cat Power
Well i don't like Cat Power at all... so no fav. picture!

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)
Well i'd prefer Sufjan Stevens of course. His music clearly comes with more harmony and the vocal and instrumental parts are better composed together. Another thing i really enjoyed was the funny 5cd Christmas Collection by Sufjan Stevens. Oh dudes my English is to bad, i hope one can at least understand some of my sentences and how they where ment.

5) How many invites do you require?
1

Would be very glad about an Invite...
