So hey, you said I was denied, but I didn't get banned for life etc etc. Can I reapply? Did my Jenny Lewis picture not make up for the repetition of the Richard Avedon photo? Eh?

Ladies and Gentlemen of Oink-

I come to you with grave news. I have received some information which I must share with you on this public forum. It has come to my attention that "ralph" is actually working for the R1AA. He has been sent here by his superiors to learn more about the Oink application process and infiltrate it. If a mission like this were to ever be successful, it could mean the end of Oink as we know it. It is my hope that this day will never come.

TO EVERYONE: please do not give "ralph" and Oink invite. He will most likely return under a different login and we will notify you when he does so. Please use extreme caution when passing precious pink invites on to others you may not know so well.

Ralph has been banned from both Oink and this forum. Do not associate with him.

Thank you.

-Oink

^^^^^^Do not listen to this guy.^^^^^^

He is not an Oink administrator. He had an off-board beef with ralph and is trying to slander him in this forum.

Grady has been banned 60 days.

Ralph has been sent an invite. (we're sorry for all the confusion ralph." be sure that grady wont be around to bother you any more.)

Side Liner - Once Upon A Time - Cosmicleaf - 2007 (FLAC)

2) The question "What is Rockism?" is very debatable, and open for individual interpretation. For Kelefa Sanneh, rockism is the aesthetic that defines itself by building barriers against what rock isn't. It means, he says, "idolizing the authentic old legend (or underground hero) while mocking the latest pop star; lionizing punk while barely tolerating disco; loving the live show and hating the music video." Rockism is treating rock music as the standard musical form, or the norm. In the rockist view, rock is the standard state of popular music: the kind to which everything else is compared. Rockism is an attitude about evaluating music. Rockism seems to do an exceptionally distressing job of maintaining genre boundaries. “Rockism” as a vocabulary, is often credited with growing out of the 60’s—Rolling Stone, Dylan, etc. The debate itself of "What is rockism" seemingly took shape in the 1980's. The interesting meaning about the word "rockism" is that it's not only rockist to love rock. Rockism can apply to different kinds of music.

4) I have to be honest and say I hadn't heard of either artist, but then I poked around online and listened to some of the artist’s music on there. I really liked the track "Chi Tan First Guitar" by Deerhoof. The guitar and voices on it are really pretty. However, I found that most of Deerhoof's music just wasn't triggering any synaptic response for me. I loved the track "For the Windows. . ." by SufjanStevens, but I also liked what I heard of the avalanche. I'm going to have to go with liking SufjanStevens better. The style of music is more preferable to me. I also like his voice as well as the range of instruments in incorporates into his music. He seems to have a fresh perspective and a passion for all the emotion he is putting into his music.

5) One (1) invite would be fantastic. Thank you!

<i>I haven't heard it yet! What does it sound like??</i>

It's really sharp. She's kinda doing a bjork thing with her voice now that sounds kinda yodel-ly. One song has a guy crying in the background through the whole thing.

I'd just like to say thanks to whoever on this board for my OiNK invite...and I'm puzzled that it wasn't from "Oink Admin". I've waited patiently and received it this morning and I am enthralled by the amount of music on the site. I'm still surprised to see that the people who were "accepted" are not listed as users on the site. What's going on?

hey crabcigar, have you been able to get a copy of the new cat power album from oink yet? from what forksclovetofu says, it sounds very emotionally resonant and poignant. i'm not on oink, or i'd oink myself a copy. do you think you could get me a copy if I post nice things about you on your appreciation thread?

― Lingbert, Saturday, 5 May 2007 03:36 (seventeen years ago) link

Fuck a cat power album, can you send me an invite? This application process is fishy.

― g®▲Ðұ, Saturday, 5 May 2007 03:49 (seventeen years ago) link

lingbert - i'm afraid that the new album isn't on oink yet. it's already on the request list since february 19th though. i wonder where forksclovetofu got his.

― crabcigar, Saturday, 5 May 2007 03:52 (seventeen years ago) link

i have invites, and no real friends...... who wants one?

― Pablo A, Saturday, 5 May 2007 03:54 (seventeen years ago) link

forksclovetofu has a blog, so I think he has access to things that regular people don't.

2) ahem. Rockism is suspicious of the use of technology, from synthesizers to Pro Tools-style computer-based production systems. Rockism places value on the idea of the composer and performer as auteur; authentic music is composed as a sincere form of self-expression, and usually performed by those who composed it. This is as opposed to the notion of manufactured "pop" music, created in assembly line fashion by teams of hired record producers and technicians and performed by pop stars who have little input into the creative process, designed to appeal to a mass market and make profits rather than express authentic sentiments.

Rockism is a primitivist ideology; a subtext of rockism is that, at one time in history, they "got music right", and that all subsequent innovations have compromised this purity. (This golden age is often placed sometime during the 1960s or 1970s.) Critics of rockism assert that this vaunted "golden age" of pure, authentic music is a myth, and that popular music never was entirely free of the interference of commercialism, marketing and commodification.

Design critic and indie pop musician Nick Currie compared Rockism to the art movement of Stuckism, which holds (among other things) that artists who do not paint are not artists.

4) Eh, depends on my mood. Generally listen to more deerhoof these days.

When I first started listening to both of them around the Apple O and Michigan time, I preferred Sufjan Stevens as Deerhoof was too out there for me. But my tastes have since expanded.

But also, I don't want to be one of those jerks who can't find the gumption to make a decision, so I'll have to say I'd rather go without sufjan than without deerhoof for the rest of my days. Which is saying quite a bit, because if Sufjan completes a record for every state I'd have to love him for the audacity of it.

Actually, no i wouldn't. Deerhoof. I like their innovations.

5) I REQUIRE ONE (1) INVITE! HEED MY CALL! Also, I have a massive music collection which I'd be willing to share. Mainly obscure I'd say, some 90000 songs.

hmm, after belatedly reading, "OK, everyone who is just plagiarizing the Wikipedia definition of Rockism (or slightly rewriting it) is banned. 180 day username ban and 180 day IP address ban. You know who you are.
-- Oink Administrator (sanskrit), Tuesday, January 30, 2007 4:03 PM (3 months ago)", (and i thought i was being snarky and clever) i'd like to amend my 2nd answer to:

rockism:
R is for radical bias towards the traditional 2 guitars, drums, bass set up, playing straight up rock.
O is for old golden days of rock which are falsely purported to be the true rock sound and better than this gosh darn new fangled new rock.
C is for conventional and narrow definition of rock music.
K is for kicking bad habits like rockism.
I is for ignorance towards musical evolution.
S is for satanic.
M is for mwhere's my invite?

please, choose me.

So there's this one track on the C.P. album I can't get enough of called 'Rugged'; it's the crying one. It starts out with a really angry rapper, this guest guy that she got called R.A. The Rugged Man. I dunno, he's really GANGSTA on it and then after a half minute or so, it starts fading out the rapping and fading in Cat Power singing really softly "Let the hurt go let the hurt go" and there's a slow and constant swelling of violin strings and the rapper gets quieter and quieter until eventually he's just sort of sobbing in the background and then he starts singing "let the hurt go" with Chan.

It's really intense. this might be her way of breaking through to the hip hop crowd? Best thing I've heard this quarter.
