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.

I'm not even sure if this is still up for grabs but what the hell. I'm bored and this was kinda fun to fill out.

a) Positivx
b) Lisa
c) 34
d) Female
e) Washington USA

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week:

Amy Winehouse - Back to Black (320kbps)
Arcade Fire - Neon Bible (256kbps)
Jussi Syren Rockabilly Revival - Stayin On Top of the Beat

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

Basically it is like every other 'ism' in the way one would tend to be biased toward whatever word came before the 'ism'. In this case it's "Rock". Rockists would have you believe that modern forms of musical technology (i.e sampling and/or computer enhanced segments) would make one what we used to like to call "posers" back in the day. In simplest terms, not a real rocker. It's a sort of elitist attitude to take and I, myself, believe that any form of musical expression should be considered.

However, I do sort of agree with the notion that commercialism and marketing have destroyed heartfelt and authentic music. This is also one of the thoughts behind Rockism.

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

[Removed Illegal Link]

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

I, honestly, haven't been exposed to much Deerhoof so I don't feel I'm qualified to compare the two. However, I'm very much a huge fan of Sufjan. His words are thoughtful, witty and even whimsical. I think the sheer idea of planning a release for every US state is, in itself, a statement as to his originality even if it is ambitious. Listening to his music somehow invokes feelings of hope for me. Hope for what? I'm not really sure but when I hear Illinoise it's like I'm in a place where things are simple and good.

I was lucky enough to see a performance at the Sasquatch Festival here in Washington last year. It was simply wonderful and goofy at the same time.

5) How many invites do you require?

Just one.

6) More:

Thought I'd throw some extra stuff in here. Shameless plug if you will...
I'm currently a member of a few other popular-but-hard-to-get-into torrent sites and I maintain a respectable ratio at all of them (1.53 being my lowest and 4.18 being my highest).

Thanks for your time. =)

― Positivx, Sunday, 6 May 2007 09:28 (sixteen years ago) link

Apparently my last post didn't like my link to Cat Power if that can EVEN be possible. So here is a new one:

Lisa, we're likely gonna need pix of you now to fix the bold issue.

― forksclovetofu, Sunday, 6 May 2007 14:30 (sixteen years ago) link

my attempt to fix[/b] the thread.

― MonsterZero, Sunday, 6 May 2007 14:55 (sixteen years ago) link

Ya, I'm really sorry about that guys. It had something to do with the link that was removed. I searched frantically for an edit button after I saw what I had done. I knew then that I had officially failed at posting when I didn't find one. =(

@ am0n:

I suppose if a picture will make me look like less of a dope, then I can come up with one for ya. Stay tuned.

[/b] ? .... Ugh.

― Positivx, Sunday, 6 May 2007 15:33 (sixteen years ago) link

Apparently, I fail at reading as well. The above was @ forksclovetofu, not am0n. It's 8:30am and I haven't been to bed yet. I'm so tired...

― am0n, Sunday, 6 May 2007 20:14 (sixteen years ago) link

I just woke up. 4 hours sleep. I feel like poop.
am0n, if you must have pics, look up my username on Myspace. There are also sexy pics of my h-u-s-b-a-n-d for you to drool over. =P

― Positivx, Sunday, 6 May 2007 21:25 (sixteen years ago) link

Its true. There are.

― Myspace Password Admin, Monday, 7 May 2007 02:13 (sixteen years ago) link

Positivx-

We were very very very impressed with your application. Very.

However, there is no way we can issue you an invite until this bold typeface fiasco is resolved.

Regards,

LOL! Sorry guys, his alternate Village People outfit was at the cleaners...

@ Oink Addy:

Thanks anyway, Sir. I only have myself to blame. ='( Would you believe that I'm a Web Designer, normally proficient with code?

Maybe an admin would be kind enough to fix my blunder.

― Positivx, Monday, 7 May 2007 02:44 (sixteen years ago) link

what is the alternate Village People outfit?

― g®▲Ðұ, Monday, 7 May 2007 02:47 (sixteen years ago) link

I think she's referring to the alternate 6th "backup" Village Person, Jasper Friedman, who would ofent cavort backstage in an assless NASA spacesuit.

Greetings Mr., Miss, Mrs.? Oink Admin!

I am not trying to speed up your decision process at all (I promise!) I just wanted to post here to make sure you did not forget about me.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I passed! I would love so much to be a part of your Oink community. Many thanks for your time.

Kind regards,

anoushka

a) sharas
b) Sarunas
c) 18
d) Male
e) Lithuania, Kretinga

1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week

Depeche mode - Music for the masses DTS-CD (1411kbps)
Depeche mode - Playing The Angel DTS-CD (1411kbps)
Tchaikovsky 1812 Overture DTS-DVD (1536kbps)

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

Rockism is an ideology which borned in the beginning of eighties. It was formed by British

music press. The main idea of this is that some music genres (especially rock) and bands are

more original and more truthful than others. Rockists are against popular music which uses
sound synthesers or is digitally processed. They claim that music is form of self-expression and it
must freely come from artist's heart and creativity, but not from producers and sound engineers
labs on purpose to get bigger profits.

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

http://stefanogiovannini.com/portfolios/catpowerpics/images/04-chan.JPG

4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum)

I had never heard of them, so I downloaded few songs. It's hard even to compare them. When i listened to Deerhoof,
I imagined weird chicken who first time got a guitar in his hands. Sufjan Stevens reminded me the Coldplay, he is
calm and concentrated and made better impressions than Deerhoof. So I stand for Sufjan Stevens

5) How many invites do you require?

Only one

P.S. Sorry for bad english.

Thank you for your attention.

Dear Oink Administrator,

Happy Monday!

I just wanted to add that I very much appreciate your request to have us Oink hopefuls write about rockism. I was not familiar with rockism before filling out this application, and since I have become very intrigued with the term. I love all kinds of music, including electronic, and just last night a friend of mine brought up an interesting point about how these days he is always hearing kids into electronic music (DJ's and such) talk about how they want to be a "rockstar". It made me think about rockism, and I was able to explain this phenomenon in correlation to that term. Anyway, I just thought that was interesting and fun. I wanted to thank you for enlightening me to that! :)

Cheers mate!

Thank jeebus. I got a mod to fix this thread. The bolder blunder is no more! Soooooo, Oink Addy... =P

Actually, I was lucky enough to get a friend to get me an invite so I no longer need your admin services.

Don't despair! You're still valuable as I am in constant need of your wit and memory bank of useless information. (i.e 6th "backup" Village Person, Jasper Friedman, who would often cavort backstage in an assless NASA spacesuit)
