a) requested username: Fromez b) first name: Mel c) age: 23 d) gender: Male e) geographic location: Newcastle, England
1) Name three shared albums: Rock Plaza Central - Are We Not Horses; Arrah and the Ferns- Evan is a Vegan; Blonde Redhead - 23
2) Despite its title, Rockism is a deceptive term. I don't think it comments so much on rock and roll as on music as a whole. And in these terms, rockism is an intelligent discourse. Though not quite my cup of tea.
I like its message of music purity, having emphasis on musicians making the music for the music's sake and not for commercial reasons. Also, purity can cue arguments about natural instruments versus synthesisers and other artificial sounds.
It's a mixed concept though for me because I'm a fan of Susumu Yokota, who uses many traditional Japanese instruments, as well as Vangelis. But then you can excuse Vangelis' work because of his artistic intent. I'm a fan of Christina Aguilera as well as Espers, but how do you define Christina's artistic intent? On the other hand, I'm sure you could waffle on about the merits of any album under the sun, and argue "My Humps" is intended to be a ironic pro-feminist essay on depiction of women in mass culture.
I think while music causes intellectual responses in you, I don't think music itself should be interpreted in an overly intellectual way, more on emotion. You can listen to an album and like it, or you can go to Pitchfork, see it has a 6.2 score and decide you don't.
3) Post a link to your favorite picture of Cat Power: http://www.newcenter.com/tastefest/2006/media/photos/MOTORCITY_CASINO_MAIN_STAGE/CAT%20POWER%20&%20THE%20MEMPHIS%20RHYTHM%20BAND.jpg
4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? I like both. However, being a fellow Steiner school graduate I have to go for Sufjan Stevens. And Deerhunter eats Deerhoof for breakfast. More seriously, on a musical note I think his concept of creating albums inspired by all of the states of America is restricting him. It's an interesting concept but he's too good to be restricted but I think I'd like to see him tackle a subject that makes him passionate, and to have these passions come across in his music. He's a more interesting musician than Deerhoof because his influences go beyond just his own music, and I like that he's created a circle of collaborators like Danielson, Rosie Thomas etc. 5) How many invites do you require? 1. lucibel_mel*at*hotmail.com

2) Rockism is the translation of the greek word Rockismos, and latin rockismus. Its the encapsilation of all things music in a rock hard appreciation. Rockism is just as much loving music as it is knowing music. Rockism is the inability to fathom just how one record could be so good. Rockism is watching a the needle on a record as if it were a music video. Rockism is cat power's croon, to cocorosie's cackle; and everything in between. Rockism isn't about pretentions or being hip, its about truly loving what you listen to, and never settling for less. Rockism is available in every medium, from the heel of your shoe to the tip of your figers, however, most importantly via OINK!

4) Sufjan has proven via journalism his appreciation for modern musicians, which makes him a man I can respect. Also, Sufjan is a collaborator with just about everyone on the musical spectrum imaginable. Though his music hasn't always stricken me as worthy of his potential, the fact that he has that potential makes him one of my favorite artists. Deerhoof have reached their potential, and not to say they won't push beyond it. Actually, if any band could, it would probably be deerhoof. They've come from koalamagic to friend opportunity and are at once completely different, as well as all the same. Deerhoof's singer satomi hasn't changed her spastic shouts, rather perfected them. Not to mention the drummer collaborates with a ton of people too! So I guess it's hard to say. As a band, I like deerhoof more simply because of the variety of sounds their catalog offers. As a musician, I respect Sufjan more, because he is one of the most savvy artists around. Not to mention a damn good musician himself.
5) 1 or 2 would be greatly greatly appreciated.

a) requested username = mongirl b) first name (no surnames) = Brunilda c) age = 36 d) gender = Female e) geographic location = Dubai, UAE
1) Name three shared albums (+192kbps only) that others have successfully downloaded from you in the past week 2007 Giuliano Palma & The Bluebeaters [The Album] Depeche Mode - Cash To The World Vol.1 (2007) Mutya Buena - Real Girl (2007) 2) What is rockism? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum) Rockism is a way to write about and to critisize music, especially rock. It is sometimes seen that the older more authentic "rock" sounds were more ideal. But others feel even that is a rockism as one should embrance any music new and old and rock without only ethetics in mind. The word rockism is often misused and has become abused as a buzz word in the music critic arena. The term indicates how critique, reporting about music might change and how it affects the way people think. Long ago the main music magezines wrote about the rockers and set the stage as it were of how we should perceive rock bands etc. Or so the rockists would want it. Rockism could be compared to racism where a group of people see one set of ideas as the ideal without remaining open to new ideas, sounds, ideals. Each and everyone has there own priorities and therefore also their own preferences when it comes to music so one particular kind of music should and could never be the ultimate music. Although I love older music and the sound of clear lyrics it might not be ideal for everyone. My favorite or another's should not be seen as the only true music to enjoy. 3) Post a link to your favorite picture of Cat Power = http://www.sentireascoltare.com/CriticaMusicale/Monografie/catpower/catpower.jpg 4) Which artist is better, Sufjan Stevens or Deerhoof? Why? (answer in paragraph format, eight sentence minimum). I don't like Deerhoof at all. Its too cute and as sweet as honey. The girlie voice will drive me bonkers, at first I think its a child and then a crying moaning woman. I like Sufjan Stevens, the sounds are clear. Some songs sound a bit old fashioned but thats what I really like at times.I like to listen to lyrics that also make me want to hear clear voices much more. Their ballads almost take me back as if I lived in the 70's. Well, okay I did live but was barely there as I was born in 1970. If its not clear and english I like sultry latin/ italian sounds. 5) How many invites do you require? 1
