IDM pretentious?

Next time someone lays the old, "you IDM guys are so
pretentious, lol!" argument (if it can be called that) when
you slate EMO/whatever dross your friends listen to, show
them this:

Marissa Marchant

$1000 for 1 album?

Listen to the samples... Sounds like someone pitch bending a
Tori Amos acapella whilst a pianist with cerebral palsy
attempts to play along.

Give her a break - she's invented a new instrument called a
harpsachord.

There's loads of spelling mistakes throughout her site. I
can't work out whether it's her expressive way of showing
her individualism or if she's just retarded.

>insert obligatory fawlty towers reference here<

yeah most are pretentious and it's ridiculous considering
the relative ease with which tracks are made.

mm. yes. you're right..

in her Beautiful And Deep Poetry she has invented the new
adjective "sweeky", as in "sweeky clean".

my oh my!

HA HA HA

when you go to Gigs, the first line reads. just after
Up'coming Performances (up'coming ofcourse
being the new hip cool way to write upcoming,
un'derstand?):

"My pay pal is not working right now, because I have to get
my driver license in a new state, and get a bank account."

From her MB:

"yes it would be lovely
if the music industry was a music industry, and not just
about selling
quick and microwaved stuff.

I gigged and people seem like they are not interested in
art, but only
talking about famous people.

They talk and scream loudly when people perform and show no
respect for
artists on stage anyway.

I think that respect is the key word.

I sing if the audience is respectful, and giving me what I
worth.

The primadona attitude is where's it at now. Pretentious or
not. Got to go
now.

The begger routine is over.

Throwing me coins is not what I am worth.

I will be off the net for the entire day.

have a good day everyone, and enjoy your
weekend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

no, becaue idm sounds cool, adm not. intelligent dance music
sounds crap, advanced dance music sounds better. so there
you go.

Heheh!

She's so angry at the industry. I don't know if she's been
rejected by record companies, on the blob or just plain
retarded. I can't imagine her getting rejected, I mean she's
playing an acoustic guitar and singing!

I gotta keep up with her news section. See her rise to fame
eventually.

I get the VERY strong feeling her needs are provided for by
parents' trust fund or rich husband. Only someone
completely sheltered from responsibility is that immune to
common sense.

I love her sense of logic though.

she hates the record-industry for all it's moneymaking etc.

so what does she do?

try to sell her cd's for $1000 a pop.

Intermittent Slob

dirt, dirt, more dirt, clean it with your spit and skirt

cotton balls, towels on walls... messiness alert

this intermittent slobby side has come to be my battle

when all is scrubbed and sweeky clean, come heards of bull
and cattle

I've blamed the bulls, tornado, wolves, some nuclear
explosion

but I know best, my inner quest, to conquer this in motion.

gotta love the poems

it, the stupid bitch.
