The sad thing, Marissa, is that you are actually defeating your own chances of achieving any level of success or even building a following by refusing to give your music to people who genuinely want to hear it, and then using some sort of nonsense about "professionals" and "commercialism" as an excuse. Get over yourself.

the guy from Joe's pub said that he might be able to get me a gig at this place...might.....
but then said that he can't make me promises and said that he liked britney spears....
and they give gigs to amateurs freely.

I marissa'd you marissa! where you been?

most of the music in the commerical world passed 1975 was on a real professional level

I don't know what this means.

I just figured it out: Marissa IS Joanna Newsome.

Can someone direct clueless folks to a FAQ about Marissa so we know what the deal is?

― NYCNative, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:10 (seventeen years ago) link

YOU will never FIND MY NEW STAGE NAME.

Maybe Mark G has written one. Otherwise, I think the mother of all Marissa threads has been deleted in a fit of mod rage.

Anyway, Act 1: Marissa struggling musician started sellling her CDs for thousands of bucks on her website, arguing that just like any piece of art, she alone could decide how much she would sell her stuff. Internet frenzy and sarcasm incurs.

act 2: Marissa starts posting on ILX. ILXors debate as to how the handle the situation, either by humoring her or by trying not to encourage the whole situation.

Act 3. Marissa announces that she has changed her name and "is gone of the net" because of us. For a while, she reappears using various names and launching attack threads against Bela Fleck and various obscure session musos.

Act 4: Marissa is perma-banned and disappears for nearly a year

Act 5: 2007 -a Nu-era: the phoenix is reborn

― baaderonixx, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:55 (seventeen years ago) link

There is, in fact, an Act 6 already in place.

― Ned Raggett, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 22:57 (seventeen years ago) link

hi,
this is marissa again. those damned fascists banned me....
i guess i wasn't polically correct in my statements...
I am not against people that are good musicians..
i just don't think they should be promoted as major stars...

I think the anti-intellectual agenda that has been going on has going been going on for a long time.

I like intellectualism...
I am sure most people would like to be challenged and not thought upon as dummies.

Nor do they want things on a low level...
I am under a band name...and doing quite well, but have to finish school...right now I am busy with schoolwork in front of me..and about to finish my guitar tracks..
you would be amazed at how my recordings sound..that is why it is taking so long...
it doesn't sound anything like two years ago.
I am determinded to become famous and inspire people ...
but not for the sake of being famous, but to inspire people and bring joy to people's lives.
I will become famous

I will become famous, with or without this board...or anyone involved in the commerical world..
My music is noticably high level at this point and the arrangement..and production..

this time it is being professionally mastered...

but it sounds nothing like my raw demos..I polished everything...including timing...
anything that was incorrect ...I redid....
I am almost done with 17 tracks...
I am sooooo busy....

I have alot of love in my heart and this love is something I need to share...
I am focused more on supporting talented people that I respect, then insulting people I don't respect .....
that is my basic personality.

I feel these people are a waste..and not worth insulting when people who are more gifted and nicer people exist..on the net..........
duncan sheik and his friends are very supportive of Johanna Newsome and would love my site so Kacie sheik and his friends can insult me and my friends via the net....
my friends are all intellectual and real artists.

baader you missed the best parts: marissa's public feuds with former Moody Blues Singer Justin Hayward and fusion-bluegrass virtuoso Bela Fleck!

(one way feuds conducted on ILM)

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:00 (seventeen years ago) link

unlike what you think...my life is not on the net....
you live your life evaluating people on the net and blogs..that you don't know where written by the actual person..
I live in the real world...

My world and life doesn't revolve around the net....

this little board and this comments on the net are not important to my real life.

I don't care about being harassed on the net...or the snide and insulting comments....

But I am such a positive person ...especially about music...that these insulting comments are only getting off the subject that I am very talented.

and yes, I don't like Bela Fleck and I don't like anyone from the commerical world...or any commerical want to be's....he is not someone I hate more then all the others...

I don't think he is a genuine person who is a truly humble or giving person.

He is like all the others...
I don't like ingenuine people who are only out for money and who have no real aesthetic interests..

Music is NOT a business .....for those people who view music as a business...
you will never be respected by many people.

I'm sorta mystified by the repeated mispelling of the same word in the same way over and over and over and over and over

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:06 (seventeen years ago) link

The "Act" list is fairly correct.

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

i have no interest in talking about any commerical people...so why are you?
these people are all having their last harrah...
they are all has beens...

they are all living off their past...

they are all obsolete in the real world..right now....

these people are nobodies....

justin plays small casinos...
and bela was cut from his record company....and is a has been.
his career is over....that is a fact...anything that points to anything different is a lie.

these has beens are not worth speaking about.....

― the real marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:07 (seventeen years ago) link

Shakey, you misspelled misspelling, you're a bot too!

― StanM, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:08 (seventeen years ago) link

It's hypnotic.

Marissa, if you're so anti-commercial why do you have such a preoccupation with becoming famous?

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

its the cruel comerical world we live in that made me do it

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

commerical XPOST

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

maybe she means chimerical and this is all just a big misunderstanding

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:10 (seventeen years ago) link

Marissa, (not to pester or anything..)

What do you think about the ILM 'various artists' compilation?

The deal is, each person contributes one track, and gets a copy of the CD with everyones tracks on it.

You may find it interesting...

Heck, we could send you one anyway!

― Mark G, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:12 (seventeen years ago) link

Okay, from what I can see (this is based on what little I have searched and found) this person seems to be a mess. I, for one, refuse to take joy in poking her with a stick. She will be in coventry and I hope she gets help.

― NYCNative, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

she doesn't actually read other people's posts, does she?

(I feel like a couple of doctors talking about a patient like they're not there)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

there is nothing wrong with commericalism if it promotes quality and things that inspire people and things that bring joy to people's lives...
when it fails to do this...then it is wrong to want to be famous, just to be hip cool and rich...
I want to be famous for the right reasons...

My music is beautiful.
if it sounds bad, I do it over...
and over again, untill it is pleasing and something is very high quality...

If I had no talent, I would not try to be famous.....
like so many people, who's only goal is to be famous...

I want to inspire many people with high standards....and bring beauty and life into the world...
music is so uplifting..and so inspiring...It can be...
it is very important to our culture...

― the real marissa, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:14 (seventeen years ago) link

But you realize that when you become famous you will be commercial. Having a large boundary-crossing audience (which is quite an admirable goal!) is very nearly what it means to be commercial. I'm not engaging in any "stick-poking" here, friends, I'm trying to understand exactly what Marissa means.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:17 (seventeen years ago) link

it's not worth it hoosteen, srsly.

― M@tt He1ges0n, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

gaze not into the abyss

(except to check for spelling errors)

― Shakey Mo Collier, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:18 (seventeen years ago) link

Why do you expect rational discourse with the irrational?

― NYCNative, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:19 (seventeen years ago) link

But you realize that ~~when~~ if you become famous you will be commercial

― Drooone, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:24 (seventeen years ago) link

All right, I'll drop it, it just seemed like there was no middle ground between the aforementioned "stick poking" and pretend-she-isn't-here.

― BIG HOOS aka the steendriver, Tuesday, 13 March 2007 23:34 (seventeen years ago) link

I don't know that there is.

― NYCNative, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 00:26 (seventeen years ago) link

She never us

― onimo, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 00:42 (seventeen years ago) link

OK, folks, I have one last message from herself, she asked me to pass this on. This was in response to a request for a track for the ILX Vol 3 compilation. So, I guess this is the final closure so for one last time, go 'head Ms M.

I appreciate the interest mark....but this evil board is filled with neysayers...such as people claiming that they know I am messed up from googling me....
and that I need professional help....
they want my reputation to be that....that I am crazy and messed up.

i have been banned from ixl....
please send them a note....thankyou.....
I have nothing against you really, but there are many people who have alot of talent that you can enjoy, you don't need me...
you can live happily without my music..I am sure of it.
ahahhaah
This Joachim guy worked for the entertainment industry, and was snotty the day I met him, acting as if I am beneathe him and he is still doing this on the net....
He is very arrogant and always looking for something wrong with me...
he has harassed my phone in real life and not a nice man..so it seems.
Please let them know, someone was posing as the real me on the net and I have never been interested in Bela Fleck and never thought he was interested in me...and never wanted him to be...
My life is not a mess....
i have not been on the net insulting people for two years...
or trying not..I have focused on people that i enjoy...and music that I enjoy and spending my time encouring people...
I am very upbeat about my life...and not in need of help...
I go to school...and graduating in a few months and have excesssive goals and work to do....
I couldn't be that messed up...singing live ...which I am doing...
going to school..and finishing my recordings...
let them find another scapegoat...
I am highly productive and don't have time for this board...
at all....this morning, I am waiting for important mail...I am receiving a new computer...
life is a struggling, but doing well...hope you are all productive and enjoying the many talented people on the net...who are obscure of from different cultures...
you have to spend time looking and not just punching in pop/rock...
you have to do research to find good music...and explore with an opened mind..and you will much joy there....thankyou, p.s... please post this on the board ..since i can not..

how dreadfully histrionic.

― Drooone, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:39 (seventeen years ago) link

I was initially excited about her return, but now I just find her immensely obnoxious and boring to boot. I actually liked her music. It's too bad. I guess I never her.

― Hurting 2, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:46 (seventeen years ago) link

what would natalie merchant do?!?

― Eisbaer, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 21:51 (seventeen years ago) link

well,
good luck finding good music to listen to ...there is alot out there...

― marissa, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 22:16 (seventeen years ago) link

to avoid being obnoxious, I will refrain from telling you my deepest thoughts.
I will give you one line answers...in a monotone voice, no emotion....
I will say yes yes yes and keep the status quo.....

a good little zoombified citizen.

It is amazing .that during dinner..
I found out that someone is saying that I married some guy I have never met...
on a message board. this has happened before, when someone is announcing that I have gotten married to man I don't know...
just like Bela, I never wanted anything to do with this guy.
After two years, I am getting my jollies seeing how desperately bored people are, and using this name...as if it is fun for them....spooky

how sick can you get?

― marissa, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 22:22 (seventeen years ago) link

they let up the ban...this was about eight words...ooooopppss...
this wasn't monotonious enough was it?

I guess I will have to get in the closet again with headphones and listen to more tapes about patriotism, hot dogs, banjos, apple pie...and english domination...
sorry....
I am sorry...
I will get back in the closet...
I will change my name to Smith....

― marissa, Wednesday, 14 March 2007 22:25 (seventeen years ago) link

Not only that ...I will change my name to Smith and dye my hair arian blond...since it is so popularity .....
and perhaps get the blue contact lenses..my eyes are green and not arian enough...

if you want to be a major star...you have to be blond...and have blue eyes...
otherwise the longevity isn't possible...

I am so sorry I didn't wave the flags enough when I got on IXL....

I need to remember to follow like sheep.....
and put the blindfolds on....
and put the headphones on in the closet for days without food.....untill I get the message......

sex sells....brains don't....
don't think....
let us think for you.............................zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
