Topic: Anamanaguchi in Manchester - Anyone got Tickets? (4 replies, posted in General Discussion)
Hey! Dudes! Anamanaguchi are playing in Manchester, the very place I live in, tomorrow night. Like a tool, I forgot to book tickets and now they're sold out. So, as a last ditch effort, here I am.
If any of you know someone who no longer wants their ticket, for whatever reason, or can somehow get me into this gig without a ticket (I'm happy to pretend I'm one of the band members' brother/hairdresser/secret lover if that'll help), let me know! Two tickets would be the ultimate ideal, since I have a buddy who also wants to go.
Cheers!
Mods, feel free to move this to another forum if it's not in the right place.

The guy's a classic attention seeker. Ignore the sh*t out of him and he'll go away.

Haha I'm sure they're empty threats. Having said that, if they're enough to make our pal here look over his shoulder a bit in the coming months, then all the better.

This is some unforgivable stuff going on here. What kind of effort to get stuff removed do you call this? If he was that full of remorse he damn well would have paid to have the music taken down. That's the absolute least he should do, but obviously he'll only retract his idiotic actions if it's FREE to do so. Paying money would be way too much to ask to right some of the wrongs he's made, clearly.
This guy wasn't just an asshat in 2010, he's been a continuous dick ever since then by not making every effort possible to correct this situation.

Knowing my own work, I doubt that's the case…then again, I do have some original sounding trax…
In any case, the tea bit is spectacular advice.
On topic, though, this whole thing is super, crazy unbelievable, I think. It offends me that much more because the chiptune scene is such an honest, often not-for-profit, passionate arena. And here comes this guy. The worst people I know wouldn't pull something like this. I hope the guy gets legally raped, and, as a result of some unrelated incident, gets his teeth kicked in.

There's a difference between hate and justified skepticism, my man 
But you won me over with that koala bear toilet paper picture so good luck with the FMYNTH action. I have to suggest picking a different name though. I know it's a portmanteau but like, mate. It sounds silly.

What books says about music genres:
"Among the criteria often used to classify musical genres are: the trichotomy of art, popular and traditional; time period; regional and national origins; technique and instrumentation; fusional origins; and social function."
I think that agrees with everyone other than you, bro They've listed loads of things that are used to classify genres, and nowhere does it say that only ONE of those criteria are used. Not to mention it says "among the criteria..." which means there are more, including rhythmic features, percussion style, typical tempo, etc etc. I think the point is that most, if not all, of these things should be used to classify a genre. It pretty much highlights why using just ONE criteria (criterium?) is a bad idea.

None of the 'instrumentation genres' you mentioned require any particular instrument to be that genre. Not every dubstep track has a bass wobble, and much less than 90% use Massive. Putting the rule "There must be at least one instrument (in main ambient melody) using FM synthesis" onto a genre seems very strange to me.
Genres are funny hazy things that materialise when they need to. Manufacturing one just seems crazy.

Perhaps the organization of this collab should itself be a collab? Collabcepti... NO! I swore I'd never use that joke about anything.
