The Gender Gap in Music

I don’t think there is a gender gap
but then again I read Wire
that makes a genuine effort to acknowledge femme contribution
including the pioneers

and, having listened, I think Jlin, Moor Mother & Holly Herndon in particular,
deserve the attention.

tru(hed)story:

I recently met the person who taught Herndon how to use Ableton (through Knobgoblin.)

not brilliant but cool

“When I DJ and when I produce, I play around with conceptions about how things are supposed to be,” Blom says of her process today. “The worst kind of music is the kind that doesn’t affect me at all. I’d rather listen to something really awful—something that makes me feel disgust—than listen to some really plain house music, for instance. I can’t stand that because it’s just like, I don’t feel anything.”

Wondering whether she’d consider the kind of house music I’m into plain

Then deciding not to give a fuck because tastes

Yeah. You can’t please everybody. And people who are into/not into things are often so for very different personal reasons.

I think my house allergy comes from a really short attention span tbh.

Do I have to read this to acknowledge the ascent of our mistresses?
If a uniquely insightful voice happens to be female,
so be it.

Is Justin Bieber a girl, guy or reptillian? It listens to cool music but makes bad music that’s all I know. Kinda like em in em. He listens to dnb and stuff but his music sorta sucks

Not ava. in the US yet, might have to VPN this one.

I know someone who knows Laurie Spiegel and tried to arrange an intro when I was last in NYC, but apparently she’s still quite busy. Woulda been cool.
