    so i come to this blog to visit links and i dont expect a new post at 1130pm (new zealand time) but there it is again. keeping me entertained in my small culture-less town. thank you.

    girls in bands are half a ‘i’ll give them a listen’ motovational thing…as girls are girls.

    most girls I know can’t stand girls in music. so maybe its for the males to get all googley eyed over?

    Dear Ryan….

    Please stop being an embarrassment to both hipsterrunoff and New Zealand!

    Um yes I love woman in bands. Its time that men share the love by having more females!

    It would be a nice thought to have a Female version of “Justice” rocking the ableton, or a fem version of DAFT PUNK!

    The world is yours ladies!

    funny.
    im really upset about scarlett though… I want her to have my children that I don’t want at all, but it’s so ridiculous she gets a chance to create and promote a recording project when she sounds like that
    she makes tha $$ so I guess she “deserves” it though

    Well, there is this one woman i Copenhagen.. Djuna Barnes - she is way cool and seems to be involved in pretty much everything on every club in Copenhagen. She is mostly a DJ, but she did help put together an amazing version of the sogn “Copenhagen” (with among others Trentemøller and Tomboy. It’s old, but amazing)

    apart from le tigre and MAYBE electrelane, there are absolutely zero examples of all-female bands that are worth more than 5 seconds of my time

    what else is there? the donnas and the fucking indigo girls?

    those are fucking stupid thoughts… good bands do good music because they´re talented, not because they´re men/women only or mixed.

    there are very few female vocalists that are worth my time, like kim gordon, siouxsie sioux. m.i.a. is annoying, santogold even more so, and uffie is a disgrace to women everywhere. the electro-banger genre will be dominated by french and australian men.

    i used to really be turned off by all-female bands because i figured it would turn me ghey. now though, most BNGRS have women at the lead and dudes doin the mixing so i am now comfortable w/ my sexuality.

    mixed gender brands do have a different personal brand, and yeh they may want to make musiq 2gether but dudes dont bring bitches into it w/o some good reasons.

    uffie looks like she accidentally got famous for no reason right before she became really ugly/addicted to drugs/food and now she wants out really really bad because all these people keep looking at her expecting her to make music that doesnt suck/be sorta hot and all she wants is to be some broad that bones someone on ed banger every once in a while.

    You forgot The Corrs. They have that one dude who is supposedly the ‘brother’ but probably bangs the shit out of them hot bishes behind closed doors.

    Hell, I’d take a chubby from him if it meant getting it on with The Corrs.

    you’ve just illustrated why smart women do not do mixed-gender projects, musical or otherwise. no matter what the woman is doing, the assumption will always be that she’s just there to give blowjobs to the guys in the group. when the sad reality is that if there is a mixed gender project, 10 times out of 10 the women will be the brains/drive behind everything.

    misogyny appears to be back in fashion though. go douchebags!!

    Wait, should we consider CSS “mixed gender” just because they have that one guy who actually looks brazilian?

    I mean, have you noticed, most of these mixed gender bands are also mixed race bands, but like, multiracial, not just biracial, it’s like latinas and white guys and black chicks and the occasional “I can’t really tell where he/she comes from” token character.

    What guy bands besides Bloc Party are interracial? Do the Black Eyed Peas count, given that they’ve always had that token female singer?

    Is the female factor the unity factor? Are the girls the ones that say “hey, let’s have a black chick in our band”? Or are the girls just the ones who actually are black? When CocoRosie added that black guy to do the beatbox with his mouth in their live show, did they specifically go for a black person? Did they not realyl care, and it just happened? Does it make them happy?

    I feel like talking in a series of questions makes me look like I’m ripping off Carles. FU, Carles didn’t invent questions, did he.

    I suppose I’m hoping Carles will answer all of my queztns in a future post.

    Also: Mixed race bands are composed mostly of interracial females + white boys. When you say “what if there’s a dude writing all the music so the chicks can sing it?”, are you ALSO being racist apart from sexist? I mea, if there’s two guys and they’re white, nd they’re the ones writing, what if one of the girls from THE GO TEAM hears this and goes “Is this because I’m blk/azn?” instead of “is this because I’m a wymn?”

    I think both topics go hand in hand.

    FINALLY: is it wrong to like LeTigre if you’re a lesbian? Is it too typical? Is it wrong to like The Presets if you’re gay? Are you conforming to beaten-down stereotypes of “gay music” like Depeche Mode? Oh, whoops, in the 80’s Depeche Mode wasn’t gay? But I guess that if you still like them then you MUST be, so the present kind of defeats the past.

    By bringing the gay, ghey, faggz etc. to the mix, am I taking the topic too srsly?

    pretty sure everyone took my comment the wrong way.

    some of my favourite bands, tegan & sara, nouvelle vauge, fleetwood mac . . have females playing quit vital parts in the band.

    my girls are girls comment wasn’t a personal opinion just a view on how maybe it gets others to listen to their band.

    i.e and the tegan & sara show in Auckland a few years back where most jocks showed up as it was at a uni bar becuase they heard they were lesbians.

    do i make any more sense now?

    who are you dream shades person?

    You’re right - rock music is one of the most misogynist forms of popular culture ever invented. Girls are put at a big disadvantage because guitar straps hurts their tits. That and the fact that guitars looks like big penises when you let them hang around your waist.

    I think for a woman to be taken really SRSLY as a rock artist you have to be a Chan Marshall/Cat Power type, someone who indisputably writes, sings, and performs their own material without anyone else’s help, and is good at it. But even then most people just want to stick it in her.

    who cares you freaks

    women are not a kind of music or a ‘valuable part’

    for goddamn fuck’s sake

    they are fucking people

    who you all seem to have all sorts of why-should-i-give-a-shit-i-just-wasted-3-seconds-of-my-time-reading comments and posts

    half of you are rude fuckheads and the other compromising pitiable fuckfaces

    women in music is good, if keep up cutting down the riff raff making crap music and up that to the 50% best of the men and 50% best of the women we might have better music

    having 90% men means 40$ more shit out there

    ps people that don’t listen to a band cause it’s got a ‘girl’ a lady a fucking whatever you shitheads say, in it, is fucking retarded

    why do you keep asking if the band’s have a male lead inside them, what kind of inane question is that

    do you care?

    does it make women suck?

    most likely there is some powermongering guy in there, but that doesn’t mean women don’t write great music

    citing britney spears is as lame as you, carles, could possibly get

    your research skills are flawed and unfortunate, as are you questions, thoughts, ideas, tastes, and words
