“
It is amazing how many [women] there are, but I’m slightly uncomfortable when people use expressions like ‘the industry is saturated by female artists…
The whole of bloody history has been saturated by men for the last fucking however long! So don’t make it like we’ve suddenly appeared out of the woodwork - we were there already, it’s just that the business has decided to embrace talented women because they think they can sell us after years of boy indie bands staring at their trainers. So there are all different types of female musician now, are there? Well it’s funny, but there are lots of different types of women.

GUESTBREAKER: You’re A Tyrannical Music Snob
When you told me you like “all kinds of music” I was excited. Then we actually started listening to music together. The only sort of rap you listen to is performed by white guys with overalls and huge beards. You responded to my collection of Black Flag albums with the phrase “Oh, they’re cool. I listened to them in like, seventh grade.” You brag about your hojillion-squillion gigabytes of music, and go on to mention that you enjoy your 8 gig iPod because it lets you reduce your library to only the music you like. You won’t admit to enjoying Late Of The Pier because you had never heard of them before you met me. You actually care what type of MP3 player I use. You hate Sublime, and you like Death From Above 1979 WAY too much. I would make you a break up mix, but you’d be so busy not appreciating the music that you’d miss the message. I’m just going to throw every Pearl Jam album ever made on repeat until you get frustrated with trying to explain how much they suck, and remove yourself, your Beatles-themed tattoo, and your Bob Dylan purse from my apartment forever.A Guest Dealbreaker written by NIcholas.
