I dunno a lot about QON but I defo wouldn't write them off just 'cos they're attractive! They're not young either, it's not like they just fell into the job. You don't get places just by being pretty. If you have nothing to back it up, then you're fucked.

Very True, but I tend to roll my eyes whenever they get mentioned and go off and listen to the Grates or whatever

 

[Carlow Punks!]

ha ha was waiting for that!

think this all this DJ talk is what's known as a "thread wind down" after the white heat of earlier. no harm either I guess.

 

[sweetoblivion]

*stretches*
*breathes out*
winding down indeed.

yeah but that's because all the big guns are just out in the garden having a smoke/pacing session and collecting together their thoughts for round two...

Best night I had DJing was at a conference party ages and ages ago, which was funny because I was concerned that I didn't have the right kind of music collection for a bunch of academics. I bought a few chart comps, then brought some more mainstream stuff I already had, and then a huge stack of stuff I really love. As it turned out, requests were for stuff I'd have wanted to play for myself, and there was a great feeling of PARTY TIME watching 45 year olds who'd been long out of the music scene bopping around to old punk tunes and all of us singing along like big nerds.

Djs are the standard bearers of the Artriarchy. Next time you see a DJ spit in their face and tell them that you will not be made the vomit bucket for the musical aristocracy.

 

[cephalopod]

Artriarchy?

 

[Vinnie]

Artriarchy?

Artriarchy

We are being thought controlled by a cotterie of pink champagne swilling gallery owners and charlie tooting record company executives. DJs are their dark apostles.

 

[cephalopod]

Glad you sorted that out for me. For a minute there I didn't know that what you actually meant was artriarchy, not artriarchy.

I have a headache now

Dont mind me. I'm just trying to send the thread off an a new tangent. I say a new tangent. Eeeeeeee by gum.

I'm just amazed that nobody noticed that Dave had his top off.

regarding the topic of women in electronic music:
delia derbyshire, elaine radigue and cosey fanni tutti were pioneers. the latters reclaiming of "pornography" as "artwork" was unique and may well be of interest to those interested in womens studies and/or performance art.
there is also a good diversity of female electronic music projects, from mira calyx through maja ratkje to hecate.
some compilations of contemporary female electronic musicians would be: women take back the noise 3CD set (ubuibi), girl monster 3CD set (chicks on speed records) and extreme music from women (susanlawly).

he's just a troll, don't let him get a rise out of you Cheryl!

you know I am no troll.

You may disagree with me, but I am not a troll.

 

[pelviscostello]

Sorry Jane if I don't reply to you immediately, but I am employed and therefore I can't spend all day on the internet arguing with people.

Funny though, you can.

There is no gender inequality in Ireland that women should be fighting against because gender inequality doesn't exist in my opinion.

As I stated before, I am not the only person who holds that view and I have cited a study done ny Accountancy Ireland earlier this year that reinforces my point of view.

I do not believe women are, or ever have been, victims of sexism in Irish music. I invite anyone to give me a example of this happening today.

I am not a troll because I simply choose not to validate you hopelessly erroneous views.

How about instead of being feminist, you become humanist? How about admitting that women are not especially victimized in Ireland. How about considering that many people, of both sexes, are raped and beaten everyday and that no sex over another is more victimized?

(name that was not your decision to list) you know I am no troll.

Pete, any way you could edit sweetoblivion's name out of this dickhead's post? This is just not on.

Cosi Fanni Tutti of Throbbing Gristle, only claimed it was art after the fact when it was convenient to do so and under the advice of Genesis P. Orridge.

OMG, are you this guy? http://www.geocities.com/kstremskyforpresidentusa/ My favourite presidential candidate ever?

Thanks for recommending humanism to me, but I think I'll stick to taking the advice of logical human beings who make sense.

You still didn't answer Pantone's question about the burning building, followed by the one with my amendments, and then followed by my one about the sinking ship.
