Hmm interesting points. When I go record shopping, I just keep to myself and if some guy tries to sell me something, I'll just say, "ok" and continue going thru the bins as if he didn't say anything. I know what I like/want and I rather look for it myself. At the same time, there's nothing sexier to a guy when you ask them to bring down a hot techno record from the the wall that you can't reach. They remember these things. =)
One time I met a guy who said that he recognized me because he remembered a certain techno record I bought. Funny thing is, he didn't even work at the record store. He was there shopping I guess and saw me buy it. As for hard, minimal techno? I think females's interests are broader so we might like something, lose interest and perhaps come back to it. That's what's happening to me with hard, banging, minimal techno. And Marco Carola did it. He helped restore that love back. He's amazing. :::swoon::: _g l y p h_ In a message dated 6/20/00 1:00:32 PM, [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes: >it has happened to me so many times, that i walk into a record store, ask >if >they have some new release i am waiting for, only to hear, "we don't have >that >on cd, only on vinyl." > >finally once i responded: "what, do you think just because i'm a chick >i can't >be a dj?" > >it's a pain. but i have found that once people know who you are, the >discrimination is gone. i get the respect i deserve from those who know. > >as far a hard and minimal techno female fans go, i think there are fewer >than >males because of the aggressiveness of the music. i was really into hard >minimal stuff a few years ago, but now i pop in a mixtape and it's too >hard for >me... maybe i'm just getting old, but i always have associated that music >with >testosterone... > >i will always show up to hear a live hard techno dj though... that shit >i always >get into.. > >peace, >holly
