It's easy: women dance around handbags, men can't.
...and now to add to the gender definition industry.
How we listen!
How do we listen?
According to Lesley Douglas, BBC6 head of music and a crack team of pointer-outers with super eyes, it boils down into two main camps -
MEN: Nerding over the producers suicide halfway through recording, compulsively collecting every last 7 inch where the word "bless" is used, etc. That is to say that men enjoy the overall stuff around a song and get enjoyment from the trivia. Reminds me of Losing My Edge by LCD Soundsystem - you know the one with the green label and the lightning bolt and Tim Sweeney and Yoko Ono kissing dogs in the background..... shit! I did it again.
WOMEN: Being swept into floods of tears by Tori Amos then swung into a Lambrini induced hysteria by um...Take That, Tom Jones, Girls Aloud (well you never know)... Emotional creatures at the mercy of cruel musicians who take them to the edge of ecstasy only for Stuart McConie to talk over the final seconds. Who enjoy each song without the baggage of whether they died in a plane or once supported their family by selling crack.
So for your own gender labeling please take a minute to take our test.
Are you a man or a women eh?
1) Kraftwerk or Joni Mitchell
2) Bannanarama or Nick Kershaw?
3) Debussy or Wagner
Now, bearing in mind you may not prefer either or like both. In this case i advise a peek down your front. Answers in the comment section.
As ever thanks to the Laura Barton at the Guardian for the article which inspired this little experiment.
