Re: [microsound] women in electronic music

[caleb.k@xxxxxxxxxxxx]

i am going to open myself up to sever flaming but  this thread has 
got to be one of the most pointless lists of names.
     what is the point of simply listing a bunch of names (be they 
female, male, gay, three-legged) with no explanation of who they are, 
what they do, why they are included.
     the thread seemed to be directed at women in *electronic* music 
and includes an array of names from all over the place...some are 
really pushing it Meiko Shiomi,for example, electronic music >>  come 
on. what piece?   also simply a first or last name ? (in the case of 
the japanese artists this isn't so clear cut)

maybe we could all think of an original name each and and then  list 
them. that will make it real easy as then we don't have to think when 
someone complains about a lack of women in electronic music as we can 
simply send them the list of 200 odd names (hopefully they won't look 
too close or ask what any of them do or why they were included).

   negative criticism this maybe but come on can't the list go 
further than this.
