...Andrea Parker, Riz Maslen... A couple of months ago there was a voluntary self-survey on Kraftwerk-l, and it started the longest thread I saw on my six months there when it turned out that every respondent was a guy. The ensuing musicogenderal search for reasons was rendered even more poignant by the absence of female shout-outs or hand raising posts. Not a few regressed into stories of their conflicts with past girlfriends. This was so depressing to read about for like, a solid week that I had to unsubscribe. eric
