Typical Girls: Women in Punk/Post-Punk/Underground Music (Circa 1975-1980s)

[Joly MacFie <joly AT punkcast.com>]

"I wrote "they create their own formalistic, aesthetic universe with
its own internal logic. They don't sound like they are following
anyone's rules at all. They sound like they are listening to
themselves and each other and creating their own musical language.”

People not infrequently ask me what music I listen to/like to shoot
these days, and I always respond that it's mostly made by females.
They say, well obviously better looking, eh, and I say, well perhaps
but more because it's just interesting musically. Why's that they ask,
and I say I dunno, I guess women play more on their own terms, more
intuitively, experiment more. Ah, is the response. And I know that I
haven't really put it too well. Tobi's words above are what I wished
I'd be able to say on such occasions.
