Crikey November already? If you want to chat but don’t want to do a full post do it here
How does an occasional music post around here sound? I don’t want to promise weekly or monthly or even that I’ll start right now but I’ve been listening to a lot of new (to me) music, particularly focussing on music with a woman’s voice (alternative / punk / metal to be specific). I’m also starting to see some pretty cool up and comers in my feeds. Itching to start sharing with people who are actually interested. Does this interest people around here?
A few months ago (on my original Blåhaj account), I posted elsewhere asking for suggestions on punk and heavy music with female vocalists. This is ended up starting a ball rolling for me, a new longer term fixation to keep me going for a few years in between the little obsessions lol.
Originally I was planning on doing on doing a post or two with a master list for people to refer to based on genre etc. I’d still like to do that but the more I discover and the more rabbit holes I go down, the longer term that idea is becoming. I also tend to get stuck on and obsessed with one or two bands or artists for a while, so it’s going to take time to really get through everything.
That’s a brilliant idea! We’d absolutely love it, goes right ahead
How often does someone assume you’re a man when talking on a phone? It happened to me yesterday, and I took it as a sign that I need to do my voice training practice more intensely. But it did make me wonder, how often does that happen to cis women?
ALL THE TIME. I have a deeper voice for a woman and often get called sir
Never to me but I have a high pitched voice, effeminate way of speaking and use girly phrases eg “oooooh sounds lovely!”. However I’ve got female friends who’ve been mistaken for male on the phone loads.
