Music and women…

13/3/2010

Procrastinating time, yay! Perfect time to write a post. Anyway, my music taste has developed from ‘random songs/pieces of music’ to anything that was played on Capital Gold from about the mid-’90s to now (notably the Beatles) in the last year or so. There’s a property about music that I’ve noticed that I think is in women, this is by no means an absolute for me, but I might be on to something…

Let me throw in a couple of examples, take these two versions of Let It Be:
I believe the first one was released, and the second was another take used in the Let It Be film. You should note that the first one has been through a lot of editing to add some sound effects, make sure all the voices sound immaculate and whatever while the second is kind of ‘raw’. Now, leaving the video aside, I prefer the second one. The same goes for Radio Ga Ga compared with the Live Aid live version:
The sort of perfection that these excellent musicians aim to achieve turns me off, but why? And why do I prefer live/raw versions where they struggle and can forget words? I think it’s because I find flawlessness plain, and I just like the small imperfections that bring these gods back down to Earth.

Where am I going with this? First, let me warn the 0.5 females that read this blog to go away for the remainder of this post, I don’t know what pisses them off but I better play it safe. Anyway, I think I can say the same about music for women (generally). Supermodels and celebrities just don’t give me the ‘boing’ downstairs as they do to my male counterparts; make up and photoshop just turns me off. To be honest, however, I think it’s a matter of beauty amplified by compatible personality, but to me beauty does not have to be high, it’s just the foundations for me to admire character (but I know less about women than I do about politics).
