harryy Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 NME have announced the end of their print-editons , looks like we have a reason for the lack of them sponsoring the Radio 1 tent at RnL. Sad times for such a big magazine. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Martini Police Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Given this is where I saw the gender debate kicking off the most, it seemed the most suitable place to post this: http://smirnoffequalizer.com/ It's a tool to show you what % of your Spotify streams are by male vs female artists and to promote female artists. http://www.thedrum.com/news/2018/03/02/marketing-s-changemakers-smirnoff-rolls-out-equalizer-tool-spotify-promote-women Interesting idea.

It'd be an interesting idea if it worked. At least for the promoting women side, because the personalised playlist it made for me was way, way off. Weirdly it had one Stone Sour song then the rest was Ellie Goulding and Craig David and stuff. I find that fucking weird because I don't even listen to Stone Sour but it must've known I'm a rock fan for including them so what the fuck was the rest of the playlist?

Guest Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Mine was something like 96% male which I can't believe is correct either. Just did a quick check of the playlist I've been listening to most recently and that's just over 25% female.

Steve1000 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I got 6% female. Is that 6% of the artists I listen to have a woman, or that 6% of the total band members I listen to are female? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine told me 90% men and 10% women then offered me an equaliser playlist where the first four songs were by The Killers, Panic! at the Disco, some Sanchez bloke and Pharell.

At least they did when I read it back in like 2011/2012. Has it changed that much? 51 minutes ago, SomeoneListeningIn said: Mine was something like 96% male which I can't believe is correct either.

I'm assuming it's talking total band members so a female-fronted four-piece with the rest of the band being male only actually counts for 25%. 46 minutes ago, Steve1000 said: I got 6% female.

Steve1000 Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 (edited) Also, is it amount of time spent listening to females or percentage of acts you've listened to in the past 3 months or whatever that have a female?

Don't heavily read NME but they're the first proper small band I've noticed on the cover from following their social media and in stores, but I'm sure they defo aren't the first new/small band to get a big feature, especially when the zine was actually good.

dentalplan Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 Yeah NME used to have really small new bands on the cover all the time. Especially across the 2000's when there was a newly hyped act every week. I'd hardly call Shame small either compared to the likes of Palma Violets, The Vaccines and Viva Brother who were plastered across the front page as the 'saviours of rock music' with one or two songs to their name - Shame are mid-main stage at Reading and Leeds now.

What about the bored looking female multi-instrumentalist who tours with Front Bottoms? Does that mean that Front Bottoms count as having a female member? Might boost my percentage if they do count as there's no Pvris or Paramore to help the female percentage in my playlist.Haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huckleberry Finn Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 This might be of interest to Leeds attendees. Live at Leeds will have a ‘Leeds Festival’ stage this year, with The Vaccines headlining. Presumably this will work as a showcase for the acts that are playing both festivals, ahead of the August event. The likes of The Horrors, Night Cafe and Pale Waves - among others - have been announced for both so you might expect them to appear too. Interesting move from the festival and tells you all you need to know about their desperation to attract people that they’re willing to use a much smaller event to promote their product. Remember them doing it after Glastonbury last year, but this is a complete change-up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KingPin Posted March 7, 2018 Report Share Posted March 7, 2018 I did the thing, but it just played a video and did a loading thing to 100% (which can't be right because of Paramore, PVRIS and Pale Waves to name a few) and then never gave me a playlist :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lukie74 Posted March 8, 2018 Report Share Posted March 8, 2018 If Jaws were to be booked where do people reckon they'd play? See I can see them perhaps subbing FR or low nme but I think they're a lot bigger here in Birmingham than elsewhere by looking at their placements at small festivals they're playing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
