Being sexy to sell records is cheap, but if sexiness is an important part of your artistic product, part of the audience's experience, then it's a very different matter. But it's all too easy to fall uncritically under the "male gaze" that has helped create the huge gender inequalities of many centuries. <br /><br />I still find the "outer shell" idea from your website in opposition to your public image. <br /><br />If this is really Tina: as for the music video, <I>awesome</I>. Make the men take their clothes off for once.<br /><br />Also if this is the real Tina: I'd be interested to read your thoughts on the entertainment value of, for example, metal versus cello concerti; if there is a difference; if you see music as purely entertainment or perhaps something more; blah blah blah... (As someone who makes chamber music and dance music side by side, these are questions I constantly ponder.)Mr. Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773147184266250257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23711827.post-77109996158065660502009-04-17T14:55:00.000-04:002009-04-17T14:55:00.000-04:00You guys are all silly.

Be on the lookout for my music video for my metal version of "Flight of the Bumble Bee." There will be some interesting scenes that you may be so inclined to write about. It includes a dark cave, honey, and 100 naked men :)<br /><br />-tinaUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06704631263634915479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23711827.post-34522425159342606282009-04-04T12:55:00.000-04:002009-04-04T12:55:00.000-04:00To "Anonymous":Point taken.

But until then, I'm happy to read feminist theory and apply it to the images and text that artists offer voluntarily on their websites. This blog is clearly not objective or forensic, and in this post I presented numerous possible analyses of her image choices, posed as questions, acknowledging that I do not know the answers.Mr. Baconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07773147184266250257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23711827.post-64349615789445118462009-04-03T20:23:00.000-04:002009-04-03T20:23:00.000-04:00Perhaps you might consider contacting Tuna Guo and...Perhaps you might consider contacting Tuna Guo and posing your questions to her directly. Were you to do so, you would at least have some sort of information with which to formulate an informed opinion, rather than simply a neat and tidy pontification, whose intellectual symmetry is unmarred by any pesky facts.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23711827.post-12206320173373628522008-04-03T02:30:00.000-04:002008-04-03T02:30:00.000-04:00i have a feeling you only made this blog post to u...i have a feeling you only made this blog post to uncritically discursively reproduce the violence against women perpetrated by the white male gaze. also pictures of naked ladies are totally hot YOU understand what musicology blogs are really about. plus also the music on your myspace page rocked.<BR/><BR/>scopophilically yours,<BR/><BR/>PHpHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04416653941450878803noreply@blogger.com
