The girls here have no situational awareness whatsoever. This isn’t that different in coffee shops or restaurants. I am sure that if I sat next to a girl on a bus or metro for a 30 minute ride, she would not be able to identify me in a line-up a minute after I get off. They literally never look up, even though this is the city where you have all the reasons to look around, due to its pedestrian friendly environment, natural beauty, and plenty of opportunities for people watching. The women here are more glued to their smartphones than anywhere else. Standing an hour in line to get a seat at the latest trendy, overrated restaurant, won’t deter anyone, despite how many restaurant options there might be around with no lines. The hobbies among women are also remarkable similar: most girls do yoga, spin classes, run marathons, and go to baseball games not because that’s what they really like to do, but because everyone else is doing it. Lulu Lemon is not fashion here it’s a clan. Herd Mentality is RampantĮvery girl does the same thing for a living (recruiting or marketing) and wears exactly the same clothes-yoga pants, bright Nike shoes, sunglasses, iPhone in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. You will see both attractive and extremely unattractive women act like they are God’s gift, because they went to a top school and have good jobs, and they have been brainwashed into believing that being overconfident and acting like a man is the right way to be in order to make it here. The highest cost of living in the nation creates a swim-or-sink economy and mentality, where women become as aggressive about their jobs, finances and survival as guys are. There is a price to be paid for eighteen-hour work days at the Silicon Valley start-ups, and that price is developing a scarier man-jaw than you would find anywhere else. You won’t find a place where women sacrifice more time and energy trying to prove that they can do whatever a man can, and that they can achieve the same corporate ranks, make the same amount of money, and have the same lifestyle as men – from sex life to the intensity of work outs. It Is The Epicenter Of Careerist Feminism Here are several major reasons why you can safely skip gaming in San Francisco from a nearly 17-year resident of this city: 1. And Lambchop's playful sense is all over "The Concept," a thundering dance track that's built around samples from an old Buddy Hackett comedy routine it's anyone's guess how Wagner was inspired to fuse Hackett and a pounding bass pulse, but like nearly everything on The Diet, it's a digital landscape where a very human pulsebeat lurks below the surface, and HeCTA's debut is an experiment that works remarkably well on its own terms.For a while I have been wondering why ROK hasn’t written much about San Francisco and its women. That said, while it's hard to imagine this is Kurt Wagner's work on first listen, after a few spins one can pick out his melodic sense in the slow drift of "Like You're Worth It," the pulsating pop hook of "Sympathy for the Auto Industry," the sweep of the strings on "Give Us Your Names," and the finger snaps skating over horn samples on "We Are Glistening." And when Wagner's murky but very human vocals rise up, it has very much the same grounding effect as they do on Lambchop's recordings, despite the dramatically different surroundings. The Diet isn't a Kurt Wagner album with an electronic influence, it's the debut of an electronic group that just so happens to be led by the guy who fronts Lambchop (and also features two other members of the group, Scott Martin and Ryan Norris). But as for that list of electronic subgenres, Wagner is certainly taking his followers someplace they may not go of their own volition HeCTA's debut The Diet dives deep into electronic frameworks and textures, with the unrelenting pulse of sequencers pushing the songs forward as shimmering keyboard lines, deeply processed vocals, and distant-sounding instrumental samples dodge in and out of the mix. "Why would it be?" Well, after two decades of making records with his group Lambchop, it's no great shock that some of Wagner's fans would expect something resembling the graceful, willfully eccentric Southern chamber pop that's been his calling card, so the fact HeCTA is clearly not Americana might puzzle a few folks. "It's not Americana, house, techno, trap, juke, or blaze," Kurt Wagner wrote in a press release regarding his new project, HeCTA.
