2009 has been billed by those in the know as the year of the female synth-pop explosion. (That's a pretty good name for a band right there; "Ladies and gentleman, let me welcome to the stage...Female Synth-pop Explosion!").

Well, here at Musick we like to be gender neutral at all times. You could say we're asexual, musically speaking.

Maybe, just maybe, we can start appreciating music without gender barriers. Fingers crossed dear reader, fingers crossed.
