Pink iPod and girl uninterrupted interviewed each other, as two freelance music journalists. Below are a few extracts, in Pink iPod’s own words. In girl uninterrupted’s words, Pink iPod is curious, genderless, nostalgic and perceptive.
The name comes from one of my first memories of music, in my room when I was five, and I think I had stolen my mom’s iPod.
I created the blog for a coding class and my website was due, so I quickly had to choose a name and this one felt right.
I don’t want my work to be feminine but I don’t want it not to be, in a sense. Probably why I gender my writing persona as “they”. I love pop, I love colors, I love joy, and the iPod represents that first and foremost.
I hope all the people who don’t conform can find a sweet spot in Pink iPod. I want to be the home where the friend group hangs out.
What I fall for in a record is a way of looking at the world. Attention. Care. The feeling that someone noticed something.
They are all so talented!
Everything starts with community; a friend helping you shoot a cover, free guitar classes at your local record store, a small article in the local journal.
It wasn’t supposed to be serious. I feel like it’s becoming serious and that’s probably a good thing.
I don’t want to feel like I’m on LinkedIn – I live for this, you know.
For the first song, it would be I Can’t Help But Wonder Where I’m Bound by Tom Paxton. It’s extremely special to me and a lot of my friends.
