On today's episode we talk about nepo-siblings. Who are they? And what creates a power imbalance? Nepo-siblings are a rare breed. Being a nepo-sibling pair relies on talent from both siblings – what level of talent separates each sibling we’ll get into in today's ep. It also relies on a hustle from the “lesser” famous sibling – putting themselves on reality shows, trapping themselves in an elevator, and lip syncing on SNL.  Join us for a discussion on three sets of siblings (Ariana/Frankie, Beyonce/Solange, & Jessica/Ashlee). Links mentioned: Frankie and Ariana Grande's "Seasons of Love" ⁠Interview between Beyoncé and Solange⁠ ⁠Plastic Off the Sofa/Cranes in the Sky Mashup⁠ ⁠Our guest spot on the "And Introducing" podcast covering Jessica Simpson's Autobiography Our episode about Avril Lavigne Ashlee and Jessica Simpson sing "Little Drummer Boy"⁠ Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!  Make sure to follow us on insta: instagram.com/listentothebsides and join us on discord here.  Consider joining us on Patreon!

There are moments in pop culture where an artist makes a choice - and there’s no turning back. Those moments, those inflection points, remind us that nothing is inevitable or predetermined, and we are all a part of history. Join us to unpack 4 inflection points in detail and name a buncha others.  Here are some links we mentioned: Our episode about The Chicks  Hannah’s 2018 newsletter about Miley Cyrus  “Mariah Carey’s Glitter Era deserved better”  Our episodes where we unpacked Glitter a bit more, “Artflop and Glitter Bomb” and “What’s in a Feud”  Video of Michelle Williams falling and Beyonce and Kelly not caring  Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!  Make sure to follow us on insta: instagram.com/listentothebsides and join us on discord here.  You can now leave us a voicemail!

So sorry, but: Why'd she have to go and make things so complicated?  Avril is such a rare artist. She made a splash right away with Let Go, which had a rebellious yet old soul sort of vibe to it. And her early eras and albums are still so special to so many of us. She changed the moment, she was the moment, and, in some ways, she always will be. She opened doors almost immediately into 2000s alt rock and pop punk sub-genres in what used to be a far more monocultural world. And yet, she hasn't evolved much herself as an artist over the last two decades. Instead, she regressed in some ways — at least from what we can see and hear and understand. The chaotically cool poetry in motion of Avril's Let Go and Under My Skin eras — the lyrics, sound, music videos, live performances, and core of who we thought she was — dwindled into something else later on. Her trajectory as an artist brings up all sorts of questions. Questions about what artists can mean to us at a formative age; the validity of our expectations of them, consciously or not, as we all grow up; ageism, misogyny, the idea of a sellout and a label’s role in that; what makes a good gateway artist; what makes a good post-9/11 cultural void artist; what makes a conspiracy theory take off; can someone ever be cool again after marrying and divorcing the lead singer of Nickelback, even if she married and divorced the lead singer of Sum 41 first; and more. Join us as we pull on some of these threads...

First thing's first: Go birds; E-A-G-L-E-S; and Fly, Eagles, Fly.  Whew, okay. Here we find ourselves again at the intersection of music and sports. We're getting into the NFL's dreadful politics, we're gabbing about the iconic Super Bowl halftime shows of yore, we're speculating not-so-wildly about Rihanna's upcoming performance, and so much more. Here in the show notes, we're also correcting the record: Lady Gaga *caught* the football at the end of her 2017 halftime show. Good for her. And if you're wondering why this note is here, listen on!

It's September 4, 2002. You're ten years old. You're huddled around your parents' TV, quickly dialing on your landline for vote for Kelly Clarkson. She is crowned the winner of American Idol. Hot tears are falling out your eyes. Kelly is belting a moment like this. You're wondering if like will ever be the same (it won't). On today's podcast, we're talking about the one and only, Kelly Clarkson. We discuss how she's managed to stay America's golden girl, the men who have tried to f*ck her over, and her evolving style (fedora hat and all). We hope you'll break away from your daily life and see what's behind those hazel eyes.  Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!

Today we’re going to talk about Taylor Swift. We know it’s not ethical to speculate on celebrities’ sexualities. But it feels so intoxicating - and in some moments, righteous - to speculate on Taylor Swift’s personal life, especially when she invites deep speculation into her discography and all the text she puts out into the world. What’s a progressive to do? We’ll tackle this in four parts: Part 1: Why it is actually harmful to speculate about anyone’s sexuality Part 2: Taylor’s own history on this issue and what her easter eggs have done to melt our brains Part 3: Some history, including the history of closeted celebs and open secrets Part 4: Trying to land on some actual truths about Taylor Then we’ll end with our new favorite segment, what are you listening to? Here was the syllabus for this episode, which we dropped a few days in advance in our discord group: https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1rE33nMNB8twCdPLVQudM4kN0N5gv7UnnYQfYy0t3ObI/edit#slide=id.g3b692fe12f_0_0 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hp3XS0q06Wk especially minute 2:50 https://www.teenvogue.com/story/the-danger-with-speculating-someones-sexual-identity Extra credit: an episode of taydar pod.

On today’s episode we’re going to talk about the elusive and enduring genre of music that is Christian Rock. How did it happen? Why do we (as Jews) like the sound of Christian Rock? Why do some bands “pretend” not to be as Christian as they are? We'll discuss all this and more, plus play a game called "is this Christian Rock or White Christian Men singing?" We also dive into Adele's new album 30, and of course, Red (Taylor's Version).  Join our discord to keep the conversation going: https://discord.gg/DCy4cTnue9 Other works cited: https://forward.com/culture/405510/is-it-kosher-for-a-jew-to-love-gospel-music/ https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2018/09/24/the-unlikely-endurance-of-christian-rock https://slate.com/culture/2007/07/the-freaky-origins-of-christian-rock.html https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/music/story/2021-10-05/jesus-music-calvary-church-contemporary-christian-documentary https://www.crossrhythms.co.uk/articles/music/Red_Jumpsuit_Apparatus_The_13_year_history_of_Christian_rock_band_survivors/58169/p1/ Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!

With her 2017 album Witness, Katy Perry invented the genre of “purposeful pop” more as a tool for relevance in her album promotion than an actual political analysis, which hurt both the political agenda she was pushing and the album itself. We think you’ll enjoy this episode whether or not you know the album (and spoiler: even some of the most ardent pop listeners don’t know this album!). This episode continues the conversation we began in episode 40. You don’t need to listen to episode 40 first, but feel free to! This episode contains four parts: Part 1: Witness Overview Part 2: 2017 Music and Politics Context - 21:17 Part 3: “Purposeful Pop” throughout history - 30:26 Part 4: The result - 54:05 And introducing a new segment: What are you listening to? - 1:01:45 Here was the syllabus for this episode. Feel free to follow along: Read this piece in Vox Read this piece in the NY Times Listen to these songs from Witness: Hey Hey Hey, Miss You More, Save as Draft, Bigger than Me. TBH listen to as much as you can stomach.

This week, we return to flophood but with a Halloweentown twist. Because the flop eras we’re talking about this episode involve artists who felt compelled to enter eras and try on identities that are aesthetically creepy, at the very least. We dare you to take a side-by-side look at the cover art for Christina Aguilera's Bionic and Katy Perry's Witness... But the larger story here is about what happens when a pop star reinvents themselves for a new era of their career and, instead of a natural evolution or next step, it seems forced and goes badly. After all, reinvention is a double-edged sword: it can really elevate an artist’s career, help them grow and express themselves in new ways, and even change the direction of pop music, but it can also usher them into flophood. There are a lot of variables at play that can determine whether or not these pivots are successful, but often there’s just sort of an “it” factor of like...does it seem genuine? And then we have to ask why or why not... We'll also touch on Madonna's role in setting the tone for reinvention and what it means to be a dynamic, longstanding pop star. Xtina + Bionic starts at: 6:40, Katy Perry + Witness starts at: 46:00 ish There were two sort of obscure clips we discussed in this episode: here's Xtina's Bionic interview and Katy Perry's Part of Me doc (~2:30) Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!

On today's podcast we are joined by musical expert Jon Schneidman. Together we do a deep dive into Dear Evan Hansen, the recent musical turned movie, that may or may not have ruined Ben Platt's career. We explore white mediocrity in film vs stage, autistic coding, and nepotism. Maybe, after you listen, you'll be found. TW: this episode talks about suicide as it relates to the plot of DEH.

38. ARTFlop and GlitterBomb

38. ARTFlop and GlitterBomb

2021-09-2901:29:02

What’s in a flop? On today’s episode, we look at moments that “flopped” through a more critical lens to discuss why albums flop, what happens when a “flop” is not really a “flop,” and how the cultural void of the early aughts fits in to this. We’ll do that by examining two seminal texts - ARTPOP by Lady Gaga (2013) and Glitter by Mariah Carey (2001). So excited to announce the creation of our discord space, which you can join here: https://discord.gg/8fA4Wqcqkp And - THE GRITTY T-SHIRTS ARE HERE!

37. What's in a Feud?

37. What's in a Feud?

2021-09-1501:10:30

In today's episode, we're trying to figure it out. Looking at the facts of a feud itself and how stories about it unfold can tell us a lot about power dynamics in the industry, who gets empathy and who doesn’t, and also? Talking about drama can be fun. The word "feud" seems to hold a lot of weight and draws people’s attention (again, drama is fun) but it often makes the actual circumstances seem far more superficial and balanced than they really are.  We each came to the table with a so-called feud we’d like to get into - but at a distance, from the safety of our podcast’s virtual space. Here are the feuds (?) we're looking at today: Mariah Carey vs. Jennifer Lopez (5:00ish) Lea Michele vs. the cast of Glee (22:30 ish) Ariana Grande vs. Victoria Justice (45:50 ish) Join us as we explore questions like: Can it be a feud if they’ve never spoken to each other directly? Can it be a feud if the playing field is so uneven? Can it be a feud if it’s actually just people in power being monsters to people who aren’t in power and can’t control the situation or the narrative? Thank you for subscribing and leaving a review!

When done well, a soundtrack can do so much for a show, audience, and featured artists - it enriches and even memorializes scenes, tells us how we’re supposed to feel and introduces artists and audiences to each other. And no one did it better than some of our fave shows from the 2000s: Grey’s Anatomy, the OC, and Gossip Girl. Grey's Anatomy: 6:50ish The OC: 31:10ish Gossip Girl: 50minish Some enjoyable links from today’s episode: Grey's musical episode and its oral history.

If you read the title of this episode then you know it's time to take a seat and buckle up. Today we're going in on a long-awaited topic, but also an undercurrent of a lot of our episodes and conversations, and that is...GirlBoss culture and its intersections with pop music.  What is GirlBoss really? What does it pretend to be? Where did this term come from? And mirror mirror on the wall, which pop songs are most GirlBoss of all? We'll assess some hits by some faves: from Taylor Swift to Arethra Franklin, from Ciara to Xtina Aguilera. We're also discussing the latest on Britney Spears' conservatorship after her June 23 direct appeal. After all, the trajectory of Britney's life and career involved very hard work under a system that technically made her financially successful and the biggest pop star to ever exist, but also mistreated her to no end for profit and has done so with increasingly intensifying forms of exploitation. And nothing exposes the sham of GirlBoss philosophy quite like that. This episode is brought to you by JK Zine!  JK Zine is digitally published by B Milder in Brooklyn, New York.
