Episode Eleven: In Part Two of their take on the music industry, Dan, Beth, and Joe continue to delve into the battles between artists and their labels. This week, they enter the 21st century, and discuss 30 Seconds to Mars, Ke$ha, and and Taylor Swift (Beth’s personal hero. Or is she an Anti-Hero?).
Joe discusses how Jared Leto (aka Bartholomew Cubbins) and his band, 30 Seconds to Mars, essentially declared War upon EMI Records. After taking a few steps that were a little too Close(r) to the Edge, 30S2M went in for The Kill, and came out winners (although, if you ask Beth, Jared Leto is only winning in the looks department).
Dan delves into Ke$ha, who had her own experience with a Sleazy Backstabber – her producer. Dan documents the actions that sleazy mcsleazerson, allegedly, took against Ke$ha and the legal battles that emerged out of them. By the time you finish learning about Ke$ha’s struggles, you’ll hope that she came out Stronger.
As the pod’s resident Swiftie adult female fan of Taylor Swift, Beth brings the episode home by discussing her current number one girl crush, and a topic that she knows All Too Well: Taylor Swift. Beth goes through, in detail, the Bad Blood between Taylor Swift, Kanye, Scott Borchetta, and Scooter Braun. She documents how Karma came back around for Scooter (and Kanye, in a more indirect manner) after Taylor asked Who’s Afraid of Little Old Me, while also detailing how a decision made when Taylor was Fifteen resulted in her deciding It’s Time To Go and finding something Better than Revenge. The crew also discusses whether or not Ms. Swift thrives on drama or is simply a Mad Woman. At a minimum, we may have turned Dan into a Taylor Swift fan; if Beth has anything to say about it, she’s the new patron saint of women everywhere. It’ll be up to you to listen to the episode and decide!
