A replay of our 2021 episode with author and journalist Maria Sherman!

Throughout history, boy bands have been a massively lucrative enterprise for the music industry, thanks to their main demographic of teen girls. Join us to really learn about the importance of boy bands to pop culture and their dark history.
Heartthrob boy bands + adoring fangirls = big money! And this is where things get shady. Behind every successful boy band is a man with industry know-how (and sometimes even nefarious intentions.)
We’re joined by Maria Sherman, author of Larger Than Life: A History of Boy Bands, to explore the dark history of boy bands and the men who pull the strings – from Maurice Starr’s shady contracts with New Kids on the Block and New Edition to Lou Pearlman using Backstreet Boys and *NSYNC as the front of a Ponzi scheme. We also discuss their impact on pop culture which led to the rise of One Direction (thanks to Simon Cowell) and BTS (a la Big Hit Entertainment.)
All of this to say, are boy bands inherently sexist? And at the end of the day, do we even care?

We’re Getting Candid in our interview with Lime Cordiale.
Lime Cordiale is an Australian band comprised of brothers Oli and Louis Leimbach who played music together as teenagers and officially formed the band in 2009. The band has wracked up multi-millions of streams, known for their infectious melodies, catchy hooks, and clever lyrics, and they just wrapped up a tour across the US and Canada.
We chatted with Oli and Louis about stepping into larger-than-life personas on stage to turn their live shows into a party. How the brothers compliment and challenge each other as writing partners and musicians.

This week on Name 3 Songs…

⚡ Fangirl Nonsense:  We are chomping at the bit to see the two horniest movies of the season: Challengers and The Idea of You. Billie Eilish is also on the cover of Rolling Stone giving TMI on her sexual life. 

⚡   A week after Taylor released The Tortured Poets Department and a week after our episode dropped, we’re revisiting thoughts based on online conversations to ask ourselves if you can be a fan of Taylor Swift without being invest in the lore. We also look at Taylor’s lyrical references to Kim Kardashian in “thanK you aIMee” and why she chose to bring up the infamous Taylor-Kim-Kanye beef now. 

⚡   Harry Styles’ Pleasing is hosting a pop up in Austin, Texas. It’s all very cute on the outside, but taking a closer look at the merchandise prices has us wondering – can you really buy your way into kindness and inclusivity? We discuss the ethics of capital accumulation and celebrity brands that continue to make the top 1% of artists richer while lower and middle class artists struggle to make music their full time job. This leads us to think deeper about overconsumption and market saturation, not only of physical products, but also as music as a product. We also bring Charli XCX and Troye Sivan’s collab arena tour and Halsey’s makeup line About Face into the conversation for comparison on how artists are turning a profit.
