TAYLOR SWIFT THE ERAS TOUR and NO NAME BY JACK WHITE: Reviewed!
Welcome to the CCCAH, where we talk scepticism of technology while using technology! We hope your headphones aren’t snapping, crackling and popping. Because we need you on board for the ride. You’re our ride or die. Taylor has just yesterday performed the last show of her record breaking Wembley show. And Jack has just started picking up some of the best reviews of his career. So let’s get timely and current with a brand spanking new, multimedia music special. With your boys. The triple C,A,H.
Taylor’s version (is there any other version, really?) of her Eras tour film can be watched here: https://www.disneyplus.com/en-gb/movies/taylor-swift-the-eras-tour-taylors-version/OHLx94HKtS6X
A great review of Taylor’s new album The Tortured Poets Department can be read here: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2024/apr/19/taylor-swift-the-tortured-poets-department-new-album-is-about-a-reckless-kind-of-freedom-if-only-it-sounded-as-uninhibited
Laura Snapes wrote a brilliant profile of the pop star from a few years back: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/aug/24/taylor-swift-pop-music-hunger-games-gladiators
A more recent profile of Taylor as her world-dominating eras tour began stomping all over the world, leaving it’s mark in more ways than one: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2023/sep/08/how-taylor-swift-became-the-worlds-biggest-pop-star-again
I have always liked this take from the Pet Shop Boys as I feel like it rounds out all the hagiography with some nice and healthy boomer cynicism. Like, Neil Tenant gets it but he is not fully impressed: https://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/music/news/pet-shop-boys-taylor-swift-disappointing-b2534588.html
Jack White’s No Name can be listened to here: https://open.spotify.com/album/4j6OkbZmVIqJYDLJbiWHbX?si=ulmR8X99TRu71y1MVidgLg
As discussed on the pod: how do established artists typically go about a press tour, in the year of our lord 2024? A trip to 1) Zane Lowe and Apple Music. A trip to 2) the Broken Record podcast with Rick Rubin and Malcolm Gladwell. A trip to 3) the WTF podcast with Marc Maron. And (we forgot to mention this one on the pod) a trip to 4) Conan Makes A Friend with Conan O’Brien. So ok, great. Let’s start with Jack White on Conan’s pod: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jack-white/id1438054347?i=1000567789717
