Accountability in Music • Page 392

Anyone that works with Dr. Luke post-everything with Kesha coming out gets a big yikes from me, personally.

 

Ugh that’s so gross. And like why is he allowed to do that!!! Why are the women he’s working with getting the brunt of the criticism when there are many people who are helping this happen? It’s all wild to me.

Yeah it’s a yikes from me too
And I know no one in here has advocated for her complete cancellation or something but sometimes comments seem to allude to the conclusion “so you shouldn’t listen to her” (or Kim petras apparently? But I honestly don’t know who that is so)

I am just endlessly frustrated that, yet again, the onus of not supporting abusers falls on us the audience, people who are just hungry for music by women, POC, trans artists etc. I believe it is a hellscape world for it to fall on listeners to have to look up the producers, writers, mixers, managers (the list goes on and on) and make sure none of them are known predators. (the key word is known because for some reason we’re all out here acting like it ain’t pretty much all of them but I digress.) It’s so fucking infuriating that it’s on us to do that instead of the music industry collectively kicking him out at the first sign of abuse. This broken system continues to make everything worse.

 

Oh wow had no clue she was in Fifth Harmony

 

I wouldn't say that's necessarily appropriate for in here but he seems like a doofus I guess lol. More problematic is that of 95 people that he follows, JJR is one.

 

Lol I used to live in Saskatoon

 

I get your point but on the other hand, I’m not going to assume that people in the US have knowledge of Canadian geography and I don’t really think it’s necessary to chastise someone for not knowing.

 

Seems like a misuse of the thread. Like who really cares lol

 

it’s annoying when Americans don’t know basic facts about Canada, but unless you’re from saskatoon you’ve likely never had a reason to even think about that place.

 

I only know about Saskatoon bc one time Dallas Green sang "I've been through the Rockies, I've seen Saskatoon"

 

dumb post is dumb. that's really all.

 

I only know as much Canadian geography as I do because I watch a lot of hockey and Letterkenny. I wouldn’t expect a Canadian to know the capital of, like, Nebraska or anything.

 

coincidentally Dallas Green also talks shit about the capital of Nebraska in that song!

 

*I’ve Been Everywhere plays softly in the background*

 

Ok, but are we 100% Timbuktu is real?

 

Saskatoon sounds like it could have been a funny name Krusty says in the Homie The Clown episode of The Simpsons

 

Stop it, you're killing me! HAHAHAHAHA Seattle

 

Fury as Kanye West hymn service pushes out transgender show

 

Kanye is garbage and I’m so goddamn sick of him getting a pass. It’s infuriating.

 

Dr Luke is still on his bullshit

for those who don't know in addition to being a creep he , for example, gave Pink a beat he had already used with The Veronicas

 

I love Skylar Spence

 

I'm confused about the plagiarism accusation given the state of music copyright is widely acknowledged to be overly broad in favor of plaintiffs

 

You must be joking. Don't be ridiculous.
