Swift Exit
Taylor Swift is mad that her record label sold all her old music to Scooter Braun’s agency without giving her a chance to purchase the rights back herself. The bigger problem for Taylor appears to be with Scooter, who is best known for representing Justin Bieber and Kayne. Her feud with Kanye still has her upset and she isn’t eager to have his friend and on and off again manager owning her music. “Like when Kim Kardashian orchestrated an illegally recorded snippet of a phone call to be leaked and then Scooter got his two clients together to bully me online about it,” she wrote. “Or when his client, Kanye West, organised a revenge porn music video which strips my body naked. Now Scooter has stripped me of my life’s work, that I wasn’t given an opportunity to buy. Essentially, my musical legacy is about to lie in the hands of someone who tried to dismantle it.” Swift does choose to omit the part about her lying, which led to the recording being released, but it is understandable that you wouldn’t want your life’s work to be in the hands of someone who goes by Scooter.
Album of The Week
Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots - The Flaming Lips (2002)
“But you won’t let those robots eat me
Yoshimi, they don’t believe me
But you won’t let those robots defeat me”
“Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face?
Do you realize?”
Bringing atmosphere and whimsy the opening four songs of this album following the leading character Yoshimi, who is named after the singer doing the screaming on Yoshimi Versus the Pink Robots, Pt. 2. Frontman Wayne Coyne painted the cover art himself, bringing his vision of the pink robots to life in detail. His vision of this world and experience so different from our own is probably what gives this album its lasting appeal and led to it being the band’s most successful.
