1:08 Speaker 7: What the f I opened up the a.

1:26 Speaker 5: To the ban.

1:37 Speaker 1: Enough to make that all.

2:02 Speaker 8: Can never shot a roll as on a closer because.

2:10 Speaker 5: Rolf and hold him back.

2:21 Speaker 1: I can see.

2:25 Speaker 7: What I believe I opened up for me, gettenough.

2:54 Speaker 1: To me that all.

3:47 Speaker 3: That is Sophia Gilani and the brand new single of Vulnerability,

3:51 Speaker 3: and I believe we have Sophia on the align with us.

3:53 Speaker 3: Fia WhatsApp Sophia are you there?

3:56 Speaker 9: Hi?

3:57 Speaker 10: Hello, I'm here. Thank you so much for having.

3:58 Speaker 3: Me absolutely wellcome back to the show. The last time

4:01 Speaker 3: that we had you on, I think we were. I

4:04 Speaker 3: think you had just released wake Up. Does that make sense? Yep, yep.

4:09 Speaker 11: Yes, I've just released wake Up, my first album, my

4:12 Speaker 11: first single to my new album that's coming out really

4:14 Speaker 11: really exciting. Have I loved the response that's happened so far?

4:17 Speaker 3: Yeah, excellent, excellent. So I really like this track. Vulnerability.

4:21 Speaker 3: The first thing, well, two things I noticed about it

4:23 Speaker 3: right away as it's first of all, it's got kind

4:25 Speaker 3: of a to me anyway, it has kind of a

4:27 Speaker 3: summertime vibe, which I like because that's my favorite time

4:31 Speaker 3: of year. And as we move into spring here, I

4:34 Speaker 3: enjoy that that. I mean, that was that's what I

4:36 Speaker 3: hear in it. But also, but I think part of

4:38 Speaker 3: the reason I hear that is it's also very sort

4:41 Speaker 3: of and I noticed this with some of your other

4:43 Speaker 3: tracks too, it's very sort of stripped down. There's not

4:47 Speaker 3: a lot going on in terms of well, I shouldn't

4:50 Speaker 3: put it that way, but it's it's very you know,

4:52 Speaker 3: it's like you can clearly hear all the percussion and

4:55 Speaker 3: it's very sort of it's not overproduced in that sense,

5:00 Speaker 3: do you know what? You know what I'm trying to say,

5:01 Speaker 3: I think.

5:02 Speaker 11: Yeah, yeah, I mean I wanted to keep it, you know,

5:06 Speaker 11: clear to the message simplistic.

5:07 Speaker 10: I want it to be just really a banger, if

5:10 Speaker 10: that makes sense.

5:11 Speaker 11: I want to listen to music. I want to make

5:13 Speaker 11: music that I want to listen to really, and you're right,

5:15 Speaker 11: I mean, it definitely is, even though it is quite

5:18 Speaker 11: a raw track. It is definitely one with a summer vibe.

5:21 Speaker 11: I love some of the most as well. I'm enjoying

5:23 Speaker 11: the sunshine right now during this interview, but I want

5:26 Speaker 11: it to be quite lighthearted, quite you know. That's why

5:29 Speaker 11: the beats, you know, upbeat, but with that like simplistic,

5:32 Speaker 11: down to earth message.

5:34 Speaker 3: Yeah. Yeah, Is that something that you try to go

5:36 Speaker 3: out of your way to do with a lot of

5:38 Speaker 3: because I feel like a lot of your work is

5:39 Speaker 3: like that. It's not it's not super overproduced as not,

5:42 Speaker 3: you know, so much going on where you almost kind

5:45 Speaker 3: of get distracted from the vocals or you know, like

5:47 Speaker 3: a lot of modern music is like that. But I

5:49 Speaker 3: feel like a lot of your I haven't listened everything necessarily,

5:53 Speaker 3: but I've listened to a lot of it and on

5:55 Speaker 3: your I'm looking at your SoundCloud right now, in fact,

5:57 Speaker 3: and I feel like a lot of it is like that.

6:00 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, less is more, really, And I feel

6:03 Speaker 11: like I'm quite a perfectionist when it comes to music, so,

6:07 Speaker 11: you know, adding too much, I feel like it just

6:09 Speaker 11: complicates from what I'm trying to do in the first place.

6:12 Speaker 11: And you know, everyone kind of worries that, oh is

6:15 Speaker 11: it commercial? Is it relatable da DA But honestly, as

6:19 Speaker 11: long as it just sounds good to me, it doesn't

6:21 Speaker 11: need to be overproduced, doesn't need to have all these

6:24 Speaker 11: unnecessary effects, because I also want it to hit just

6:27 Speaker 11: as well in performances and live.

6:30 Speaker 3: Right, that's true, And it does make sense if it's

6:34 Speaker 3: not overproduced in the studio, then when you're trying to

6:36 Speaker 3: replicate that live, it's a little less a little less

6:40 Speaker 3: daunting in some ways. Right, It's almost it's almost less

6:42 Speaker 3: to worry about in that sense. I would think.

6:45 Speaker 11: Yeah, I mean, you know, when when people come to

6:48 Speaker 11: my shows, I want them to you know, get what

6:50 Speaker 11: they get what they want essentially, and I want them

6:53 Speaker 11: to have this overduced song that has like ten thousand

6:56 Speaker 11: harmonies all over it, and then performance and it's like

7:00 Speaker 11: one vocal and it's a bit more slower. So, yeah,

7:03 Speaker 11: I wanted my music to be it's easy to listen

7:07 Speaker 11: to a bad thing.

7:08 Speaker 10: I'm not sure. I just I songwrite all of it myself.

7:12 Speaker 10: I'm very independent.

7:13 Speaker 11: I have foot in every single part of the process,

7:15 Speaker 11: and me and my producer we just don't like to,

7:18 Speaker 11: you know, try too hard on one track and then

7:21 Speaker 11: overthink it before it releases.

7:22 Speaker 3: Right right when you do You ever run into a

7:26 Speaker 3: situation where you're in the studio, you're recording, and something

7:29 Speaker 3: begins to sort of become too dense and you have

7:34 Speaker 3: to say, no, we're kind of going in the wrong

7:36 Speaker 3: direction with this, We're putting too much on it. We

7:38 Speaker 3: need to kind of strip this back a little bit.

7:40 Speaker 10: Yeah, definitely.

7:41 Speaker 11: I mean with the new album coming out, it's my

7:44 Speaker 11: first ever album, so we wanted to construct it in

7:46 Speaker 11: a way that was that reflected my musical journey. I've

7:50 Speaker 11: started quite young, and so looking at all the songs individually,

7:54 Speaker 11: we thought were great, but some of them, like some

7:57 Speaker 11: of them didn't sound coherent at first, Like towards the doing,

8:00 Speaker 11: some of them sounded maybe more some more overproduced than others,

8:04 Speaker 11: And we really did have to strip it back to

8:06 Speaker 11: what is the message that we want to convey with

8:08 Speaker 11: this album? Why do we want wake up to start it?

8:11 Speaker 11: You know, how have I progressed so far? How do

8:13 Speaker 11: I show that? How do I show you know, the

8:15 Speaker 11: Sophia Glani that I am today in comparison to who

8:18 Speaker 11: I was a few years ago with songs that were

8:20 Speaker 11: even more stripped back because I was.

8:22 Speaker 3: Just learning right, No, that makes sense. So the new album,

8:26 Speaker 3: when is the new album out?

8:28 Speaker 10: It's coming out at the end of May.

8:31 Speaker 11: We've had to push it back a few times, but

8:33 Speaker 11: that's just just because similar to what I just said before,

8:36 Speaker 11: actually we were just reevaluating and reassessing. But also it's

8:40 Speaker 11: going to be coming on vinyl, which is really really exciting,

8:42 Speaker 11: so we've been figuring out the distribution of that.

8:46 Speaker 3: Is is vinyl still very important over there? I know

8:49 Speaker 3: that in America, I think it was a few years ago,

8:53 Speaker 3: might have been twenty twenty three or twenty twenty four,

8:56 Speaker 3: it was the first time since the advent of CDs

8:59 Speaker 3: that actually outsold CDs. That's how the resurgence has been here.

9:04 Speaker 3: Is it like that where you.

9:05 Speaker 11: Are definitely, I mean more people my age are definitely

9:09 Speaker 11: wanting to have, you know, a product in their hands,

9:11 Speaker 11: have something meaningful to them because I feel like, you know,

9:14 Speaker 11: with streaming services, love it, but you know, sometimes it

9:18 Speaker 11: can feel like this weird numbers game where you want

9:20 Speaker 11: people to listen to.

9:21 Speaker 10: It so that you know, you feel seen.

9:24 Speaker 11: And I just kind of wanted my song to be

9:26 Speaker 11: in that my very first one anyway, to be in

9:28 Speaker 11: that product. So people have something from me, so it

9:30 Speaker 11: feels personal. And also I feel like not a lot

9:34 Speaker 11: of independent artists are taking that risk, taking that risk

9:36 Speaker 11: to make vinyl, put their blood, sweat and tiers and

9:39 Speaker 11: you know, distributing it and getting it made and all that,

9:41 Speaker 11: which in itself is a tricky process.

9:43 Speaker 10: But yeah, yeah, I want people to have that vinyl.

9:47 Speaker 10: And it's actually available for pre order right now my

9:49 Speaker 10: band Camp, which is really exciting.

9:51 Speaker 3: Oh excellent. I'm glad you mentioned band camp too, because

9:55 Speaker 3: band campus is such a great I'm a big advocate

9:57 Speaker 3: for band camp and I don't do yeah. Yeah, Well,

10:00 Speaker 3: the thing that I always say, and we might have

10:01 Speaker 3: even talked about this before, because I've talked about this

10:03 Speaker 3: with a number of guests, is how if you download,

10:06 Speaker 3: if you purchase and download music from band camp, you're

10:09 Speaker 3: actually getting a higher quality file than say, if you're

10:11 Speaker 3: just streaming it on YouTube or even Spotify. You really

10:16 Speaker 3: get the best possible product that you can as far

10:18 Speaker 3: as a download if you get it from band camp.

10:20 Speaker 3: So I'm a big advocate for that.

10:22 Speaker 11: Definitely me too, especially since I don't know, maybe this

10:25 Speaker 11: is just a personal opinion, but Spotify isn't really hitting

10:28 Speaker 11: it for me nowadays, I feel like, you know, there's

10:31 Speaker 11: so many there's so many like independent artists that I'm

10:34 Speaker 11: missing out on Spotify, And Spotify doesn't really benefit independent

10:38 Speaker 11: artists as much as say band camp does, where you know,

10:40 Speaker 11: you can actually help the artists, you get better quality,

10:42 Speaker 11: like you said, and it just feels like more of

10:45 Speaker 11: a contribution to the music industry where Spotify it feels like.

10:48 Speaker 10: You know, everyone's weirdly competing.

10:50 Speaker 11: You know, you have to splash out on adverts and

10:52 Speaker 11: campaigns and you know what I mean, It's just such

10:54 Speaker 11: a convolution process.

10:55 Speaker 10: So yeah, massive advocate of band camp as well.

10:57 Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, absolutely. Now so is wake Up? Wake Up

11:02 Speaker 3: will be the first track that opens the album, I

11:04 Speaker 3: assume because the album is called wake Up as you said.

11:07 Speaker 11: It's actually called Reconceptualized, but wake Up is the first

11:10 Speaker 11: single on it yet.

11:11 Speaker 3: Oh okay, gotcha? Gotcha? And how many tracks are gonna

11:14 Speaker 3: be on the album? How many songs?

11:16 Speaker 10: Thirteen thirteen?

11:19 Speaker 3: Wow?

11:19 Speaker 10: We put a lot on it. We were like, you

11:21 Speaker 10: know what, we're just going to do this one album.

11:23 Speaker 10: There's not going to be like any DeLux. We're not

11:25 Speaker 10: messing around. It's one album, you know, just for you,

11:28 Speaker 10: you know, oh.

11:29 Speaker 3: Great, okay, okay. And then so will that include all

11:34 Speaker 3: of the singles that you've released up to now or

11:37 Speaker 3: are there some that won't be on the album?

11:40 Speaker 10: Yeah.

11:40 Speaker 11: I think there's around three or four that I've already released,

11:43 Speaker 11: but there's a lot of new stuff on there. I mean,

11:45 Speaker 11: my genre is pop, but I'd like to mix pop

11:48 Speaker 11: sometimes with what I'm listening to, whether it be R

11:50 Speaker 11: and B or drill or garage. So it's really a

11:54 Speaker 11: mix of old and new and you know, me trying

11:56 Speaker 11: some new things in my production, et cetera, et cetera.

11:58 Speaker 3: Right, excellent, excellent. And then have you been playing live?

12:02 Speaker 3: Have you been touring?

12:04 Speaker 11: Yes, We've been doing a lot of performances recently.

12:07 Speaker 10: Actually, literally two days.

12:09 Speaker 11: Ago, just played not in Hill Art's Club, which was

12:12 Speaker 11: really cool in London. It was sold out, really cool,

12:17 Speaker 11: and in on the thirty first of May. At the

12:20 Speaker 11: end of this month, we'll actually be going to Ireland

12:23 Speaker 11: to play in a festival at Waterford near Dublin, which

12:25 Speaker 11: is cool.

12:26 Speaker 3: Oh, very good, very good. I always say festivals are

12:29 Speaker 3: the best because not only oh yeah, well, not only

12:33 Speaker 3: does it get you in front of a huge audience,

12:35 Speaker 3: and it's a great way to build your fan base

12:38 Speaker 3: and rapidly, you know. Uh, but also to just the

12:41 Speaker 3: contacts that you make, you know, with other industry people

12:43 Speaker 3: at a festival. It's it's really invaluable and uh yeah,

12:48 Speaker 3: definitely can be very very helpful. And then will you

12:51 Speaker 3: be releasing uh, because I know you've got you've got

12:54 Speaker 3: some videos. Will you be releasing videos with the album

12:57 Speaker 3: for these songs?

12:59 Speaker 10: Yes?

12:59 Speaker 11: Well, we've got visuals for a song on the album

13:03 Speaker 11: called Don't Forget Yourself, which are in the process of

13:05 Speaker 11: being edited. And you know, even after the album's released,

13:08 Speaker 11: we've still got visuals that we're planning to work on,

13:11 Speaker 11: including because the album's called Reconceptualized, the song Reconceptualized is

13:14 Speaker 11: going to get its own visuals soon as well.

13:16 Speaker 3: Oh very cool.

13:18 Speaker 11: You know, love being creative in every single form of it,

13:21 Speaker 11: whether it be songwriting, singing, playing festivals and then being

13:26 Speaker 11: a director behind the scenes, you know what I mean,

13:28 Speaker 11: right right?

13:29 Speaker 3: Tell me about the title. I'm curious about the title Reconceptualized.

13:32 Speaker 3: Why why did you choose that?

13:34 Speaker 10: Yeah?

13:35 Speaker 11: So, I mean we've played around with a lot of titles,

13:37 Speaker 11: including like Pieces of Me, but the reason why Reconceptualize

13:41 Speaker 11: kind of stuck is because not only is it not

13:43 Speaker 11: a very frequently used word, but it kind of encapsulates

13:46 Speaker 11: what I was.

13:47 Speaker 10: Trying to do with my album.

13:49 Speaker 11: I started music at twelve, and since then I've been

13:51 Speaker 11: going through ups and downs, and really at this point,

13:54 Speaker 11: now I'm eighteen, I'm rethinking what it means to be

13:58 Speaker 11: feared on it, what it means to make music, because

13:59 Speaker 11: I definitely songwriter and articulate myself a lot better than

14:03 Speaker 11: I did back then. So my first album is called

14:05 Speaker 11: Reconceptualized because it's my starting point as to how I'm thinking,

14:10 Speaker 11: I'm what Sophia Glani is going to be, and then

14:13 Speaker 11: hopefully my albums in the future will be an answer

14:16 Speaker 11: to that in a way.

14:17 Speaker 3: Okay, okay, very good. It's great that you have a

14:19 Speaker 3: plan and that you you know, because a lot of people,

14:23 Speaker 3: you know, especially people who get started young, they you know,

14:25 Speaker 3: they're just kind of throwing everything against the wall and

14:27 Speaker 3: see what sticks. But you know, but you've clearly got

14:31 Speaker 3: a plan and you've got some good people around you too.

14:33 Speaker 3: You mentioned that the producer that you work with, Yes, his.

14:37 Speaker 10: Name is Doctor Kane's really really cool.

14:39 Speaker 11: Yeah, we've He's been there throughout this whole process, which

14:43 Speaker 11: is why this album is very very special to me.

14:45 Speaker 11: But I mean, like you said, I've got a plan

14:48 Speaker 11: just because I always I love making music.

14:50 Speaker 10: I'm always songwriting, I'm always recording.

14:52 Speaker 11: Even after this album will be released, I'm going to

14:54 Speaker 11: release more because I just love to do it, not

14:57 Speaker 11: because I want to keep releasing and hope that you know,

15:00 Speaker 11: someday something really really sticks and.

15:02 Speaker 10: I get really really big, you know what I mean.

15:03 Speaker 11: I just want to continue doing what I'm doing, and

15:06 Speaker 11: this album is a stepping points.

15:10 Speaker 3: Yeah. No, that's that's outstanding. Well, very good. Well we

15:14 Speaker 3: look forward to I was thinking about at the end

15:15 Speaker 3: of our conversation because you know, we played Vulnerability. I

15:17 Speaker 3: was seeing it at the end. I might play wake

15:19 Speaker 3: Up again. I really like that track. And then absolutely absolutely,

15:25 Speaker 3: and then you know, we'll have you back in the

15:27 Speaker 3: future obviously because you know, as you're going to be

15:28 Speaker 3: releasing more singles and you know it gives us an

15:30 Speaker 3: excuse to have you back on.

15:31 Speaker 10: But yes, absolutely, thank you so much for your support.

15:36 Speaker 10: I've loved having this conversation.

15:37 Speaker 3: Oh absolutely, Sophia. Where's the best place to go online?

15:40 Speaker 3: For people who want to keep up with everything that

15:41 Speaker 3: you're doing.

15:43 Speaker 11: I'd honestly say the three main which is Instagram at

15:46 Speaker 11: Sofia Dotnica, doc Glani, TikTok, which is just spha Glani,

15:58 Speaker 3: like to.

15:58 Speaker 10: Say, thank you, you're not you're.

19:43 Speaker 3: you know, you get you get the best quality file

19:45 Speaker 3: available from band camp. So I really encourage that. H

19:49 Speaker 3: what we're going to do now, I want to play.

19:51 Speaker 3: So last week on the show, we opened the show

19:55 Speaker 3: with the world radio premiere of the new track from

19:58 Speaker 3: Chasing the Devil and I do happen. For those of

20:01 Speaker 3: you watching the show via video, whether it be YouTube

20:05 Speaker 3: or Facebook or wherever, you might notice, I'm wearing my

20:07 Speaker 3: Chasing the Devil's shirt. I love this song wired. So

20:10 Speaker 3: we're gonna give this another spin. This deserves another spin.

20:13 Speaker 3: This is such a great track. I love everything, literally

20:15 Speaker 3: everything that they've put out. And they're really good guys.

20:18 Speaker 3: And I've known Jay Bellow forever, and you know he

20:20 Speaker 3: always gives us the first crack at the at radio

20:23 Speaker 3: play with these songs. We always get to do the

20:25 Speaker 3: world radio premiere here with when it comes to Chasing

20:28 Speaker 3: the Devil. So I'm addicted to this song. I'm going

20:31 Speaker 3: to give this a spin, and so if you miss

20:33 Speaker 3: it last week, here it is. And if you heard

20:34 Speaker 3: it last week, you'd probably like to hear it again.

20:37 Speaker 3: And then after this we're probably gonna come back and

20:40 Speaker 3: do a little bit of music news. There is some

20:42 Speaker 3: music industry news that I find very interesting. And if

20:46 Speaker 3: you are listening live on Saturday, coming up in the

25:08 Speaker 3: a little bit ago. And in the first hour we

25:10 Speaker 3: had Johnny Collins from Modesty Blaze and coming up in

25:13 Speaker 3: the third hour for those of you listening live on Saturday,

25:15 Speaker 3: we have Viva Los Villains. Right now, though, there is

25:18 Speaker 3: some music industry news that we should take a look at.

25:22 Speaker 3: Always interesting things happening in the music industry. Somebody's always

25:25 Speaker 3: sueing somebody, there's always some sort of controversy, lots of

25:28 Speaker 3: lots of good stuff. This is from Digitalmusicnews dot com.

25:33 Speaker 3: This is one of my favorite resources for music industry news.

25:36 Speaker 3: Always some interesting articles here right on their homepage, and

25:40 Speaker 3: I've got a couple here, a couple things pulled up

25:42 Speaker 3: we can look at, and you know, they both relate

25:44 Speaker 3: to things that we've discussed on the show, obviously one

25:47 Speaker 3: of them being dynamic pricing. This article is titled and

25:51 Speaker 3: this just went up two days ago, dynamic pricing strikes again.

25:56 Speaker 3: Olivia Rodrigo's AMX Ticketmaster pre sale quickly devolve into a

26:00 Speaker 3: price spiked nightmare. Now, for those of you who don't

26:03 Speaker 3: know what dynamic pricing is, and we've been talking about

26:05 Speaker 3: it on the show for at least a couple of

26:07 Speaker 3: years now, it's something that ticket Master uses, it's something

26:10 Speaker 3: that other They've tried it in other industries, even fast food.

26:13 Speaker 3: I think Wendy's was trying to do this at one

26:15 Speaker 3: point but it kind of didn't work out. But dynamic

26:18 Speaker 3: pricing is where the price of something will fluctuate depending

26:22 Speaker 3: on demand for whatever it is, for whatever service item

26:26 Speaker 3: or in this case tickets. Ticketmaster has been using this

26:29 Speaker 3: so when demand is high for a certain show, then

26:34 Speaker 3: the ticket price will increase quite a bit. In some cases,

26:38 Speaker 3: if demand is low, the ticket price will automatically go down.

26:43 Speaker 3: So it makes sense in theory, but it causes a

26:47 Speaker 3: lot of problems. But gone are the days seemingly so,

26:52 Speaker 3: or at least with some shows where you know you

26:54 Speaker 3: know what the price is, the price of a ticket

26:56 Speaker 3: is announced and you say, okay, that's the price.

26:58 Speaker 10: Now.

26:59 Speaker 3: Of course, with ticketmaty there's also the problem of you

27:02 Speaker 3: go on to their site, you think a ticket costs

27:05 Speaker 3: a certain amount, and then by the time you get

27:08 Speaker 3: to check out, the ticket price is nearly doubled with

27:10 Speaker 3: all the fees and taxes and everything else it gets

27:13 Speaker 3: added on that they don't tell you about upfront, even

27:15 Speaker 3: though the Federal Trade Commission has told them you got

27:18 Speaker 3: to start displaying that all up front, not waiting till

27:22 Speaker 3: the end when they go to check out, and all

27:24 Speaker 3: of a sudden, the ticket price is twice what it was,

27:26 Speaker 3: or you know, close to twice forty percent higher, whatever

27:30 Speaker 3: it is, right, So, but dynamic pricing is where the

27:35 Speaker 3: price automatically fluctuates based on demand. And again some people

27:41 Speaker 3: really really hate this. But apparently this Olivia Rodrigo tour

27:47 Speaker 3: has already When we talked about this the first time

27:50 Speaker 3: on the show, I think it had to do with

27:51 Speaker 3: the Oasis tour. The Oasis reunion tour that was happening

27:55 Speaker 3: in the UK where they were using dynamic pricing, and

27:58 Speaker 3: it just it just caused all kinds of issues. We

28:02 Speaker 3: won't revisit that, we'll focus on this, but this is

28:05 Speaker 3: the newest kerfuffle, a word that I feel has not

28:08 Speaker 3: used nearly enough involving dynamic pricing. So again, this is

28:11 Speaker 3: from Music Business Worldwide. Oh no, I'm sorry, this is

28:14 Speaker 3: from Digital Musicnews dot com. Music Business Worldwide is a

28:18 Speaker 3: great side too, but this is from Digital Musicnews dot com.

28:20 Speaker 3: Ticketmaster's dynamic pricing strikes again, angering fans with exorbitant ticket

28:25 Speaker 3: prices that some said should be illegal for an arena show.

28:29 Speaker 3: Olivia Rodrigo, who by the way, was the musical guest

28:32 Speaker 3: on Saturday Night Live last weekend if you missed it,

28:36 Speaker 3: Olivia Rodrigo is embarking on the Unraveled Tour, a global

28:40 Speaker 3: trek with sixty five plus dates and support of her

28:43 Speaker 3: forthcoming third album, but fans are already disgruntled over the

28:48 Speaker 3: pre sale ticket prices. Unfortunately, it's a tale we've heard before. Yeah,

28:52 Speaker 3: the article even references this has become a problem that

28:55 Speaker 3: you know, we've certainly discussed many times on this show,

28:58 Speaker 3: it says here. On Tuesday, the pre sale for the

29:00 Speaker 3: Live Nation Promoted tour kicked off for American Express Card members.

29:04 Speaker 3: But when tickets first went on sale, fans quickly took

29:07 Speaker 3: to social media to vent their frustrations over sky high

29:11 Speaker 3: prices for an arena performance. Prices ranged from over two

29:15 Speaker 3: hundred to eight hundred dollars depending on location. Either way,

29:22 Speaker 3: not for nothing, but we live in a time where

29:24 Speaker 3: that actually doesn't sound I mean, you know, compared to

29:28 Speaker 3: what ticket prices were twenty years ago, that sounds very high.

29:31 Speaker 3: But I feel like tickets to any kind of arena show,

29:35 Speaker 3: whether it's music or you know, you see this. This

29:39 Speaker 3: is a big subject in professional wrestling right now. They

29:45 Speaker 3: talk about it on all these podcasts. We've talked about

29:47 Speaker 3: it on Tough Bumps, the wrestling podcasts that I do

29:50 Speaker 3: with Eric Pilcher and Austin Hicks. That's every Sunday night,

29:54 Speaker 3: by the way, usually well, I should say afternoon, usually

29:56 Speaker 3: around four pm Eastern. We go live find it online.

30:00 Speaker 3: That's strictly online, that's not associated with the radio station.

30:03 Speaker 3: But but uh, in fact, someone gave me some off

30:08 Speaker 3: air advice last night that maybe I should do more

30:10 Speaker 3: of that anyway, if you know, you know, but uh yeah,

30:18 Speaker 3: so so. But this is a problem with WWE events too,

30:23 Speaker 3: where people are getting you know, families, This is a

30:26 Speaker 3: big discussion going on right now. Families are getting priced out,

30:29 Speaker 3: you know, not being able to go to WWE events

30:31 Speaker 3: unless they happen to be wealthy because the cost has

30:34 Speaker 3: become so prohibitive. Okay, but to me, two day one

30:38 Speaker 3: hundred dollars, it almost that almost Maybe I've just become desensitized.

30:43 Speaker 3: Maybe a lot of us have that almost sounds normal.

30:46 Speaker 3: Now two day, eight hundred dollars. I look at that

30:49 Speaker 3: number and I think, yeah, I'm not that surprised, it

30:53 Speaker 3: says here again, going back to the article, many would

30:56 Speaker 3: be attendees admitted that they were willing to dish out

30:59 Speaker 3: more for Taylor Swift's airstore, which was a stadium level

31:03 Speaker 3: blowout affair, with each show lasting over three and a

31:06 Speaker 3: half hours. But as much as fans love Olivia, she's

31:09 Speaker 3: no tailor. One fan wrote on Twitter, quote, in no

31:14 Speaker 3: universe should any standard seated tickets be what is that pounds?

31:22 Speaker 3: You know this is I'm just going to convert it

31:26 Speaker 3: to dollars I don't know how else to do it.

31:30 Speaker 3: In no universe should any standard sea seated tickets be

31:33 Speaker 3: the three hundred dollars plus let alone in the in

31:36 Speaker 3: a twenty thousand capacity arena. I paid one hundred and

31:40 Speaker 3: fifty dollars for seats at Wembley's for the at Wembley

31:43 Speaker 3: for the airstore, a ninety k capacity stadium, for a

31:47 Speaker 3: three and a half hour show, and forgive me, I

31:50 Speaker 3: must take a gulf of water because my allergies are

31:53 Speaker 3: still terrible and I'm really feeling it in my throat.

31:56 Speaker 3: Bear with me. Does the mic pick up my swallowing

32:04 Speaker 3: the water? I'm curious, let's see. Another person wrote on Twitter,

32:09 Speaker 3: quote the prices for Olivia Rodrigo are actually making me sick.

32:13 Speaker 3: I would understand if it was one ten for standing

32:16 Speaker 3: in a stadium, but an arena. Another person wrote, what

32:20 Speaker 3: do you mean a back row of the two is

32:22 Speaker 3: being sold for one forty seven in some sections? Absolutely

32:26 Speaker 3: ridiculous pricing. Another person said literally watch ticket prices go

32:31 Speaker 3: up as I was in the queue as well, and

32:35 Speaker 3: another person wrote those Olivia Rodrigo ticket prices were disgusting.

32:39 Speaker 3: What business do you have charging Beyonce prices in the

32:42 Speaker 3: O two Arena. Oh my goodness, the article continues, but

32:47 Speaker 3: it's not just rodrig Or Rodrigo's shows that have drawn

32:51 Speaker 3: the ire of fans. Sabrina Carpenter, Zach Bryan, Ghost, Green Day,

32:56 Speaker 3: and Bruce Springsteen fans have all sung the same song

33:00 Speaker 3: complaining about Ticketmaster's infamous dynamic pricing. The idea behind okay,

33:05 Speaker 3: so this is I explained this before the article, but

33:07 Speaker 3: the article might explain it more succinctly. The idea behind

33:11 Speaker 3: dynamic pricing is that ticket prices increase based on demand,

33:14 Speaker 3: but many fans have pointed out that nothing in the

33:17 Speaker 3: industry will change as long as people continue to pay

33:19 Speaker 3: such prices. One Twitter user said, no wonder everyone thinks

33:24 Speaker 3: they can go do massive tours when people can sell

33:26 Speaker 3: out in seconds at five hundred dollars. Good point. Another said,

33:33 Speaker 3: y'all need to stop complaining and just mutually agree to

33:36 Speaker 3: refuse to pay these unreasonable ticket prices. Olivia Dean played

33:40 Speaker 3: the same venue as Noah Kan and Olivia Rodrigo, and

33:43 Speaker 3: it sold out shows at half the price. Indeed, the

33:47 Speaker 3: demand for Rodrigo's shows has been such that new dates

33:52 Speaker 3: have already been added in London. Initially, she was scheduled

33:55 Speaker 3: to play four shows at the O two Arena between

33:57 Speaker 3: April five and nine, but this has been doubled with

34:01 Speaker 3: shows on April twelve, fourteen, fifteen, and nineteen. Wow this

34:05 Speaker 3: demand all right, my god. Other news shows have been

34:09 Speaker 3: added in Amsterdam and Paris and and State side. Joining

34:15 Speaker 3: her on the tour will be grace ives and we

34:17 Speaker 3: don't need to get in all that. There's some details

34:19 Speaker 3: about the tour at the end, but the point is yes,

34:21 Speaker 3: dynamic pricing in fact strikes again and some people are

34:26 Speaker 3: very upset. Also, and Taylor Swift's name came up in

34:31 Speaker 3: that article. This is another thing happening from Digital Musicnews

34:34 Speaker 3: dot com. Now this I knew nothing about. This is

34:36 Speaker 3: new to me, but this just went up. Taylor Swift's

34:39 Speaker 3: legal team tears quote absurd trademark claims by former Vegas

34:45 Speaker 3: showgirl to shreds and threatens legal retaliation. I did not

34:49 Speaker 3: pre read this. I have no idea what we're getting

34:52 Speaker 3: into with this. I just saw this. It looked interesting,

34:55 Speaker 3: I guess as a Vegas showgirl causing some legal problems

34:58 Speaker 3: for Taylor Swift. I have no idea what this is?

35:00 Speaker 3: This is about? We will all learn together. Okay, here

35:02 Speaker 3: we go Taylor Swift's legal team and again, this is

35:06 Speaker 3: from Digital Music News dot com. Taylor Swift's legal team

35:09 Speaker 3: launches a counter attack against a former Vegas showgirl, accusing

35:14 Speaker 3: her of clout chasing with her trademark infringement claim. Taylor

35:18 Speaker 3: Swift's legal team has officially opposed an injunction request from

35:22 Speaker 3: former Vegas showgirl Maren Wade, who filed a trademark infringement

35:27 Speaker 3: lawsuit against Swift earlier this year over the title of

35:30 Speaker 3: her twenty twenty five album The Life of a Showgirl. Okay,

35:37 Speaker 3: now again, I did not preread this. I don't I

35:42 Speaker 3: didn't know where this was all going. We're barely into

35:46 Speaker 3: this article and already I'm rolling my eyes. So Taylor

35:52 Speaker 3: Swift's album called The Life of a Showgirl. A former

35:57 Speaker 3: Las Vegas showgirl is suing Taylor Swift for trademark infringement. Okay, now,

36:04 Speaker 3: let's try to keep an open mind here. But this

36:06 Speaker 3: already sounds very, very frivolous. Let's see. The article continues.

36:15 Speaker 3: The attorneys labeled her lawsuit meritless and absurd and claimed

36:20 Speaker 3: it was an attempt to exploit Swift's fame for a

36:23 Speaker 3: marketing boost for her own brand. Okay, again, this sounds

36:29 Speaker 3: frivolous and, as Taylor Swift's attorneys said, meritless and absurd.

36:34 Speaker 3: Let's see where we end up. Maybe there's something in

36:36 Speaker 3: the article that can sway us. Marin Wade, whose legal

36:40 Speaker 3: name is Maren Flagg, filed her lawsuit in March in

36:44 Speaker 3: the United States District Court in California. She owns the

36:49 Speaker 3: trademark for Confessions of a show Girl, which she has

36:53 Speaker 3: owned since twenty fifteen and used since writing a column

36:57 Speaker 3: in Las Vegas Weekly in twenty four The brand has

37:01 Speaker 3: expanded into a podcast and a live cabaret show. Okay,

37:07 Speaker 3: so far, nothing here changes my opinion that this is

37:10 Speaker 3: a very frivolous lawsuit. It's not even the same thing.

37:14 Speaker 3: It's not even the same name. Swift's album The Life

37:17 Speaker 3: of a Showgirl, The Life of a Showgirl. Maren Wade's

37:21 Speaker 3: column is called Confessions of a Showgirl. Not the same thing.

37:25 Speaker 3: Life and Confessions not the same word. This is yeah,

37:30 Speaker 3: I mean, I think Taylor Swift's attorneys are right. This

37:34 Speaker 3: is this is a she is cloud chasing. This is

37:36 Speaker 3: clearly what she's doing. Okay. In her filing, Maren Flagg

37:43 Speaker 3: claimed that Taylor Swift's The Life of a Showgirl infringed

37:48 Speaker 3: upon her trademark. So, by the way, okay, I don't

37:51 Speaker 3: mean to keep interrupting myself, but is the idea that

37:57 Speaker 3: anything with the word showgirl in it is infringement?

37:59 Speaker 15: Is that?

38:00 Speaker 3: Is that what Maren Flags whatever her name is, is

38:04 Speaker 3: that what her attorneys are contending. You just can't use

38:08 Speaker 3: the word showgirl on anything? What about the mo is?

38:11 Speaker 3: You know there's a movie Showgirl Is a Showgirl or Showgirls.

38:14 Speaker 3: I never saw it. It had the actress from Saved

38:17 Speaker 3: by the Bell. I never saw it. It looked horrible.

38:21 Speaker 3: Have they also been sued the producers of that film?

38:25 Speaker 3: I mean, come on, I mean I realized that movie

38:27 Speaker 3: was like what twenty years ago at least maybe more.

38:30 Speaker 3: But anyway, but again, it just speaks to the absurdity

38:34 Speaker 3: of this. Okay, so let me start this paragraph over. Sorry,

38:37 Speaker 3: I keep interrupting myself. In her filing, Flag claimed that

38:41 Speaker 3: Swift's The Life of a Showgirl infringed upon her trademark

38:45 Speaker 3: and created it just gets more absurd and created unfair

38:51 Speaker 3: competition for her own brand. Unfair competition for her own brand.

39:01 Speaker 3: So I mean, just think about that. So she's by

39:08 Speaker 3: the way, I would love to meet the lawyers who

39:11 Speaker 3: took this on on behalf of this woman. They should

39:19 Speaker 3: probably be dispartd How how is an album with the

39:25 Speaker 3: word showgirl in a competition for this woman writes a column.

39:29 Speaker 3: She writes a column for a Las Vegas newspaper called

39:33 Speaker 3: the Life of a Showgirl. I'm confused about where the

39:37 Speaker 3: competition is, Okay, it says here. The suit even cites

39:43 Speaker 3: that when Swift applied to register her trademark for the album,

39:47 Speaker 3: the US Patent and Trademark Office initially declined because it

39:51 Speaker 3: found it was too similar to Flag's existing trademark. That

39:56 Speaker 3: can't be true. That can't be true. Can that possibly

40:02 Speaker 3: be true? I don't believe that. I mean, it's in

40:08 Speaker 3: the court filing. So if I'm saying that can't be true,

40:12 Speaker 3: I guess I'm accusing her her almost Freudian slip. I

40:15 Speaker 3: almost at her liars, her lawyers, but I do mean liars.

40:20 Speaker 3: I'm accusing her her lawyers of lying in the filing

40:25 Speaker 3: because I just don't believe that. How can that possibly

40:28 Speaker 3: be true. All right, we go on. Flag asks for

40:33 Speaker 3: a preliminary injunction to immediately prevent Swift from further use

40:38 Speaker 3: of her showgirl brand. But Swift's team is known for

40:42 Speaker 3: being aggressively re litigious, and they wasted no time in

40:45 Speaker 3: clapping back with a filing of their own. I say

40:48 Speaker 3: good for them. They wrote, quote, this motion just like

40:54 Speaker 3: Marin Flagg's lawsuit, should never have been filed. It is

40:57 Speaker 3: simply miss Flag's attempt to use Taylor Swift's name and

41:00 Speaker 3: intellectual property to prop up her brand. Unquote, that's exactly

41:03 Speaker 3: what she's doing. According to their opposition, Swift's lawyers say

41:08 Speaker 3: that Flag actually used Swift's music and lyrics to promote

41:13 Speaker 3: her Confessions of a Showgirl stage show. They further threatened

41:19 Speaker 3: to pursue remedies for the commercial misuse of Swift's intellectual property.

41:25 Speaker 3: Oh yeah, that's uh. I think Maren Flagg really may

41:35 Speaker 3: have I mean, this is, you know, not only going

41:38 Speaker 3: to backfire. I mean, this is clearly this is backfiring.

41:41 Speaker 3: This is going to cause her more problems. And again,

41:45 Speaker 3: who are her attorneys? They they're clearly they have no

41:48 Speaker 3: idea what they're doing. Clearly, the filing also asserts that

41:52 Speaker 3: there is quote no chance of consumer confusion between the

41:55 Speaker 3: two brands. My point a few minutes ago, citing the

41:58 Speaker 3: legendary attention to detail of Swift's devoted fans and noting

42:01 Speaker 3: the vast difference between a small, intimate cabaret act and

42:06 Speaker 3: Swift's global stadium performances, that comparison is absurd. Her lawyers wrote,

42:13 Speaker 3: that's got a sting, that's got a sting. A little yeah,

42:17 Speaker 3: your stupid little cabaret show not quite the same as

42:20 Speaker 3: a Taylor Swift global stadium tour. So we think that

42:25 Speaker 3: people are gonna know the difference, just saying. The article continues,

42:35 Speaker 3: Swift's team also asks the judge to consider why Flag

42:39 Speaker 3: is asking for immediate relief on the basis of irreparable

42:43 Speaker 3: damage to her brand a whole eight months after the

42:46 Speaker 3: album was first announced. They argue that Flag in fact

42:50 Speaker 3: spent several of those months attempting to associate herself more

42:55 Speaker 3: closely with Swift's Showgirl branding in her own Ah says

43:05 Speaker 3: here again, this is the filing that Taylor Swift lawyer's did.

43:11 Speaker 3: The countersuit. There's a lot here. This is what's in there. Filing,

43:17 Speaker 3: some of it, not the whole filing. Obviously, since the

43:20 Speaker 3: album announcement, Plaintiff has reframed her brand around the album,

43:26 Speaker 3: flooding her social media accounts with posts attempting to align

43:29 Speaker 3: herself with Miss Swift and the album. Prior to the

43:33 Speaker 3: album announcement, Plaintiff had never used the life of a

43:37 Speaker 3: showgirl in her social media promotion. Following the announcement, Plaintiff

43:42 Speaker 3: used the phrase or posted generally about Miss Swift or

43:47 Speaker 3: the album over forty times on her branded Instagram and

43:51 Speaker 3: TikTok accounts. In fact, a mere four days after Miss

43:56 Speaker 3: Swift announced her album title into Artwork, in August twenty

43:59 Speaker 3: twenty five, Miss Flag announced a brand new podcast mimicking

44:03 Speaker 3: Miss Swift's album artwork, logo, title, and taglines, then playing

44:09 Speaker 3: to flooded her Instagram and TikTok pages with forty plus

44:12 Speaker 3: advertisements for her brand using Miss Swift's music, trademarks and

44:19 Speaker 3: other intellectual property without permission unquote hmm busted each of these,

44:27 Speaker 3: The brief claims constitutes actionable infringement and that thas rights

44:33 Speaker 3: management quote will be pursuing appropriate remedies for that unquote.

44:39 Speaker 3: So this woman, this idiot. Frankly, Maren Flagg, you know,

44:45 Speaker 3: in attempting to clout Chase ended up just causing a

44:49 Speaker 3: whole lot of problems for herself. One other quick story

44:53 Speaker 3: and then we've got we've got this week's world radio premiere,

44:57 Speaker 3: and of course we'll show some love to our amazing sponsor.

45:00 Speaker 3: And then coming up an hour number three today we

45:01 Speaker 3: have Viva los Villains, Loser loss, Viva los Villains. Although

45:08 Speaker 3: when people say Los Lobos, they always say loos. They

45:10 Speaker 3: don't say loss. But when we say Los Angeles, we

45:13 Speaker 3: say loss. We don't say los. I guess you can

45:16 Speaker 3: say either way. This is something I hate to see

45:19 Speaker 3: this again. This is also from Digital Music News. Eric

45:22 Speaker 3: Clapton ends Madrid show early after being struck by object

45:26 Speaker 3: from the crowd. I don't know why people do this,

45:29 Speaker 3: but this and look, Eric Clapton, there's some things about

45:33 Speaker 3: the guy that bother me quite frankly, but this should

45:36 Speaker 3: not ever happen, it says here. Eric Clapton didn't give

45:40 Speaker 3: fans in Madrid his usual encore after he was hit

45:43 Speaker 3: in the chest with an object from the crowd and

45:46 Speaker 3: left the stage afterward. Eric Clapton usually returns to the

45:49 Speaker 3: stage for an encore after playing his classic hit Cocaine,

45:52 Speaker 3: but that was not the case at his Madrid concert

45:54 Speaker 3: on May seven. Footage posted on social media shows that

45:57 Speaker 3: Clapton seemed to be hit in the chest with what

45:59 Speaker 3: appeared to be a vinyl record tossed from the crowd.

46:02 Speaker 3: As a result, he didn't come back out for an

46:04 Speaker 3: encore after finishing the song a vinyl record, So with

46:07 Speaker 3: somebody did somebody think if they threw the record at

46:10 Speaker 3: Clapton he would autograph it for them. That's the only

46:13 Speaker 3: logical thing I can think of why that would happen.

46:16 Speaker 3: Why else would that happen. It doesn't make sense. It's bizarre,

46:22 Speaker 3: and obviously it's not the right thing to do. And

46:24 Speaker 3: obviously whoever threw that record, if that was what their

46:27 Speaker 3: intention was, they did not get their autograph. Probably somebody

46:32 Speaker 3: drunk or on something. But it says here the moment

46:36 Speaker 3: happened just after he performed Cocaine, which is usually the

46:39 Speaker 3: point at which Clapton leaves the stage and then returns

46:42 Speaker 3: to play an encore, but after the incident he did

46:44 Speaker 3: not return to the stage. Reports suggests that the fan

46:48 Speaker 3: who threw the vinyl did not intend to cause any

46:50 Speaker 3: harm right, that probably my theory. Nor did it appear

46:53 Speaker 3: to cause injury to Clapton when the item made contact,

46:56 Speaker 3: and the record was even accompanied by a note of affection. However,

47:01 Speaker 3: even with the best of intentions, throwing an item on

47:03 Speaker 3: stage doesn't always have the desired effect, and that was

47:06 Speaker 3: certainly the case here. The former Cream guitarist reportedly became

47:09 Speaker 3: angry after the incident and chose not to return to

47:11 Speaker 3: the stage. The Stars he had to address the incident,

47:14 Speaker 3: but unfortunately, he's far from the first musician to be

47:16 Speaker 3: hit by an object thrown from the crowd. Hey, I

47:19 Speaker 3: was at a disturbed show once. This would have been

47:21 Speaker 3: oh my god. This was probably more than twenty years ago,

47:25 Speaker 3: where for some reason, it was at an outdoor show.

47:29 Speaker 3: It was at a festival, and for some reason people

47:31 Speaker 3: were throwing stuff in the crowd. I have no idea why.

47:34 Speaker 3: I mean, people throw things at Dave Draymond now for

47:36 Speaker 3: different reasons, but people were throwing stuff in this crowd.

47:40 Speaker 3: From this crowd, we're throwing stuff And Dave Draymond said, look,

47:43 Speaker 3: you know, that's not a compliment to us. He keep

47:45 Speaker 3: doing that, We're leaving. And it did stop but it

47:50 Speaker 3: says here. A surge of concert incidents between twenty twenty

47:52 Speaker 3: three and twenty twenty four saw a numerous artist hit

47:55 Speaker 3: by objects thrown from the audience, including Kelsey Ballerini and

47:59 Speaker 3: Harry Styles. Baby A Rexa required stitches after a fan

48:03 Speaker 3: through a self oh I remember this through a cell

48:05 Speaker 3: phone directly at her face while she was performing in

48:08 Speaker 3: New York, and Ava Max had a fan slap her

48:11 Speaker 3: in the face after rushing the stage in Los Angeles.

48:14 Speaker 3: Other artists who have had items thrown at them during

48:16 Speaker 3: performances in the last few years include Drake Pink and

48:19 Speaker 3: Steve Lacy. The eighty one year old Clapton and by

48:22 Speaker 3: the way, that is relevant his age. He's eighty one

48:24 Speaker 3: years old, so you know, if you throw something like

48:30 Speaker 3: a vinyl record, you know which is not it's not

48:34 Speaker 3: the same as you know, throwing a glass bottle or something.

48:36 Speaker 3: But still, I mean, at eighty one years old, a

48:39 Speaker 3: stiff wind might blow this guy over. You can't just

48:43 Speaker 3: be doing that. I mean, that's stating the obvious, be

48:47 Speaker 3: laboring the point, I suppose. But the eighty one year

48:49 Speaker 3: old Clapton is currently on his European tour which is

48:52 Speaker 3: set to resume in Barcelona on May tenth, before he

48:54 Speaker 3: makes his way to Germany for shows in Mannheim. Okay,

48:57 Speaker 3: it just goes on about a tour. Don't care about

48:58 Speaker 3: that part. That's the last paragraph anyway. But you know,

49:01 Speaker 3: if you throw things at someone while they're on stage,

49:06 Speaker 3: just be aware that you are a bad person and

49:08 Speaker 3: we all hate you for doing that, and please don't

49:11 Speaker 3: do that ever. All Right, we've got another world radio premiere.

49:17 Speaker 3: We did this at the top of the show today,

49:18 Speaker 3: but we're gonna do it again in the second hour

49:21 Speaker 3: if you missed it. We've got the brand new single

49:23 Speaker 3: from Nashville artist Dylan Jones, and he's going to be

49:29 Speaker 3: on with us. I'm trying trying to remember the date. Actually,

49:32 Speaker 3: let me look here. I've got this open. Dylan Jones

49:35 Speaker 3: is going to be on the show with us on

49:41 Speaker 3: stall Lean for time. Well, I look up the date

49:44 Speaker 3: that he is going to be on the show, so

49:47 Speaker 3: I make a little song about it. He's going to

49:49 Speaker 3: be on with us on August eighth. August eighth, Dylan

49:52 Speaker 3: Jones will be joining us on the show. He'll be

49:55 Speaker 3: probably via Microsoft Teams or WhatsApp from Nashville. But he's

49:59 Speaker 3: got a brand new single, and you heard it here first.

50:01 Speaker 3: This has not been played anywhere else on terrestrial radio,

50:05 Speaker 3: and we're gonna play it right now from Dylan Jones.
