00:00 - 00:03 | ...which is why Eric Carmen looks like Cathy Rigby now. |
00:04 - 00:05 | As for Cait Brennan's album Debutante, it sold briskly among power pop fans |
00:05 - 00:07 | and among people who like fingering maps. |
00:08 - 00:12 | She just finished a second album called "Introducing The Breakdown According To Cait Brennan". |
00:12 - 00:15 | which will come out in 2017. |
00:17 - 00:19 | Wait. What happened to the Sire deal? |
00:19 - 00:21 | Those demos she did for Warner Brothers. |
00:24 - 00:26 | Mein Führer... Sire... |
00:27 - 00:28 | Sire... |
00:31 - 00:33 | Sire passed on signing her. |
00:34 - 00:36 | She's going to Memphis to record a third record.. |
00:53 - 00:58 | Everybody who didn't back her Kickstarter, get the fuck out. |
01:13 - 01:15 | How could Sire have passed? |
01:15 - 01:17 | Andy Paley co-produced it! |
01:18 - 01:23 | The guy from Fitz and the Tantrums was on it. |
01:25 - 01:28 | Major labels have lost their fucking minds. |
01:29 - 01:31 | And now she's back on her own? |
01:31 - 01:34 | Some label guy blew the deal? What an A-S-S. |
01:34 - 01:37 | "Introducing The Breakdown" has like six global top ten hits on it. |
01:37 - 01:40 | I guess labels are allergic to money. Or music. |
01:40 - 01:42 | Mein Führer, she's old and fat and trans, get serious. |
01:42 - 01:46 | Have you even heard "If This Ain't Love"? Or "Bandit"? |
01:46 - 01:48 | Mein Führer, breaking new artists is an expensive proposition. |
01:48 - 01:52 | It's your job, you gutless cowards! I hate label weasels as much as I hate pencils and maps. |
01:53 - 01:54 | Pop music is dead! |
01:56 - 01:57 | Sia's almost the same age as Cait Brennan. |
01:57 - 02:00 | They hide her under a huge fucking wig and get some spry kid to dance, it's fine! |
02:00 - 02:03 | but maybe we should give that money back bacuse you're too stupid to think of a marketing plan, right? |
02:04 - 02:08 | I'll bet everybody in the other room is super sad about this. |
02:08 - 02:13 | Cait has a lot of fans who dress up like the Swiss Miss girl, and when they find you they're gonna break your legs. |
02:14 - 02:16 | Now she has to go to Memphis on her own dime |
02:17 - 02:21 | and walk around in Alex Chilton's underpants and cry. |
02:27 - 02:29 | The last time I saw her she looked so discouraged |
02:30 - 02:34 | that despite my heroic efforts to pound my chest like Donkey Kong |
02:34 - 02:36 | and grab an invisible swing rope |
02:41 - 02:42 | She didn't even smile. |
02:43 - 02:47 | Well, I for one and not giving up. |
02:48 - 02:53 | I've been in Sparks since I was a kid |
02:54 - 02:56 | and people don't get us either |
02:56 - 02:59 | but we still make really cool stuff |
03:00 - 03:02 | and Cait Brennan must not give up! |
03:04 - 03:07 | Don't worry. I gave her like fifty bucks. |
03:14 - 03:16 | She should've been as big as Madonna. |
03:19 - 03:23 | I guess it's still too much to expect them to take an outsider artist seriously. |
03:25 - 03:26 | Like Sparks. |
03:31 - 03:33 | Jeff, get my debit card. |
03:40 - 03:46 | It may not be much, but I'm gonna give what I can |
03:46 - 03:49 | to get that girl to Memphis. |
03:53 - 03:56 | I hope they take Discover. |
