Katy Perry walked through a wet spiderweb, and other lewks from the VMAs

Myf and Zan are back with a whole lot of music chat this week. As we press record the 40th annual MTV VMAs are on; always the most cooked red carpet of the year. The CMA Awards announced its nominations, and Beyonce is a glaring omission... We explore why.Kendrick Lamar has been announced as headliner for the sports concert with the Super Bowl Halftime Show as it's crowning moment. And Taylor Swift has come out and officially endorsed Kamala Harris (we are here for her sign off).Meanwhile Dave Grohl has knocked language out of the park with his weasel word announcement of an affair, and it's a loving farewell to the voice of our childhood: the iconic James Earl Jones.And we're digging into the wild docuseries Chimp Crazy, and banging on about an Isabelle Allende book and Netflix's new series A Perfect Couple.Beyonce CMA snub: https://www.nytimes.com/2024/09/09/arts/music/beyonce-cmas-nominations-cowboy-carter.html?smid=url-shareKendrick Lamar Superbowl: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oIEKK_j0fss&ab_channel=KendrickLamarTaylor Swift endorsement: https://www.instagram.com/taylorswift/p/C_wtAOKOW1z/?hl=enDave Grohl affair: https://www.instagram.com/davestruestories/p/C_v4WBbyxnd/?hl=enJames Earl Jones: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-10/james-earl-jones-star-wars-the-lion-king-the-simpsons/104331850VMAs red carpet: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-09-12/vma-red-carpet/104336406Chimp Crazy: https://binge.com.au/shows/show-chimp-crazy!30032The Soul of a Woman: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/54075385-the-soul-of-a-womanThe Perfect Couple: https://www.netflix.com/title/81474158Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

We’re living in the era of the music documentary. From the big screen to streaming to social media, films about our favourite artists are everywhere. But where to start? Well, Myf and Zan have done God’s work and watched a bunch of them.Inspired by the great lineup of music docos on the Melbourne International Film Festival program, this week Myf and Zan are talking about some of their faves.There’s new films about electro punk pioneer Peaches and cult Irish hip-hop act Kneecap; films that chart the rise and fall of icons like ABBA and Whitney Houston; and there’s those goosebump-inducing moments on film that capture transcendent performers at their peak.Melbourne International Film Festival: https://miff.com.au/Double J’s 19 music documentaries you can (legally) stream for free right now: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-23/stream-music-documentaries-free/12178630ABBA: Against the Odds: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/abba-against-the-oddsFreddie Mercury: The Great Pretender: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/tv-program/freddie-mercury-the-great-pretender/1350182979700Whitney: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/whitney20 Feet From Stardom: https://www.sbs.com.au/ondemand/movie/20-feet-from-stardom/1985674819552Blasko: https://iview.abc.net.au/show/blasko/video/AC1541H001S00The Greatest Night In Pop: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81720500?src=tudumWham: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/81137188?src=tudumABC Logie Awards Nominees 2024: https://iview.abc.net.au/collection/1374Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://www.abc.net.au/abceventsBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

#298: I Am: Celine Dion

Spoiler alert! This week, it’s all about woman of the moment Celine Dion and the new documentary that’s given us all a new appreciation of the superstar singer.I Am: Celine Dion follows Celine as she deals with the aftermath of her diagnosis with stiff person syndrome. It’s a confronting look at the harrowing physical toll the illness has taken on her health and her voice.We learn about her upbringing as one of 14 children, go behind the scenes into her warehouse of extraordinary farshun, and get a peek into her everyday life - from the most orderly sock drawer you’ll ever see to her kids’ bonkers gaming room.And of course Myf and Zan have LOTS of thoughts: about celebrity, health, ageing, perfection and an an old-school entertainer who’s given an extraordinary window into her life.Celine Dion: I Am: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/I-Am-Celine-Dion/0KESUWINP6U93HJ0FEZUVWNDZKBang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auProduced by: Caitlin NienaberBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.

#297: Opening Ceremony, Wax Figures, Hoof Boots

It's been a very EXTRA week, and so we're going early cos frankly we're busting to unpack it all. The Paris Olympics Opening Ceremony is camp AF and we're here for Blue Man Group Dionysis, Renaissance horsewoman, a ménage a trois nod, and death metal beheadings of Marie Antoinette. Obvs we're on the floor watching Celine's return. Wow.CD's are having a renaissance of their own, thanks mainly to T Swift, but a sweet editorial has us reminiscing about the beloved compact disc and the memories they hold. And on the anniversary of Sinead O'Connor's death, a wax figure has been unveiled in Dublin. It's not good.Bang Fam have been DM'ing us the Alexander McQueen hoof boots left right and centre too, and trotting down the runway with this hairy FARSHUN. And we're banging on about the Von Dutch doco and Nick Cave & Sean O'Hagan's beautiful book of conversations.Show notes: Kasey Chambers book: https://www.hardiegrant.com.au/au/publishing/bookfinder/book/kasey-chambers-just-don_t-be-a-d__khead-by-kasey-chambers/9781761451027Opening Ceremony highlights: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7pe5xlUgyzkCD sales are growing: https://www.theguardian.com/music/article/2024/jul/28/cd-sales-rise-taylor-swift-collection-nostalgia-90s-oasis-bashy-metronomy-kitty-livSinead O'Connor wax figure: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-07-27/sinead-oconnor-wax-figure-taken-down-over-poor-likeness/104150802Wax celebrity figures: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/entertainment/celebs/g19664055/bad-celebrity-wax-figures/?slide=4McQueen hoof boot: https://www.alexandermcqueen.com/en-us/pr/hoof-boot-808119WLAAB1779.htmlVote for Take 5 in the Logies: https://www.tvweeklogies.com.au/The Curse of Von Dutch: https://www.primevideo.com/detail/0QYBYKB3RIIMODVVT5YT82791P/ref=atv_dl_rdr?tag=justau2tuk-22Faith, Hope & Carnage: https://www.nickcave.com/faith-hope-and-carnage/Bang Back to us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.auBang On Live: https://comedy.com.au/tour/bang-on-live-myf-warhurst-zan-rowe/Bang On Merch Store: https://sound-merch.com.au/collections/bang-on-liveProduced by: Caitlin Nienaber & Nick GerberBang On is an ABC podcast, produced by Double J.
