Bang On

Myf and Zan reflect on designer Karl Lagerfeld’s legacy, good and bad, in the wake of public reaction to his passing. A story from an Air France flight has us squealing, and our DM’s have been flooded with notifications after Alexander Wang released some very special jeans. And the adaptation of a podcast to the small screen has us completely hooked.Show notes:Anti-Condolences for Lagerfeld: https://wearyourvoicemag.com/culture/anti-condolences-karl-lagerfeldJameela Jamil on Lagerfeld: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/celebrity-life/jameela-jamil-calls-karl-lagerfeld-a-ruthless-fatphobic-misogynist/news-story/1c82fd787d02daaa76262b0dc5badc42Air France undies flight: https://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/air-france-passenger-strips-down-to-underwear-on-plane-midflight/news-story/15607af7e837670ef927b749ba4a371cZip Jeans: https://twitter.com/jameelajamil/status/1096822755260055552/photo/1Laura Snapes on Ryan Adams: https://www.theguardian.com/music/2019/feb/14/the-ryan-adams-allegations-are-the-tip-of-an-indie-music-icebergDirty John: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80241855Email us: bangon.podcasts@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan have all eyes on farshun at the Grammy Awards cos that’s what it’s all about, right? A New York Times article on Ryan Adams has us thinking about abuse of power, and the music industry’s day of reckoning. Myf is quizzing Zan on whether her apartment is a man repeller, and we’re shredding through a couple of brilliant Netflix series.Show notes:Eurovision: https://www.sbs.com.au/programs/eurovisionGrammys farshun: https://www.cosmopolitan.com/style-beauty/fashion/a26134675/best-worst-dressed-grammys-2019/Ryan Adams: https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/13/arts/music/ryan-adams-women-sex.html?smtyp=cur&smid=tw-nytimesMan repeller apartments: https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-6688899/How-avoid-turning-home-manrepeller.htmlSex Education: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80197526Russian Doll: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80211627Email us: bangon.podcasts@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan are bored shitless by the Superbowl Halftime Show, but the absence of a real headliner has more to say about the power of protest than the lack of Levine’s clothing. A Hottest 100 revote reveals that you shouldn’t mess with history, and confirms that songs can triumph as emotional memory above all else. We’ve got the latest Fyre Festival update, and Myf is overjoyed at a new season of Call My Agent, while Zan is compelled by a brilliant account of an Australian tragedy.Show notes:The Superbowl Halftime Show Controversies Explained: https://www.vox.com/culture/2019/2/1/18202128/super-bowl-2019-liii-53-halftime-show-controversy-maroon-5-travis-scott-big-boiHere’s Your Hottest 100 of 1998 Revote: https://www.abc.net.au/doublej/music-reads/music-news/1998-hottest-100-revoted-top-10-2019/10782496Fyre Festival Update: https://junkee.com/jerry-media-boycott-fyre/192035Goop TV: https://www.theguardian.com/film/2019/feb/05/gwyneth-paltrows-goop-to-become-netflix-tv-show?CMP=share_btn_twThe Arsonist: https://www.penguin.com.au/books/the-arsonist-9780670078189Call My Agent!: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/80133335The Pineapple Project: https://www.abc.net.au/radio/programs/the-pineapple-project/Email us: bangon.podcasts@abc.net.au

Myf and Zan are unpacking what is, on record, the slowest tempo Hottest 100 in history and what it means. The many discussions around Kerri-Anne Kennerly and Yumi Stynes on Studio 10 have us diving in too, while Oscar noms are bringing joy to a certain Brit. The Fyre Fest flow-on online spirals us into interesting new territory, and Zan is saying Konbanwa to the new Terrace House season, while Myf is flicking the pages of a brilliant new Australian book.Show notes:The Changing Sound of the Hottest 100: https://www.abc.net.au/news/2019-01-29/listen-to-the-changing-sound-of-triple-js-hottest-100/10742150?sf206769552=1How Pop Music Got So Slow: https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-features/how-did-pop-music-get-so-slow-197794/Lowanna Gibson’s open letter: https://www.news.com.au/entertainment/tv/morning-shows/an-open-letter-to-racist-kerrianne-kennerley/news-story/66357708e3cc5392d7ab9a134c2398fbSarah Malik on KAK & Yumi: https://www.sbs.com.au/topics/life/culture/article/2019/01/30/what-was-really-going-behind-kerri-anne-and-yumi-stoush?fbclid=IwAR0ctJ3xro7rzVeYLMiBDHEPk_zB9YOr-42mPhS_YdmQ1-d_EFOC-5AbrIoRichard E.

Myf and Zan are back and banging into 2019! We catch up on the important stuff we missed over the break; from Kondo to Cardi B, to the 10 Year Challenge.

Zan backs up after the ARIA Awards with minimal sleep but maximal stories about Australian music’s night of nights. Knickers the giant cow has everyone talking and we’re here for it. And a long long read about Lena Dunham has us questioning our own reactions to this divisive creator.

Myf and Zan wrap the week of music, art, life and lettuce much like an iceberg wraps it’s perfect self in it’s own glad wrap. We discuss the bogan leaf and it’s comeback, while on telly we’re watching the reactions of different men to Scott Morrison’s comments about Pamela Anderson. The plotline for the doomed Sex and the City 3 movie has been revealed and explains everything about the aforementioned doom, and Myf gets Zan on the couch for some deep therapy in her television choices.Show notes:Iceberg Lettuce: https://www.newyorker.com/culture/kitchen-notes/its-time-to-admit-that-iceberg-is-a-superior-lettuceThe Project on Scott Morrison: https://tendaily.com.au/views/a181119utw/lisa-wilkinson-why-scomo-should-apologise-to-pamela-anderson-and-every-woman-20181119SATC 3: https://www.pedestrian.tv/film-tv/sex-the-city-three-plot-death/House of Cards: https://www.netflix.com/au/title/70178217The Marvelous Mrs Maisel: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOmwkTrW4OQEmail us: bangon.podcast@abc.net.au
