Teacup Demagogues

This week, Sally's guest is Chicago artist and friend Clyde Moreau. The two go ape-crap discussing John Frusciante's  Niandra Lades And Usually Just A T-Shirt,  their mutual favorite album of all time .  Clyde rightfully proposes that this album becomes a staple in every Black household, and Sally asks, "Why Paramore, and not this?". Both want to wish John a happy belated birthday (...

White men! We all know they are the most oppressed members of modern society, but what do they think about music?

In this special guest episode, Sally invites Ryan from the band Guster to Teacup Studios™️ to talk about dimes...What are dimes, you ask? They're not just hits, they're perfect songs. Listen as this duo tweak and geek over the best of the best! What makes a song a dime? Who are the parties responsible? Why are the Beatles so g*ddamn important? Sally gets schooled, but not convinced! Vast grou...

WOMEN. What do they want? What's the point of them? Why aren't they funny? Can they even make good music? For obvious reasons, Sally and Gabbie cannot answer these questions. But they can rattle off a list of women that they've heard of and hope for the best, and then recommend some new women you may not have heard of yet. There's patriarchy toppled, folks. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy f...

In the long-awaited (whoopsie!) second part of their Spotify series, the Demagogues explore what can be done to rebalance the music biome. What is this elusive context, and how does the indie artist create it for themselves? What is really happening with "good guy" distributors? What is Spotify doing wrong, and why? And what is the listener's role in this ecosystem? Sally puts on her finest p...

Spotify has made some major changes to how they're paying artists in 2024, and people are pretty pissed about it. People, sure, but what about the Demagogues? Gabbie admits to being a total fraud who actually knows nothing about the music industry, then blithely demands that Sally explain everything to her. What are royalties, even? Does every artist deserve to have them? Are the changes to the pa...

In their riveting first episode of 2024, the Demagogues have finally christened their listeners (welcome, Teacups!). Sally makes chaos coquette by adorning her new year In/Out list with pink bows. Gabbie has big feelings about the poetry of Anthony Kiedis. Oldheads get an intermediate lesson in finding new music. Our masterful orator podcast bros who are also, somehow, simultaneously just girls, g...

You were promised an episode about the best albums of 2023, and now you're almost going to get one! Gabbie thinks she's deciphering the AOTY end-of-year list aggregator, but ends up sounding like an overeager crypto-bro failing to impress a first date. Sally quickly tires of lists and explains the inner workings of the actual music industry instead (and challenges Foo Fighters fans to a duel as a...

Our slightly frazzled hosts desperately cling to their youth and their stuffed animals by reviving a middle school slumber party mainstay: Fuck/Marry/Kill...with a musical twist. Sally imagines a long life of adventure with Kim Gordon. Gabbie plans Morrissey's murder in upsetting detail. Right Said Fred get lucky. Thanks to Singles (the movie) and Sara (friend of the show) for inspiring this episo...

The girls boldly confess their guilty pleasures. Sally realizes too late that Cherry Poppin' Daddies is not just a creepy band name, but a trending search term on Pornhub. Gabbie gets all worked up and blows her wad (unrelated). Is the pleasure guilty, or were innocent minds unceremoniously defiled by the campaigning of pretentious goons? This star-studded episode features Marilyn Manson, Tori Amo...

Several minutes of complaining about boys before these two grown women can control their emotions and get serious. Gabbie thinks too many bands are compared to My Bloody Valentine. Sally doesn't think these little urchins even know the difference between a genre and a band. Albums covered, in order: Cartwheel by Hotline TNT, Of Good Fortune by Wiring, KNOWER FOREVER by KNOWER, and N...
