Lisää Music Is A Racket Podcast

A "racket" is a dishonest activity that portrays itself as the opposite, conducted for the benefit of the few at the expense of the many. The music industry has historically functioned in this way, acting in the interest of a small group that knew how it actually worked, be it label executives, publishers or lawyers. Many have been exploited by this system, but the Internet has allowed people to finally bring awareness to what's been going on for decades. This podcast is about amplifying those stories and shedding light on an industry that feeds on the work of the creative class, but mostly rewards those in the capitalist class that run the music business.

Episode 5 - Damizza (Helped Break Eminem and Jay Z on The Radio)

Though hiphop went mainstream in the 90s, it wasn't until the early 2000s that gangsta rap dominated all other sub-genres and effectively monopolized the landscape. This was in no small part due to support from radio stations like Power 106 in LA and Hot97 in New York. Damion "Damizza" Young had influence over both and was the Senior Director of Programming at the former. By keeping artists like Jay Z, Eminem, Ja Rule, Snoop Dogg and Dr Dre in constant rotation, he helped establish their careers and mainstream appeal. But this came with pushback from not just his employers, but even major labels who were uncomfortable with the power he wielded. Damizza and I talked about some of the challenges he faced from 1997 - 2004 whilst employed at Power 106, from issues with the station's parent company to threats from executives at Sony Music to stop helping certain artists.

Episode 3 - Jacob Slichter (Semisonic Drummer)

In the late 90s, hardly any bands were more ubiquitous than Semisonic. Thanks to their breakout hit "Closing Time", they shot to the top of the charts and cemented themselves as rock stars of that era. As the band's drummer, Jacob Slichter enjoyed the upsides of that period, from limousine rides to arena shows and TV appearances. However, what he didn't know was the vast amounts of payola needed to make their music successful. Their record label spent millions of dollars paying radio stations to play their music, and even if the results were ultimately positive, it left the band in debt up to their ears. Jacob and I chatted about his early days as a musician, how Semisonic came to find success, what it's like being signed to a major label, and how payola worked in the 90s.
