Not if you were the Last Producer on Earth

Wait, who is burning witches?? Yikes, better move to Austin! Oh wait, I'm prohibited from travelling overseas. Death.

So there’s some drama related to Olivia Rodriguez and Taylor Swift and whether TAYLOR should be credited for writing some of Olivia’s new tracks on her album. also if you watch this video from this mix master magic man, who I love! Jared Germaine, my man points this out here -

Lol thanks Jared……SO! I believe Taylor Swift's boyfriend produces both of these artists, he won the Grammy for Producer of the Year (yeah right…lol).

So he re-uses some melodies for the filler songs for his artist’s albums. Meh. BIG DEAL. People don't buy albums anymore anyway, let alone listen to whole albums. It sometimes takes me years to actually listen to an artist’s whole album.

Because it's not fed to us that way like it used to be. Also, full albums aren’t as good as a whole album used to be. EXCEPTION - Britney Spear's filler tracks were always really bloody bad though. 

Taylor Swift could be an exception the other way, I find she has albums of hits. I like her whole albums usually. Sometimes with Taylor, her filler tracks contain some pretty intense and dark lyrics that maybe she doesn't want to portray too publicly so she puts them on the filler tracks, and they are awesome, "COURTNEY LOVE" awesome. 

There's that one that goes, "their burning all the witches even if you aren't one, they got their pitchforks and proof their receipts and reasons. Their burning all the witches even if you aren't one........so light me up, go ahead and light me up!" LOL. Rad.

Didn't hear that one on Taylor’s NPR tiny desk performance, haha.

It's on Reputation, it’s a great whole album. So her boyfriend is gooooood. I don't even know if he did that one, Jack Aranoff stalker face prob did some of it.

But albeit to say, her boyfriend has obviously fucked up here! Or, just doesn't give a shit. But, I assume it's an accident. #whoopsie 

He probably did the dodgy and changed like one note so it's legal. #badboy.

I don't know the laws around music production... (neither does Taylor Swift's bf apparently. lol. Did we not learn anything from band, THE VERVE. "Who?" You say........exactly. lol). 

....but I wonder if you can just change the key of a song and it’s a different song? Because depending on how dramatically you change keys, it can sound like a totally different song. 

Hallelujah is a great example of this, from Leonard Cohen’s original to Jeff Buckley's cover version, very different. But Buckley wasn't denying it was a cover lol. Imgine he was....lol.....Leonard Cohen took something like one year to write the lyrics to it, and this kid is just taking the cred and dies before the court date (conspiracy - or was he killed).

But to take one year to write a song, that alone Is kind of enough to be pissed off that someone was even covering it! Worse! People still think Buckley wrote it, he didn't even need to deny it, people assume way too much. They listened to whole albums back then, but they didn't read the inserted cd sleeves with writer’s credits on it, did they?

I liked the cd sleeve, especially when the lyrics were in it. How good was that! haha.

But AS IF a young kid like Bukley could write a song so vast and detailed and wise. And you could say but, "Hurt" by NIN was written when the lead singer was 19 years old! And I would say, “yeah but if you listen to the lyrics they are from the heart and authentic, but still very teen angst/depression in so many ways. Over- dramatic etc.”

Halleluja is wise.

Sorry, what was the original topic I was writing about? lol. Oh well. Leonard Cohen is a god btw. xx <3
