There aren’t many pop artists who are at the top of their game 40 years into their career. Let’s be real here, pop music is often considered a young person’s game, one that generally favours younger artists. As we’ve witnessed here on Encore with Justin Bieber, Destiny’s Child, Britney Spears, Usher and others, careers can start in an artist’s pre-teen years, but they often slow down as the decades go by. But there are always anomalies, and that’s where Kylie Minogue comes in. Making her first musical appearance back in 1985 at the age of 17, Kylie Minogue - or simply Kylie, sans last name - has officially been in the music industry for 40 years now. Of course, that’s not any kind of record - Tony Bennett had an 85-year career! - but when it comes to consistently maintaining relevance in pop music, Kylie might be in a league of her own. This is the story of Kylie Minogue's 'Can't Get You Out of My Head' with newly unearthed audio from Kylie Minogue herself.

Olá, pessoas   Nesta semana estou novamente sozinho, mas esse episódio é uma sequência do que conversei com o Caio nos anteriores. Todo aquele papo me lembrou de um cara que eu gosto muito, mas muito mesmo: Adam Curtis. Se você nunca viu uma série ou filme dele, não perca tempo. Mas, como eu sei que nem sempre dá tempo de fazer isso, resolvi testar uma coisa diferente: peguei uma parte do primeiro episódio da série dele, Can't get you out of my head, traduzi e fiz pequenas adaptações para virar um roteiro para podcast. Vamos ver o que vocês acham. Lembrando: se você gostar, o mérito é todo do Senhor Curtis, se não gostar, a culpa é minha.

Marianne Eloise has had the same Fall Out Boy song stuck in her head for over three years. "It's Hard to Say 'I Do,' When I Don't," an relatively obscure cut from the band's 2007 album Infinity on High has taken up permanent residence in her brain as the ultimate earworm. Everybody has had a riff or a melody stuck in their head, but not at this . Eloise, a journalist and music writer, decided to turn her malady into a story. Her pursuit of the science behind "stuck songs" led her to our unique bureau of forensic musicology. On this episode of Switched on Pop, Charlie and Nate talk about earworms: what they are, why are they so catchy, and how we might get rid of them. Then, Nate confronts his own stuck song: The Lemon Twigs's "In My Head," and in talking to the two brothers behind the group, finds a novel approach to giving an unwanted musical guest the boot.

GUEST: Grigor Atanesian - investigative journalist at the BBC. ---------- SUPPORT THE CHANNEL: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/siliconcurtain https://www.patreon.com/siliconcurtain ---------- INTRO: Vladimir Putin believes that the digital information space is a battlefield, yet we in the West are perhaps late to realise that fact. The rise of the internet in the 21st century has been accompanied by unprecedented levels of polarisation, division, and coercion. At the same time democracies are being hit by a huge range of different, and rapidly evolving hostile state activities. Not all of them have their origins in Russia, though clearly many do, and the scale of the threat is only likely to increase in future. #ukraine #ukrainewar #russia #zelensky #putin #propaganda #war #disinformation #hybridwarfare #foreignpolicy #communism #sovietunion #ussr ---------- SPEAKER: Grigor Atanesian is an investigative journalist with the BBC. He was producer for the “Trauma Zone” documentary series by Adam Curtis (BBC Film), and the Associate Producer for “Can't Get You Out of My Head” documentary series by Adam Curtis (BBC Film). As part of the team that created the unique and powerful 'Trauma Zone' BBC documentary, he was awarded a BAFTA for Specialist Factual programmes in 2023. ---------- LINKS: Putin's Influencers: The bloggers selling Russia's War - BBC News https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_8tYjsFKFw Russian pro-war influencers are generating big advertising revenues from their social media coverage of the conflict, the BBC's Global Disinformation Team has found. Known in Russia as “Z Bloggers”, they spread fake news about the war by embedding with military units, sharing exclusive footage from the frontline, and calling upon young Russians to enlist in the army.
