Podcast appearances and mentions of Jessica Hopper

Amphitheater shows, DeKalb Illinois, and the influence from the greatest hits of Doo-wop CD. Jimmy Whispers "“We're not so different anymore,” Jimmy Whispers proclaims on the title track of his long-awaited sophomore album, The Search for God. A lot has changed for everyone in the past few years, and especially for Jimmy. In another lifetime, he was that sweet kid from Chicago who stole our hearts with his aw-shucks Midwestern attitude and his knack for writing catchy old-time melodies, who legendary critic Jessica Hopper once called the city's “greatest new homegrown musical enigma,” who turned a mixtape of iPhone voice memos (Summer in Pain) into a profound racket and covered the city in cryptic anti-police street art and zines. If you caught a glimpse, it was exciting, but it was just a warm-up to his second act. As for today, Jimmy Whispers is alive and well in Los Angeles. He's still making music—quite a lot of it. He's got a blossoming new career as a music video director and filmmaker. He's become a co-writer for others including Drugdealer and Dent May. He's got a side hustle as a valet parking attendant, a 1988 Buick Reatta, and a new commitment to making life-affirming art. Jimmy has always been a dreamer, but it's a different man who's wearing the mantle these days. The old Jimmy was raw, whether pouring his heart into a demo or flinging himself off stage in a cathartic act of theatrical self-destruction.The new one has started to find his center and a sound that sparkles and shines, although the wild spirit that's always animated his work still hasn't been tamed. After embracing sobriety in 2019, and now as a filmmaker sharing the stories of lesser known Los Angeles community members, he's brought his dreaming down to earth, while turning its direction even further out."

The other day a friend of mine asked me if I liked being a music critic. “Music critic?” I asked. “I'm not a music critic.” And I really meant that. Yes, I write about music. Yes, I give you my opinion on certain things. Yes, I recommend songs that I enjoy. But I don't think I'm a critic in the same way that or Jessica Hopper or or are critics. I don't think I'm giving you deep insight into particular pieces of music. I mostly write about trends.Nevertheless, I love music criticism. So, when I came across a huge database of reviews from the last two decades, I knew I had to start crunching some numbers. As always, this newsletter is also available as a podcast.

*This episode involves discussion of sex work, sexual assault and racism. Please use discretion when listening.* Jessica Hopper was introduced to pole fitness in the mid 2000's when she stumbled upon S Factor Studio and quickly became an instructor. Throughout her 14 years with the studio, Jessica witnessed countless abuses of power at the hand of the company's founder, Sheila Kelley. With compartmentalization and focusing on her students, Jessica trudged on until the company's reaction to the murder of George Floyd and the BLM movement couldn't keep her silent any longer.

On this Summer Friday, we've put together some of our favorite recent interviews, including: Jamelle Bouie, New York Times opinion columnist and CBS News analyst, talks about the many other moments in United States history, besides the massacre in a Black neighborhood of Tulsa, Oklahoma in 1921, where White Americans committed organized acts of terror seeking the destruction of Black communities and neighborhoods.

Jessica Hopper is one the most insightful rock critics working today. A long-time contributor to the Chicago Reader; she's been a columnist for The Village Voice, Chicago Tribune, and Punk Planet; the music consultant for This American Life; the editorial director for MTV News; and a senior editor at Pitchfork and Rookie. For over 20 years, she has consistently been covering women in music who women care deeply about through a feminist lens, from Liz Phair to M.I.A. to Janelle Monae to Hole to Bjork just to name a few. Her knowledge is deep, her opinions are surprising, and her writing style is fearless which is why so many music fans return to her work again and again. The extensively updated and expanded new edition of her career-spanning book, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic came out July 6, and on BUST's latest Poptarts podcast, she explains what being “first” really means, how she helped wake the world up the crimes of R. Kelly, and the challenge of “making people care.”

Olivia Rodrigo's summer breakup anthem “good 4 u” is filled with the kind of ebullient angst that makes us want to spontaneously dance around our house and belt the lyrics out with abandon. Whether it's the creeping baseline that pulls us in, or the cathartic release of the chorus, we can't get enough of this track. And we're not alone, it seems. The song debuted at #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, and like its predecessor “Driver's License,” has fueled and been fueled by viral TikTok memes that helped solidify the song's position among 2021's summer jams.  Those TikTok memes range in format, but tend to play off of one unavoidable observable of Rodrigo's “good 4 u” - just how beautifully it syncs up with Paramore's 2007 pop-punk “Misery Business.” The two songs share some of the most common building blocks in pop music, from their 4, 1, 5, 6, chord progression to the opening note of their choruses. Those links have led critics and fans alike to wonder aloud if “good 4 u” indicates the emo-slash-pop punk revival we discussed back in May is here to stay.  In the second installment of our Summer Hits series, producer Megan Lubin goes searching for the musical roots of Rodrigo's ebullient angst, and uncovers two histories - the first is the sound of emo as it branched off of punk music in the 1980s, and the second is of women raging on the microphone through time, from the blues to country, to Olivia's chart-topping confessional.  Lubin gets help from the rock critic Jessica Hopper, who reminds us of emo's gendered origins: “It became prescriptive. The narrative was always girls were bad and they never had names” and takes us on a journey through Rodrigo's rage-full forebears. We're still thinking about her lines about women in pop and the boxes we try to put them in. “People just need to stop trying to draw it back to something that a man did before, and realize that teenage women have completely remade the landscape of top 40 pop in the last 15 years.” More: Jessica Hopper's The First Collection Of Criticism By A Living Female Rock Critic Helen Reddington “The Forgotten Revolution of Female Punk Musicians in the 1970s” nikjaay's “misery 4 u” mashup Music Olivia Rodrigo - good 4 u Paramore - Misery Business Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the U.K. The Clash - London Calling Minor Threat - Straight Edge Rites of Spring - Drink Deep Dashboard Confessional - Screaming Infidelities Bessie Smith - Devil's Gonna Git You Nina Simone - Break Down and Let it All Out Alanis Morissette - You Oughta Know Miranda Lambert - Mama's Broken Heart Carrie Underwood - Before He Cheats Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together Learn more about your ad choices.

In her 25 years as a music journalist, Jessica Hopper has profiled the doyennes of modern rock and pop music: Björk, Kacey Musgraves, St. Vincent, Liz Phair, Robyn, and many more. Her reviews run the gamut from the latest Nicki Minaj album and the “mobile shopping mall that is the Vans Warped Tour” to the only album by D.C.'s first all-women punk band, released three decades after they broke up. The new second edition of The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic expands on the 2015 one. That the provocative (and mostly accurate) title still works six years later points out that rock criticism has even fewer women in it than rock music does.

Welcome to the second episode of Reading the Globe, a new original weekly podcast produced by AudioHopper. Host Michael Washburn summarizes, synthesizes and criticizes the week's most important and fascinating stories. This week, Reading the Globe considers:CNN's story by Matt Egan noting how Robinhood got hit with the largest fine ever levied by the Financial Industrial Regulatory Authority. FINRA accused the trading platform — which feels like a video game and thus has attracted and probably addicted tons of young people who don't know what the hell they're doing — of harming millions of customers. “The fine imposed in this matter, the highest ever levied by FINRA, reflects the scope and seriousness of Robinhood's violations,” said the agency's head of enforcement Jessica Hopper (no relation to AudioHopper).As is usual in these kind of financial settlements, Robinhood “neither admitted to nor denied the charges.” But Hopper seemed to take a swipe at the famous Silicon Valley ethos when she said, compliance with FINRA's rules “is not optional” and cannot be ignored in an attempt to “‘break things' and fix them later.” FINRA paid special attention to the suicide of 20-year-old Alexander Kearns, who died in June 2020 after seeing a balance of negative $730,000 in his trading account, which was a mistake on the platform's part and cast unfavorable light on the videogame-like nature of the colorful interface of the platform.National Review's fascinating July 1 issue is devoted to the theme of Occupied Wall Street: Woke Capitalism and the Radicalization of Corporate America. As David L. Bahnsen details in an article, “The Jack-of-All-Trades Fed,” the body is now expected to pursue social goals in addition to an already vastly expanded roster of functions related to monetary policy, interest rates, and the solvency and stability of banks and financial institutions.Under President Biden, a body once charged with pursuing sound fiscal policy in a politically neutral manner now is also supposed to address the racial wealth gap and deal with climate change. In the eyes of some progressives, those twin imperatives may already represent the real “dual mandate” the Fed must pursue at all costs.For years, the world had relied on the tiny island nation of Nauru for its rich deposits of phosphate, the key ingredient in fertilizer. By the 1990s, strip-mining has depleted its easy-to-access resources so the country re-invented itself as a tax haven and quickly became a center for money laundering. Now, to re-enter the good graces of the first world, the tiny nation — just 8 square miles — faces a choice. As a story in the Cook Island News details, Nauru can clean up its banking laws and turn to environmentally devastating deep-sea mining. Or it can starve. The world's wealthy countries face the kind of “environment vs human misery” that will surely become more common in the coming decades. And more...

“What matters is what you like, not what you are like" or so says Rob Gordon, the protagonist of High Fidelity. In this episode, we look back at the 2000 film starring John Cusack, and ask if there's value in the idea that our favourite songs, films and books reveal who we are. We talk about music snobbery, cultural gatekeeping and the politics of taste in the original film and the 2020 television remake starring Zoë Kravitz. Films and TV referenced in the episode:Say Anything (1989)High Fidelity (2000)High Fidelity, Hulu (2020)500 Days of Summer (2009)Almost Famous (2000) The OC (2003-2007) Other links mentioned and clips used in this episode: 6:00 - Opening scene of 500 Days of Summer10:30 - John Cusack, NYT interview (2020)17:00 - The Rap Against Rockism, Kelefa Sanneh (2004)19:40 - Beam Me Up Softboi Instagram account20:27 - Men Explain Music to Me, Kim Kelly22:49 - James Acaster, Perfect Sounds, BBC Sounds 33:31 - Janet Jackson, I Get Lonely 38:21 - Fan Girls, Hannah Ewens38:30 - Jessica Hopper tweet

Host Rachel Yoder talks with music critic Jessica Hopper and author Alissa Nutting about everything from productive stalking and self doubt to parenting as a writer and early failed forays in poetry.

Music journalist Jessica Hopper has been writing about misogyny, sexism and abuse in the music industry for more than two decades. When reacting to the fallout of Burger Records because of sexual abuse and misconduct, she says abuse in the music industry is nothing new. “Historically within music for male artists, women’s bodies, particularly young women’s bodies has been seen as their right. That it is a reward for playing a good show, etc. That it is part of what power can get you in these spaces, which is access to women,” Hopper says.

In this mini-episode of Hit Parade, host Chris Molanphy is joined by Jessica Hopper, acclaimed critic for publications like Rolling Stone, The New York Times Magazine, GQ, The Guardian, Elle and Bookforum, and author of the books The Girls’ Guide to Rocking, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic and Night Moves. Her deeply researched September 2019 piece for Vanity Fair, “Building a Mystery: An Oral History of Lilith Fair,” informed and helped inspire the latest episode of Hit Parade. Jessica and Chris discuss the reasons for the festival’s success against the odds, the legacy of its acts big and small, and what a future evolution of a Lilith Fair could look like. Next, Chris quizzes a very special Slate Plus listener with some music trivia: TJ Raphael, founding co-host and producer of “The Bridge.” TJ originally conceived of the Lilith Fair episode as she departed “The Bridge”—so Chris has invited her back to talk about her earliest memories of woman-fronted alt-rock. Then Chris finally puts TJ in the trivia hot seat.   Podcast production by Asha Saluja.  A special Hit Parade announcement: Like many media organizations at the moment, Slate is getting hit pretty hard by what's going on with the economy in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic.

In the introduction of her book, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Critic, music critic Jessica Hopper writes: “The title of this book is for those whose dreams (and manuscripts) languished due to lack of formal precedence, support and permission. This title is not meant to erase our history but rather to help mark the path.” Growing up as a girl in love with progressive rock in conservative Venezuela, I never felt there was a space for me to voice my opinion and fandom. Using Hopper’s book title as a call for women to create and take up that space, I explore what it means to be a female music fan in a world that’s still dominated by male voices, both on and off stage. To learn more about Jessica Hopper and her work, visit her website. Her book, The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Critic is available here.

Ten years ago, Skechers Shape-Ups took the world by storm. The shoes were a miracle. They melted our fat, sculpted our hips buns and thighs. And the best part? We didn’t have to do any extra work. All we had to do was put on a pair of Skechers Shape-Ups, and BOOM! Instant workout! Except… well, the shoes didn’t quite live up to the hype. Then Brandi tells us an alarming tale (doesn’t she always?). When Tina Herrmann didn’t show up for work one day, her boss immediately sensed that something was up. She went to Herrmann’s home, broke in, and discovered a grisly scene. There was blood everywhere. Tina, her two children, and her friend Stephanie Sprang were missing. Investigators rushed to the scene. The clues led back to a man named Matthew Hoffman, whose home was filled with leaves. And now for a note about our process. For each episode, Kristin reads a bunch of articles, then spits them back out in her very limited vocabulary. Brandi copies and pastes from the best sources on the web. And sometimes Wikipedia. (No shade, Wikipedia. We love you.) We owe a huge debt of gratitude to the real experts who covered these cases. In this episode, Kristin pulled from: “Skechers will pay $40 million over claims that its sneakers toned muscles,” by Ashley Lutz for Business Insider “Skechers Shape-Ups lawsuit: Woman sues saying ‘toning shoes’ caused hip fractures” by Elisabeth Leamy for ABC News “Skechers to pay $40 million for exaggerated shoe claims,” by Brett Barrouquere for the Christian Science Monitor In this episode, Brandi pulled from: “Killer Stuffed His House With Leaves, Kept Kidnapped Girl on Bed of Leaves” by Jessica Hopper, ABC News “What was in the home (and mind) of Matthew Hoffman?” by Allison Manning and Holly Zachariah, The Columbus Dispatch “Excerpts from Matthew Hoffman’s confession” The Columbus Dispatch “Missing Ohio Trio Were Stabbed to Death; Bodies Found Stuffed in Hollowed Out Tree” by Dean Schabner, ABC News “Ohio town grieves; hollow tree that held 3 bodies removed” Associated Press “Matthew Hoffman, Ohio Killer Who Hid Bodies in Tree, Pleads Guilty” by Edecio Martinez, CBS News

Written in taut, mesmerizing, often hilarious scenes drawn from 2004 through 2009, Night Moves captures the fierce friendships and small moments that form us all. Drawing on her personal journals from the aughts, Jessica Hopper chronicles her time as a DJ, living in decrepit punk houses, biking to bad loft parties with her friends, exploring Chicago deep into the night. And, along the way, she creates an homage to vibrant corners of the city that have been muted by sleek development. A book birthed in the amber glow of Chicago streetlamps, Night Moves is about a transformative moment of cultural history—and how a raw, rebellious writer found her voice. Hopper is joined in conversation by Josh Kun, author and winner of a 2018 Berlin Prize.

The firebrand music critic has a new memoir, chronicling the formative time she spent in a gentrifying Chicago in the mid 2000's.

Current Day is the follow-up release to Martin Van Ruin’s critically-acclaimed debut, Every Man a King. The collective project from some familiar Chicago faces (members of Derek Nelson & The Musicians, Jenny Dragon, Planetsexploder), the new album sees the seven-piece band exploring increasingly modern sounds while building upon the ideas that led critic Jessica Hopper to write that their debut was “one of the best local albums of the year; a sprawling folk-rock work with vintage country and chamber elements … an album in a classic sense,” for American Songwriter Magazine to say that “fans looking for Chicago’s next Wilco may want to check out Martin Van Ruin,” and for the Chicago Sun-Times to write that “[t]he Bob Dylan and Neil Young comparisons are inescapable for this new folk rock supergroup.” The eight-song release was recorded over a series of sessions in 2017 at the Music Garage, and was recorded and engineered by Mike Lust (Tight Phantomz). Radio One Chicago airs live every Thursday night at 6p cst on WLUW-FM, 88.7f or WLUW.ORG

The First Collection of Criticism by a Living Female Rock Critic (Featherproof Books) Jessica Hopper's music criticism has earned her a reputation as one of the firebrands of the form, a keen observer and fearless critic not just of music, but the culture around it, revealing new truths that often challenge us to consider what it is to be a fan.  With this premiere volume, spanning from her punk fanzine roots to her landmark piece on R. Kelly's past, The First Collection leaves no doubt why the New York Times has called Hopper's work "influential." Not merely a selection of two decades of Hopper's most engaging, thoughtful and humorous writing, this book serves as a document of the last 20 years of American music making and the shifting landscape of music consumption. Through this vast range of album reviews, essays, columns, interviews, and oral histories, Hopper chronicles what it is to be truly obsessed with music, the ideas in songs and albums, how fantasies of artists become complicated by real life, and just what happens when you follow that obsession into muddy festival fields, dank basements, corporate offices or court records. Jessica Hopper is a music and culture critic whose work regularly appears in GQ, Rolling Stone, The Village Voice, and theChicago Tribune. She is a senior editor at The Pitchfork Review and the music editor at Rookie. Her essays have appeared inBest Music Writing for 2004, 2005, 2007, 2010, and 2011. Hopper was the longtime music consultant for This American Life. Her book, The Girls' Guide to Rocking, was named one of 2009's Notable Books For Young Readers by the American Library Association. She lives in Chicago with her husband and young sons.
