Jack Antonoff on Bleachers, Taylor Swift and creativity

[@annamariesieberns9894]

He is so grateful for his success, and that is something that you never take for granted. Way to be, Jack!

[@jeanettek.943]

Nice little story on Jack. My favorite Bleachers song is Don’t Take The Money! It’s so good! He is definitely a music guy!

[@Mmcay]

Taylor swift references that song in You’re on Your Own Kid 😉 (the jokes weren’t funny…)

[@Shwee113]

I still listen to that one 😮

[@SonomaBill1]

I'm not a Swiftie by any measure. But I am a Bleachers fan. And I can see why his production sent her already massive career into a further orbit. And you member of the Whiners and Complainers should really do a bit of creative background and learn that Antonoff's roots/fandom in pop go to 80's synthworld. Much of which he wasn't even alive for . . . . just re-packaged for more generations.

[@michelecaron]

So proud of man you have become! Hugs to Rick &Shira ❤

[@michaelvaladez6570]

Kudos to him !!! May he bask in the light and soak up the rays..he well deserves it !!!!

[@D_Tuned]

Jack is savoring right now. As he said, it's all fleeting. Have fun while it lasts!

[@deaking9232]

Saw the Bleachers🍅 in Berlin this Year, it was so fantastic. And the Eras Tour of course (Heaven). Hope he wins Producer of the Year!!!

[@leif1075]

Why is a Taylor concert Heaven?

[@Mmcay]

Jack can’t even make it through cbs Sunday morning without being bleeped 😂❤❤ I love it! Bleachers forever 🥰

[@akashvalsan6609]

He even looks like a genius

[@leif1075]

How is that? How can someone objectively "look" like a genius?

[@ColorMatching]

stereotypes

[@NeonRadarMusic]

As an Indian, I find the American stigma against living with your parents as an adult quite odd. Not saying there aren't advantages to living away but it doesn't make you some sort of loser to live with your parents.

[@faaaduma6876]

It’s more normal in America compared to Europe.

[@chrishug5283]

The thing about music is that there’s something for everyone. So let’s let this guy enjoy without bashing him. You’re not being forced to listen to him or his music…move on.

[@netdoom]

@@chrishug5283 it’s ok to comment on how you feel about his music, art or whatever business practices someone makes. It’s to inform your own ideals and adds to discourse. That’s how you progress in STEAM. We should be able to criticize!

[@RocStarr913]

It doesn’t help when his music is being shoved down people’s throats.

[@netdoom]

@@RocStarr913 that’s the industry. It’s a machine made of many people that earn a living off of it. It gives them homes to show off on architectural digest. It is what it is.

[@fatbackfunk]

@@RocStarr913 Well, luckily we all have that ability to simply choose not to listen to one's music, regardless of how often it's promoted. In other words, music can't actually be shoved down one's throat unless, you, the listener, make the conscious decision to hit play on that streaming player, KZbin player, car stereo or wherever it is you 'listen' to music. In a nutshell, just don't listen to it, problem solved...

[@a_namelessghoul_greywolf2810]

Fun- some nights . I love that album

[@dogloversmith7139]

Jack is the coolest ❤

[@TheGreatTomDix]

He deserves all those producer of the year awards. Sounds silly to give it to the same person so often but it's proper! Still jealous of the time you get to spend in Electric Lady Studios BTW!

[@terryblair966]

He's great!

[@evilish888]

Margaret in the scene with Pitt driving the cad in Once upon a time in Hollywood is my fav She's sofa king sexy

[@Gary14305]

I always feel like Beethoven and Mozart and all those guys were only possible in that era. This is what they would look like now.

[@jmpmcv]

I can’t believe how square these mainstream programs play. As if the target market-who’s left for broadcast viewing-is about 70.

[@WaveReact]

Jack Offs Unite!

[@canoe2455]

0:00 down at the man in music business conference…

[@AlisongsLA]

I hate to say this, but I think any good songwriter could write songs like these. I know I could. However, I choose to write more sophisticated, more thoughtful songs. It's a choice.

[@Its303AcidBass]

My Brooklyn Jew friend Grant looks like this guy. I call him Grant Faggenoff.

[@netdoom]

It’s very uncomplicated music. Like very super simple. Yes he makes major popular hits… and safe boring music. Literally the same chord progressions. But that’s actually really hard to do and I’m just jealous… lol.

[@melissadavis4981]

Have you heard TTPD yet?

[@dalespencer11]

why can't we say actress anymore?

[@arktos298]

nope

[@bailysbeads2057]

Dessner/Swift is the better pairing.

[@leaanndye3109]

Yes and no, I like both of their styles and seeing them mesh 2 different albums side by side is phenomenal, but all three of them work very well together and they can mesh sonically into some amazing productions. I wonder what would have happened if Covid hadn’t shutdown the world, but we certainly wouldn’t have had Folklore and Evermore. How they went from strangers to 2 albums in less than 6 months I’ll never know. I wish we could have had them without Covid, but at least they kept a lot of folks employed.

[@bobertrobertson130]

bleachers, taylor swift, and creativity...three things that dont belong in the same sentence

[@steveconn]

Taylor feels like a new kind of fascist pop, omnipresent and threatening if you fail to show interest in it (and We Are Young was monotonously repetitious).

[@admiralkeelhaul]

Congratulations, this is the dumbest comment I've ever seen.

[@MRLONG758]

​@@admiralkeelhaul nope, you're just a taylor swift stan

[@admiralkeelhaul]

@@MRLONG758 I've never listened to her music, I was just pointing out that your comment was really dumb.

[@MRLONG758]

@admiralkeelhaul 1. Not my comment, 2. The comment makes perfect sense when you realize how almost unavoidable her music is and how absolutely cultlike her fan base is that come to her defense for everything and gang up on folks who criticize her.

[@JohnRandall7]

@@MRLONG758 Don't be foolish, the comment doesn't make any sense at all. And I'm not a Taylor Swift stan.

[@RocStarr913]

Jack Antonoff is arguably the reason why pop music sucks these days. His production style is too white and girly and lacks flair and soul and is pretentiously made.

[@W4TSKY]

I actually like (most of) Jack’s productions, but “his production style is too white and girly” literally made me burst out laughing 😂

[@joeybaseball7352]

Can we go a week without seeing Taylor Swift?

[@MJ-fy4yj]

Nope!!! 🥰

[@marykuettner752]

No

[@rhinowings2610]

This is Taylor’s world. We’re just living in it

[@Sdority905]

You clicked on it AND commented, so you are feeding the machine yourself...

[@larissasoares5988]

nooooooooooo

[@hermanmunster714]

Meh. Never heard if this guy. Explains why so much pop music is nothing but loops and whining ballads. Thankfully, never listened to a Taylor Swift song either.

[@admiralkeelhaul]

You seem like you have a really great personality.

[@RocStarr913]

Most producers are arguably not really household names. As far as what his productions consist of, it’s what sells, what did you expect?

[@JohnRandall7]

So you've never heard of him and never listened to Taylor, so you don't have a clue what you're talking about.

[@marykuettner752]

Poor you.

[@eggzacly]

okay open mindedness❤

[@Brandi2281]

Love Jack! He deserves each and every accolade! 🤌🙇🏼‍♀️🫶✌️
