From helping induct Carly Simon, Sheryl Crow, and The White Stripes into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame to collaborating with Robert Smith (The Cure) on her upcoming album “you seem pretty sad for a girl so in love,” Olivia Rodrigo is a music fan through and through.
Last December, she sat down with Kathleen Hanna (Bikini Kill, Julie Ruin, Le Tigre) on our podcast, Music Makes Us, for a conversation about how the music they love (and envy) has shaped their own artistry. They talked about the performances that changed their lives, the albums that help them return to themselves, the power of rock music made by women, and how to use jealousy as a tool for self-growth.
Now released in-full on video, tune in to hear Olivia and Kathleen talk about where they’re finding inspiration — including Lorde, Alanis Morissette, New Order, Babes in Toyland, Chappell Roan and much more.
