Megan McCauley's Tap That

I link Megan McCauley's "Tap That" wherever necessary, but I've decided it's time to embed it. Think of it as mandatory listening for those wanting to participate in the Ke$ha-3OH!3 convos - Max Martin and Dr. Luke combining Salt-N-Pepa style hip-hop with hard-rock tune-pop back in 2006. (Dr. Luke is a producer and co-writer of Ke$ha's "TiK ToK

Shellback is Swedish, but Luke is American, born in Westerly R.I. (that's a beach town) and centered in New York City, and my feeling here is that he's the main player (though hard to know). I couldn't tell you where these guys actually do their work (Sweden or the U.S. or where), though Luke must've spent huge hunks of the '00s having to stay mostly in the States, since he was in the SNL band until '07 - though for all I know he and Max and crew send encrypted files back and forth to each other through mediafire or something like that. Benny Blanco is younger than you are by about four years I think; is centered in the Northeast, seems to work with Luke frequently (I'm just looking things up on Wikip as we speak). Was co-writer and co-producer on 3OH!3's "Don't Trust Me" and he's all over the Ke$ha album; his overlap with Luke on it is "TiK ToK," "Blind," and "Dancing With Tears In My Eyes." Without Luke (but presumably with others) he's on "Blah Blah Blah," "Party at a Rich Dude's House," "Your Love Is My Drug," and "Slow Motion" (which must be a bonus track I've not heard). (All this according to the not-always-accurate Wikipedia.)
