But if the AV Club doesn't obsessively cover Taylor Swift, what other media outlet will? It's not like she's inescapable and omnipresent in all media!

Remember when Jewel made that generic-sounding pop song (or was it an album - I never actually followed through on learning about it)?

I know AVC music coverage has been sort of WTF-y for a while now, but still…

Yeah, that was an utterly WTF moment for me. I have no idea on what planet The Woods is considered "just okay," but it's not a planet I want to live on.

Because I watched the Tim Burton "Batman" recently, Netflix recommended that I watch Guy Fieri's diner show.

Not a comment on the Silver Mt. Zion whatever album thingy - I don't know anything about it - but genuinely curious: how does something go from being one of the site's "most anticipated pieces of pop culture for 2014" to not even being reviewed? Given how much fewer pieces of music get reviewed here than movies and…

That's a Kala U-Bass, rather than a baritone.

What else do you expect them to fill the site with between Taylor Swift thinkpieces and month-old viral detritus on Great Job, Internet!?

I don't care about any of these people. Can I just write everybody involved off as some brand of awful and get on with my day?

Yeah, Berman/Braga's gradual fizzle and departure was in part what got us into this "let's reboot it as a braindead action franchise!" thing in the first place.

"One Direction TV Special"

I don't know if I'd say that *every* time they've brought in outsiders it's failed artistically…

I've listened to a bunch of Case's solo work, and I know it's good and I enjoy it somewhat, but it's weird - I much, much prefer her in other projects over her own stuff. She's phenomenal in the New Pornographers, and I also recently discovered her old cuddlecore band from the '90s where she played drums and did some…

I miss actual colors in movies. Prepare for this remake to almost certainly be drenched in the teal & orange color grading that 99% of all movies are required to use these days.

For Our Consideration: This 6.8 Seconds of Taylor Swift's New Single May Herald the One True New Religion

I don't know or care about this game at all, but I will say that watching Griffin McElroy (of My Brother My Brother and Me) posting quick videos on Vine of many of the bad/broken/weird moments he experience reviewing this game was pretty funny, so two thumbs up I guess.

Yeah, I was hoping the D/FW location would actually open in one of the cooler parts of, well, D or FW, but it's out in the 'burbs not near anything good.

"Licensed music only really needs a catchy chorus."

Yeah, "writing for Gwen Stefani solo albums" should be Exhibit A in the case for banning somebody from ever interacting with music again.

Hey, some of us would love to be able to walk into a shop and still have to pay cash, rather than being 32 and thus not young/cool enough to have innate knowledge of which sketchy hipster gets which strain of weed in our neighborhood and have to awkwardly ask this 22 year old girl we know to buy it for us like we're…
