Apparently I found Lorde first.

Saw her live in DC on Monday and I'm still on a Taylor Swift high right now. She killed it with Out of The Woods, which isn't even a song I like that much.

I don't know, I read it for class in 9th grade and I know a lot of people who read it around that age. The content is dark, but it is definitely accessible for that age group.

Inkheart was such a lovely book, maybe I will have to give the movie a try!

I haven't been loving all things season 3 so far, but Norma's flashbacks may be some of my favorite flashbacks in the show's entire run. I don't know, maybe i just related to Norma's quiet and passive, yet optimistic and naive nature. I was cheering her on when she pushed that guy of the cliff.

This show was my absolute obsession for years. I was on fan forums and livejournals and everything. I saw everything through season 10 I think, then watched some sporadic later episodes. I think the last episodes I saw where some of the ones with the hockey team.

Somehow I got in an argument just a few weeks ago with my sister over whether Craig and Ellie got together at the end of that movie.

Honestly thought this show would go on forever. I think all the seasons from season 10 onward have like 40+ episodes, so saying 14 seasons doesn't even give a full picture of just how much they churned out.

To be honest, I'm glad he gave this interview because he almost has a point. Guys like Luke Bryan are always on lists for artists who made the most money in a year. Bro-country sells. If you want female country singers to be successful you need to support them and actually listen to/buy their music.

I absolutely hated Spongebob. I think part of that was colored by the fact that the first episode I ever watched was the Rock Bottom one, which I think could drive even the biggest Spongebob fans insane.

Also- "You broke my heart when you made me go to the gym and I had a heart attack!"

This was my favorite episode of the season, actually. I know people don't like Randy, but his meltdown here was memorable at least. And I loved "Use the knob!" and Lillian taking the gun out of his hand.

Well, I thought that case was a bit unfair as well (although way more understandable than this one), so I think we just have really different perspectives on what classifies as a ripoff.

Yeah, I think the artist's lifespan plus 70-ish years copyright law is really unfortunate. So I'm more opposed to Gaye's family suing on principle, I know it's within their legal rights.

I hate being in a position where I'm siding with Robin Thicke, but I thought this verdict was ridiculous. The idea of someone demanding money for someone else ripping off a 40 year old song they didn't even write irritates me as is, but this song isn't even a direct rip-off.

I agree with this. I was okay with the Native American story (although I understand why others would be turned off by it) because it was so outlandish and it seemed to me like there was at least some cursory research done, but the whole characterization of Dong just seemed lazy to me. I had some hopes that they would

You know, I hate this song, but they really seem like a bunch of drama queens.

I like how he paused before saying "I love James".

Tumblr's response to this is cracking me up. I swear if any other popular musician gave this apology they would still be dragged to hell and back, but since it's Nicki Minaj I keep seeing: "So good to see someone take responsibility and learn from their mistakes! When will your faves?!"

I've seen people buy the Beyonce and Taylor Swift albums, both of which are pretty hard to get on-line. But I don't know if anyone would actually buys CDs for less popular musicians even if they took all their music off youtube and spotify.
