It would be amazing if Sanchez revitalizes himself in Philly, but... Fumble.

Professional basketball player plays basketball while looking professional: not newsworthy.

Hey, look, I get it. I'd be upset if I spent all that money on garbage shoes, too. At least you know better now!

No, to his and her credit, he's right. She is the only credited writer on that album.

You are correct and good on her. Seriously. Not enough pop stars (of either gender) take an active role in their songwriting.

No kidding. I mean, in certain eras, it was easier to discern "pop" from "rock" or "country" or "rap," but "pop" has always been, etymologically, music that is "popular." That's where the "pop" comes from and that's why the "pop" charts feature artists who are thematically worlds away from each other.

Also Chuck Ragan, Ray LaMontagne, Chris McCaughan, Brendan Kelly, Dan Andriano...

Jezebel (shockingly!) turns on people for no real reason.

THIS. Country has been the #1 genre in America, inexplicably, since FOREVER. Taylor Swift increased their visibility to the teen set, but fuck, if there's a genre that hasn't needing saving ever, it's country.

I have a theory that candy corn actually had flavor when it was first produced. Shitty flavor, but flavor.

The thing is that if he'd said "among the best young pop singer/songwriters," then maybe it'd be a passable statement*, but really, that sentence makes people like Ray LaMontagne and Chuck Ragan giggle profusely.

This. Most people don't go "finding" their "own" music at all and those that do often do it far later in life than the demogrpahic Taylor Swift is appealing to. Most people just turn on the terrestrial/satellite radio and listen to whatever is on.

You know, it's none of my business, but be sure you bring a hand towel or two for all your flopsweat and drool. That's just basic manners.

Plus, it's not like the N64 got Nintendo a shitload of bad will or "ruined their dominance" in the field. The N64 sold a shitload of systems and the Wii won the console war of it's generation. If anything, I'd say the Gamecube was a bigger misstep than the N64.

And someone ELSE knew before you did? Are you an idiot?

"If it had been you would you not have felt guilty if people had died?"

I don't know what kind of driver you are, but if two sketchy randos start honking their horn and flashing their lights at me on a somewhat rural road, the last thing I'm going to do is pull over and say "good evening, chaps; what seems to be the problem?"

Maybe this is just me (it's not), but if some rando starts honking and flashing their lights at me, I'm not going to pull to the side of the road to see what their issue is.

All of the other sisters you can't even prove exist?

Crying ebola is really riding the lightning, but I've always lived by the advice that if you ever need an ambulance (not let *knock on wood*), you tell 911 it's a heart attack.
