Re: Taylor Swift

Re: Taylor Swift
Apparently there was a concerted effort by the Swifties to butter them up before the review was posted

Re: Taylor Swift
I listened to the two tracks posted a couple of pages back - not bad at all. I was pleasantly surprised
This is the first time I've given Taylor a listen

Re: Taylor Swift
I've not watched the Netflix doco. I still enjoy having sex with my wife, and something tells me she'd lose all respect for me if she caught me watching that.VinylGuy wrote:yeah, its good.

Re: Taylor Swift
I wonder, what is the precedent for reviewers stylizing album and song titles in all lowercase? There are no doubt hundreds of albums where the album and song titles are stylized in all lowercase in the album art, but reviews use the correct formatting. Is it some weird demand in the press kit?VinylGuy wrote:just read the review and its an awful classic pitchfork one.

Like, I’d give her career output to date a 6/10, and those other guys a 2/10. Not even gonna bother trying this new one.

I imagine the editors of Pitchfork as cramming in a few hours in between band practice and their barista gig.
