Quote of the day, from
skyecaptain:
Why on earth won't someone who wants to talk about Taylor Swift's "image" please listen to her album fucking ONCE before they write things about her? PLEASE.
Have only read some of the essays, but of the ones I read Chuck's was the only one I understood.

My guess is that in the general broader market for AnCo, the fans don't like Taylor, but the fans of AnCo who are or became critics do like at least some Taylor, or at least are willing to acknowledge that someone like Taylor could be good. Anyway, you should peruse The Singles Jukebox, because lots of critics there are repping for some indie, whereas only one or two of those people dislike Taylor Swift, and some of them prefer Taylor to the indie they like. Whereas the full-throttle anti-indie people at the Jukebox are much more anti-indie (not that there are a lot of full-throttle anti-indie people there).
But the article I was referring to, which was dumb about Taylor, may not have been written by an AnCo fan.
And now I have to go away for several more hours.
