Regarding Spotify
At the same time, though, Billboard's choice to add on-demand streams into their metrics has put someone like Taylor Swift in a difficult position: as Macklemore sits at #1 with "Thrift Shop" (which lacks anything close to Swift's radi ... -
Target?
I'm glad you've highlighted these two campaigns, Tim, as they were respectively the campaign I saw the most of (there's a Walgreen's right by my office) and the campaign that seemed the most novel (I was disappointed not to find any Ta ... -
Sing-Song Swift
Thanks, Cameron. I'm wondering if we can't tie that into her sing-along performances at the Grammys. I was rewatching a few of the performances earlier tonight, and I felt the same way I felt at the time: she was singing along to the same things ... -

Short Answer? Yes.
There are a lot of questions here, perhaps too many to answer properly in 400 words, but my short answer is "Yes" to most of them. What's interesting about Academy procedures is that they are actually more transparent than ever before- with ... -

Erin, Some great observations here: it's also interesting to note that they screened only part of the pilot, cutting out the pivotal scene at the end of the episode which actually gives some glimpse of what The Event could be and making it into a tru ...
