Vulture checks out Stephenie Meyer's celebrity playlist, and it's all Stereogum-approved and shit. I wonder if Apple employs a person whose entire job is to create "hip" playlists for celebrities. If so, it would be awesome if that person got disgruntled and created a totally uncool playlist for someone as an act of revenge. Except that no matter how hard this person tried to make it lame, it would still seem cool! It's a paradox! This person would burn the midnight oil, toiling night and day over this Ultimate Worst Playlist Ever, but even at this, s/he would fail. That person with that fictional job at Apple just cannot win.

While saying "With-It" remains hilariously un-with-it.

It's funny to me that anyone is surprised that people like Stephenie Meyer and Rachel Ray like indie rock as if indie rock hasn't been the default music for every college-educated white person over 20 - whether or not they're "with-it" - for more than a decade. I'd be more surprised if they didn't have Pitchfork/Stereogum type stuff on their playlist. That cat's been out of the bag for a while now.
Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go watch Brian Williams vlog about Passion Pit.
