Placing my bets on tonight’s Oscar winners. I may be losing some money tonight but I’m doing to document this here and forward it to my gambling buddies. And yes, I’m aware I’m a pansy for betting on award shows rather than sports events. Shove it.
Side note: Could you believe how incredibly difficult it is to not judge someone based on their looks? I’m terrible at being neutral.

You are not the Smiths. You will never be the Smiths. Stop blatantly ripping off good 80s pop music. I mean, really? You couldn’t even change the chord progression OR the key the song was in?

Mazzy Star is probably one of the most underrated bands of the 90s, which is hard to believe because their music is so easily accessible (usually bands can only use the same chord progression so many times, but they get away with it). Talk about beautiful winter music. This entire album is it.
