  1. They put Brandi Carlile in the pop category?…screw the grammys, back to “You and me on the rock” on repeat.

  3. vampire sexy list is a dudefest, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    and, i’m not gonna argue the Count being higher on the list than Brad Pitt, but also… pandering.

  5. I haven’t seen the second season of Rojst ’97/The Mire mentioned on AS, even though it has an awesome, badass lesbian detective who flirts by analyzing her crush’s zodiac sign! Talk about lesbians and astrology! Anyway, it’s a really good polish show, I just think it’s worth watching :)
