    Ricky Martin

    There's probably a very minimal audience (if any) for the Livin' La Vida Loca heartthrob papi Enrique Martín Morales, the Puerto Rican singer, songwriter, actor, author, humanitarian and the "Latin Music King" here on LB so let me just take this opportunity to toot my own horn and publicly declare my neverending love for him To be brutally honest I don't even listen to any other Latin music though I probably should, but his material just hits me and I've been both a fan and thirsting over him for a decade, no joke. He seems like such a kind and loving soul, a devoted father and husband, his energy is so serene and there's just so much warmth to him. I really wish I could speak fluent Spanish so I could understand some of the lyrics without having to look up translations and I wish I had been old enough to jump on the 90's mass hysteria bandwagon when he was big even in Finland, making appearances on some random ass Finnish TV shows and all that but I was a freaking toddler. At least it's easy to find CD singles without having to buy them overseas. I don't really care for the hits like Livin' La Vida Loca and María that much (though I admit they're good) as my favorite records from him by far are Música + Alma + Sexo released in 2011 and its 2005 predecessor Life, some of my most played tracks being Más and I Don't Care (feat. Fat Joe & Amerie) and more recently, Adrenalina (feat. Jennifer Lopez & Wisin). I'm also obsessed with Self Control covers these days so Que Día Es Hoy has been a real guilty pleasure of mine recently. Not speaking Spanish I haven't been able to connect with the 2015 record A Quien Quiera Escuchar as much as the other records, ofc they're mostly in Spanish as well but they have more of bangers (I love La Mordidita though). His latest EP PAUSA is pretty good but I kinda have the same problem with it. To conclude my fangirling, I don't know which I wish for more, for him to tie me up in some basement in his gorgeous Beverly Crest house and use me as he pleases or to adopt me into his loving family. But I guess my only options are to wish he'd release music more frequently and to aspire to age as gracefully as he has and peak in my 40s Oh and I'm still bitter my parents made me choose between his and Britney's concert tickets back in 2011 even though his concert was in our hometown. I just had to go with Britney Discography Ricky Martin (1991) Me Amaras (1993) A Medio Vivir (1995) Vuelve (1998) Ricky Martin (1999) Sound Loaded (2000) Almas Del Silencio (2003) Life (2005) Música + Alma + Sexo (2011) A Quien Quiera Escuchar (2015) PAUSA (2020)
  2. The nominees to represent Finland are a fucking joke once again... I am so done with the Finnish Broadcasting Company being in charge I just don't want Finland to participate anymore. Their songs haven't been released and they haven't even been officially announced yet - some Spanish ESC fan account leaked them on Twitter with receipts - but it's already over for us...

    Azealia Banks

    I wish nothing but good luck to the next tenants... I have nothing against Indians but it really took us months to get rid of the smell of curry and cumin in our current apartment so I can only imagine how bad it must be like in Azealia's after all the stuff she's been up to
  4. Exactly... she asks about the sound of the album and forgets the question over the course of like 30 seconds the broken chimney incident took? You'd think a question like that would be a big one, you are running a show focused on *drumroll* music after all. And then she just shrugs, proceeding to ask how 2020 was for Lana even though she had only negative publicity in 2020 because of all the controversies she brought on herself. How on earth is that a good idea unless she intended it as a trap? I have no idea who this Annie girl is (I have no reason whatsoever to listen to BBC as I don't even listen to the radio in my own country lol) but I can't say she felt like a true professional to me.
  5. So another Honeymoon/LFL box set with an ugly ass bland cover, a 60€ Times New Roman sweatshirt and a face mask that looks like a menstrual pad with blood on it. Cool.

    I just want Rebellion...
  7. Listening to the album like if only she still served high quality music

    Björk

    A track titled Hymn has recently been registered on ASCAP... could be nothing but with The Northman still scheduled to come out this year (as far as I know), maybe she's done just a little bit of something for the film?

    Britney Spears

    Happy 10th anniversary to Hold It Against Me, the song that turned me into a fan from a very occasional listener
  10. I've been thinking of watching it as well! When it first came out I was like aww hell no but now... hmmm.

    Animal Crossing

    Do people still play the game? My boyfriend got us a Switch just a week ago but idk if I wanna spend like 60€ on AC if it's completely dead also i don't know anyone who could play with me

    MARINA (and The Diamonds)

    lmao as a Finn I find the title of the remix just a little bit ironic as the word 'muna' is Finnish for 'egg' but also 'dick'

  14. Wonder Woman 1984 I loved the first one and Diana's one of my favorite DC characters but after all the wait and the trailers, the movie itself was somewhat of a disappointment... I didn't like the ridiculous way they wrote Steve Trevor back in and Pedro Pascal had way, way too much screen time - whereas Kristen Wiig, a definite highlight of the film, had way too little. She stole the show in every scene she was in and the Cheetah CGI wasn't really that bad, at least not on Cats level, so I hope she's making a comeback in the sequel(s) but I doubt it For an 80's film there were so many missed opportunities, like the use of color and uhm, synths - Hans Zimmer himself did the score and it's mediocre to say the least? The Sebastian Böhm remix of Blue Monday in the first trailer was so good I wish we had something like it in the actual film. I do love Gal Gadot despite all the controversy and I felt so bad for Diana in certain scenes; much like the ending of the first film, the end of WW84 also felt very melancholic

    Azealia Banks

    Lock this god damn thread up! Thanks for the entertainment but this has gotten way too out of hand.

    Britney Spears

    I discovered the conservatorship videos made by Deep Dive on YouTube just yesterday, I'd recommend watching them as they're very informative, long and very well made.

    Rina Sawayama

    Rina Sawayama Does It All, And Now She’s Ready To Do More Well fuck, when Kylie went to Nashville she recorded her worst album by far and also this...
  18. The aesthetic looks good but I'm still afraid the song and the album are going to be another Antonoff lullaby

    Cyberpunk 2077

    The release really has turned out to be a complete disaster And only because some greedy big shots wanted to take advantage of holiday sales... I also hope they'll add a lot more features in future patches and DLCs, the map is so gorgeous and detailed but there's nothing to do in the game apart from the main story and side quests and gigs - therefore I'm trying to take my time with the main story as I'm a bit afraid of running out of content with the way I've already done quite a lot of the side stuff so far. Night City was supposed to be full of life but like someone said on Reddit, it does feel like a breathtaking loading screen while you get from A to B. I genuinely like driving around and exploring (and once you get yourself the double jump cyberware, the city is your parkour playground) but it's such a missed opportunity with a lot of doors being [LOCKED], like why give me the notification of that on every single door? NPCs are lifeless, police spawns are absolutely ridiculous and they keep shoving the inventory menu in your face all the time. I don't even buy food in the game because I haven't felt like it's necessary at all and even if I wanted to grab some from a stand, you just get the inventory menu with no interaction from the NPC who's running the stand and definitely no animation of you eating whatever you just bought. What bugs me more though is the inventory menu at clothing stores, it would be at least nice to preview the clothes before purchase as they look a lot more different once they're on you. Now I just save the game before purchasing expensive clothing and then load the save if whatever I just bought looks like shit and I want my money back (you can also refresh the clothing they have on sale by saving and then loading the save before purchasing anything btw). It would also be nice to have the location names on the map rather than just the food/drink/jacket/etc. icon. On a more positive note, at least things can only improve from now on hopefully Oh and I'm still looking forward to the online mode unless it's been scrapped due to the current amount of problems.

    Cyberpunk 2077

    A useful tip to fellow players, you can get some legendary items like the mantis blades and monowire for free from certain crates. For example, you'd have to spend 100K for the legendary mantis blades at a ripperdoc which is a lot of money. There's videos on how to find them on YouTube. I didn't make any main story progress yesterday despite playing for another 6 hours, during which I focused on side quests and gigs. Getting eurodollars gets a lot easier by doing them, looting everything you can and hacking every access point you can find. I've spent a ridiculous amount on clothing (I know...) so I've gone from 25K to just a few hundred eddies a few times already. Yesterday I acquired and spent about 60K on cyberware - thanks to double jump being 45K - and just as I went back to being broke, I noticed I had got an offer on the iconic Akira inspired motorcycle Yaiba Kusanagi CT3-H; so I did a few gigs and quests more and managed to get the needed 22K in about half an hour. There's a lot of side quests and gigs and usually doing them is such a chore for me but so far I've enjoyed each of them a lot because they're all different and the characters are well written. The motorcycle is gorgeous btw. Edit: CDPR has finally made a public statement regarding the controversy:

    Grimes

    Listening to the DJ mix right now and it's quite satisfying but her saying "the cyborg popstar I play in CYBERPUNK2077 just released an album"... uh why couldn't you just put together at least an EP of your own unreleased music or something and release it under the Lizzy Wizzy alias. Would've been a lot more immersive that way... in other news Delicate Weapon has grown on me

    Cyberpunk 2077

    I'm 13 hours in and honestly I just love the game so much I'm currently in act 2, the world is so gorgeous and the story is so intriguing! I still haven't bumped into any major bugs and the minor ones that I can count on one hand have been visual like a couple of cigarettes floating in the air. The game has crashed on me a few times but luckily autosave has worked perfectly so far - I do save manually quite often just in case - and it takes about a minute to restart the game on PS5. My only complain at the moment is how all of the characters look so good but Keanu's face is shit compared to, well, everyone else and the minimap should cover a larger area while driving. I keep missing turns all the time if I don't keep constantly following the map. I still don't know how to effectively use perk points, I'm usually all about stealth but so far it has felt quite difficult to get through things without them ending up like gun wars. My favorite characters right now are Evelyn Parker (there's something very Blade Runner 2049 about her), Judy is so sweet and Takemura's a f-cking daddy, I'd kneel in front of him without hesitation. Romance-wise it's a bit too unclear who you can actually form romances with, I think Judy's a confirmed character but I hope there's options for men as well. Also I hope there's more of male sex workers around because the one on Jig-Jig Street isn't exactly it with the awful fedora he's wearing. Minor gameplay related spoiler alert I don't have a photo of my character right now but I'll post one sooner or later I'm looking forward to actually bumping into some clothing stores as my current wardrobe solely consists of clothes I've looted... I also ended up ordering the standard edition of The World of Cyberpunk 2077 last night, I want to consume all the possible lore there is. If you bump into a chip of the backstory of Grimes' character Lizzy Wizzy in the game, I'd recommend picking it up and reading it because it's hella interesting. I wonder if she's just a character you can see on TV or if there's a Lizzy Wizzy NPC actually walking around somewhere in the exclusive residential district of North Oak. Although I'm not sure if you can even get there... Edit: Here's my guy. I really just hopped on my motorcycle and went through all of the clothing stores I could find on the map and spent 15K just like that... and you can't even see the clothes here because this close up was the best shot lol.
