yes, why not? The personal computer lead to the internet and social media and facilitated the end of the music era.

That is all true. I find it so weird, though. I am aware of Sade being a band. <3

The purpose of this thread was to put a little spotlight on older female acts. Stream them and appreciate them. I like them ALL. But - as is with streaming - you often get lost in your own bubble. Cyndi is great, so is Bonnie and everyone on that list. It's just a reminder to play them if you're interested in their music and musical legacy.

After the very cold summer, I put up my xmas deco in June.

The Saxony-Anhalt election is the scariest election in my lifetime. It could change everything. It could shake Germany to its core and be the beginning of the end of the country. The man who would become the minister president of the Bundesland, joked about climate change, heat deaths, deaths of German citizens and migrants. His wife who works at a school, reported a collgegue to the board of teachers in SA... and he was reprimanded bc he said that in his opinion the AfD is dangerous and a threat to democracy. SA could become the poorest area of the entire EU if the AfD can implement its plans for it. (yes, it would become poorer than Albania, Romania or Kosovo). Unfortunately, the people of SA want to die and live in agony. shrugs I doubt that our government will survive that. Especially since 2 more states will hold elections in the coming weeks: Berlin and Mecklenburg-Vorpommern. While the LEFT is expected to win in a landslide in Berlin (yass queen), the AfD will win MV as well. I was in Berlin 2 weeks ago and I saw only a very few AfD posters. The party is basically dead in the capital, but striving everywhere else, except for Hamburg.

By your definition of islands, every landmass on earth is one.

It's still the biggest island of the world.

I'm from Europe... i can't buy dirt with effing $$$. Worthless currency.

people who love xmas music.

Bc right now, Trump cannot seize international assets from western countries. It would ultimately destroy global trade. The EU could sell its Dollar bonds... and crash that currency. It's as simple as that... and yet, no country can trust the US right now. Nobody. Trump does what he wants and spits on international law. It's a rogue state at the moment.

I'm just a girls, standing in front of a stereo system, asking alexa to stream the latest Mariah vinyl.

It's not my problem that my intelligence goes over your head.

I am listening to it right now. It's so good.

yes, that R. Kelly was a great songwriter and producer. Your stance of "Sippenhaft" is very Nazi-esque btw. Seek help.

Germany did the same a decade ago.

HFIA is her best album.

doctor.

only the bag was ai.

I mean we've seen her live and out and about, and she looks amazing. Photoshop or photo editing is used by eveyone and I do believe, used since 1927. I have no problem when Mariah uses photo editing. She still looks like what is presented on the pics. I think, she's an incredible beautiful woman too.

AI????

Madonna is now younger than me. I am 12 btw.
