My favourite album of this year so far (and by a mile) is Imaginal Disk by Magdalena Bay, but I also want to mention MINISERIES 2 by SUMIN and Slom because I think it's super underrated!! It's R&B, Soul, and K-Pop. There's also Prece by Luiza Brina which is a pretty good folk album

My favourite song of the year is probably Cry for Me by Magdalena Bay, one of the best pop songs this year imo

same!!

have you tried a libreddit instance?

i hope everyones having a brat summer :)

hi bears

when i started paying attention to politics, it was because i was an election nerd, so i supported the liberal democrats for their support for proportional representation

then covid leftpilled me. we need another global pandemic

why the fuck does it take up to 3 years to get diagnosed with adhd in the uk, istfg i hate this country so much

wouldn't be eurovision without me hating our own entry

not sure if this counts as an "international hit" since jessie ware is pretty popular already, but

"Begin Again" - Jessie Ware

this song is just eurovision ready in every way (actually a lot of the songs on her album would be good eurovision songs)

i actually love it now, i looked up the meaning behind the song and "zorra" means vixen but misogynists use it in a derogatory way against women. she's reclaiming the word using the song

im way too eurovision obsessed... there were 7 different national selection shows happening yesterday and i spent hours simultaneously watching them and going on twitter to see what people were saying

my favoute song of the season won in norway though (it's a really good rock folk song based on a 1000 year old folk song)

a very camp song won in spain that i kinda don't get. it's a grandma singing about being a bitch and dancing with two half-naked men. ...actually that does explain why it won

also a song about eating bananas almost won in malta. and in ukraine, hundreds of thousands of people tried to vote on the miia app and they had to postpone the results until today because the app crashed. the hosts actually tried keeping the show going to see if the app would start working again and the english commentators sounded like they had given up 💀

smh, it should have been called Caelus but the guy who named it didn't know uranus was greek

at least we didn't keep calling it "georgium sidus" after george iii
