Simple & Clean and Hikari are both iconic and incredible. Hikki always trumps the competition with like the least effort whenever she has a new release. Cannot wait for her comeback.

Heart Station and Ultra Blue are incredible from start to finish. She offers so much more than what the mjaority of the west knows her for.

I can't wait for her album either.

For sure.

I was initially put off by Heart Station and This is the One cause they sound so much more "simple" than the arrangements on Exodus and Ultra Blue, but I've grown to love them for their straightforward nature. Deep River, Exodus, and Ultra Blue are still my favorite albums from her though.

I feel like I've only ever heard straight people use the term "significant other". "Partner" maybe swings a little more gay, but only a little.

With Heart Station I understood the more simple nature of it cause it was telling a story of love, loss and life after death. Take 5 is one of my favorite tracks cause of the themes on the album.

This Is The Recycle Bin is not her best work imo Exodus is better by miles.

Well I facebook stalked people from my work and finally found that dude who I thought might be gay. He's totally straight. There goes all my fantasies.

edit: I thought all this time "significant other" was a code word for when a person didn't want to give away that they/someone they knew was gay. Like someone else at work mentioned that the guy had a significant other. I thought that was pretty much code for "boyfriend."

you poor things were probably using that term so awkwardly without realizing it

"do you think he has a wife or girlfriend, or is he maybe a signficant other kind of guy?"

Yeah partner is neutral but very common to gay couples since they historically weren't "allowed" the term husband/wife. Since some committed straight couples say it too, it gets a bit more murky when your involuntary gaydar chime starts going off. Especially when a guy starts talking that you don't know much about and refers to a male partner a few times, only to eventually clarify with context that its only business partners. John Hamm and his ex used the term partner for years.

And then there's "confirmed bachelor," which is a whole different mess.

This man speaks the truth. I wouldn't say things went downhill it's just that by the time Heart Station was released she was tired and worked nonstop.

She was deemed a legend already before she even hit 30, it was time to take a break.
I feel this new album is what will breathe new life in her work.

Yeah, this is why I find that term easier to misconstrue for the reasons you stated.

She has done some good stuff, but (IMO, of course) not as good as her past stuff. That coupled with her hiatus have really made me lose interest in her, really.

About PC being awesome: we're getting Dragon Quest Heroes! Honestly, I'm not sure why I need a PS4 at the moment (that will change when Tekken 7 and KOF14 get released, though). And I'm currently playing Mad Max, it's pretty fun and it runs at 60fps, unlike on consoles. PC so gud <3

Great picks. Deep River and Letters are also songs worth mentioning.

It was instantly entrancing. And then when I bought the game, booted it up for the first time, and the PLANITb Remix in full proper form came on...

It was one of my huge "wow moments" in gaming.

Deep River album is GOAT. Speaking of Letters and Traveling, Shiina Ringo's covers of both tracks are some of my favorite things in JPOP.

So I saw 007 SPECTRE tonight because my sister wanted me to go with her and her new boyfriend (Pretty cool dude. He's really quiet which is nice because her 2 previous BFs were kind of annoying and came on too strong) Anyway, it was my first Bond movie. Incredibly repetitive, rushed/incomplete plot that kind of had no impact but I guess that could change if you follow the movies. The dude that plays Bond is boring and kind of ugly, and also it was incredibly unrealistic because the girl falls in love with Bond in like 2 damn days. Cool explosions and fights tho

Mission Impossible rogue nation and kingsmen were much better spy action films than bond. Actually even Melissa McCarthy's movie spy was better than bond

Rogue Nation was indeed brilliant, and Kingsmen is definitely in my top five films of the year for me. SPECTRE probably falls short at #6 or #7 - it was good, but it just didn't hit the spot for me, not like Casino Royale or Skyfall did. I'm yet to see Spy.

I think The Saint is a pretty underrated movie in the spy genre.

The_Saint_1997_poster.jpg

This fucking abomination? The only film to fuck up a classic spy series more than The Avengers? (no, not that one)
I know opinions are opinions and all that, but damn. No. Just no.

When it comes to (modern) spy fiction, I think that Breach probably would be my pick for the most under-well-maybe-not-rated-but-definitely-underwatched film. Not a perfect film by any stretch, but it deserves better than it has gotten.
And on the TV side there is the Worricker Trilogy (Page Eight, Turks & Caicos, and Salting the Battlefield), featuring the most insane cast (Bill Nighy, Michael Gambon, Rachel Weisz, Christopher Walken, Winona Ryder, Helena Bonham Carter, Ralph Fiennes and more) and some lovely old school-ish contemplative spy drama.
Oh and of course there is last years best TV show The Honourable Woman which not enough people watched.

...I shouldn't start on classic spy fiction, I have things I need to do (my sheets won't clean themselves, sigh).

I thought Spectre was entertaining (aka I wasn't bored while watching it), but damn is it a mess scenario wise. The whole thing makes little sense, I'm still not sure what was the villain's plan and what the urgency was, the ending is rushed and nonsensical, things happen seemingly out of luck, the few "twists" in there are telegraphed from miles away, it tries to connect all new Bond movies in the clunkiest way possible and it seems that the movie decided it wanted to be a slapstick comedy at random times.

Skyfall had a really stupid plot too but it at least felt a bit coherent and self contained. Also Skyfall was shot beautifully, this one is really uneven.

Overall I'm very mixed on it and I'm not surprised it's getting very mixed reviews.

Also had watched Casino Royale a bit before and it's a bit jarring seeing Craig looking so much younger. Still think he has beautiful eyes tho.

Got a loaner phone from Telus while my Z3 gets repaired/replaced and its an S5. I'm scared of using it because if it gets damaged its $150 for the fee.

The Nexus 6P I got a week ago is off getting repaired for a manufacturing defect, they aren't replacing it because I don't have the original packaging. >:-[
