LIDL

I mean, I think I get it why some people never get any official CDs, especially if they are young and still in school. I was them at one point, but now I have a job and make a living for my own, I can spare some for bands that I favorited and buy their new releases, and catching up by buying their old albums as well. Still, I limited myself only for the albums mostly, unless the singles are maxi and the title song did not make it to the album. For these, I usually bought it late when I already know it isn't included in an album. 
 
Also, another thing is, there are so many VK bands in the scene, many are names that most people never heard of before, one died, twenty more sprouted. For me it isn't a big issue. But for someone else who are really really into this scene and want to check every one of them, that might be problematic unless they are wealthy. Hence, illegal downloads came into play in this community. I am not sure how it's like in Japan, but communities abroad likely to commit in illegal downloads more since opportunity to get original CDs are limited since they are either not released locally, or they are too expensive to get (CD cost and shipping combined are usually not a small amount). As for iTunes, most bands are still not putting their music there. And those who does, well, getting iTunes Japan credits seems like arduous work. Some sellers even wanting to know information like ID card, Bank statement, electricity bill scan to prove someone is legit, before they can purchase iTunes credits, which is unnecessary. Like, WTF, honestly.

Ben is so powerful. She giveth, she taketh, and she removed herself because she was done.

Ben is the winner of this season anyway. She killed the entire thing.
At least the newest rumours were not true and Morgan will not end up dead in front of a club tomorrow morning. lol

I've been very uninspired for a number of years now, and I really struggle to feel any emotion anymore. Loud music and a whole bloody lot of caffeine are about the only thing that allow me to work, albeit very sterile and not on stuff I enjoy.
Getting back into some sort of community...and getting back to VK instead of listening to the same old music I always do, I hope this can propel me in a more positive direction.
Already I've finally been able to pick up a brush again (or I guess in this case, a paint bottle lid lol) thanks to listening to Sukekiyo so I will start my thread with it, though it is unfinished I am just happy to have done something. 

Another canvas I've had sitting under a sheet for almost a year. I hope to actually complete

Something from last August. Gold red black and mossy greens are my main love.

I usually do stuff digitally because it's way more efficient and my wrist nerve is fucked up...but it's way harder to get exposure digitally so I've had to move to paint.

ink thing from a couple years back

I guess I'll just post one thing per day from now on to not be too spammy. Maybe it will revitalize me further and then I can post new things.
 

I found Drag Race Thailand online - with subs!!
 
 

I like dusty but I feel like she'll be the first to go. I'm hearing sooo many clichés here, it sounds like I'm watching ep 1 of The Apprentice. It's one of those seasons where I'll have to actually watch it because the trailer just makes these Queens seem as bland as possible. 
 
That episode of All Stars was a mess btw. They can't make it any more obvious that Bebe is a mole. 

S10 feels like Family Feud, lowkey.
We have Aquaria, drag daughter of Sharon Needles.
Vanessa Mateo, drag daughter of Alexis Mateo.
Asia O’Hara, drag mother of Phi Phi O’Hara.
and
Miz Cracker, drag daughter of Bob The Drag Queen. 
 
LOLOL
 
also, next week episode gonna be gagging!

I actually apprehensive about ASH, it can go both ways. I hope they don't go the random scream and grunts way. Cannibal Corpse cosplay is cool every now and then but I wish to hear melodies from DEG any day. The did it for Fukai, so I know they can do re-recording justice. May VK Gods hear my prayers
 

They may as well remake Sustain the Untruth at this point.

Not fond of Diru doing self-covers in general so I don't look forward to the ash cover at all, I hope the title track will be good at least.

I didn't really get mad at Sasha's win at all. lol She deserved it and to top that she even delivered the most iconic scene of the entire season in her finale lipsync.
I was rooting for Trinity though and I can't wait until she comes for the AS4 crown.

The disrespect.
 
To Versailles, I mean

He can solo? I mean without Versailles would anyone even know who he is? (besides the bastard child of Shindy and Kajimo)

Wait, what happened to his project AMERICA?
 

Gagged at the fact Season 10 will start the week after AS3 finale in March!

That shade of pink hair is what I am after! 

Confirmed, Kaya is generating new gender: Kayasexual

I love that everyone is vocally BIG MAD when they go home.
 
idc about Milk's delusions, I'd still sit on his face  

I love Milk but it was time to go, any longer and she would've had some kind of break down. 
 
Yeah that actor dude is hot but the real  gem here is Chi Chi. In and out of drag this bitch is like my ideal bae and I can't get over that LOOK. 💦
 
I hope she can get over her insecurities because I know she's talented but she's a self saboteur. 
 
Also Kennedy gets my respect after her whole performance this ep. STOP doing one on ones. It's stupid, just get to it. 

Yeah, pretty much. The only difference is that the limited A/B are wider in dimensions (so the regular's pic is a bit "chopped off" at the sides).

one of the b-sides has been confirmed to be a cover of RuPaul's "Geronimo"
