i speak spanish as well. ( cuban-colombian ) decent. born and raised in miami. what type of spanish music you had in mind?

Nice. I'm Mexican, so we probably listen to different type of Spanish music. I'm thinking corridos and spanish rock like Mana, Los Enanitos Verdes, etc.

Hahahaha oh my God I'm going through my old myspace right now

First time since it died. This is hilarious. And embarrassing!

although the lyrics are somewhat inane I think this is one of the most powerful vocals in the Rok en espanol genre from the early 2000s...i can listen to this gal sing for HOURS and it takes my breath away.

I wish I still looked like I did from my myspace days SMH LMFAO then again I was brunette then. Sadly brunette is my natural color. Been thinking if going back but idk.

[BigGuy951]

I'm glad I don't still look like that. My face looked even more like a soccer/basketball than it does not lolol.

And why "unfortunately?" I love dark colored hair. Solid, dark colored hair is more attractive than dark hair with streaks imo

[BlackWidow]

Meh... I got sick of the brunette look. Went blonde in 2008 or 2009, can't remember. I REALLY want my hair to be long so I can put sexy curls in it but I have to cut it every time I get my hair done :/

[BigGuy951]

I'm so glad I'm a guy All I need is a high and tight military style haircut and I'm good for 2-3 weeks

here is a song from the canadian progressive rock trio Triumph.
The guitarist Rik Emmitt is easily the greatest acoustic rock performer from the 80s.
better the clapton, better then Vaughn this song is called The blinding light show.
Half way through the song it stops cold and goes into one of his clasical guitar solos.
This portion of the song is called Moonchild.If you dont have the time tp listen to the whole song go to 3:18 and listen to this guy play...

with the upcoming release of lincoln ,It got me thinking...is Daniel Day Lewis like the greatest actor ever?
I know these things are so subjective, and there are plenty of other talented performers, but I cant remember ever watchin a movie he has made where he didint just kill it.
The last of The Mohicans
In the Name of The father
There will be blood
gangs of New York
The Boxer

Dude is epic....I hate him actually(lol).

StephKyle7....DUDE! I was just talking about him to some friends like I do every time he has a film come out.
He is one of the Greatest of all time! He transforms into his character like no modern day actor can. He really, really is that person and is almost unrecognizable as himself. I love that cat's acting ability, he should win the academy award for his Lincoln role, I can't wait to see it. He truly is EPIC!

[stephkyle7]

yeah...he makes me sick with envy.
His talent is obscene.
Like I said ,there are some wonderfully talented actors out there.
Huge names that really are passionate about the craft....
and then there is this guy.
When I first saw the trailer, I didnt even recognize him.

In there will be blood, he was terrifying in his autheticity of an obsessed sociopath, there was no "evil" in his actions, just a fever pitched sickness of depravity.

some actors find a role that suits them and make a career out of one film.This guy just takes whatever hes given and brings it to life in a way others simply cannot.
I have no doubt, Lincoln will have the whole world talking about him again.

admittedly, my exposure to spanish or hispanic music is rather limited. i do like the occasional santana and los lonely boys song though. and shakira, u can never go wrong with shakira.

my spanish is good enough to get the jist of most songs, but i'll be lost in a rapid-fire convo, that's for sure!



.... o my hell, amos!!! she's a true siren if there ever was one. but then again, i'm a big fiona apple fan.

Don't know if you ever heard or watched Tori Amos but she's another Goddess:

Agreed. She's fantastic, especially live. Lol, love the way she writhes on her piano bench.

Ever heard of Regina Spektor? If not, you should.
