Charli XCXssentials / general charles chat

[COB]

Feadz now a chartered accountant (maybe)

 

[Jark]

has Uffie done anything since?

 

[COB]

has Uffie done anything since?

An EP in 2019 apparently! Who knew

 

[GNL]

has Uffie done anything since?

Yeah she dropped an EP I think.

She had a song called Drugs which is very good if a bit

 

[COB]

Paradise

 

[Jark]

home stretch now with some hi-nrg pitch shifted hot nonsense from the vroom vroom ep SOPHIE kindly taking us to the RAVE!

 

[GNL]

I'm still mad at moopy REJECTING Uffie every time I tried to make her happen on JKBX.

 

[GNL]

These happy hardcore vox

 

[COB]

The collaboration with THE queen of PC Music

 

[ZenGiraffe]

 

[Jark]

all 3 of this last trio have big "closing track" energy to me. So Over You got a bit lost on Sucker but it's huge. that chorus...

 

[COB]

Always loved So Over You

 

[Jark]

TELLMEBEBEWILLYOUEVERREGRETMEEE

 

[GNL]

She has a lyrical fixation about ROSES that'd make Tennessee Williams blush

 

[Jark]

I remember the day Gone premiered. I was at a drinks with some friends so I couldn't listen live but I checked the reaction and everyone was LOSING THEIR MINDS so of course I briefly left the party to listen to it and promptly LOST MY MIND ALSO

 

[COB]

They're making me LOATHE

 

[COB]

The video featuring Charli and Chris having a bit of CAR FUN is a treat and a half, too.

 

[Jark]

Christine's garbled English lyricism is also iconic

am I a SMOKE?
am I the SUN AND
WHO DECIDES?

why do we KEEP
when the WATER RUNS?

 

[Tisch]

Where we at?

 

[COB]

Ne me cherche pas, je ne suis plus là

 

[Jark]

also love LOVE that the og lyric was "I feel so unstable, fucking hate my LABEL!"

quelle surprise that she got censored

 

[GNL]

How I felt listening to Gone for the first time

 

[Jark]

Where we at?

bitch...

 

[COB]

Where we at?

You're The One just starting

 

[Jark]

the GROWLY, CRUNCHY verses erupting into the huge SUN DRENCHED PANORAMA of the chorus is really what makes You're The One. it's like the clouds parting and the sky opening up. what a song.

 

[Jark]

I'm dancin' in the darkness
three years before, i was feelin' so heartless...

It's almost a bit WILLIAM ORBIT.

 

[Tisch]

bitch...

You're The One just starting

Oh I didn't plan on joining I've just come off a WhatsApp chat and need to finish my wine.

This one's good. I've always liked the True Romance album but haven't heard it for ages (as I've not really been into anything that succeeded it...)

 

[GNL]

This is the best

 

[COB]

This has been just the ticket tonight! Thank you so much @Jark

 

[Jark]

I'm actually sad this is over I love this bitch to death.

thanks so much for joining COB, GNL, Zen and (I guess) Tischy

 

[ZenGiraffe]

Currently being exposed to the Japanese Boom Clap and it's actually everything.

I'd say I GUESS Zen too with some of his nonsense to be honest

 

[COB]

Currently being exposed to the Japanese Boom Clap and it's actually everything.

This is correct.

 

[Cerro de Casa]

Sorry I missed this gang. I LOVE HER.

 

[Jark]

I'm making this a general discussion thread for Charli. because there's so much of that

on a total Charli VIBE tonight and honestly so thankful for the gifts she has bestowed. Tears, ILY2, Emotional... *melts*

 

[Jark]

*paging Charli correspondent*

@COB do you think she has music in her still that's as good as her best stuff? the last two albums didn't really hit for me

I hope she has an album of proper non-commercial PC Music stuff ready to go for when she has fulfilled her contractual obligations. Mainstream Charli is fine, but she shines when she leans into the weird and wonderful

 

[COB]

I think the last two albums are some of her best work so maybe I'm not the best one to ask But yes, I think there's plenty more good ones () to come.

I hope she has an album of proper non-commercial PC Music stuff ready to go for when she has fulfilled her contractual obligations. Mainstream Charli is fine, but she shines when she leans into the weird and wonderful

I also agree with this.

 

[COB]

Happy birthday Charli! 30 today
