charli xcx with christine and the queens - new shapes

[luka]

me and sheils think there needs to be a thread about this song and video

 

[luka]

sheils' theory, he told me i have to credit him, is that her fans are into her cos of what a rubbish amateurish pop star she is
teenie in front of the mirror with the hairbrush microphone

 

[luka]

but the whole video give off that impression, not pop stars but people pretending to be pop stars, thats where the fun is located to a large extent

 

[Corpsey]

I hate this song

 

[luka]

I hate this song

She has a very gay fanbase so maybe there's a camp element?

(I'm a fan of a bunch of her songs btw but i hate this song)

 

[Corpsey]

Hard to say it just gets on my tits

Stupid chorus hate it

sheils went to see her in concert last night and said the gays kept harrassing him for sex

 

[Corpsey]

You see this song isn't really that different from new shapes but I like this one


The video's embarrassing mind you

 

[luka]

i like that video

 

[Corpsey]

I'm glad you're back disagreeing with everything I say

 

[luka]

i always skip the caroline polachek bit its so embaressing

 

[Corpsey]

There's those chords again

Starting to annoy me now I'm noticing them all over the place

 

[luka]

she suks all the life out of it. it reminds me of a much better song actually, one of my favourite songs
where the third verse does a simlar thing

Something about this aesthetic – internet aesthetic

Everything filtered and ironised and unreal

 

[Corpsey]

But maybe that's just pop

 

[luka]

Something about this aesthetic – internet aesthetic

Everything filtered and ironised and unreal

thats the pretending to be a popstar aspect the lads were talking about

Something about this aesthetic – internet aesthetic

Everything filtered and ironised and unreal

Ironed and flattened
