Here is some Charli XCX because why not. I mean, I know at least one of you has a reason why not because it does annoy one of my friends when I post Charli. But to the rest of you I say why not. I have no particular reason aside from finding Charli XCX extremely attractive mixed with being slightly out of it this morning because a scam telephone call woke me up at 6:30. Who starts scamming people at 6:30 in the morning? Anyway, I think Charli XCX is stupid hot and ridiculously talented and what I really like is that she loves music. Which seems obvious but I mean in a way my friends and I that worked at a record store loved music. You would seek out new things, you would desperately want to share it with people when you found something awesome. I remember at some point in the late 90’s this guy I worked with just grabbed a random album because the cover was cool and on the back someone was credited as a zanzithophone player. No one had any clue what the zanzithophone was (later we found out it was a very short run musical instrument from Casio in the 1980’s that had a lot of major flaws, including no where for the spit to go when you were blowing into it so eventually they would sort of implode because they were electronic and would be filled with spit). Anyway, he came in the next day, shoved a copy in my hands and said I had to buy it. I did the same to others. That album was the classic In the Aeroplane Over the Sea. It was tremendous and I love knowing about it and I had a need to share. So Charli XCX feels like that kind of music fan. She made a long post here on tumblr just a couple of weeks ago with a list of female musicians she thinks everyone needs to hear. I have gone through it. Some of the I knew. Some of them I didn’t. Some of them are tremendous. Her radio show for Apple is similar, she seems to spend all her time trying to get people to hear music she thinks is great and is horrified more people don’t know. This is basically never her music. That’s a pretty big rarity among celebrity, spending all your time promoting someone else because you just love it and want others to know about it. I have seen it said she is too generous to be a successful pop star. But I love it. I imagine maybe somewhere deep down it was why I was drawn to her from the word go, the second I became aware of her I was into her. So today I want to fuck Charli XCX.
