This week we’re not about surly pop or introspective synth, we’re about…TOTAL NONSENSE! Yay!
Well it’s total nonsense every week isn’t it, who am I fucking kidding. Well guess what. You can fucking deal with it! If you don’t like reading total nonsense, don’t read QX Magazine! Go and read something serious, like War and Peace, or one of Miss Cairo’s Facebook statuses! Go! GO ON.
Still here? Right, now that you’ve all taken a day off from persecuting me (Joy), we can get on with it. NONSENSE POP! Nonsensey songs that you can march around London happily to, like you own the place! Hooray!
Kelis – I Don’t Think So
This is from her 2006 album, Kelis Was Here, which is, in my opinion, her best album. In everyone else’s opinion, it was her Halle Berry Catwoman moment. So not good. One of my favourite things about the album is the album artwork. Kelis running into a moonlit cityscape in a trenchcoat and a pair of Louboutins. SEMINAL. I have included a picture so you can look at it. I Don’t Think So is all about her saying no to a man who’s coming onto her. Not a totally original concept for a pop song, but it’s great!
Dragonette – Live In This City
I say banger all the time but I don’t care, I’m gonna say it again. This. Is. A. BANGER! It’s got Dragonette’s trademark happy plinky elctro/rock production, and it’s all about how amazing living London is! “I only live in this city because this city can’t live without me!” Quite right too.
Cobra Starship feat. Leighton Meester – Good Girls Go Bad
Pah! Even I’m rolling my eyes at myself a bit for including this. FEATURING LEIGHTON MEESTER! Fuck off. It’s such a guilty pleasure though. Perfect for falling out of limos drunk onto red carpets. I usually play it when I’m walking past film premieres in Leicester Square. I get such a swag on that sometimes, if I’m dressed right, the paparazzi raise their cameras a bit to take a picture, then decide not to. So there.
