Feel like you could make a drinking/bingo game out of Charli XCX:
- Makes reference to the club
- Says b*tch, f*ck etc
- Does random stripper move
- Arms in the air
- Seizure inducing rave lights
- Autotune

Morrissey in town tonight. Maybe one for the separating the art from the artist category but I saw him the year after I moved to Manchester in 2004 and it was a moment. Still, can't get this out of my head when I think of him these days

🇧🇪 Belgium
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇨🇾 Cyprus
