I wrote this for Gobshout. I added some bits to it the other night when I was a bit drunk. Maybe you can tell? Or maybe I should do a Lester Bangs and have an addiction to cough syrup so I can write better!

Eliza Doolittle.
For every singer that is tipped to be big, there’s always one or two that are slightly ignored. I don’t like that. I particularly don’t like this happening to singers or bands that I love.
Eliza Doolittle is beautiful and talented. I’m sure some twit will compare her to Kate Nash just because it’s easy to lump them all with the same comparison every bloody time!
This is her cover of Creep by Radiohead. I’m not a fan of Radiohead to be honest, and I do love this cover. The emotion in her voice and the setting…it’s just wonderful.

What Happens When….
…. you take a musical genius, a DJ and the best singer that’s around right now?
Well, you get a 6 minute track called Here Lies Love. Flo is on the vocals, David Byrne and Fatboy Slim do the rest. It’s bloody good.

2010 Grammys.
Lady GaGa and Elton John Medley. If they did Tiny Dancer I probably would’ve cried.
Beyonce looking gorgeous as usual : Performance.

There’s a Marina & The Diamonds tour in May too.
The gorge Ellie Goulding is doing a few dates in June.
Oh, and The Strokes are recording for the new album!!! Also Garbage may be doing some new tracks/album!!!

Florence + The Machine-Hurricane Drunk.
Here’s the video to Hurricane Drunk by Florence + The Machine. They’ve changed the song a little bit, sort of like they did with You’ve Got The Love and I have no idea why. I’ve watched the video a few times and I like it now. At first I was unsure. But, no video will top Dog Days Are Over…that’s just brilliant. Running through a forest in a tux?! AWESOME.
One More…..
I love White Lies and I love Florence. So, them doing a song together=EXCELLENT.
It’s from last year’s NME Tour. Flo stage dives, which if you’ve ever seen, you know how insane it is! She NAILS this. They should record it together and release it. Also, her entrance is pretty cool..leaping onto the stage. There’s two songs in this clip, Flo is on the last one.
Florence…In A Church!
I’m moving tomorrow..so I have no idea when I’ll be able to update this. So, I shall leave you with Florence performing Cosmic Love in a Church from the other night. The quality is alright. But, it’s Cosmic Love…in a Church, which is just beautiful!
Tickets for the UK tour in May go on sale THIS FRIDAY at 9am. Pre-sale was today. I’ve got mine! 🙂

Music Go Music- KCRW.
I love Music Go Music. I’ve loved them since mid last year. They just have this, I know it sounds crap, but they have this vintage sound…like Camera Obscura..which is probably why I love them! I think an album is due out this year. It’ll be amazing.
