Yes, I write about her a bit too much, but it’s needed! I’ll keep it short, here’s the video to her new one :

Florence Does A Cover!
I know, I know I should get some credit for writing about Florence 😉
Anyway, just found a clip of Florence covering one of the best love songs..well, one of the best songs ever. It’s Maps by Yeah Yeah Yeahs. If part of you doesn’t feel the need to cry- then you are made of stone!
La Roux- Bulletproof.
Is it as good as Quicksand? OF COURSE. Is it better than In For The Kill? Yes.
Bulletproof is a bloody good song. I can’t see why it won’t be massive (ooo Metric have just come on radio!). I reckon the album will be rather magnificent too.
Florence And The Machine (how many times have I written about her?!)
Have you heard her new single? Well, if you haven’t- let me tell you now that it is the song of the summer and probably the song of the year. The chorus is just so captivating, you will sing a long. You will sing a long LOUDLY. You HAVE to! It is a magnificent song. There’s a few tracks floating around on YouTube from her album, Lungs which is out in July I think? Or is it June? I cannot remember. But this single is amazing. I hope you love it. By rights, it should be Number 1 in the charts when it comes out. It’s beautiful!
Spinnerette’s new one!
It’s called Baptized By Fire. It is AMAZING, but what else would you expect. There’s a UK tour too in July, and the album is out in June.
The dates :
Manchester Academy 3 (July 12)
Oxford O2 Academy 2 (13)
London Electric Ballroom (16)
Newcastle O2 Academy 2 (17)
Glasgow King Tuts (18)
Deftones.
Firstly, sorry I haven’t updated this. Uni work took over my life recently, but it’s all over now! I handed in my last piece of uni work ever this morning.
Secondly, expect a review of Morrissey’s gig in Stirling from Monday 4th May either the Tuesday or Wednesday- depends how long it takes me for me to get over the excitement!
Thirdly (and the point of this post), Deftones are playing a one off at The Forum in London on 27th August. Tickets go on sale TOMORROW. Now, if this wasn’t in London I’d go. I want to go, but I really don’t like London.
That’s all for now 🙂
Camera Obscura
Yesterday I took a trip to a local record shop. It’s quite small, but I don’t really like buying my music from certain chain record shops (too expensive etc). So, I was looking through the CDs, I was so tempted to buy some vinyl, but as I don’t have my decks with me right now..I’d have nothing to play them on.
Lookin at me was the brand new Camera Obscura album. I adore this band, simply adore them. I cannot find fault in them. I think everything about them is beautiful. From the music to the lyrics..just beautiful. Seeing the new album right in front of me made me feel quite happy (I’ve got a really bad cold/flu and I’m not sleeping!) I had no idea it was out on Monday! I thought it was next week!
Right now, I think I am listening to one of the best albums of this year. I know it’s only April..but dare I say it, this album is quite summery. Tracyanne Campbell has the most underrated voice in music.
I’m not Scottish, but ya know..I reckon Scottish people make the best music! (This is based on my love for Shirley Manson from Garbage!)
The lead single is French Navy, which is damn good song. I love You Told A Lie and Away With Murder. Just a fantastic album that you need to go out and buy 🙂
Ladyhawke- Back Of The Van.
New video by Ladyhawke (I think).
This clip was uploaded over a year ago, but I’ve just seen it on TV! I could be wrong? Not sure. But hey..it’s Ladyhawke! 😉
Gossip.
Easily the best band I have seen live, and probalby the best band I will ever see.
They’ve got a UK Tour in May..so I’ve heard. I hope there’s a Birmingham date. I’ve only seen them 4 times, but I need to see them again! It’s been a long time. I’m even wearing my Gossip t-shirt today 🙂
Karima Francis.
For ages, I’ve been listening to Karima Francis..but I never knew what her name was! I’m sometimes crap at remembering names of bands/singers I like. But, I won’t be forgetting this one!
Her voice is beautiful. So beautiful. I think she’s on Jools Holland tonight? I know that Yeah Yeah Yeahs and The Specials are 🙂 and I think she is too.
Hopefully she’ll be rather popular this year, but to be honest..she probably already is!
