Posted July 12, 2009 Picked up Florence + The Machine and La Roux's albums. Both pretty good. I felt a bit let down by La Roux's. Some big hitters but a lot of ok tracks. However, Florence + The Machine is awesome. I saw her about a year ago at the ben and jerrys festival. Was blown away and ever since i've been waiting for her to release the damn album and even went to see her twice more throughout the year. She is awesome and the album is awesome! Little video of her performing dog days are over live Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm loving her album too, she has a great style, and is naturally talented. Her voice is like brown sugar, super sweet and unrefined with its own flavour. Especially loving You've Got The Love. Makes me so happy! Rabbit Heart and Girl With One Eye are my favourites too. I'm really wanting to see her live, but I'm not sure if I'm around when she's playing.

Posted July 12, 2009 Shakira's new single is so damn wierd, I love it. The wolf howl in the chorus, and the "Thighs wide open" line are amazing. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I managed to get on it once though, looks like you have to sign up and unlock stuff. They're being cryptic on us again...

Posted July 13, 2009 ^ Have to agree there. That is a brilliant piece of music. I especially love the end where the choir comes in. That whole symphonic thing is just awesome. Really like it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've only heard the spanish version, and it sounded absolutely disco-tastic. Not sure If I liked it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 13, 2009 Clint Mansell- Death is the Road to Awe Audio From The Fountain. Stunning. His work for the score for Requiem For A Dream is also outstanding and is an essential part of the film. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I prefer the spanish one, because you can hear what she's saying clearer. The howl is a little unenthusiastic, so it sounds a bit silly. But it's a fun track over all.

Posted July 13, 2009 I can't get that song out of my head lately. That's all I have to say really... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted July 13, 2009 8 minutes for a song is nothing really Molly. I've listened to longer. But your right in saying that it's worth it because that ending is great. Will give it another listen later on after some Death In Vegas :awesome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 13, 2009 Can anybody reccomend me a Squarepusher album? I only have Just A Souvenir and I'm not so keen on it, if only because of the sound effects he uses. I really like Cooper's World but that is the only other song I have by him. Thanks in advance Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 14, 2009 (edited) Yeah true. Most of the music I like isn't exactly cuddly mainstream either. Jazz! Edited July 14, 2009 by ipaul Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted July 14, 2009 Lady Gaga does free gig for charity workers Lady GaGa delighted thousands of young charity workers in concert and vowed to make volunteering fashionable. The New York pop star topped the bill at the Orange RockCorps gig at Manchester Apollo in front of 3,000 people who each secured a ticket by performing four hours of voluntary work. The concert-goers took part in the music-led programme which addressed issues as diverse as social deprivation, urban regeneration and support for people affected by HIV. I'm actually impressed. Not neccesarily with her, but whoever thought of the idea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
