The dog days are over.

This is totally my favourite song right now. This chicky is gonna be big. Well, she is big in the UK already but a voice that big is gonna be big everywhere I reckon.

Like I said they won't let me embed the original video, but you can watch it here. It is quite good in a disturbing May Day kind of way. She is so good live that it doesn't make too much difference though.

There's something quite lovably bonkers about her - yeah, she's huge over here.

WHO is it? Couldn't see the video due to 'copyright restrictions'... blah-blah...

You like breathy, don't you?

Lady Fi, it's Florence and the Machine. She is Florence and the machine is in her head, turning the cogs and making the mouth open and close.

Kirsty: she is playing live next month and I wanna go! She is sold out already in London though :(

Ladyfi: sorry, maybe I should give up on the embedding, it really is not happening!

6000: sometimes I do like breathy, yes. However I would not describe Miss Florence Leontine Mary Welch as breathy at all. I would describe her as lung-y. She has a good pair, that is one powerful voice!

Yeah, I think she's brilliant too.

Just read in the paper this evening that she and her band's just done a small acoustic gig somewhere in London and it's apparently amazing!

Shit why do I always learn of these things only AFTER they're over?!

Dora: me too. In South AFrica you know there will be a gig MONTHS before, cos the ads will be on tv, posters will be everywhere. Here you are just supposed to... know. But I guess if you are a dedicated fan then you will know.
