Florence and the Machine - Take Care (Radio 1 Live Lounge Special) - YouTube[/url]

This = fantastic.

Guess who saw Florence again TWICE this past weekend? :D AND got her drumstick that she used for "No Light, No Light"? :awesome: (It has the Florence and the Machine logo engraved on it and it's amazing.)

 

Her performances are already quite different from the Lungs tour. She now has two permanent backing vocalists who hang off to the side. This really boosts "Cosmic Love" and "Rabbit Heart", both of which were calmer live than on record, but also makes newer stuff like "Spectrum" more varied (which was mindblowing, I might add). New songs sound very good, although I think "Seven Devils" might need a bit more fine-tuning live.

 

Pic time (I took like 100 pics of her alone, so here's just a little sampling):

 

 

 

Florence + The Machine will play on X-Factor USA tomorrow (DEC 15) night.

those are amazing pictures! I can't wait to get my hands on tickets!

Hey guys.

 

I'm pretty new to Florence and The Machine and their music, but i already know Dog Days Are Over, You Got the Love and Rabbit Heart from the first album and then i heard Shake It Out from Ceremonials which i really like. Anyway, i was thinking of getting the albums, but i realise there's Between Two Lungs and then there's a deluxe 2 CD edition of Lungs. :thinking: Is Between Two Lungs basically a re-released version of Lungs, and which would i be better off getting?

Going off of Wikipedia here . . .

 

Between Two Lungs, like the Lungs deluxe edition, has two discs. First disc is Lungs, and the second disc has mostly live performances and a few b-sides. It also has different sleeve art and liner notes.

 

I would go with the Lungs deluxe edition, but only because I prefer the material on its second disc (it has some great songs and a few demos of album tracks). If you really like the live performances, then I guess you should go with Between Two Lungs.

 

I hope that helps!

 

ETA: Then again, I'm just going to put the track listings under spoilers, and then you can compare them. :)

It's basically "more B-sides" vs. "more acoustic tracks and crappy remixes" so go for the deluxe edition and get "Heavy in Your Arms" and whatever other B-sides you don't get with that off iTunes.

 

A few months ago I would have recommended BTL so you could get "Strangeness and Charm", but there's now a studio version so there's no need for that anymore.

just in from Twittter, its going to sell out so quickly, hope i can nab some tix

 

MSG Entertainment @MSGEconcerts 9m BREAKING: @MSN PRESENTS @flo_tweet + The Machine at #RadioCity on May 8th! Tix on sale to general public on Fri, 1/27 @ 9am.

I'll be at the St. Louis show. Assuming I get tickets, that is. Never seen her live, so I'm pretty excited.

Tickets obtained for the Vegas show.

 

I'd go to the Santa Barbara show since it's 20 minutes from my house, but it's during day 2 of Coachella and I'll be rocking out to Radiohead that night (Flo plays day 3). So instead of driving 20 minutes, I get to drive 6 hours to Vegas. Fun times! (drunken Vegas wedding scene possible ;))

Ok, first of all, Florence Welch is a goddess.

Secondly, I love Florence + The Machine music and I've been listening to Lungs non-stop for a few months. I was sure they would never record something as amazing as their debut album but when I first heard Ceremonials... wow, I did have to admit I was wrong. It's brilliant. They're totally my favourite band (well apart from Coldplay obviously) and I'm looking forward to finally see them live next month :)

So yeah, I just saw Florence and the Machine for the 6th time. Maybe I might have some issues. Maybe.

Did anything magical happen? (I'm still jealous of you for obtaining her drumstick that one other time.)

Well, I did get into the afterparty, but didn't actually get to meet her because I wasn't "a VIP". Sad times.

 

Though I got pretty much 90 straight minutes of eyesex:

 

Very nice! :cheesy:

Enjoy the Flomance, guys:

 

Got my flights and motel booked for Flo on the 28th in Auckland! Missed her the last time she came to NZ but not this time.

 

Anyone else going?!

Hey if you get Fuse you can watch Flo on Tuesday at Radio city Music Hall

Radio City ‏ @RadioCity REMINDER: Tune in tomorrow @ 9PM ET! RT if you'll be watching! RT @fusetv: Ready...set....Shake it out: http://youtu.be/Uk3FNpKOWec #FloRadioCity

 

 

And she just announce Jones Beach woooo hoooo Sept 15th !

Amphitheater tour? Yeah, f*** that. Like I said on Twitter, I'd probably take a bullet for Flo, but shows at the Hollywood Bowl are worse than 50 bullets.

FINALLYYYY! the wonderful and amazing Cookymnstr was able to get us great seats for Jones Beach, I have tried to see her 4 times to see and her and now at my own amazin Jones Beach

I have the sudden urge to go see Snow White and the Huntsman. Problem is that film doesn't come out for another 3 weeks. :\

Does this have anything to do with Florence + the Machine?

 

Well, anyway. Probably unrelated to what you guys are discussing: Shake it Out is a good song.

Flo has a new song in the soundtrack for that movie. ;)

Oh, that makes more sense. ^_^
