a-chan

I don't hate bands/artists, I'm just annoyed by some (like Kashitian). So when I hear them on radio/TV, I just change the channel.

Perez Hilton said today on his site that Flo will be touring the US this summmer (giving the 'source', take that with a pinch of salt). But this means no european festivals this summer :bigcry: I was hoping to catch her...oh well, I guess the rest of the world have the right to have her, but still, it's been a year since she has been in Europe...! But another tour....how will she hold it up at this rythm!! --edit--------- Found this, it's the american writer music association: http://www.ascap.com/ace/search.cfm?requesttimeout=300&mode=results&searchstr=2755073&search_in=c&search_type=exact&search_det=t,s,w,p,b,v&results_pp=25&start=1 Flo's full name is Florence Léontine Mary :lol: Léontine is such an old fashion name! Very common in the 1900-1920 years but not anymore...suits her well though!

If you're not broke, I would say go with the Flo.... :rolleyes: Flo on the Grammy's red carpet [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=h_Sk4DTuMB8]YouTube - Grammys 2011: Florence and The Machine[/ame]

I think you made a smart move to buy at the pre-sale actually! Tickets for Flo are really hard to get (not in France) but for her show in London, the pre-sale was sold out the minute it was opened (thx to some bug from Ticketmaster and co)... INSANE!! So I manage to get cheap tix on gigantours but we where way up on the upper gallery and we ended up in the stairs of the venue... :dozey: The tickets were sold in less an hour! I don't remember, is this the first time you're seeing her?? In any case, you'll have a blast :awesome: Please bring out some pics for your fellow flobsessed XD

She's still touring??? :stunned: Hey, ho Flo, stop touring and make a new album :whip: I don't know how she can take it, it's been more than 3 years she's been touring Lungs! She must be so sick of it?!! (I would at her place XD) Anyway, have fun and go with the Floooooo... [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7s6ESdFHdQ]YouTube - Florence getting groovy to Beyonce[/ame] :D

You saw Gaga?! (that what ironic of course.)

:lol: :rolleyes: And she litterally carried Aguilera when she fell out when leaving XD [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I0ev7O50VuE]YouTube - GRAMMY 2011- CHRISTINA AGUILERA FALLS[/ame] :laugh3: Does anyone know WHO is this Esperanza Spalding?? Never heard of her :inquisitive:

Flo's performance at the Grammy's!! Here the all tribute (she's doing back up vocals all along) but her solo is at 4min25 [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0v-SYKJC80c]YouTube - 2011 Grammy Performacne - Aretha Franklin Tribute (Aguilera, McBride, Hudson, Adams, and Welsh)[/ame] She did good despite the fact I don't think the song fitted her that well... And her voice sonded kinda like different from usual...

She was awesome as always!!!! I don't know how she didn't fall on that piano with those eels!

Back home, I watched the game at my parents house with my dad, which is always fun: two rugby lovers coaching the TV :D Very weird game! I think I was as angry and frustrated as Marc Lièvremont during the first half, which was a nightmare to watch. Our team was totally clueless in front of this irish team who was faster and better than us. We scored by penalties, but we produced NOTHING interesting during this first half. Second one was way better (well, wasn't difficult after the terrible 40 first minutes). With the entry on the field of "old" and experimented players, we finally found some solutions! Thx to Yachvili, Jauzion & Clerc. Medard's try came from a beautiful action (finally sthg good!) and I was impressed by our combativity during the sweatdrop period where Ireland was at 5m from the finish line...what a game on both side! We won this one thx to our strong scrum and some good fortune but the technic wasn't really there....still too many faults, hesitation, approximation...grrrrr!! Now I can't wait for the "crunch" in two weeks...!!! THAT will be a tough game!! I really hope we'll see good game on both side and a 'disputed' match ^^ (and personnal message to our coach: please, pick Yachvili as first half-scrum for that one, he's always at his best during games vs England)

Against Italy, it's not that difficult... :p I admire the heart of this team but I still don't understand WHY Italy has been allowed to enter the tournament...it's not a 'rugby nation'. I feel bad every year for them...They're starting a nice collection of wooden spoon... anyway, tomorrow we'll play Ireland... I'm not feeling it :confused:

Tahiti 80 always sing in english. Julien do both french and english. Here's one in english: [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5AhZKlCP8Aw]YouTube - Julien Doré - Just a deal ( live tv )[/ame]

If you want french bands release: Tahiti 80 is releasing a new album, here's the new song 'Darlin' (Adam & Eve song)', I love the music video! [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASpyNMJb9NE]YouTube - Tahiti 80 - Darlin' (Adam & Eve Song)[/ame] And Julien Doré is also soon releasing a new album called 'bichon' (wich is a dog race XD and you can see what a 'bichon' is here). It's the first single 'Kiss me forever', pity it's just a preview [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yndT1BezWMo]YouTube - Julien Dore - Kiss Me Forever (Extrait)[/ame] I know a lot of people in France don't like him but I can't help it, I do :heart:

So good to see new faces in this topic!! We were so few at the beginning... Found a very nice ITV of Flo's dad where he speaks about Flo, her success and how it affects her family. Very moving! http://www.guardian.co.uk/lifeandstyle/2011/feb/12/florence-and-the-machine-father-nick-welch and apparently, Flo will sing 'Think' at the Grammys. --edit--------- pre grammy ITV [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n-fubbn4Nkw]YouTube - Florence and the Machine Grammy Awards 2011 - GRAMMYs Guided by TurboTax[/ame] (and on another one Jared Followill from KOL said he loves Flo <3)

New post!!! Beautiful sea pic! I love what he said: :laugh3: and... :laugh3: Gary, please never change!

:bomb: :awesome: :dance:

New pic!!!!! From the oustide of the studio! LOVE the Darth Vader kite XD But gL says it's Jonnys..... :thinking: shouldn't it be Nathans?! He's the one obsessed with Star wars and collecting stuff.... And I'm starting to feel a bit better about the new record reading this :awesome: bring it on boys!!!!

I think it will be a huge contrast between Flo effortless talent and Aguilera's over-the-top-screaming vocals! GO FLO AND SMASH THEM ALL! :lol: I'm always in "autistic" mode during concerts so I don't pay that much attention to ratios...

:thinking: I've seen her in both England and France, and in each country there were as many as men as women.... I would say 60 % girls-40% men. As for Flo's appearance in Gossip girl, well that's just as much as what was on the trailer :dozey: And little news: Flo will sing alongside Aguilera and others at the Grammys for an Aretha Franklin hommage.

5-6 bands on the main stage?...this leaves a chance for KOL on it afterall :sneaky: COME KOL PLZ!

I think that now the main stage for saturday and sunday is full :/ But seeing Kashitian (which is a big band) on the green stage saturday and no name for that stage announced on sunday, 5% of my being is still hoping for KOL on that slot. Which, if it happens, would mean nightmare for queuing. So don't come KOL :P

Computer Generated Imagery ;) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery

I can't stand Kashitian and Liam, so this new announcement is a bit disapointing... (yes, I'm still hoping for KOL to show up *despair mode*)

New acts announced Liam &co+ eels will play friday on small stage, Kasabian saturday, small stage too.

New post and sky pic again.... XD It's good that he, himself, is aware of this obsession :lol: gL, if I can suggest a title for the new album: "California sky" seems right XD
