AIBU to think that Florence (of And The Machine fame) must have some incriminating photos of someone at the BBC?

[Inertia]

Seriously, the level of over-promotion is just absurd - endless trailers for her, heavy duty playlisting of every single bloody song off every album . And her songs make my ears hurt.

Why the totally OTT favoritism ?

(Disclaimer - I would not really accuse Florence of blackmail. But I'm buggered if I can figure out why she is on my radio all the time.)

Well I don't own a Florence album! But my mum does! And she's not 21

I take it you're joking Vix

So who's on your record player, oops I mean iPod Swedish?!

I thought he did Kate Bush?!
(and Florence is a poor man's Kate IMO)

porny my musical taste goes from Verdi to Nirvana to Eminem to Damien Rice and then to Johnny Cash (and takes in a little Neil Diamond along the way via the Rolling Stones and a bit of Lady GaGa too)

It's about talent and style and originality - all the things that Florence seems to be trying too hard to project.

Hey - don't worry about what you like - if we all wanted the same things, life would be really dull!

Lol at Kate bush! Dh said I sing like her and I got most cross

Ha ha I'm loving the image of you bopping along to Neil diamond and then mixing it up with a bit of slim shady!

Do you rap along to it?

She has a horrible sounding voice and I can't stand her face.

She's one of those over confident, smug-for-no-reason, annoying people.

She went and had a paddy in public when she didn't win the Mercury award (so declasse).

She shagged Lemmy.

Bah.

(Neil Diamond is a genius).

I LOVE Kate Bush
The Whole Story is a great album

Heathcliffeeee it's me it's cathy!

Porny do you want me to recite you the lyrics of Lose Yourself, or Stan???? Cos I can you know.

Lyrically brilliant songs.

Please don't try to put me in a box.

Stan

And I'm not familiar with "don't put me in a box"

Come home now, it's so coo-oo-oo-oo-oo-ooold

Stan - it's a song by Eminem. A very good one.

"Don't put me in a box" means please don't make assumptions about me based on the fact I like 2 Neil Diamond songs.

Thanks.

I changed the words to Wuthering Heights to make it about my cat.

"MUMMMEEEEE,
it's me, I'm furry,
I've come home,
Miaow, miaow, miaow at your window - ah"

Florence was in the year below me at school (and I turn 26 this year) so unless she's been lying since she was a teenager she is 24/25 (yes, I know this makes her even younger than her Wikipedia entry and I don't understand either)

Diablo I'm only having a bit of fun with you!

Don't worry if you saw my iTunes you would like I'm about 90. It's tragic.

The BBC have done this forever - picked out an artist then gone on and on and on about them. I am an old gimmer and can remember this happening in the 1970s and at regular intervals since.

I remember the stone roses power failure on the Late Show.

My taste is, ahem, eclectic porny ( I don't like typing that).

I went through a ten day phase of listening to nothing but dolly patrons "jolene"

But don't tell anyone...!
