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.)

Jolene is awesome.

Also - Lucille by Kenny Rogers. "With four hungry children and a crop in the field, you picked a fine time to leave me Lucille"

This is going well now. But she can't be 25! Look at her. She must smoke 50 Hamlet cigars a day to look that old!

Doesn't float my boat either but each to their own.

I do get heartily sick of over promotion though. Usually means it's a bit of a let down when you finally see the final product as your expectations are set too high.

Have you heard this, Pornyissues? -

She's marmite. I love her. And she is phenomenal live.

But have you ever seen her & Noel Fielding in the same room?

Oh I will YouTube kenny rogers.

If your into country and western one of the most beautiful songs I have ever heard is "separate ways" by teddy Thompson. It's very sad, but very beautiful

How about a bit of johnny cash then?

I know her family (but nt her) - she is 25 ish.

I love my Johnny Cash - "Hurt" is probably the best song I have ever heard and I have the Live at Folsom Prison album too. Greystone Chapel - makes me sob and I'm not even religious. And have you heard "Hung my head"? (sends shivers down my spine)

I didn't know I liked C&W so much until I started on this thread!

Hurt is just beautiful. I have yet to meet a man who hasnt admitted crying a the video it's just haunting

anyone remember dido? Florence will be forgotten just as quickly, mark my words.

I have got several Dido songs on my ipod!

If she is 25ish she has not worn well. I'm 30 and I look much younger than her!

you square diabolo

I like her!

I don't know what's more shocking, that she's 25 or that she shagged Lemmy.

Not my thing.

Square and PROUD! c0rn

_
!_!

OMG - she shagged Lemmy????

How did I miss that????????

When I was 8, a man "flashed" at me behind the local parade of shops. He sang "The Ace of Spades" as he wiggled his dick at me!

I cannot listen to that song without laughing.

Lemmy does do an amazing acoustic version of it somewhere.... (off to Google it now).

Florence absolutely murdered a fabulous song - You Got the Love.
And for that I will never forgive her.
Never.
NEVER I tell you!

Noooooooooooooooooooo

I know porny. Perhaps that explains an awful lot!

Off to watch University Challenge now, followed by America's Next Top Model.

Variety is the spice of life and all that tosh!

I love Florence. I love her latest album, its in my car at the mo, the lyrics are amazing. Her songs are all very similar though, so if you don't like one, you won't like any, so I can understand that. But if you love one, you'll love them all!

Her birth was registered in September 1986 so it seems overwhelmingly likely that she was born in August 1986. Unless there was some vast overreaching plan involving corruption in high places, which is a little bit paranoid even for MN.

You're a bunch of music SNOBS. Who cares what music people like?

Wiley used to endlessly promote Coldplay/Travis/etc etc. It's just what happens.

You snobs.

(Florence is amazing though)

Diabolo I used to sing " Four hungry children and a dog with no ears" .....

I like Flo, but Lemmy, may be he laughed her knickers off?

Florence is like enya over rated
