mind your music: florance and the machine
Okay, I’ll admit it. I’m not always the most proactive when it comes to new music (very uncool, I know). I can hear a name floating around, download the CD, and still not actually listen to it for a while simply because it doesn’t strike me at the time. Gems sit right under my nose for weeks and then one random day I’m in love.
And recently, it’s Florence and the Machine.
Favorite Song: Currently I’m preferring the more ruckus songs on the album, however the slower ones have a delicacy that I’m sure will quickly become just as listened to. Florence and the Machine makes you want to be that girl – the one whose ease and sexiness is dressed down in messy hair, holey jeans, and the open road. It’s like the warm smell of pipe smoke and a dark, earthy laugh. That kind of desert goddess blazing in a sunset.
Photography to see: Sofia Ajram and Janelle Dry
Do not deprive yourself of the awesome that is Florence and the Machine … because one music procrastinator is bad enough.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Great little write-up. Her music/style is fantastic and I’ve been hooked since I heard her a few months ago.
she is so incredibly talented. and beautiful! i saw a video of her running in like 5 inch heels and she STILL sang better than most people ever could.
I bought this album about a month ago and listened to it non stop…it makes excellent background music for artsy studio crafty time. Current songs I’m favoring are Howl, Blinding, and ……drumming song.
Thanks for sharing Anathallo!
haven’t hear her other songs but im addicted to ‘dog days are over.’ never get tired of that song.
sorry i was a mondo fan. 😉 hehe.
long live mondo (:
Jenna, Jenna….. you are the epitome of cool. I too, thought that Gretchen deserved to win. She is why I cut bangs.
Miss you, friend!
Hazzah for Project Runway fans! I think both Mondo and Gretchen were awesome, but was irritated by all of the online comments about whiny Michael C and how undeserving Gretchen was. Thus my incredibly controversial comment haha!
Those leather lungs on the cover would look great with Gretchen’s clothes. Weird.
Is it normal to cry during Project Runway? Because I did during several episodes. Also weird.
I KNOW! Sooo wish we had hung out! It’s never too late to be pals though. 🙂
Nice job finding a press. Where did you originally learn printmaking? Drury maybe? Do Tell!
