If you’re quite emotional at the moment…then maybe don’t watch this. But if you choose not, please know that you are missing something rather well…PERFECT. It’s an acoustic, live version of Cosmic Love.
This song means so much to me and hearing it like this fills my belly up with butterflies and things. I’m seeing La Roux tomorrow with my favourite person in the world so I’m very exicted and happy!
Florence + The Machine- Cosmic Love(Acoustic).

Whilst walking home in the dark this evening I was listening to You’ve Gt The Love (Electric Proms version) and it just…there was something about walking in the dark, through the soggy leaves on the ground surrounded by trees and hardly any lights that made this song sound so much more beautiful than it already is. There are so many songs that sound better when you are listening to them whilst wandering about in the dark whilst it’s pissing it down.
I remeber about a year ago I went off wandering again (I should be kept on a lead!) listening to So Here We Are by Bloc Party in the snow. It just made it sound so different t sitting in my room listening to it. Another example is Camera Obscura. I’m sat here listening to them now but I know if I was to go for a wander or go on a train listening to them, it would sound different. Not better, just different. I don’t know why this happens, but I find it to be such a wonderful thing. Or maybe, I’m just odd and the only person who feels like this. No idea.
But try it. Listen to something by Camera Obscura, Flo or Bloc Party in your room…then go for a wander (maybe not when it’s raining and dark, I don’t want you to slip and hurt yourself!) and just see, well hear, how different it sounds.
Today I turned 23…is there anything interesting I can do now? Or did it all end at 21? Either way, today has been a bit wank. BUT….I just found this lovely mash-up which has made it all SLIGHTLY better.
But before I share….Baria has left The xx. This saddens me. I liked her 
But, they said they are continuing as a 3 piece.
So…here’s the mash-up :
Flo and Rob did You’Ve Got The Love acoustically in an abandoed zoo..it’s pretty friggin’ AMAZING! And extremely beautiful!
E.N.J.O.Y!

I will not deny my love for Lady GaGa…and this new video just proves why I love her. She’s just friggin’ ace!
Lady GaGa-Bad Romance (Video). It’s the full length video..no doubt the music channels will edit it…BOO TO THEM!
It’s one the best songs and videos of the year!
x
La Roux were on Live From Abbey Road and the set was just friggin’ ace. Elly’s voice improves every time!
Elly probably spends ages getting her hair to look like that..me? I just need to have a nap/sleep and when I wake up.my hair goes like that! Except…Elly is a billion times better looking and has better hair!

They all looked really good (and sounded beautiful) in this performance. Is it me or does Flo look a bit like Princess Leia?! Stunning.
Anyway, enjoy! Good to see America loves Flo too! 
Florence + The Machine-Rabbit Heart (Raise It Up). Live On Jimmy Kimmel.
I am slightly in love with Elly Jackson. She is beautiful and has a wonderful voice. Quicksand was the first song I heard La Roux last year sometime…it’s being re-released as the next single soon. ame video though.
Anyway, I found this and I’m even more in love with Elly!
Yeah, I know..I go on about them..and Florence and others quite a bit.but I love them, there’s no point in me writing about music I dislike!
I just found this, it’s probably the best live clip of them on YouTube right now.
The xx-Crystalised (Live From Audio,Brighton.)
I saw Morrissey in May in Stirling and I was left feeling as if I had to see him again. And again. You know how it is. So, last night I saw him in Sheffield.
Doll And The Kicks were the support act again, and I can honestly say that they are the best support act I’ve ever seen. Doll manages to control the crowd with her ridiculously powerful voice, even if the venue has not filled up yet. Although, not everyone can be pleased. Some drunken trollop decided to heckle them. So what did Doll do? She dedicated the next song to the fool, which was aptly titled What Goes Around,Comes Around. I bet the woman feels stupid now, or she’ll have a sickening hangover, either is good.
Playing a few new songs and most of their debut album (which you can get off iTunes and their website, I highly recommend that you do!) I fail to see why they have not been signed. They are a brilliant band both live and on record, so why aren’t they signed? There is enough awful music polluting the airwaves, it’s about time something different and decent was being exposed.
If You Care is one track I was partly hoping they wouldn’t play as it just reduced me to tears. My hope was killed. They played it, and Doll dedicated it to those who had gone through a “bad break-up” but I didn’t cry, I just sang and was rather happy to be watching one of the best bands Britain has to offer us right now. Plus they all signed my Morrissey ticket!
After various music videos being shown to us, chosen by Morrissey on a projector screen, the screen dropped. The crowd went mental and our hero took to the stage. Clutching the microphone, he said “Can you handle it?!” The response was a mixture of cheers and a chorus of “YES!” Daft question Moz, but thanks for asking!
Opening with This Charming Man then into Black Cloud, I felt like an excited child at Christmas. As soon as he walked on stage I started to cry. Throughout the evening all I kept thinking was, “How can one person make you cry without saying or doing anything?” Then as he started singing I’m Throwing My Arms Around Paris, I realised it is because he is one of a kind. His lyrics, his stage presence and his humour are just beautiful. At one point, one of the spotlights was on him and the way he was standing was just so perfect. He was just standing still, not singing and it was just a beautiful moment. I could go on about how he is a legend and how nobody will be able to write lyrics as clever, dark, and witty as him. But if you’re a Moz fan you will know this already. It’s not just in his songs he is a sarcastic fellow, “I hear the shops are now much better in Sheffield.” Was just one of the many witty comments he made throughout the gig.
The set list consisted mainly of b-sides from Swords, which he thanked the “seven people that bought it.”
How Soon Is Now, Cemetry Gates, Irish Blood English Heart and The World Is Full Of Crashing Bores saw the Sheffield crowd go rather ape shit which was a delight to watch. I didn’t know if to watch Moz or the crowd!
Closing with First Of The Gang To Die, it wouldn’t be a Morrissey gig if people in the crowd didn’t try to get on stage with Morrissey. A few did manage to get on stage, but bloody hell the security were rough with them. One woman was dragged, yet she carried on singing and smiling. You can’t keep a Morrissey fan down.
Who knows if he will be touring the UK again anytime soon, either way I am happy and grateful to have seen my hero twice in the space of 5 months.
