10. Must Demonstrate Awesome-ness

Dearest Darling Readers,

That's right, this post is dedicated to one of my all time favorite artist Florence Welch. She's the singer/ songwriter/ creator/ she IS Florence + the Machine. Try to take off the judging goggles for a minute when I tell you that I discovered her on Taptap Revenge. Just for clarifications sake, my favorite band is and always will be the Beatles, but she comes in close second. Now I'm not a girl who get's obsessed with things. Not true I get obsessed about many things, but never really like this. This is a whole new ballpark of obsession. ANYWAYS, I downloaded her song Kiss With a Fist for free on taptap. After a while, I found that I would bring up the song and not even play JSUT so I could listen to the song. When a find a song that I like, my next move is to always go to iTunes and check out the artist, see if they have anything else I liked. This was the first and only time that I've ever looked up an album and liked more then 3 songs, let alone the entire album! (What can I say? I'm hard to please when it comes to music) At any rate, after that I ran down to the store, bought then CD, listened to it consecutively for a week straight, pissed off my ENTIRE family, and became absolutely addicted. Not only is her music awesome though, SHE is awesome. RANDOM FACT: She was discovered when she followed a record producer in the bathroom of a club and sang to them while they were pissing,100% drunk the whole time. See what I mean? Who else can brag of phenomenal singing prowess even while completely hammered? There is a profound reason when I'm addicted to her music. It's a mixture of instruments with loud commanding beats combining to create a hypnotic and ethereal fusion with dark undertones and profound lyrics. And boy can she really belt it out. No auto-tune either. How many artists these days can claim THAT? Her manner of dressing is both modern chic and earthy hipster. She's mysterious yet hilarious, strange yet enigmatic. I think she's a very very cool person. She's so different and it amazingly refreshing. She proves that an artist these day who write and sing their own music with out the use of techno or auto-tune can make fantastic music. She's also a real human being. She doesn't do drugs or over party. She isn't a slut or a media whore. She's so real, in an era of untouchable celebrities. She's more true to herself then all of MTv combined. Did I mention she's also British? That automatically makes her 3x as cool. Here's a taste of my madness:

My Favorite song by her:
