Florence and the Machine (2010 WXPN Session)

Florence and the Machine (2010 WXPN Session)

What's not to like about the band Florence and the Machine? They have a new album coming out shortly and they have managed to capture our attention with lush, cinematic singles and electronic-synth built songs like "Dog Days Are Over" and "You've Got The Love". Florence along with her self-composed Machine have been busy performing, touring, writting, and planning her sophmore follow-up including penning and performing a song for the latest The Twilight Saga: Eclipse, soundtrack- "Heavy in Your Arms". Not bad for a girl who opened her first performance in a loo and has managed to be pretty much hyped and produced by various moguls and labels to some extent. Her most powerful performances, for me, have been the solo demos and acoustic songs, posted here on McCrank's Juke in 2008. The girl can strum out "Kiss With A Fist" with some guts and some charm. This Florence and the Machine in-studio demo is from April 2010 at the famed WXPN Sessions. It's an acoustic performance with 4 tracks and chat from seattle's WXPN. Florence chats with Josh T. Landow and playing songs from her debut album, Lungs, live in the studio. Can't wait for that second "medical and chemical" sounding sophmore release - an album to watch for later 2010 - early 2011.

Oops, please delete that prior comment. It is different but that was the link in your review.

Do you have a link to the actual story on XPN? I can't find it on their site.

Thanks

I found the XPN on their site and on YouTube. Amazing!

Link removed due to someone's dirty diapers. You can find the original on morrissey-solo.com forums.

James = as many files as I post up, you'd think you'd let it slide, as I am sure you've received something from this site at some point. I agree the re-up probably takes 15 minutes, so why not just do it right and cut James out of the link completely? I Agree! Why give James any traffic or reference? Deadlinks and password protection is bad, but building a community on passwords, protection and not sharing your links reeks of "control". I see you only do trades and don't share freely, via the website - so I am guessing you only want something for your collective efforts. Remind me to steer clear of all large bootleg hoarders, so I don't encounter these types of conflicts. A friendly message will do and I will take her down. Your precious 13 minutes of interview has been removed, so I am sure we're square at this point.
