fiercebunnyRandom music that I like...
My cd of Florence and the Machine's Lungs album came in the mail this week and I really love it so far. It has taken up permanent residence in my car stereo.
"Rabbit Heart (Raise it Up)" was the first song that caught my attention. My inner English major appreciates the Lady of Shalott reference in the video.
My favorite song off the album is probably "My Boy Builds Coffins", but I like "The Drumming Song" too. (This would make an excellent Doctor/Master fanvid, no?) Anyway, Florence and the Machine highly reminds me of 70's female rockers like Stevie Nicks and the Wilson sisters of Heart. Her music is kind of bluesy folk with a hint of mysticism. Also, there seems to be a lot of chiffon involved.
Oh, and here's some other music as well
I've always liked "Henry Lee" by Nick Cave and PJ Harvey, but somehow I've never seen the video for it until the other day.
Is it creepy or hot? It's hard to say; that is seriously the most romantic video I've ever seen for a song about a murdered corpse. I love the little waltz at the end. Though I have a sneaking suspicion that Harvey and Cave are sekritly twins separated at birth, y/n?
On a more cheerful note...
I don't usually care much for a cappella groups, but I do love covers of womens' songs as sung by men. Like this group of guys from UC Berkeley singing Lady Gaga's "Pokerface". Nice choreography too.
