Title: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: michael on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:00:41 Both have new albums out within a week of each other, therefore I hereby announce this as the new Blur vs Oasis.
So, whose side are you on? Interestingly there is third contender called Little Boots, who may well "do a Pulp" and go on to eventually release a better album than both of them. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:15:13 Don't know La Roux....well only Garth and I think he was a le. You wouldn't say know to Florence, so I'll pick them, don't listen to the music mind.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: michael on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:19:32 Whilst sat in the mother of all traffic jams on the way to Glastonbury, Florence was in the Radio 1 Live Lounge. She sounded interesting, though her performance wasn't great.
Big fan of red heads too so I'll give her a chance.

She sounded interesting, though her performance wasn't great. Big fan of red heads too so I'll give her a chance. I liked that Goldfrapp bird...she may have head red hair at some point, that tail thing she used to wear was a bit pervy.... Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: ibelieveinmrreeves on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:22:41 Looks like Noel Fielding in a wig, apparently. I've never heard any of their songs, and I've only heard "In for the kill", by La Roux who also is apparently something of an ugger.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: blinkpip on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:24:26 Missis bought Little boots today. La Roux will win it, I reckon.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: michael on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:25:59 Alison Goldfrapp was smoking hot around the time of 'Black Cherry', which must have been released around 5 years ago now I'd guess.
Not sure how she is looking these days. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 19:29:14 Alison Goldfrapp was smoking hot around the time of 'Black Cherry', which must have been released around 5 years ago now I'd guess. Not sure how she is looking these days. She's no spring chicken by pop standards, but just about the right age by my standards. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:03:59 La roux looks very odd
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: walrus on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:14:09 I met the drummer to Florence and the Machine whilst in a kebab shop in Sheffield... true story! Not a great band though. If I had to plump for either it'd be La Roux, who are quite catchy. Looking forward to Reverend and the Maker's new offering though...
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: STFC_Gazza on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:15:02 I saw Florence and the machine at big weekend thought they were quite good
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Bogus Dave on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:15:45 Florence is very odd
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:17:29 I have no idea who any of these artists are :)
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Panda Paws on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:27:19 Ive recently downloaded La Roux and Little Boots' album, both are quite good but not mond blowing, but i wouldn't compare either with florence and the machine, who are just a bit too strange for my liking
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Nemo on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 20:31:22 I have no idea who any of these artists are :) La Roux is responsible for that "Going in for the Kill" song which you surely can't have managed to avoid? Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Simon Pieman on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 21:05:42 Nope still no idea, I don't listen to radio or watch any music television though.
I've just youtubed it and I didn't really enjoy it. I think I may have turned into my late father, but aged only 24. I hope this means I don't start liking prog rock. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: chalkies_shorts on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 21:45:20 Both are absolute shit and a long way off Blur v Oasis.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: 4D on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 21:48:14 Never heard of any of these ??? How many bands are in the title 1,2 or 3?
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: reeves4england on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 22:02:03 I quite like Little Boots, nice and catchy. Not sure about the others as I haven't heard enough. Isn't Ladyhawke another similar artist?
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Doore on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 22:04:23 Never heard of any of these ??? How many bands are in the title 1,2 or 3? I was wondering the same thing. Not sure when I lost touch with new music, but never heard of anyone mentioned hear. I love the Beatles. And the Who. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Saxondale on Sunday, July 5, 2009, 22:05:32 Ladyhawke is similarily 80's inflected retro pop bird with catchy tunes.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Leggett on Monday, July 6, 2009, 00:08:18 la roux is A ) munted and B ) shit. enjoyed her having a pop at RnB for shit, souless lyrics with no meaning.
may i point you to her previous offering to the musical gods... We can fight our desires But when we start making fires We get ever so hot Whether we like it or not They say we can love who we trust But what is love without lust? Two hearts with accurate devotions And what are feelings without emotions? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand (x2) I hang my hopes out on the line Will they be ready for you in time If you leave them out too long They'll be withered by the sun Full stops and exclamation marks My words stumble before I start How far can you send emotions? Can this bridge cross the ocean? I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand (x2) Let's go to war To make peace Let's be cold To create heat I hope in darkness We can see And you're not blinded by the light from me I'm going in for the kill I'm doing it for a thrill Oh I'm hoping you'll understand And not let go of my hand fuck, those are deep lyrics. silly cunt. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Saxondale on Monday, July 6, 2009, 06:51:40 She is also the daughter of June Ackland from the bill fact fans.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Mexicano Rojo on Monday, July 6, 2009, 07:10:36 Both are absolute shit and a long way off Blur v Oasis. couldnt have put it better myself, i do hope your tounge was firmly in your cheek michael? can you realisically see either of these bands selling 3 or 4 million albums, or doing 3 nights at knebworth? Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, July 6, 2009, 09:21:38 Both are very good, I prefer la roux but Florence has a great voice and they seem to get better with every song.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: LucienSanchez on Monday, July 6, 2009, 11:38:46 Florence can't sing her new single live. Which is stupid.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Jamiesfuturewife on Monday, July 6, 2009, 12:04:46 Hate both - hurt my ears with there screaching
Didnt mind La Roux until I heard her in an interview then thought she was an idiot Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Simon Pieman on Monday, July 6, 2009, 18:04:08 So you wouldn't buy music if the person who made it was an idiot? Seems a bit pointless, that would rule out every girl and boy band and a hell of a lot more other muscians.
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Anteater on Monday, July 6, 2009, 18:55:24 Florence can't sing her new single live. Which is stupid. Prefer Flo myself. She did 'Dog days are over' at the Big weekend gig (is this the latest single ?). Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Monday, July 6, 2009, 22:20:45 The new single is rabbit heart and she definitely can sing it live, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLhgyHZcXkc&feature=related
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: LucienSanchez on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 06:37:30 That sounds nothing like the radio version of said single...
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Spy on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 07:17:52 I like Skream's dubstep remix of In For the Kill. First time I heard it was when it got dropped by Chase and Status on the outside stage at Big Weekend. :D :D
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Ben Wah Balls on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 07:25:07 That sounds nothing like the radio version of said single... No, it sounds better, which is why it's so good. Why should it sound the same? It's pretty dull when bands perform live and it doesn't even sound like they're live.Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Chubbs on Tuesday, July 7, 2009, 07:36:54 I like Skream's dubstep remix of In For the Kill. First time I heard it was when it got dropped by Chase and Status on the outside stage at Big Weekend. :D :D yes, quality remix. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: tans on Sunday, November 8, 2009, 04:22:41 Oops, ive just found out that I used to go to school with the keyboard player from La Roux.
How random. I didnt think it was physically possible to go to Chipping Norton School and actually make something of your life. Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Bennett on Sunday, November 8, 2009, 10:06:53 there there tans, i believe in you xx
Title: Re: La Roux and Florence and The Machine Post by: Leggett on Sunday, November 8, 2009, 11:14:59 He is only the keyboard player in la roux... from what I've heard they've ripped off all of the soundtracks to nes/master system/snes/megadrive games from the early 90s.
