pawning off my treasure

[veggie17]

I had the most serendipitous musical discovery yesterday. ♥

piecesfalling posted a casting spoiler for season 4 of Breaking Bad (Sidenote: y'all should watch BB!), which reminded me that I really need to get a BB icon. Since my LJ search was fruitless, off to Google I went. Somehow, the search results led me to someone's DW userpics page. One of the icons they

GURL HOW DO YOU NOT KNOW A FINE FRENZY, WHERE DO YOU LIVE, NORTH POLE?

But then even though I know the name I must admit that I've never listened to any of Fiona's music so I should probably stfu. ;) You're right though, Alison Sudol is amazing. <3

And the redhead in my icon is Florence Welch from Florence & the Machine, just in case you want to give her a try as well. ;D

I... live in a similar climate, anyway? :P But IDK, I just never heard of her! Which is a shame, truly, but I'm glad I know of her now!

And...I...WHAT? You NEED to listen to Fiona. She's incredible. Her music is so raw and honest; it's rare to see an artist tear themselves like that for the sake of art.

I checked out Florence and the Machine, and I'm already in love with her voice. I'll definitely be listening to more. ;) Thank you!

Lolol obvsly. (Btw, do you guys at least have warm summers or is it only spring-like temperatures?)

Oooooh, that song was the perfect rec; piano, a beautiful voice and oh the emotions, amazing. I'm going to see if I can find her albums. Thank you!

Yes, success! :D I think I uploaded her album a while ago, let me know if you need it. ;)

Mmm, we do have a few really warm days during the summer, but yeah, it's mostly spring temperatures. But after dealing with anywhere between -25 to -45 temperatures for 6 months, when it's -10 people go outside in t-shirts. :P

Yay, I'm so glad you liked it! It's one of my favourite songs and one of my favourite performances because it's so heartfelt and aching. Let me know if you run into any problems finding the albums let me know and I'll try to upload them for you. ;)

Oh, thank you for the offer! I'm not sure how many albums she has? So far I've only downloaded Two Lungs. My favourites are My Boy Builds Coffins and Hurricane Drunk so far. I actually like her live versions better than the studio, which is really rare and awesome!

That's a beautiful song!

Isn't it? I've been listening to it nonstop! ♥
