11/4 Florence and the Machine

For me it’s mon the Vegas all the way i actually wrote about Led Bib a long while ago and met them but musically i did not get them at all. I love the Bat for Lashes album but i’m feeling really nervous for Glasvegas i so feel that they dared to be different and went totally out on their own turning down many major deals till they got the one they wanted plus they are pretty cool people to know and hang out with
