As 2012 comes to a close, I thought I'd share with you my top 10 songs of the year. I am a self-confessed music-a-holic and love nothing more than sharing what I've been listening to.

10. Esmerelda - Ben Howard

I discovered Ben Howard this year and instantly fell in love with his voice. Esmerelda the first single off his 2012 EP Burgh Island. The song is very raw and not overproduced and I love it for that. It's a little bit dark too and always reminds me of an emotional video montage scene in a movie.

Blast From The Past | Florence And The Machine 2010

So I bet you thought I couldn't possibly do another post on Florence and the Machine, well, you were wrong. This one is about the first time I ever saw her. There's not much I can say here that I haven't already said in my previous posts about her. I think her confidence from this to now has really sky rocketed with her international success and the fact that this tour was at Festival Hall, whereas her latest tour was at Rod Laver Arena.

Florence and the Machine: Part 2

Oh where to start. Last night was absolutely amazing. As per usual Florence put on an amazing show with her pitch perfect and powerful voice, her playful personality and awe-inspiring projections on an amazing Art Deco set. She spent a lot of her time being wonderful and whimsical with the occasional run around the stage. I have no idea how she managed to keep singing whilst running. She is one fit girl.

Florence And The Machine: Part 1

So I just got home from the Channel 7 studios where I was lucky enough to see the live performance of Florence and the Machine for tonights episode of Dancing With The Stars Australia. As per usual, she was flawless and looked amazing. Poor thing walked into a nail last night and had her foot heavily bandaged up. Get well soon Florence!
I'm looking forward to seeing how the editors put together the footage with the live footage of Dancing With The Stars and how the audience will drastically change from mostly over 40s to under 30s indie kids haha.

Here's a sneak peak preview of tonight's performance thanks to Daniel MacPherson's Instagram photo (host of Dancing With The Stars Australia and all round mega babe). Seeing Florence again tonight at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne where I'll take lots of photos! Look out for part 2!


UPDATE: here's the video

Free Florence? Hell Yeah!

So I've just been ever so lucky to scoresies myself some free tickets to her majesty Florence and the Machine on Sunday for her TV recording on Dancing With The Stars Australia. The corespondent from DWTS was quite insistent that I find lots of people to come so it's going to be a blast of an arvo with all my friends seeing some free Florence. Will post photos next week :)

Oh, and did I mention I'm already seeing her that night?
