And, add that to the fact said band covered a favorite song of your my interest is piqued x2.However, once you get into it you find out the group sounds nothing like your favorite bands and instead sound like a slightly better version of...

  You’ve Got the Love

The XX cover Florence + the Machine’s “You’ve Got the Love” – turning the tune into a sexy and sedated tune. I especially enjoy what they did, chopping up Florence’s vocals. I am a huge fan of The XX’s new album and it is perfect for the autumn. Florence + the Machine – You’ve Got [...]

Picking my favorite Madonna song is like choosing my favorite child; I haven't one. (Quite literally in the latter case.) So I'm looking forward to Tuesday's release of Celebration, her "So long, Warner Bros!" career collection. All the hits have been invited to the party (well, unless you're an obsessive completist like me), sonically shined for the 21st century. And as further carrot to buy, ...
