What I'm Listening To Tuesday

For my second "What I'm Listening To Tuesday," may I present you with Al Green!!!

Fact: If I could only listen to music from one artist for the rest of my life, I would probably pick Al Green.

1.)Who/What/Where: For those of you who have not heard Al Green (tsk, tsk... just kidding!), he's a soul singer turned gospel/R&B singer. I am mainly into his stuff from the 70's, which has a soulful/funky sound to it. He may be an oldie, but he is definitely a goody! :)

2.)My Top 3 Picks For Songs:

*"Love and Happiness"- Best. Song. Ever.

*"L-O-V-E (Love)"- Fun to sing along to and makes you smile.

*" I Can't Get Next To You"- Funky, fine, and fresh ;).

3.) Pictures:

Now I'm off to do homework... as always! :(

Drumroll, Please!

Oooh... I am so excited to tell you all the winner of my very first giveaway!

The winner is..... badabadabadabada (sad attempt at a drumroll)

Ali of The Drawing Mannequin!!!

Congrats girly! I think the earrings go well with your funky-cool style, and I can't wait to see how you style them! :)

Now, I would like to introduce my new feature --->

"What I'm Listening To Tuesdays"

Here's how it'll work:

I will pick one band/singer every week and 1.)describe them in a few sentences, 2.) list my top 3 picks of their songs, and 3.) hopefully post some pictures of them if possible. Sound good? I think yes! ;)

For my first "What I'm Listening To," we have Florence + The Machine

1.)Florence Welch and her various backing musicians have a sort of rock/soul sound. You've probably heard her song "Dog Days Are Over" in the movie (or ads for) Eat, Pray, Love. She is working on the follow up album to her first album, Lungs. I totally love her voice and flaming red hair!

2.) My picks for songs:

a.) "Addicted to Love"- amazing remake of the Robert Palmer song! First I heard of her, and made me immediately Google her! ;)

b.) "Kiss With a Fist"- fun, fast song that makes you want to jump and down and do karate kicks!

c.) "Dog Days Are Over"- probably her most popular song, but it's popular for a reason!

3.) Pictures!

Can you think of any bands/singers I should consider for What I'm Listening To Tuesdays?
