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

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

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!

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. ;)

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!

It looks like my sources come in quite handy so you won't have any work, I think. ;)
Yep, that's the only one so far. There are like 50 special editions out there with remixes and stuff but the album is basically all you need. :) And maybe this song: Heavy in your arms. Specifically recorded for the latest Twilight movie but it is such an awesome song. <3 (The soundtrack overall is pretty much the best thing about Twilight, really great songs on there).
Yes, My Boy Builds Coffins is fabulous. :D I'd probably be faster if I listed the songs I didn't like too much... ;)

OMFG, why does Twilight try to ruin EVERYTHING? My friend showed me a while ago that apparently Meyer also quoted Robert Frost's Fire and Ice--one of my favourite poems--at the beginning of one of the books. DNW.
But anyway, that song is also amazing! Thank you! <3
