Recent Obsessions (part1)

Today, we shall discuss MY new favorite songs, and the respective people/bands who made them so awesome! I would even like to be so bold as to nominate them (yes already) for best songs out of (late) 2009 early (2010)..GREAT songs!
*Caution:yes i knwo im repetitive and iv probably talked about most of these in the last few posts..eh!

Florence and the Machine- ohhh if you havent heard them (i cannot stress enough) please go listen! The band is actually centered around Florence(vocalist) with a loosly built backing band(dont know any famous guys in it). the Name of the band..well more of a joke that florence came up with..all u need to know is, the 'band' band did not come up with together..she's the front man and she decided the name..this is not a group-i repeat, not your average group(type band).
-Songs to DL: Drumming song; Youve got the lvoe; Rabbit heart(get the album it tell you!)

Selah sue- Man can this girl sing..what i love about her is, first time i heard her i was like okay girls got a different style, she even has the pipes..but then i heard her song raggamuffin,and i was like woah! Now i will warn you, shes one of those aquired tastes, doesnt really fit into a single genre and even has the whole dark deep thing going on for her.. i like.
-Songs to DL: Raggamuffin; Valerie(amy winehouse cover)

Katy Perry- a friend of mine sent me a song (i kissed a girl) and first time i ehard it i was like..wait, fristly why would you send me this? and secondly what a typical teeny bopper song..i hated it..and i secretly loved it at the same time..but i couldnt admit that to my friend, since we have this 'ohh i discovered a good song before you' competitive thing.
ohh and about katy, i love her raw unique half scream vocals..but she could work a bit on the lyrics! but i guess its her thing-to be the rebellious controvercial singer-songwriter that she is.
-Songs to DL: i kissed a girl(tee-hee); starstruck(3oh!3's)

Kings of Leon- the lead vocalists voice just does me.
period.
HOW can you not feel anything when you hear him LIFT you..gives me goosebumps..and i think (for me atleast) gossip girl was the show that made me fall in L-O-V-E with them..
theyr perfect..musically, lyrically, vocally, sexually..haha(i like the bearded boys (although the long hair'd fellow-not so much)
-Songs to DL: omg all of them!!

Paolo Nutini- Scottish born(with a little italian blood running through his veins) and a rusty vibrating voice-that was all to make my ears stand up! hes cute(kind of-too skinny) sounds like an old man sometimes(another aquired taste i guess) but i have come to aquire it..i have fallen in love with his old man voice and harmonica backed drum-filled music..good stuff!
-Songs to DL: Pencil full of lead; last request(featured on grey's anatomy);Candy

Lily Allen- Okay i know shes not new..but i ahve rediscovered her, and iv realized i love her(and yes il be honest her accent has ALOT to do with it-im a sucker for accents)
-Songs to DL: Smile; The Fear; Who'd have known

Vampire weekend- this is known as the band to look out for..dont know that much about them..but i will dif do some research on them..all i know is so far i like the name of their band, the vocals, even the music..and i loved their song 'Horchatta'..subtle sweet and all based on an almond, rice and milk beverage..haha i still hvnt figured out the song..getting there..

Honerable mention:
Judge me all you want but i think Miley cyrus(not her tenny bopper hannah montana version) but her new 'image' shes portraying..ohh okay i admit, i like her new songs! theyr catchy okay and i like them! i dont care what anyone thinks..
Miley cyrus- Party in the U.S.A; We belong to the music(feat. Timbaland-so its automatically considered cool)
Kesha(Tic Toc) and her raw vocals are nice too..although i just saw her on the Grammy's and she talks like she sings..haha ul know what i mean if u listen to her song and then hear her talk..hehe it kept me amused for a while(I youtubed her)
