Was all about watching Candi Staton doing this on the Jazz Stage last year.

As much as I like Dizzi and like Florence - it is not their song.

I can imagine how many ignorant f**ks would be there watching Candi Staton and saying to their friends after that she did a Florence and the Machine song.

I've not got a problem with Florence but she killed that song with one foul swipe.

Can I just point out that it ain't Candi's song either? It's origin is a Frankie Knuckles track.

As for Florence .... an admitted rip-off, a poor cover and and one average tune, and then only dross. She might have got the love, but she ain't got the tunes. :P

Think Frankie Knuckles just used the Candi Staton sample to be honest. Although it wasn't originally her song....

Could be wrong like!

The "Candi Staton song" was actually "The Source feat. Candi Staton".

The Source either sampled or re-created the Frankie Knuckles track (without the little bit of vocals on it), and put Candi's vocals over the top. Candi's vocals weren't a part of the original Knuckles' track.

The original Knuckles track is a house classic from the eighties - itself using samples from other earlier things.

Meh, I can take or leave it, there's been worse covers of songs, its by far not Florences best song anyway in either form, and nor dizees. Although I reckon it could most of the crowd going if they were to do it, so whose set would they do it in? Mr Rascals or Ms Walsh's?

The definitive version is always going to be the Eren 1991 version with the Frankie Knukles bassline (from 'You Love') at the beginning, for my generation. Sent shivers down the collective spines of a million dance floors when that bass cuts in

It is a shame that so many of the current generation think this is a Florence tune, especially as:-

1. Missing said bassline at the beginning.

2. I've read journos describe her voice as pitch perfect. wtf. Probably is until about 3/4 of the way trough any given line at which point, for some reason, she chooses some other random note to finish on. I find this incredibly annoying. Some people think it gives the voice some edgy appeal, just wrong to me

2. She has changed the song title to be grammatically correct, why would you do that?

    • I was hoping that they would just do a tour like they were set to in 2020, rather than having Download as their UK appearance. If they are at DL, I would be surprised to see them headline. I think they sub under Deftones or SOAD 
    • well, we might know by the end of next month if they drop the lineup early again
    • I'm definitely not camping 🙂.  My 17 year old Daughter and her friends are there 3 days and commuting back to Sheffield each day as didn't want to camp .  I am taking and picking up the Saturday so thought I may as well get a ticket as love Fontaines DC - need to do a lot of research on the other acts though to fill my day.    I walked through the camp site other year the day Arctic Monkeys played and it was like a War Zone.  My Son has camped a couple of times but didn't fancy my Daughter staying over. 
    • Not at all impressed with Polanski saying "noone should be barred from public life" wrt the Tory neo-nazi. I really don't think "no nazis in politics" should be an excessive standard.
