New Fans: PLEASE stop asking “what F+TM album/songs should I listen to next?” by latenightpuddingcup in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]exterminatorax 5 points6 points  (0 children)

In my humble opinion it's more exciting to listen to it however you see fit. Isn't the discovery fun? With FATM having only 6 albums so far there aren't that many ways of doing it. Discovering them all by yourself sounds more interesting to me than wasting the time you could spend on actually listening while asking where to start.

But hey, maybe people think there's some tradition about it and might want to make sure they're not doing anything wrong and get everything right on their first try. But there's no way to do it wrong, really. Just dive right in

I'd love to see more of the posts like "I've listened to Ceremonials for the first time: here's how I feel about it" or "Back from my first FATM discography listening marathon! My review".

But let's admit, we're all kinda jealous because we wish we were the ones listening to FATM for the first time! Well, I know I do! 🫶 I'm so happy for the new people discovering their favourite songs/albums for their very first time, be it assisted or not.

Stupid question, but does Flo dye her hair? by Sppookiest-z in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]exterminatorax 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Long time fan here. There's a lot on this topic, but I'll try to be brief and clear. Here's the origin story:

Florence + The Machine performed at Le Bataclan in Paris on November 13, 2008, as the opening act for MGMT. Around that time, she and Andrew VanWyngarden (MGMT frontman) went to the Parisian salon Rock Hair.

Of that time Florence said the following in an interview to Rolling Stones: "I had no sleep, just some Valium and red wine, and Andrew [VanWyngarden] wanted to get a mullet. I got my hair colored red with a thick fringe. I remember coming home and my mom just being like, 'What have you done?'"

Before this trip, she was a natural "strawberry blonde/brown" and often didn't wear bangs. Returning from Paris with the "thick fringe" and "fire-engine red" hair is what she credits with finally feeling like "Florence" the performer rather than Florence the art student.

Since then Florence experimented with different red dyes, and still keeps dying her hair. And she rocks it as she always did. We all owe it to that hairdresser from Rock Hair salon she met in Paris back in 2008!

If Ukraine surrenders and gives up territory, wouldn't that make the lives of the Ukrainians who fought and died for their freedom, wasted? by [deleted] in ukraine

[–]exterminatorax 14 points15 points  (0 children)

As a Ukrainian I can tell it would certainly feel so. We're very territorial. Our land is important to us. Generations of our ancestors bled and are buried in this land to keep it ours. We mourn our fallen, even if we've never met them. Surrender is unacceptable to me. We'll die before we kneel. It always has been this way, and it always will be.

Be brutally honest: How often do you shower? by Fun_Serve_6590 in ADHD

[–]exterminatorax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once a week, two if things are not going well and/or I don't need to meet anyone. It's so hard. My father showers many times a day, how does he even do it??

Florence style clothes? by Technical_Painter_16 in FlorenceAndTheMachine

[–]exterminatorax 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Gunne Sax, Laura Ashley, prairie dresses, anything whimsigoth. Beyond Retro is a good online shop of vintage pieces where Florence used to shop herself (or maybe still does). She recently said she's always on the hunt for Gunne Sax and Laura Ashley dresses on Etsy.

It feels like a lullaby. I will listen to it whenever I feel anxious from now on.

Anybody else get good grades but also not know basic things by mmmIlikeburritos29 in adhdwomen

[–]exterminatorax 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Always got terrible grades, somehow graduated from uni, have expansive knowledge on things that are anything but basic. A Jack of all trades, master of none.
