Saturday Night Live got a dose of Florence Welsh and her Machine when they came to play two tracks from their sophomore album, Ceremonials. Up top you can watch the band play "Shake It Out" and down below, you'll be treated to "No Light, No Light". Granted, Welsh didn't treat the crowd to any flowing, arm-waving dance moves during this performance but it's still a good one to watch.

Well here we are again. The time when the old, white men of the recording industry decide to bestow their blessings on artists who they feel should get a Grammy award while the rest of us pull out our hair because the real talents didn't get any recognition.
We should first be proud, however, that Arcade Fire are up for Album of the Year with The Suburbs and Florence + The Machine and Mumford & Sons are up for Best New Artist. It's talent that definitely… Read More
