Yes, I could have done a sweet Florence and the Machine post as my 101st entry, or alternatively, shared with all of you the wonder of an XX track, but doesn't that sound a little too conforming, a little too constraining, lacking that extra bit of pizazz that a 101st post deserves? I thought so too.
Instead, here is an absolutely incredible cover of Florence Welch and her many machines by none other than then the beyond comparison XX! This remix is so freaking cool! Masterfully warping an already classic song, The XX bring this song to whole new levels of awesome! Just when you're getting all tranced out and kind of wanting them to pick the track up a bit, along rolls 2:11, where some of the coolest vocal distortions I've ever heard take Florence Welch's voice to a place I can't even describe, just listen! Thennnnnn, at the four minute mark you might as well quit your job, drop out of school and just listen to that vocal for the rest of your life. Zoinks Shaggy, it's life-changing. Stop reading, start listening!
If this is the first you've heard of either of these bands, firstly check for a pulse, and secondly check them out! Both make some great music, and together, even better!
And just because it's a sweet picture:
