Everybody knows: I am not the biggest Florence and the Machines fan.  In fact, I’m not a fan at all (We can talk for hours about how overrated Lungs was. So over-hyped and undeserving!).

But I’ve also got to give credit where credit is due.

Florence and her gang played Saturday Night Live this weekend, and goddammit, it was nearly perfect. A brilliant performance, really.  I tried desperately to hate it and it took the 6-foot ginger all of 30-seconds to pull me in and tear at my heartstrings. Kudos, Flo!

Check out song #1 of the performance. Here’s “Shake It Out”:
