Tap Tap Thursday Presents: Florence + the Machine by Ed
November 19th, 2009
The Artist: Florence + the Machine
The Art: Kiss With A Fist from the album “Lungs”
We recently had to have some construction done on the Music Library at Tapulous HQ. One department experienced radioactive growth recently, and literally burst apart the cabinets. It is the section labeled : TOTALLY AWESOME BRITISH FEMALE SINGERS. These last few years have been unbelievably rich: Lily Allen, Kate Nash, Duffy, M.I.A, Amy Winehouse (this is the music library, we keep the tabloids down in the bathroom), and so many more, we couldn’t keep up.
We now have plenty of room to add another artist to our collection: Florence Welch, the driving force behind FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE. We’re going to file them under “B” for brilliant, and hope the raw, bluesy, tribal smash of “Kiss With A Fist” doesn’t blow our library apart again, because this song is a complete blast. Lots of bands bring the rock, but often forget the roll. That’s not the case here, as Florence kicks and rumbles through the verses to a fiercely, painfully romantic chorus.
Once you’ve fully developed your crush on Florence, head over to florenceandthemachine.net, or check them at last.fm and MySpace.
THE FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE CONTEST
FATM’s vigorous debut album is titled “Lungs,” and that is appropriate for this week’s contest, because you’re going to scream out your lungs if you win the grand prize…
A NEW IPOD TOUCH LOADED WITH FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE’S ALBUM “LUNGS”!! Is that cool with you guys? The world’s most amazing pocket-supercomputer holding one of England’s best-selling and most-acclaimed albums of the year?
For a chance to win that, do this: Get 5 points. Simple, huh? Here’s how to score points:
1. Rate “Kiss With A Fist” on the Buzz page after playing.
2. Send a challenge to a friend after playing the track.
3. Play a challenge on “Kiss” sent to you by a friend.
4. Get a score above 500,000 points on “Kiss.”
5. Have a score in the track’s top 100 when the contest ends on Tuesday night.
5 runner-ups will win special autographed FATM merchandise. At the end of the contest, we’ll throw all the points in the Tapulous hat and draw the winners. The contest runs from 12:01 AM Friday, November 20th through 11:59 PM Tuesday, November 24th, Pacific Time. Tap on.

first place on extreme on TTR2. :]

Track: Better than other recent TTT tracks.
Theme: Its a theme, it works. Since it has no inherent issues that affect gameplay it beats out other more elaborate themes.
Tapfile: Created by somebody with rythym that fluctuates wildly. Some parts are good, but when it tries to follow vocals, ye gods! I’ll actually have to replay this track to maintain my current standing, I’m floating in the mid 40’s and I know my taps are not nearly good enough to hold that spot.
Oh yeah, this is actually a contest I want to win. Myz iPodz touch’z tehz secondz versionz. And I’m still sore about buying it a week before the price drop and 3gen came out. Maybe if there’s a ‘warranty issue’ I can get it replaced with a new one.

I don’t like this track. I feel that tapulous music selection is slipping…
November 19th, 2009
Okay, first of all…I want to win this contest SO badly…but I have a question. I’m not 100% clear on the rules. Is it possible to have more than 1 point “in the Tapulous hat?”
November 19th, 2009
I’m new to this so can some one explain to me, do you have to do all those things to score the points or just some of them? And if you all those things are you automatically entered to win?
November 19th, 2009
Wow, talk about a reason to do well. I played this song a couple times right after I downloaded it, getting like 570k points and placing like 150 or lower. After just now reading about the contest…I got 100% accuracy, 700k points and placed 23rd. I’m starting to think that I might actually have a chance at that iPod.

This is to alicia: I believe that you need to earn at least 5 points for a chance at the prize and I think you get 1 point everytime you complete 1 of the tasks listed, but I’m not sure. You probably have to complete each at least once but I don’t know for sure
