Camera Obscura

The girlfriend's visit is over, so back to the lonely-boy distractions of music geekery and the blog. The Hold Steady were great last night. So great that I sank too many PBRs and am going to have to pass on Favourite Sons tonight. I'm too old to hack two nights in a row.

Up to the plate today are Camera Obscura (see how I used a reference to the American sport of baseball, yet referred to a band in the plural, a grammatical quirk that Americans have yet to grasp? I'm an international magpie). These boys and girls are without a doubt Scotland's finest (Franz who?) . Lloyd, I'm ready to be heartbroken is not my favourite track off the new album, but it's the only one I could find a video for. Listen to If looks could kill here:
