Pet Rock: Camera Obscura

People my age always complain that modern music sucks. Actually, the people who make these complaints suck. There is always good stuff coming out. All you need is a friend who can send you new music that you don't have time to search out. This band, Camera Obscura, I know nothing about, except that they are not from the 1960's. But that doesn't mean they don't know about the 1960's. They obviously do. This video is corny but in a self-conscious kind of way. Which makes it grand.

Great song, and a terrific album. If you like Camera Obscura, you'll probably also like Belle & Sebastian. "Dear Catastrophe Waitress" is a good place to start.

(Oh, and worth noting that this Camera Obscura song is an answer, of sorts, to Lloyd Cole and the Commotions' "Are You Ready to be Heartbroken?" from the mid-'80s classic "Rattlesnakes.")
