"Hey Lloyd, I'm Ready To Be Heartbroken..."

Have you heard of Camera Obscura or Devotchka? No? Well shoot. You should leave. I'm only kidding... but you're on my shit list.

Anyhoo, if you've seen Little Miss Sunshine, you might recognize Devotchka. They did a few songs for the movie and for the soundtrack. The best part? They're from Denver. This gives me hope for the Denver music scene, what with the Fray blowing up big and all. I was reading that they had like, the number 5 selling album in the country in 2006. That's nuts. Since I lost the page that was supposed to tell me how to embed a mp3 player into my blog, you'll have to settle for YouTube (like usual.)

Devotchka:



Askajsdkj..... soo good.
Here's a video for Camera Obscura, a band out of Scotland. They have a really grainy, classic sound. This first video sounds so fifties, I love it.



This second one seems to be everyone's favorite (I can't remember how I heard about this band, I think through Pitchfork...)


I seriously recommend you check them out. They're both two of my new favorite bands.

I'm sure that everyone has seen this video by now, but the song is just so much fun -- it's one of those that the only dance you can do to it is to bop up and down.
