Song of the day – 42: Camera Obscura

Spain’s Elefant Records just sent me a parcel of 14 lovely shiny brand-new seven-inch singles.

Names like Television Personalities, The School, Papa Topo, Helen Love, The Carrots and Stereo-Total. Oh yes. I really will have to dust off that USB record-player finally and have myself a listening party with a few select Brisbane sorts. There’s a new Kitchen’s Floor seven to play, Art Museums, something from that crazy dude with the long tongue from Gravy Train!!!, and loads of older stuff besides. (If you’re a select Brisbane sort and fancy that sort of party, send me an email.) I can think of a few fellow bloggers who might be feeling a little pink with envy upon reading this news… anyway.

They also sent me a brace of Camera Obscura sevens.  And there’s never anything wrong with being sent a brace of Camera Obscura sevens. Why, here’s one right now!

My name is Everett True. I am a music critic. This is what I do. I criticise music. The clue is in my job description – music critic. I do not consider myself a journalist, as I do not research or report hard news. I do not consider myself a commentator as I believe that everyone should be a participant. I criticise people and in return I am not surprised if other people criticise me. It is part of the whole deal of being in the public arena. I am Everett True. Believe in me and I have power like a God. Quit believing in me and I no longer exist.
