if you have read my previous post about my love for female musicians, then you will understand my excitement of the fact that i got to see Camera Obscura last night at OU's meachum auditorium.
they are scottish. they are old...ish. and tracyanne (the lead singer) 's voice is SPOT ON. i loved them already, but now i love them even MORE.
check out the song up there. its one of their slower ones, but it is also one of my favs. "James."
SXSW recap:
- it was awesome!!
- i have never seen so many people in one street! (and i thought ACL was busy...)
- we got into Rachel Ray's day party AND we got to see She & Him!!
- i wore the exact same headband everyday.
- i froze my behind off. why didn't i pack warmer clothes?!
- i tried indian food for the first time. now a big fan of naan and chic peas!
Music Wise...

- Wierdest/ Most Entertaining Show: F'ed Up. Lead Singer = shirt off, belly hanging out, hanging from the rafters. awesome.
- Most Energetic: Andrew WK. he wears ALL white ALL the time. and he has hair like dumbledorf.

- Biggest Surprise: Jakob Dylan and Neko Case playing together. i wish neko sang more. but i still loved it. and her crazy red hair. and jakob sounds just like his dad.
