I'm Ready to be Heartbroken
I have become fully obsessed with Camera Obscura's adorable song, "Lloyd, I'm Ready to be Heartbroken. They're a wonderful Scottish band and the song, according to WVUD's Steve Klinge and to Pitchfork Media, is a response to Lloyd Cole & the Commotions' 1984 song, "Are You Ready to be Heartbroken?" The Camera Obscura song's lyrics are a bit hard to hear, but you won't care. You'll revel in the sweet, wistful feeling you get from the title alone, and then you'll take yourself to an east coast city and walk about. Like sands through the hourglass, so are my playlists from today.

I hope that some of you noticed that, in my previous post, the image at the top was not only what appears to be the face of a man, but also the word, "Liar." I like eyeball riddles.

What a cool tune. Those Scots are sneaky-good. Yet, the creative process behind music videos continues to perplex me.
Thank you for passing the song along, Sarah.

Cheers, Helmut! I'm glad you dug the song. That video, however, mystified me. The creative process, indeed.

That song has been stuck in my head for over 24 hours now. Extremely catchy. It's on XPN these days, too.

Ah, MJC. Of course you dig Camera Obscura! Is there anything else you're recommending lately?
And thanks for the comment, Mike!
