Today I am going to
see these guys.
…and I’m kind of thrilled.
If you haven’t heard about Camera Obscura, please drop what you are currently doing and go discover them (here’s their website….their twitter….and a blog post I wrote about them). Seriously….you should do it now.
I was smitten at first sound and I’m so excited to see them live. My excitement is only compounded by the fact that I haven’t gone to a concert since college. Craig’s not huge on live music….he likes it but would rather spend money on other things. SO….I’m going with my beautiful friend Jamie and a couple of girls who are truly devoted fans driving all the way from SoCal. We’re even having a sleep over. Yay for a girl’s night!
Because my Friday will be focused on music, I thought I’d make music the theme of this week’s Fill in the Blank Friday. Oh….and P.S. Holy moly! Last week a whopping 111 of you played along! It was insane. Needless to say I haven’t read all of them (yet!). But I’m so so glad you played along. If you want to play along this week, I’d love it. Just make sure to link back here (at the end of the post) so we can read your answers!
1. One song that always takes me back to my youth is “Rock Steady” by The Whispers. It’s a random one, but I remember listening to it all the time when I was younger .
2. My first concert ever was George Strait I think. I had a best friend who really loved country. Not the coolest first concert, but I can live with it .
3. If I could create my dream music festival I’d want these bands to be there: Bob Marley, The Beatles, 80’s Madonna, 90’s No Doubt, 90’s Green Day and Boyz II Men (loved them in 4th grade!) .
4. The best make-out/”boot knocking” song ever is JT “Sexy Back”. Haha. Kidding. I just can’t think of a good one. I’m not a music in the bedroom kind of girl, but I’m interested to hear what you guys say .
5. The best concert I’ve ever been to was Relient K. Mostly because I went with Craig to see them during our early dating days and we had so much fun .
6. A memorable musical moment for me was Going to an outdoor concert with my mom when I was in middle school. It was Green Day, Blink 182 and a ton of other bands. My mom wouldn’t let me go alone with my friend so she said she’d go with us. My mom is pretty much the sweetest, most innocent person you’ve ever met and I’m pretty sure she was corrupted somewhere in between the girl’s who were flashing Blink 182 on stage and the people puffin’ cheeba all around. Sorry mom. Funny in retrospect though .
7. The song on my iPod that’s getting the most play these days is Black Eyed Peas “Imma Be” It’s great for running (and Zumba!) .
Happy Friday!
P.S. Three more days to enter the giveaway!

i used to LOOOOVE relient k! that’d be fun to see them live.
I LOVE Camera Obscura! I got to know them a few years ago thanks to Alsace Lorraine which has connections with Elephant Records. I hope I can see them live one day; maybe once I’m settled in the States (I’m from Argentina). Speaking of music, I’m super thrilled today, because I’m seeing Belle & Sebastian (another band from Glasgow) for the first time! 😀
