was talkin to nick at me party(seekmagic) and he was sayin he`s gonna jib his blog maybe...he has done so much for sales for bands as anyone i know,i.e puttin bands on his comps...oh there`s no reward for him...but for the most part he costs me a small fortune introducin me to new stuff....

camera obscura do many things to promote themselves,they are no slackers,they will travel to beijing today,i think to play one show,its showcase stuff, they really try and push sales in the countries they travel to,they have a plan..like playin a couple of dates in greece..they will also play a good mix of songs old and new.....but lookin at their website,they have really gotta get a grip of updates etc,and makin it a vessel for sales..this is how the world works now,i know what they are doin is tried and tested old school,playin to bigger,better each time,their work stateside has been admirable....and hopefully they will reap what they are tryin to sow...erm bit of a rant,the music industry is a grim place to be toutin your wares,i have a major dislike for it,even though i love music,camera obscura make music both in the studio and on stage that deserves to be heard,and enjoyed,loved,whatever,but like everythin else these days,its all pretty disposable and only really sticks with the likes of us,how many there are of the so said"us"...hopefully enough to spend the money and fill the larder,maybe i`m speakin outta turn they may enjoy tourin an wanna keep goin into their..agghhmmm mid 30`s??...good luck in the east.........
