okay,i`ve changed the picture...and yeah i know its got john in it,to be honest lookin at my last post wishin people happy christmas,the only person the picture change will affect,is well me,i like this picture because even though the band is perceived as being quite miserable,this shows the band in good spirits,maybe their first trip to the states,look at kennys shoes,hahaha he must have forgot to take them back to the bowling alley,there`s probably a pair of size 14 greenflash smouldering away in a cupboard somewhere......anyways,so i hope its not too misleading to people to see the band in this format,there was a few folk who think this is the best era camera obscura,i disagree....they have evolved quite beautifully and no doubt the stuff they did with john is great,a fine balance between the two vocalists before they parted ways....anyway,this brings me to today,my son asked me yesterday"dad,where do camera obscura play"..i told him prob about 12 dates in the UK then they head to the states/mexico/brazil etc to build on their expansive fan base on that side of the pond....there`s no doubting the plan for world domination..i mean all the way to japan to play two dates what seems an age ago..meanwhile,somewhere in glasgow(oh,i could find it if i wanted to) hahaha,they are rehersin away,a mixture of old and new for hopefully a mini tour later this year, even though its exhaustin,tourin is the only way to go it brings in revinue and exposure which is what its all about when its your job,be nice to enjoy it n`all occassionally i`m sure...its a whole lot of pressure to keep the machine goin..tiring,anyways a few shows will do me later this year,like the shrewsbury one where they showcase a few new songs,it was swans and french navy last time...but anyways i`m wafllin now,hope the picture change isn`t uppsettin to anyone,hopefully if they do tour,put out summit new soon..there might be a few more speakin up on here(131 views of my happy christmas post)...thanks,and happy new year.............
