What I've heard of the new Stills is pretty shitty, I agree. But you can't put all the blame on the drummer, Dave Hamelin. He's the guy who wrote almost all the words and music for their first album, which was great.

Love all that I have heard from the new Camera Obscura, part. the album title track.

Did you hear about Grant McLennan dying? Very sad.

XO, I'd never really checked out Camera Obscura before, but these new tracks sound pretty good.

And I actually never really even knew the Go-Betweens!

when I saw the stills, the drummer came out and sang the last song of the set and I thought it was nice of the band to let him come out and get some attention by slaughtering a song of theirs..I never knew he was the same guy that actually sang on the track! He sounds kind of tone deaf..
