Played like a record...

The Camera Obscura concert Wednesday evening was lovely. Of course it was. How could it not be, even though one reviewer thought it was yawningly boring? But I (and since this is my blog and my life, my opinion is what matters the most around here) did enjoy the evening thoroughly, which, some great music aside, also included the chance to finally say hello to a few people as well as spending some hard-earned cash on a t-shirt plus the Underachievers Please Try Harder album. I even took a few pictures, but the quality of the snapshots is the lowest of low, so I doubt very much that one or more will end up here.

Anyone remember Le Chevre, which I featured a few years back? The electro pop one-man project of Crispin Glover look-a-like Michael Barksdale? Probably not! But to refresh your (and my) memory, an 8 track self-titled EP/album was released (apparently as far back as) in 2004, which included some rather infectious stuff. So today’s good news (to me at least) out of Myspace is that Le Chevre is still alive and that a new EP is being recorded (a few new tracks can be streamed).

Le Chevre...

On my Last.fm crusade earlier today, I came across one-man project (?) Le Chevre from South Carolina. The Postal Service is mentioned as the top similar artist, but to me the music sounds like a really charming version of The Notwist going indie pop. No matter what it only took one listen before I got completely hooked on these incredibly catchy indie/electronic/synthpop tunes. A release should be available from Horizon Records, but it seems to be out of print. Hopefully something can be worked out, because I seriously need to get my hands on this stuff! On a final note - Is it just my imagination or does Michael (the lead singer and the dude in the picture) look at lot like George McFly?
