Camera Obscura – I Love My Jean

Camera Obscura - I Love My Jean

Today is Burns Night, where people, especially in Scotland, celebrate the life and work of Scottish poet Robert Burns, born 267 years ago. So why not post one of my favourite songs by one of my favourite Scottish bands, which happens to be a Burns poem. Camera Obscura doesn’t need an introduction, I assume. It is, incidentally, the first band I ever interviewed in person, when I spoke to then new keyboard player Carey Lander in London in 2002. It was also, I believe, her first interview. Carey sadly passed away in 2015. This song is also for her.

There’s some kind of About page at the bottom of the first post. There is an Instagram account and also a Bluesky account and a playlist on Tidal. I am Martijn and this is my personal-professional website.
