Camera Obscura on The Gilmore Girls
You all surely know “The Gilmore Girls”, and if you don’t you should get updated as son as posible, because you would be missing one of the best TV series that can be seen in the last years. Here at Elefant we’re big fans of Rory and Lorelai Gilmore, the sensible teenager and her lunatic mother who live in Stars Hollow, Connecticut. They always have some exquisite cultural reference (records, movies, books) with which they can explain the most varied situations in life, and their musical taste is excellent. It’s not strange, then, that the series soundtrack airs as web many songs that have a lot in common with what we offer from this record label: from the theme song by Carole King to songs by Claudine Longet, THE LA’s, THE MONKEES, Ric Menck from VELVET CRUSH, THE PERNICE BROTHERS or BELLE AND SEBASTIAN.
And it fills us with pride and joy that, in one of our favourite series, they’ve cosen a song by one of our artists: “Suspended from class”, by CAMERA OBSCURA, is played on the chapter “Girls in bikinis, boys doin’ the twist”, of the series fourth season.
And now we’re talking about CAMERA OBSCURA and American TV series (the ones we end up watching sooner or later everywhere else in the world), another song by the Scots, “Keep it clean”, is aired on “The Shower”, a chapter on “The O.C.”, a youthful series about the relations and stories of a bunch of teenagers in the sunny Californian coast.
