Maritime: "Someone Has to Die"

I got for Xmas a Canon Elura 100 DV camcorder, and its first time out was the big new year's eve show with Cake and Maritime at the Riverside Theater in Milwaukee. This first Maritime clip is the very first thing I recorded with the camera -- you may notice that it's in widescreen, that there are zooms in and out, that the video is really clean-looking, etc. It's a terrific little camera, especially for its size -- it's not much bigger than the Sony Cybershot I'd been using, and fits right in the palm of my hand. I'll be using it to record most stuff I post from now on, except for shows where I have to sneak a camera in very sneakily.

This song was the first one that made me take notice of Maritime, when I heard it on their debut EP back in 2003. It's a great, simple pop song that encapsulates the earliest incarnation of their sound really well. Not everybody in the audience thought so, though, since as you'll see tons of people were coming and going or just standing in the aisle for no particular reason during the set.
