Arab Strap, are also a Scottish band who toured with Belle and Sebastian. Stuart Murdoch, (B and S songwriter) claimed didnât realise the words had a different meaning and that the phrase worked well in the lyrics 
Iâm pretty sure that at the time (in the early days of the Internet), I Googled Arab Strap and it suggested it was a device for horses.
Now, I can only find cock ring definitions.
I may have made everything up.
Cunts.
pS great album.
I love Belle & SebastianâŠhave done since the late '90s and have most of their output. I read somewhere that they took quite a bit of flack for the âpopinessâ of their latest album, âHow to Solve Our Human Problemsâ
I donât get the criticismâŠI love it and just as important the Missus does too. ![]()
Oboe always makes me cryâŠOK Iâm weirdâŠ
Why am I only just finding out David Byrne & Brian Eno were a thing? Why did nobody tell me it was (unsurprisingly) this good?
We all got together a while ago and felt youâd enjoy it more if you discovered it organically. Took your fucking time though mate 
You fuckers donât deserve me

Love some of Enoâs stuff, he did some work on the soundtrack for dune which was awesome, add some bongos and a bit of hi-hat and you get about 7 minutes of something that puts me into a bit of a trance (kicks in about 1min30).
Enjoyed that. Definitely get the trance vibe too. Had to tap and drum to it - couldnât sit still.
Youâre this years Sotonians charity case.
We thought weâd patronise someone else other than Bletch this year.

I keep going back to this videoâŠvery intense but a wonderful combination of vocal and electronica. Last yearâs eponymous Loney Dear album was my album of the yearâŠendlessly inventive with a stark beauty. Had the âBig Chocolate Cakeâ removed from my ear (aka stitches) and my new Sony headphons are fuckinâ amazing. ![]()
Sorry, I missed this when you posted it a while back.
Thank you.
Stuck in my office catching up on reports and paperwork, underworld (loudly) helping me get through it ![]()
