I like this band, I think they sound like what the smiths would sound like if they weren't horrible crap. i downloaded the CD "Elephant Shoe" i reccomend it for anyone into slow indie rock. |

Smiths. Horrible crap. OK. Anyway, I think Arab Strap are good. I don't remember. |

Arab Strap sound like non-crap The Smiths, that's the laziest, most misguided utter fuck-ulate I have ever had the misfortune to have smeared on my eye-globes. Arab Strap sound exactly like what two dypsos get up to when they find a 4 track and a poorly tuned guitar. |

Arab Strap a good The Smths is like saying the Scatman's a half decent Global Communications. |

i bought their first album when it came out in 96. there are some moments of utter crap on it (ie. general plea to a girlfriend) but some really good tracks too. saw them live shortly afterwards. good set, especially as they played several new tunes with electronic backing (really spaced out housey beats with shimmery guitars & aidan's mumbled diatribes).. they were intensely drunk throughout their set (which is neither here nor there really, but at least they managed not to let it spoil the set).. bought a 12" shortly after with a nice a-side + some pretty boring b-sides. i couldnt sustain my interest in buying their albums beyond that.. theres usually something else i would rather spend my money on. theyve meant to have done some decent stuff over the last 7years.. but i wouldnt know which records to get. they strike me as one of those bands you could make a great (double?) cd by taking the best from all their releases. ..? |

hows things? |

yeah not bad. things have all gone quiet on the magazine i was supposed to be working on.. so im having to devise a plan b, plan c, plan d + so on. need to make change a soon, for all kinds of reasons.. aaanyway, other than that im doing ok. hows things at the bomb? i havent been to nottingham for more than a few hours in a fortnight or so - anything exciting happening? |

well, apparently theres a new club opening, did you know.........? nothing much has been happening. laurent garnier is playing at the bomb next month, have been toying with the idea of getting mr hawtin down again too. expensive though. i dont really know whats going on elsewhere in town, i'm always too busy to have a look. is the magazine still running? keep on that is. |

keep on's still going, yes.. it was a sideproject that i was supposed to be getting involved in. but its a case of if & when.. and i can't be waiting around forever. i know about the new club.. 'stealth' isn't it? met some of the guy involved a couple of months ago. shouldnt be too long before their opening should it? i know its competition for you guys.. but i do think it would be good for nottingham's nightlife to diversify its club scene a bit. the bomb's been more or less the only one for waaaay too long. media's history has been thoroughly patchy. the garvey doesnt count as a club.. more of a crack-hole with a big soundsystem (good fun though) + other than that, its a couple of sticky, sweaty student dives (ocean/palais) + countless chrome+pine poser bars.. not good. i reckon a new proper music-oriented club will be healthy competiton for the town centre. you mentionned laurent garnier before.. should be good if i can make it. |
