Someone said a couple of days ago that they thought B&S fans fell into 2 camps, obscure indiepoppers or Manics/Suede types. I've been thinking about this, and I reckon the vast majority of people on this list seem to fall into just one category; that our musical tastes are eclectic. When we find some music we like, we'll buy it and listen to it; it doesn't matter what type of music it is. After all, that's probably how most of us got into B&S in the first place.
I totally agree. I like BRA, Marylin Mansun, Hootie &TB, and many others and don't care what anybody else thinks.
On another matter, this business of basically talking over an instumental track isn't unique to Arab Strap by any means. Pulp have made it one of their trademarks, and even Blur have done it (with some success) on Essex Dogs. It may not have a name yet (any suggestions?)
I've always called it speak-a-pop and it has been done by loads of people before. Theres a couple of cool examples on the Abuse Your Freinds album sampler. A b-side on the new Strangelove single is apparently patrick reading his diary (aloud :o) over a moody backing. They did this before with the excelent track "Ghost Haddock" on the Beautiful Alone single. Richard Anderson. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .
