I've heard about Arab Strap, but thought they were slightly more...um....drum 'n' bass -y than they obviously are. I'll certainly give it a listen - but what kind of band are they?

Have you heard the last weekend or whatever it was called? As I remember it was quite good on the radio, but I suppose it might get annoying after a while... it was a spoken word thing that was, as was widely remarked, a bit Trainspottingesque... I also remember reading a review of their album which said it was quite gloomy Scottish guitar music, not that that helps much. Go on someone, tell me I've made an embarassing mistake now and got the wrong band......... Hey, A Lad, re: the Verve and your eager promotion of them.Is it them that did that song with the fab strings? (da-da-daa, da-da-daa...) They play that at Poptastic quite a lot and I usually end up dancing to it, and I have a feeling someone told me it was the Verve...

And thanks and well done Paul for getting this new list set up.

All together: Hip hip.......
