To anybody interested: Arab Strap (previous support band for B&S) are playing live on the Mary Ann Hobbs show, on Radio 1 tonight.

Paul Mitchell - who are you? :) I don't recall the name from any messages on the old list. How about an introduction, if you have not done one yet?

Someone who also really likes Arab Strap too so this is much appreciated! Hmm well there's a couple of embarrassing sentences on the mailing list web page, but suffice to say I work at the University of Edinburgh, fell in love with B&S when I heard "Sinister" and spent some time wondering whether I should set up a mailing list. In fact I spent so long that David Kitchen did it as Stuart David pointed out, but it turned out that it wasn't working well. So this is an attempt to make it better - we'll see. Other than that I spend most of my money on lots of different music, and am one of these thirty-somethings who doesn't think music is crap these days. Once in a while a band doesn't get off my CD player and B&S took over from Tindersticks. Paul and Linda have two cats called Splat and Shirl and if they get another they will probably call it Elvis. Oh, and I'm not the guy who invented the hair products. I get mail every two months from someone in the States asking if they can sell my conditioner or shampoo - honestly.
