Just been watching the NME Brat awards show on Channel 4 Arab Strap are absolute shite!!! Their set consisted of one fat Scottish bloke sitting on a stool and SAYING crap lyrics and then a pointless, non melodic crappy chorus of plain old guitars As I heard in "DreamTeam" yesterday.... "What a bunch of strokers" Ultrasound looking absolutely fucking brilliant though. What a song they placed!! I think I will see them at the Conway Hall in London now. I was gonna see Cornershop but naahhhh! bye Northy ________________________________________________ get up turn light on take gown don gown look inside pocket take analgesic _________________________________________________ ----------------------------------------------------------------------- .

Ummm, am i the only person who thinks Ultrasound are going to fall flat on their faces this year??? I may as well plug the snow patrol gig on Feb 12th at backyard @ water rats ... they are also playing dundee, glasgow, perth, edinburgh, manchester, oxford, bristol, leeds and norwich too, so if anyone wants the dates just mail me privately. I think Arab Strap are fantastic and i don't care if i can't always understand what Aidan is saying. enuff for now ... Katrina.
bye
Northy

Agreed.

I bought the album after everyone raved about it, but just can't be arsed listening to it. It's just dull dull DULL. The Delgados are about the only decent thing on Chemikal Underground. Can't be bothered with Mogwai either.

with support from Dawn of the Replicants who are also terribly ace. That's how I'm spending my Valentine's Day - at the Ultrasound concert. BTW, the NME tape that Ultrasound are on is the Oxford Sound City tape - I raked it out last night. Rod.

Sorry if this offends but it has come to the attention of my friend and I that "Century of Elvis" does undoubtedly sound like Arab Strap or Vica Versa (whatever) - 2 Scottish bands in singer-vocalike shock! And my friend Campbell went to the same school as Arab Strap. ---I might add that when I saw them "supporting" Gorky's in Dundee, everyone talked all through their set - it was like a choir on speed......Lx_________________________________________________
