This is the band with the boy, right? |
I don't know what you mean by that to tell you the truth.
I only recently got into them through my liking of the electro duo "Dirty Hospital" who did a remix on the "Shy Retirer EP".
They have some OK tracks. |

Saw Arab Strap open for bright eyes a couple years back.
One of the worst sets i've ever seen live.
Heard their albums were good though. |

The reference is to Belle & Sebastian's album entitled The Boy with the Arab Strap. |

Good call, Woland!
Here is the title song off the album: Boy with the Arab Strap.
Here is info from Wikipedia:
| Quote: |
The inspiration for the album's name came from the band Arab Strap, who are also from Scotland and briefly toured with Belle & Sebastian. An Arab strap is a sexual device for retaining an erection.
Arab Strap were reportedly less than pleased with their inclusion in the title of the album. When questioned about it, Arab Strap's leader/singer, Aiden, said "They have a sense of humor." Malcolm, the band's instrumentalist, added, "Because Arab Strap is quite an interesting name. The words go well together. That's why we chose it as a band name. We're friends with them, but there's a limit to putting someone else's name on an album. They�re taking away something from us." He also mentioned that the album had been confused as a collaboration between the bands.

Embarrassingly enough, I've been listening to 80s pooftas the Pet Shop Boys rather a lot.
Actually, before PSB alienated their heterosexual audience by becoming fully-fledged gay-as-fook, they had some outstanding material. |

La Oreja de Van Gogh and Extremoduro.
I've been fruitlessly trying to download a band called Jarabe de Palo as well. |
Good stuff, esp. Jarabe de Palo and La Oreja from Spain. Also try Hombres G and Mana plus countless other good stuff. I'm a Shakira fan back in her early days. |

Did you see he's coming out with his first new album (of pop) in 30 years? It'll be interesting to see what it turns out to be like. I don't know that I'd rush out to buy it without listening to some samples first. |

| Chiasm (her new CD), NIN, Rob Zombie, 50 Cent, Madonna (Confessions on a dance floor- jump), and Judas Priest's "Revolution", have been rocking my iTunes this month. |
