Actually, that line that to which St. Zaxxon refers is a bit of clever wordplay - it has nothing to do with a band (these lyrics are from memory of four years ago when I had this album on constant repeat):

Quote

You were laid on your back with the boy:

with the arab strap
from the arab strap


The first instance suggests that she's "laid on her back" meaning she's on her back and the boy who owns an "arab strap" has had intercourse with her supine form.

The second suggests that it is the arab strap that is responsible for laying her on her back - like it knocked her right on her back.

Anyway, great song.  I liked "If You're Feeling Sinister" better, and "Fold Your Hands Child" wasn't really all that good at all IMO.

But I really like the new one.  I know what you mean by "I'm a Cuckoo" being a great song, but that very first track is just FOURTEEN KINDS OF AWESOME.

In fact, it will be on my 2nd disc of my mix disc set (which mails this week - PM me with your address if you want one and haven't already).

'Thought at Work' is a great song.  I love that album.  I thought about putting 'Water' on my mixdisc, but I have alzheimers and totally forgot about it when I was doing the compiling.  Damn, I was grooving to that disc all last summer.

The biography for the band Arab Strap (no relation to B&S) indicates that it is some sort of S&M-ish schlong-holding harness.


So is Arab Strap the new Steely Dan?

Quote from: "V-Adore"

If I'm recalling correctly, "Steely Dan" was the pet name given to a dildo in Naked Lunch..


The one in the book was Steely Dan III, if I recall correctly. Led to some bewildersome ancestry questions for me.

Also, the Belle&Sebastian song/album are named after the band- apparently they were friends, or fans or something (both are veryveryscottish, anyways)


Actually, what I meant to imply is that Arab Strap (the band) is the new Steely Dan (the band) because they are both named after sex toys.
