It's Tuesday. We're almost halfway through the work-week. Professionals everywhere look to tomorrow as the day on which they're "over the hump," and this weekend seems closer than last weekend. Meanwhile, their work is beginning to suffer due to a lack of concentration. Maybe it's the absence of Adderall in their daily pill regimen, but it could also be that they've forgotten the ten simple steps for maintaining a healthy relationship with their jobs. No worries, the geniuses at MSN and Career Builder.com have come up with a brilliant list of the Ten Things You [...]
Should probably turn over a new leaf. Not been looking after myself well. Any excuse to post this song. MP3: Arab Strap - The Shy Retirer from The Shy Retirer EP
Oh, dear. Why is it that when I try my hardest I have the most difficult time communicating? It's so, so exhausting. Oh yeah: Happy New Year.
Party on, ladies and gentlemen. But don't drink too much. Be safe. Be happy. Beware that there are only a couple days left until school and/or work start up again. On second thought, drink until you pass out. Happy New Year.

Just a few Christmas songs to get you through the next day or so. I wish all of you that celebrate Christmas a wonderful happy day filled with lots of good food, friends, family and of course presents! Aimee Mann "You're A Mean One Mr. Grinch" Arab Strap "Christmas (Baby, Please Come Home" (Darlene Love cover) Asobi Seksu "Merry Christmas (I Don't Want To Fight Tonight)" (The Ramones cover) Belle & Sebastian "The Twelve Days of Christmas" Fuzzy "Christmas" (Florence Dore [...]
The race for the Christmas number one is closing in on the finishing line and the Devil's UK readers can help to prevent the the evil Cowell and ITV hype their karaoke puppet from achieving the coveted Christmas number one. Arab Strap's Malcolm Middleton , has released 'We're All Going To Die' the perfect antidote to the false bonhomie and forced happiness of the season and would make the perfect song for a karaoke competition between Ebeneezer Scrooge [...]

I know, it's the first day this month I haven;t posted, the internet was down yesterday. Anyway, as anyone who has been anywhere near this blog in the last six weeks should be aware, yesterday was the release of Malcolm Middleton's bid for the Christmas No.1with 'We're All Going To Die.' So, here's an acoustic version of the track: Malcolm Middleton -'We're All Going To Die (Acoustic).' mp3 Malcolm's old band, Arab Strap, are winding down their website, a year after their last gig, and here's a Christmassyish track from [...]
There's a Christmas song on here, but it's a really bleak one. In similarly-related news, if you're in the UK, perhaps you might want to buy the new Malcolm Middleton single today? It's really good, actually. If you like the music, you should use some of your hard-earned money to buy it. If you're in Rhode Island, maybe you might want to do that at Tom's Tracks, which is closing after 23 years on Thayer Street. The whole store's half off. 1. Tom Vek, Nothing But Green Lights [...]
I game for getting this the number one christmas hit. So merry christmas! An as an extra christmas bonus, it sholuld be mentioned, that as a celebration (?) of the closing of the Arab Strap website , Aidian Moffat and Malom Middleton is offering a free download of a previously unreleased song. Again, merry something. To all good night (mp3)
De officiële Arab Strap-site gaat uit de lucht nu de band al ongeveer een jaar pleite is. Tot het beeld op zwart gaat is er nog een unreleased track te downloaden en da's een live-versie van het kerstlied To All A Good Night . Ergens live in Europa tijdens de Monday At The Hug And Pint-tour. Cheers.

This week's mix: some soul, some country, some 80's college rock, and some good old Boston punk. As usual, if you like the music, go buy it, preferably at a real store that could actually use your money. Because these songs are only here until next week's mix goes up.

Gah! All sorts of real life shite is keeping me away from my old matey the laptop, so blogs have been suffering. However, by next week I hope to have reported back from Modeselektor (was a funnee mongfest), Animal Collective (I'm worried I've left myself open to severe disappointment 'cos I fully expect this gig to be the closest my secular little brain will come to seeing the sun jig about in the sky at Mejugorje) and Deerhunter (another potential gig of the year). Cripes! Normally I put up a fun go-gettem' tune for the weekend. But it's November, [...]
You might have to be familiar with Arab Strap to get how fantastic these covers are, but then again, maybe not. This is from a 2003 live album they pressed and sold themselves. (On their final tour, they frequently covered "It's A Heartache" by Bonnie Tyler!) Arab Strap - Why Can't This Be Love/You Shook Me All Night Long from the perfect, phenomenal, and naturally out-of-print The Cunted Circus .

the relaunch... I first must apologize for the lack of updates recently... I recently started my first year of law school. Between quitting work, taking some much need relaxation time and the beginning of school I simply have not had the time or energy to devote to running the blog... One of the first things they told us in orientation this week was to make sure you find distractions from law to keep us sane. Whether it be exercise, a hobby or anything else, the message was clear.. find time to do something fun. I have [...]
En la última Rockdelux sale una revisión a Arab Strap, una de esas - muchas - grandes bandas de los 90s que han pasado completamente desapercibidas para el público común. En dicha revisión, aparte de contar un poco de la historia de la banda, recalcar cuales son sus mejores discos - y canciones -, y establecer comparaciones entre sus dos integrantes, incluyeron un dato que me agradó demasiado.
Ballboy Genre: Indie / Alternative / Rock From: Edinburgh, Scotland One of those bands for whom the term indie was invented, the seriously underrated, perennial Peel favourites Ballboy, have a new podcast available for download at their website (see below). You can also see what a marvelous time they had on their recent trips to New [...]
I'm well behind on this one.. I was in the car flicking through Mp3's and came across Arab Strap's 'Elephant Shoe' album again. Great stuff!
