I end up with something like this in my inbox:</p> <blockquote><p> <i>Updated Friday 8th September, 2006<br /> Yes, it&#39;s the end for Arab Strap. After ten years, six studio albums, three live albums and all manner of everything else, we&#39;ve decided the story should come to a close. There&#39;s no animosity, no drama, we simply feel we&#39;ve run our course and The Last Romance seems to us the most obvious and logical final act of the Arab Strap studio adventure. Everybody likes a happy ending!<br /> We will, of course, be celebrating. Our anniversary compilation, &#39;Ten Years Of Tears&#39;</i></p></blockquote> arab strap News Fri, 08 Sep 2006 13:19:38 +0000 liz 1331 at http://excellentonline.com
