BOCfan Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 I've only just discovered the wondrous Waxing Gibbous, by former Arab Strap alumni Malcolm Middleton, and it's one of the best albums I've heard in ages! I think I remember reading a few positive reviews, but never got around to checking it out until now. Any fans out there? I've heard this is supposed to be one of his most upbeat albums, but are there any other albums I should check out?

lumpenprol Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) no idea about the artist but that is a horrendous album title. Reduntant, no? It's like calling your album "growing grown" edit: now "waxing gibbons", with a photo of a hairless gibbon howling, would have made a good cover Edited September 7, 2009 by lumpenprol Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide lumpenprol's signature Hide all signatures After this I listened to geogaddi and I didn't like it, I was quite vomitting at some tracks, I realized they were too crazy for my ears, they took too much acid to play music I stupidly thought (cliché of psyché music) But I knew this album was a kind of big forest where I just wasn't able to go inside. - lost cloud I was in US tjis summer, and eat in KFC.

Reduntant, no? It's like calling your album "growing grown" No, waxing means growing bigger and gibbous means protuberant. A waxing gibbous moon is growing in size and appearing to bulge out.

lumpenprol Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 (edited) hm. I was going purely on the way I've seen the words used in context in literature, back when I, you know, read books. You either see "the moon was waxing" (in the process of getting full) or "it was a gibbous moon" (ie., full). So "waxing gibbous" seems somewhat redundant. Regardless, it's certainly pretentious. edit: and I have bothered to look it up now, I guess you can have both waxing and waning gibbous moons. Whaddya know.

mosca Posted September 7, 2009 Report Share Posted September 7, 2009 that album aidan did recently with all his old demo's of arab strap stuff on it is quite funny - but only because i play on some of the tracks. malcolm and i got horsed from the arches one night and ended up on a christian aid homeless bus with some hookers and a guy who'd just been stabbed whilst stealing lead off a roof. true story. they're both cunts now tho.

Last time I mentioned Arab Strap on here you called me a cunt. What did you play? Which tracks. I love Aidans stuff but not so keen on Malcolms. Its alright but not great. Not heard Mals newest one though, will check it out.

Fluoxytine Seagull Alcohol John Nicotine and Into the Woods are worth a listen.
