Arab Strap - PhilophobiaPhilophobia, Arab Strap's sophomore slam dunk released in the spring of 1998, begins with one of the most memorable opening lines in all of indie rock: "It was the biggest cock you'd ever seen, but you've no idea where that cock has been."

Philophobia, Arab Strap's sophomore slam dunk released in the spring of 1998, begins with one of the most memorable opening lines in all of indie rock: "It was the biggest cock you'd ever seen, but you've no idea where that cock has been." So begins an album that, while picking up thematically where the duo's debut album The Week Never Starts Round Here left off, promises from it's very first seconds a renewed sense of purpose: the narratives are more streamlined, the music more confident and mature. Gone are the sketches and doodles that unquestionably distinguished 1996's The Week Never Starts Round Here as the work of first timers, replaced with a consistent, almost conceptual, musical framework. On Philophobia, singer and lyricist Aidan Moffat's realism is more profane, gritty and poignant, while multi-instrumentalist Malcolm Middleton's honeyed orchestrations increasingly provide clinics in subtlety and restraint.
Part of the appeal of Arab Strap's post-everything music is the way the group's songs make every listener feel like either a voyeur or a trusted confidante. The ever-present humanity in future sex advice columnist Moffat's first person tales of debauchery and regret is a through-line running through each of these frank and vivid songs: the same narrator who confesses to sniffing his fingers after a sexual encounter and boasts about the size of his penis also yearns to "hug" a lover to death, finds himself crying on the bus, and wonders idly-but hopefully-whether or not he's truly in love with the woman he's just slept with. It is this duality, complemented by Middleton's imaginative and deeply sensitive accompaniment, that makes Philophobia one of the most original and most enduring front-to-back albums in the canon of modern indie rock; over two decades later, it still sounds warm to the touch.

Great for Any Inside Area
Size: 10 Ft, Color: White
I bought two of these these for my office at work and the power is unstable and there are not many outlets (work for the schools) and the building is old - built in 1977. These have done the trick and I have had no issues with my electronics.

Perfect for my home office!
Size: 10 Ft, Color: Black
This 10 ft power strip has been a game changer for my home office. The cord is super long, which makes it easy to run along the wall or under furniture without any weird stretching. I really like the flat plug—it fits snugly behind my desk and doesn’t take up space like bulky ones do.
The 7 outlets are spaced well so I can actually use all of them without the plugs getting in each other’s way. The 4 USB ports (especially the 2 USB-C ones) are super handy for charging my phone, tablet, and earbuds without needing extra adapters. Everything charges quickly, and it feels solid and well-made.
I also like knowing it has surge protection built in, especially with how many electronics I have plugged in. Definitely recommend this if you want something that’s sleek, efficient, and built to handle a modern setup.

Great so far
Size: 6 FT, Color: White
The first thing I liked about this is that the on/off switch has a mark on the ON side, unlike my last Belkin power strip, which had a switch where you couldn't tell which side was on or off. That Belkin was remote, which I really wanted, but the Belkin remote never worked reliably even from the start, so I'm happy with a surge protector without a remote but where I don't have to guess whether it's on or off if I can't see the light on the device plugged into it. Very reliable and solid performance so far and I also especially like the generous amount of space between the outlets - enough for the biggest plug without getting crowded. Also it's not heavy & clunky like some. And the 6 foot cord length works great, too - a big difference with the usual 5 foot cord. Also has 2 USB slots which I can use to charge my iPhone and USB chargers. All this at a decent price and it's not clunky or ugly. Have been using it daily all day for 3 months now with zero problems.
