While reading various forums I found out that the band had put a video up showing about 30 seconds of the band playing “Pretty Visitors”. The sound of it was kinda muffled, but that was ok since we already have heard it from them on live vids. Today, I stumbled across a 25 second track [...]
Arctic Monkeys third full length, Humbug (due August 24 in the UK), is sure to get a Mercury Prize nominee, a couple of BRITs, and at least 9 NME Shockwave Awards. I <3 hype, but I especially love it when the hype is justified. While LPs 1 and 2 have sorta kinda measured up, nothing [...]
Drummer for the Arctic Monkeys Matt Helder said that the Arctic Monkeys could be finished with their new album by the end of November. He said to the Guardian: "We're gonna do a bit more recording next month and then we'll probably be in here for most of December getting ready to go out again, We made a start on it a few weeks ago and we're gonna go back and try and finish it off. That'll be ...
I'm not much of one for a bandwagon, but when this one passed my door I stepped right on. To be fair to myself, I was one of the lucky few who had a snaffle of the Arctic Monkeys work before they hit the big time by way of unreleased material via a friend of a friend. I've proudly watched them grow from fan-based obscurity to riding the crest of mega-stardom with barely a wobble. I've even wea...
Shot on the final night of the band's 2007 world tour, the live video from the Arctic Monkeys called "At The Apollo" presents a special, unique opportunity to view a live DVD concert in a big theater atmosphere. The film...

And rather than recording in the UK, the band will relocate to the Californian desert to work on songs for their third album: "Yes, they're gonna come out to the desert,"...
I wanted to like this gig..no in fact I wanted to love it... seeing one of my favourite bands of all time for the second time this year, in a smaller, more powerful venue, it had all the ingredients of a memorable night. And memorable it was, but for all the wrong reasons.Within twenty minutes of getting through the doors two fights had nearly erupted and rumours of people pissing on the floor ...

I've been dreaming about attending a gigantic festival ever since I started buying music magazines and reading reviews about them. True, it doesn't compare to seeing a band in an intimate venue, but it has a charm of its own. It's an experience, one which I never had before. Festivals in Greece are very small (2 stages tops), and I've only been at a small one in London and one with a well-behav...

*Betty and the Werewolves show* [http://www.myspace.com/bettyandthewerewolves]Met up with Lizzie and her fantastic, music-loving mother for the first time, had good Thai and proceeded to the King's Cross venue, which is a lovely one (you can't go wrong with a bar/venue which has a lamp that instead of normal lamp parts has female legs in heels and a skirt).I discovered that Lizzieness is fun, p...
Alternative post titles: Perhaps Obsession Is A Bit Strong But..., A Certain Obsession, Favourite Worst Obsession.Hello, my name is Anna and I am an Arctic Monkeys addict (Arcticmonkics Eponymous). Ever since I saw them live in June, I've been listening to what can only be characterized as an unhealthy amount of their music. Not a day has gone by that I don't spin at least 20 songs of theirs. I...
