Oh dear.
Arctic Monkey's Alex Turner has been working on a solo albm that he recorded with The Rascal's Miles Kane. Producer of the album James Ford told BBC 6 Music: "It's quite different sounding than the Arctics’ I think, It’s kind of ‘Sixties-y’ and there’s a lot of orchestration and stuff." I wonder what the album might sound like. In other Arctic Monkey news there has been rumors that the band has reached out to Justin Timberlake for a possible collaboration.

“X Factor” winner Leona Lewis might just smash the Arctic Monkey’s record for fastest selling debut album. Lewis’ album “Spirit” moved 130,000 units by Monday night, weekend projected sales exceed 400,000. That would squish the Arctic Monkey’s 363,735 units sold of “Whatever They Say I Am, Its What I’m Not” during its first week.
It seems [...]

Their careers have soared, but beneath all the hype, Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and solo artist Richard Hawley are just two northern lads who lie awake thinking up tunes. Dorian Lynskey listens to them swap stories

Lets face it, the Gym Class Heroes will never be as cool as the Arctics, but for those hardcore-Chokehold who need some convincing, take a well scrutinizing look at this melodramatic cover.
After the Arctic Monkeys’ 2006 over-hyped, over-blogged, over-publicized, over-the-top sucess with their triumphant debut, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, the lads got back in the studio to manufacture the extremely critized flop, Leave Before The Lights Come On, which was seen as an act of sell-outship. The witty damn-I-shouldn’t ‘ave-fucked-her lyrics shamed against the sure-fire signiture Arctic Monkeyness they seem do with their instruments, seems to pack as must action as any title track from Whatever…, proving that Alex Turner’s songcraft was unaffected by this hyped-blogged-publized-over-the-top-ness that seemed to surround the Arctics.
Why then did the Gym Class Heroes go out of their way to produce a sloppy version of it? Aft

Just learnt that Bullet For My Valentine will be supporting Metallica for their show at the new Wembley stadium on 8th July. Thats pretty awesome news for the boyos from Wales, to not only be supporting Hetfield and Co. but to also be playing Wembley is pretty wicked and reward for their hard work in recent months putting the new album together, which I think is out this year so i am eagerly awaiting that.LINKI have heard and now own a copy of the new Arctic Monkeys song - "Brianstorm" from the forthcoming album "Favourite Worst Nightmare" which is released on the 23rd of April. It's cool, pretty much as you'd expect from them, with the wicked guitar work and vocals. Its got a real punchy feel to it, especially near the end of the song where you think the song has ended but it cuts back in with a venom. Very good.
Its lunch time, we’re all hungry (updating from Boule Bakery in West Hollywood), and what better way to satisfy your hunger than with a new Arctic Monkeys track, coincidentally called “The Bakery”.Not a week ago, the Arctic Monkeys released “Fluorescent Adolescent”, the second single off of their sophomore album, Favourite Worst Nightmare. On one of the B-Sides of the single, the Arctics get a chance to show their softer side. On the track “The Bakery”, the boys leave behind their dancefloors and dreams of naughtiness, quite refreshing after their not so flattering “Brianstorm”.

This morning, for reasons that we can't begin to unravel, Victoria Newton has invested effort "proving" that the Arctic Monkeys and Alex have changed:[He] has always made a point of shunning the showbiz spotlight and acting like he is not affected by the fame game.But [...] maybe it is going to the cheeky monkey’s head.How so, Victoria? She points to two previous events:The band have become increasingly obsessed with fancy dress and recently wore clown costumes for a performance on JONATHAN ROSS’s BBC1 chat show.And earlier this year they wore Wizard Of Oz outfits to record their Brit Awards acceptance message — having shunned that ceremony, despite winning the two top gongs.Now, most people - even those not keen on the Monkeys - would interpret turning up to play a song on Ross' show dressed as a clown or accepting the Brits dressed as friends of Dorothy as being a shrug at the institution rather than an embrace of fame's tender caress.Besides, this is all somewhat old, so do
