Arctic Monkeys ( )

Postby iamsheena on Thu Oct 09, 2008 4:24 pm

I was torn between posting this here or in the Discussion/Debate forum as the Music forum's description asked if I was a budding musician, etc. (no, I'm not ... not close) and this is not such a topic. I ended up putting it here because, well, I don't know if there'd be much discussion.

Anywho, is anyone here a fan of the Arctic Monkeys? I know like two people offline who like them ... including me. I just woud like to say that I lurve them! My goodness, the first song I ever heard from them was Brianstorm like a year ago and I just loved it so looked them up and was introduced to a brand new world! I love their music; they sing with their accents, which I just adore. It's crazy when somebody has like a southern accent and then sings with an english one (I've heard/seen it). They're just not like that.

I'd have to say my favourite songs include .. a lot .. but I like Bigger Boys and Stolen Sweethearts, Mardy Bum, Riot Van, Space Invaders, When the Sun Goes Down, Fluorescent Adolescent, their cover of Baby, I'm Yours, and the list continues -- they litter my ipod and I love it. Huge Fan ... although if I saw one of them on the streets I wouldn't be the wiser - but musicians are meant to be heard, not seen anyway.

They have come to Canada I think once and that was before I joined the fan base, and they were in other provinces that weren't my own anyway. I think they're in Australia at the moment? But yeah ... are there any other fans on here and if so, what's your favourite song from them?

:]

I've only heard Brianstorm so far, and I really liked its ridiculously fast-paced drumming. Not to mention the music video was psychedelic.

I've never actually seen that video. I've seen like one and a half videos (When the Sun Goes Down and half of I Bet That You Look Good on the Dance Floor)a nd those were both my accident. I never actually searched their videos. But yes, I love the drumming - it's fantastic in all their songs, I think. I <3 them :]

Favourite Arctic Monkeys song??

Has to be a tie between Fluorescent Adolescent and D is for Dangerous, although the majority of their songs are top-notch.
You look at a person and think, what role do they play in my game?? Are they a white piece or a black piece?? A pawn or a rook?? In the end, no matter what you decide it will always be your game, and in your game, you are always King.

To sleep: perchance to dream: ay, there's the rub;
For in that sleep of death what dreams may come
When we have shuffled off this mortal coil.

Fantastic! I was into both those songs when I first .. obtained them. I really have taken a liking to Leave Before the Lights Come On and Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secure (long titles!) and of course, Temptation Greets You Like A Naughty Friend - I love the little english accent rappy part. Lovely :]

Also: is your (Chaon) signature (the second part) from Hamlet? I enjoyed that play even when having to rush through reading it for the English deadline. It was marvelous.
