"Well, see you later innovator!"
Tomorrow marks the release of the sophomore album by UK indie darlings, the Arctic Monkeys. Coming less than a year on the heels of the much hyped (and mega-selling) debut, advance buzz indicates that Favourite Worst Nightmare is going to be well worth checking out. If the rest of it lives up to the promise of lead single "Brianstorm", I'm inclined to agree. Whet your appetite by watching the new-rave mocking "Brianstorm" video here, or checking out a couple recent B-sides below.
Arctic Monkeys f. Dizzee Rascal - "Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend" (taken from Brianstorm)
One of the more recent B-sides, this track features the excellent UK grime/rap sensation Dizzee Rascal dropping rhymes on a tale of wandering too close to that line that separates friends from lovers.
Arctic Monkeys - "Put Up Your Dukes, John" (taken from Leave Before the Lights Come On)
A fine example of why this band's B-side output shouldn't be neglected.
