A tune that I like to simply call “chill” because it’s mellow and underwhelmingly epic.

Pictures From Arctic Monkeys HoB
Review coming at a time to be determined.
Arctic Monkeys H & E
Hopes: I hope they open with hey hey, we’re the Monkees… oh wait, wrong Monkeys lol. I hope the British boys play all of my favorite tracks of course, most of which appear on Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I Am Not. My favorite AM number is “Riot Van,” so I strongly wish they perform this, even though it is highly unlikely. “Teddy Picker,” “Secret Door,” and “Cornerstone,” would be more than nice as well. Lastly, I want this to be one of the best concerts I’ve ever seen, over an hour of rockin rolling, and placed in my top 10.
Expectations: I expect that they will play “The View From the Afternoon,” “I Bet You Look Good On the Dance Floor,” and maybe one other off Whatever… I anticipate that they will play “Fluorescent Adolescent” and a few other tracks from Favourite Worst Nightmare. Most of the songs will come from their latest release, Humbug/. They will play for about an hour and it will be a great show in my top 15.

Porno Music Video
First, Girls experimented with gay pornography in their video for “Lust for Life.”
Now, Massive Attack has gone the porno route with a 1973 film featuring commentary from the actress (Georgina Spelvin, now about eighty years old) who starred in it.
Fine. Here’s the link for said nude art (can under-18s watch it since it is a music video?)”Paradise Circle”: http://special.the-raft.com/massiveattackdvd/paradisecircus_full.swf

Top 5 Songs of 2009
Jay Attacked @ Austin Gig
Jay Reatard’s Publicist:
“Jay was attacked, totally unprovoked, by two different people, both of whom were later arrested. One guy bolted onstage and came swinging at Jay, but security took him away pretty quickly. Soon after (the band hadn’t stopped playing, by the way), another guy sprinted onstage and hit Jay. Unlike the first guy, Jay didn’t even see this guy coming. So Jay defended himself with the mic stand until security took that guy away, too. Jay is safe and unhurt, and the cops were there for about an hour afterwards. The two guys were arrested, but I’m not sure exactly what the formal charges were or where they are now.”
Creeps.
Sonic Youth’s Future
BBC
Sonic Youth aren’t a band who shy away from hard work; they’ve already recorded an astounding 16 albums since forming back in 1981 and they’ve told 6 Music News there are plans in the pipeline to release a follow-up to their latest offering, The Eternal.“We’re probably going back into the studio next year,” said the band’s Lee Ranaldo.
However, before they start writing the next album, they’re working on the soundtrack for a French teen film, which Ranaldo is very excited about; “We met the director in Paris and we liked what we saw.”
The band is also securing plans for a DVD release, combining footage from their recent 2007/2008 Daydream Nations tour. It will also include historic archive footage of them playing the record back in 1988.
Sonic Youth never gets old, literally (Thurston Moore’s appearance) and figuratively.
