New video from one of the best bands in the world. Featuring one of the ugliest girls ever to play the lead in any music video ever. Score!

This song was out ATLEAST a month ago. In fact, the album was out in January, but it’s been getting a lot of exposure on the radio for a while now.

The video has JUST been released.

Better late than never I guess?

Awesome tune.

If a report in today’s Daily Star is to be believed, Arctic Monkeys are planning to release their third album this year.

Alex Turner and co. are apparently busy at work in a London studio recording the follow-up to ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’ and are intent on making it a hattrick of albums in just three years.

A ‘source’ said: “A lot of people were surprised to see Arctics at the Brits as it’s usually the kind of event they steer clear of.

“The reason they went is because they’ve been down in London working on new material and fancied a night off to relax.

“Alex is overflowing with song ideas and it’s all going so well they’re looking at releasing an album this year.”

If that’s not enough to satisfy Arctic Monkeys aficionados, Alex Turner’s album with The Rascals’ Miles Kane, ‘The Last Shadow Puppets’, hits the shelves on April 21.

Great news.

I’m not a big fan of this “The Last Shadow Puppets” shit… but I will save my opinions for the full length LP as I weren’t a big fan of the Arctic Monkeys when they first came around.

Arctic Monkeys are so good it hurts. I can’t wait to hear more from them \o/.

New video from an awesome band called Vampire Weekend. Remember the name.

The Arctic Monkeys headlined Glastonbury on Friday night. They promised a surprise cover during their set, and with it they paid tribute to Shriley Bassie (who also performed at Glasto this weekend) by attempting “Diamonds are Forever”. Here’s how it went:

A bit tame, but interesting nonetheless.

Here’s the new music video for the best song from the AM’s sophomore album, and its also their next single, this is “Fluorescent Adolescent”:

I don’t really get the correlation between the video and the song but whatever, it’s pretty entertaining. Clowns fighting? Never expected that. It’s such a fantastic song. Glad they decided to release it.

More Arctic goodness for you.

Radio One have gone a bit A.M. mad in the past week or two as they await the new album, Favourite Worst Nightmare (see below). They’ve aired a Documentary about the Sheffield band, had them host a show of their own, interviewed on Zane Lowe and also played an exclusive gig at the London Astoria…

And here it is. A mixture of tracks from their first album and the new one, Arctic Monkeys - Live At The London Astoria, enjoy!

The Arctic Monkeys sophomore album, ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’, has found its way on to the web three weeks before its official release. How do I know? Because I’m listening to it now. On first, second and third listens I’m thinking that this isn’t quite what their first album was (but thats not surprising is it?) but if you were a fan of ‘WPSAMTWIN’ then you should enjoy ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’.

The Monkeys keep their signature style but it sounds a lot more polished than it did when they first broke onto the charts.

- New Arctic Monkeys single, “Brianstorm”, has made its way onto the net. Zane Lowe played it 3 times last night on Radio 1, and thus someone taped it and put it on the web. Therefore the quality is pretty shitty, but better than nothing. Click here to download “Brianstorm”.

- FINALLY a new album to celebrate. Consequence’s “Don’t Quit Your Day Job” is a release from Kanye West’s GOOD music imprint. Consequence follows in the footsteps of Common, John Legend and Rhymefest as Mr. West’s side-projects when he’s not buying Louis Voutton or Gucci. I’ve heard one or two features and songs from Consequence, and all have been fairly promising. Kanye West’s production and handling of Common, J. Legend and Rhymefest have been excellent - I’ve enjoyed all of those releases and when I get back from Uni, I expect I’ll enjoy “Don’t Quit Your Day Job”.

- This past week I’ve come across hyped Detroit producer Black Milk, apparently ‘the next big thing’ in the hip-hop world. So I’ve uploaded “Sound the Alarm” for your listening pleasure, the video featuring Guilty Simpson can be seen here. Black Milk also has an online EP which you can listen to here. I’m yet to form an opinion.

- Whilst we’re talking hip-hop, I urge any fan to watch the new Bone Thugs-N-Harmony video, “I Tried” featuring Akon, which has only just surfaced. I’m not a big Bone Thugs-N-Harmony fan, nor am I the biggest admirer of Akon, but I am a fan of when mainstream rap moves away from guns, cars, bitches and weed. The video is an early contender for video of the year in my opinion, although I don’t expect it to make its way across the atlantic to British TV. Bone Thugs never really have made that transition. Anyway I’m waffling now. Go watch the video.

- And then read this interview with highly underated rap duo Clipse. Well, one half of Clipse.

- Manchester United play away to Liverpool tomorrow afternoon. Should they win, and it’s a very big task (Anfield always is) - they’d stand 12 points ahead of nearest challengers Chelsea. Granted, Chelsea will have two games in hand but even then the most they can register is 6 points and the constant arms-length distance that United have had from Chelsea remains at 6 points. The longer that barrier is kept the harder its going to be for Chelsea to break it. I think they play Portsmouth away this weekend, which won’t be an easy game considering Portsmouth’s season and it will be made more difficult by knowing they could, possibly, be trying to make up a 12 point gap. Come on United!

- New robwoolford.com layout. The last one looked a little generic and like most ‘blogs’, so I felt I had to change it. Granted this one isn’t as individual as it could be but it’s better than before. Besides, orange is great. More orange = more fun.
