"Like any good peyote trip, ‘Humbug’ can often feel sticky, claustrophobic, like your heart is going to explode and about a week long. Which isn’t to say it’s not often brilliant. Just that ‘Humbug’ extends ‘Favourite Worst Nightmare’’s trend for being squat and muscular right up to the border of brutishness."

25 MEJORES ALBUMES DE LA DÉCADA
25.- Run Come Save Me. El segundo álbum del rapero británico Roots Manuva, más digerible que el debut.
24.- Sonic Nurse. Álbum de Sonic Youth que como siempre, cuenta con calidad y buenas melodías.
23.- Alone With Everybody. El debut de Richard Ashcroft como solista, un buen álbum con un profundo sentimiento de amor.
22.- Echoes. Rock con sonidos electrónicos en este album de The Rapture, la banda ha crecido muchod esde entonces.
21.- The Eminem Show. Los raperos no son todos de color, Eminem entrega buenos sencillos y un buen álbum de hip-hop. d elo mejor de la década.
20.- Happy Birthday. Modeselektor.Música electrónica británica, de Bpitch Control, para mí uno de los mejores albumes, con colaboraciones interesantes y sencillos poderosos.
19.- Discovery. La música electrónica francesa gustaba a muchísimas personas, buenos sencillos y canciones que aún hoy ponen a bailar a todos.
18.- Merriweather Post Pavilion. Un álbum que desde las primeras semanas del año se perfilaba para estar en lo mejor del año y por ende de la década.
17.- Parachutes. El primer disco de Coldplay, alcamado por la crítica y llegando a los primeros puestos, britpop honesto y bien logrado.
A Rush Of Blood To The Head. El segundo album de Coldplay, britpop y punto.
16.-Elephant. Cuarto álbum de estudio de The White Stripes, el rock estadounidense evolucionó en un sonido crudo, sólo guitarra y batería, pero gracias al talento de Jack White la banda logró fama mundial.
15.- Demon Days. Damon albarn es un genio, todos sus proyectos son buenos, y este es de los mejores.
14.- The Libertines. El segundo álbum homónimo de la banda británica, influencia para muchos grupos y con buenos sencillos.
13.- Funeral. El debut de Arcade Fire, aclamado desde el principio se reafirmó como uno de los mejores trabajos musicales.
12.- In Rainbows. Una banda sobrevaluada hasta el extremo, reconozco que son buenos pero hasta ahí. Independientemente de eso, este album es elemental y muy importante por que cambió la forma de venta y distribución.
11.- Z.- El mejor album de My morning Jacket.
10.- Favourite Worst Nightmare. El segundo álbum de Arctic Monkeys, con un sonido más trabajado y letras más elaboradas este se reafirma como uno de los mejores trabajos, conserva el sonido del disco debut, aunue por momentos toma otra dirección.
9.- Turn On The Bright Lights. El debut de Interpol, un post punk oscuro y melodías que recuerdan a la extinta banda británica Jot Division, pero con un sello particular.
8.- Songs For The Deaf. canciones para el sordo, QOTSA entrega punk rock y letras oscuras.
7.- Empire. El segundo album de Kasabian, con sencillos poderosos, brit pop mezclado con sonidos electrónicos, creo que no hay mejor combinación.
6.- De-Loused In The Comatorium. El debut de The Mars Volta, cpnceptual, experimental además de que tiene una temática interesante aunque no necesariamente alegre. Definitivamente uno de los mejores discos de la década.
5.- Up The Bracket. El debut de the Libertines, rock británico que no pasó desapercibido, hoy en día sigo pensando que este es el mejor proyecto que han tenido Doherty y Barat.
4.- Abslution. El tercer álbum de Muse, rock británico que a pesar de ser sólo tres integrantes suena como si fueran diez.
Wolfmother. Album homónimo de la banda australiana, remite al sonido de Led Zeppelin.
3.- Highly Evolved. El debut de The Vines, rock al más puro estilo australiano, algunas veces llamado el Nirvana australiano.
2.- Is This It. Debut de The Strokes, uno de los álbumes más aclamados y no podía faltar en la lista de lo mejor de la década. Hay canciones que no pueden faltar en el soundtrack de la vida de una persona.
1.- Whatever People Say I Am That's what I'm Not. El debut de una de las mejores bandas británicas de la actualidad, de la década y definitivamente un disco que fue parteaguas en cuanto a la distribución y al alcance del internet. Letras excelentes y post punk británico bien estructurado. Seguramente Alex Turner uno de los mejores compositores de la década.
24.- Sonic Nurse. Álbum de Sonic Youth que como siempre, cuenta con calidad y buenas melodías.

ARCTIC POST: HUMBUG REVIEW
Luego de un par de años de descanso, Arctic Monkeys regresan con un disco balanceado y maduro, es diferente a los trabajos anteriores, atrás quedaron ya los riffs de “The View From The Afternoon” y ” Brianstorm”, con un sonido aún juvenil y por momentos estresante.
Este álbum cuenta con más melodías tranquilas y letras más personales, según dijo Alex Turner. Un punto a destacar es que el tiempo que pasaron en el desierto se ve reflejado en el sonido que ahora tiene la banda, más crudo y por momentos ácido, el bajo ahora tiene más peso y la batería también, los solos de guitarra ahora son más largos y consistentes, en definitiva estamos ante un trabajo que es un paso a la madurez en el sonido de la banda.
El track abridor “My Propeller” puede parecer irreconocible comparado con la fuerza de los trabajos anteriores, sin duda a primera instancia parece que bajaron la intensidad, pero a medida que corren los minutos el disco se va tomando forma, canciones como el primer sencillo “Crying Lightning” y “Potion Approaching” son por demás poderosas y remiten al rock de antaño (El riff de Potion Approaching es muy parecido a Very Ape de Nirvana) y se puede percibir la atmósfera del desierto, “Secret Door” y “Cornerstone” son claros ejemplos del rumbo que está tomando la banda actualmente.
“Fire And The Thud” tiene una atmósfera oscura y claramente es una lírica más personal, se escucha “The day after you stole my heart, everything i touched told me, It would be better shared with you”. Esa fue una característica en Humbug, lo cual hizo que al querer encontrar significado o razones a las canciones resulta difícil identificar de qué se tratan, desde el título que significa enemil cosas.
“Dance Little Liar” habla sobre un mentiroso (tal y como lo indica) y es una de las canciones que mejor forma han tomado en vivo, producida por Josh Homme.
Los temas más fuertes del álbum son “Pretty Visitors” y “Dangerous Animals”, con riffs poderosos y beats que emiten la energía de QOTSA, y “Pretty Visitors” da paso al último track; “The Jeweller’s Hands”, no es el clásico final para un disco de Arctic Monkeys, ya que los fans pueden recordar los finales anteriores (A Certain Romance y 505) y la fuerza que poseen.
En definitiva un buen disco que seguramente estará en las listas de lo mejor del año en varios sitios y revistas, no es el sonido definitivo que adoptarán, seguirán experimentando y sorprendiendo a propios y extraños, pero mientras eso pasa, han entregado un trabajo digno de por lo menos buenas críticas, ahora que lo han presentado en vivo continúa la constante de lo bien que son interpretando ante el público.
Mis impresiones de Humbug son buenas, no por nada Arctic Monkeys es la mejor banda de la década.

ARCTIC POST: NEW LYRICS
A estas alturas el disco se ha filtrado, pudiera parecer que 10 canciones es muy poco pero la calidad no ha disminuido y eso al final de cuentas es lo más importante.

My Propeller
If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller
It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy
Coax me out my, my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller
Crying Lightning
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying
Dangerous Animals
Pinned down by the dark
Been fighting with my sheets
Nearly crying in my sleep
Yes, I'm battering that welt-up gripe
The most frustrating type
You should have racing stripes
The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it in my chest
and you make me weeze
Into my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
makes my head pirouette
More than
I will be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The night it figits through
The photo soon revert to you
I'm about as bashful as a tribal dance
the first and final chance
and course the audience
are frighteners and theives
Divided up into, two teams
When the acrobat fell off the beam
She broke everyones heart
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
makes my head pirouette
More than
I will be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The most unsuitable bred
It's been long enough now
So lets
Make a mess, lioness
I'm pinned down by the dark
I'm pinned down by the dark
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S

Secret Door
Fools on parade
Cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
She swam out of tonight's phantasm
Grabbed my hand and made it very clear
There's absolutely nothing for us here
It's a magnolia celebration to be attempted on a Wednesday night
It's better than to get a reputation as a miserable little tyke
At least that's the conclusion she came to in this overture
The secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing
She's just giggling along
Her arms were folded most indignant
Not looking like she was soon to leave
I had to squint in order to believe
And then like a butler pushin on a bookshelf
I'm unveiling the unexpected
How he was ever gonna look to her
Should've been embarrassed and corrected
How could such a creature survive in such a habitat
The secret door swings behind us
She's saying nothing
She's just giggling along
And even if they were to find us
I wouldn't notice, I'm completely occupied
At all the fools on parade
Cavort and carry on
For waiting eyes
That you would rather be beside than in front of
But she's never been the kind to be hollowed by the stares
Fools on parade
Frolic and fuck about to make her gaze
Turn to a scribble on a page by a picture
That holds her options
But you're daft to think she'd care
Fools on parade
Fools on parade
Fools on parade conduct a sing-along
Potion Approaching
I was biting the timezone and we embellished the backs of our bloodstreams
and threw caution to the colourful
I then fell asleep in the car
until the bumps woke me up in your grip and the tide took me to your mouth
And swept me back down to your calms its them that put me inside the reminder
that yours is the only ocean
(yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from
(yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna hang on
I've got this ego mechanic. She’s always tryin' to give me vitamins.
I should be frightened of your reflection, I preferred her as a cartoon.
If I could be someone else for a week, I’d spend it chasing after you,
Cos she’s not shattered in my attitude, no matter how she folds the potion,
Yours is the only ocean
(Yours is the only ocean)
That I wanna swing from,
(yours is the roley ocean)
That I want to hang onto
(I’m swinging on)
Yours is the only ocean, yours is the roley ocean, yours is the only ocean, yours is the roley ocean.
Potion approaching, shield your eyes,
Potion approaching, visualize,
Holding a token, swollen in size,
Potion approaching, shield your eyes.
But if we’re gonna escape though, we’d really ought to think it through.
Would you like me to build you a go kart?
The Fire and The Thud
You showed me my tomorrow,
Beside a box of matches
Welcome threatenin' stir
My hopes have been stolen
My just ring true depends who you..prefer
If it's true you're gonna run away,
Tell me where,
Ill meet you there
Am i snapping the excitement,
If i pack away the laughter,
And tell you how it feels.
And does burden come to meet ya
If i've questions of the feature
That rolls on your dream reel
The day after you stole my heart,
Everything i touched told me,
It would be better shared with you
And you're hiding in my soup
And the book reveals your face,
And as you splashin in my eyelids
The concentration continually breaks
I did request the mark you cast
Didn't heal as fast
I Hear your voice in silences
Will the teasing of the fire
Be followed by the thud?
And the jossling crowd
Your not allowed
To tell the truth
An the photobooths, a liar
And the sharpend explanations
But theres no screamin' reason to enquire
I'd like to poke them in their prying eyes
With things they'd never see
If it smacked them in their temples
Cornerstone
I thought I saw you in the battleship
but it was only a look-a-like
She was nothing but a vision trick
under the warning light
She was close, close enough to be your ghost
But my chances turned to toast when i asked her if, i could call her your name
I thought I saw you in the rusty hook
huddled up in a wicker chair
I wondered over for a closer look
and kissed whoever was sitting there
She was close and she held me very tightly
So that I awfully politely please, can I call you her name
And I elongated my lift home
yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
and kept my shortcuts to myself
I thought I saw you in the parrots beak
messing with the smoke alarm
it was too loud for me to hear her speak
and she had a broken arm
It was close, so close that the walls were wet,
and she wrote it out in letraset,
No, you can't call me her name.
Tell me wheres your hiding place
I'm worried I'll forget your face
and i've asked everyone
I'm beginning to think I imagined you all along
I elongated my lift home
Yeah I let him go the long way round
I smelt your scent on the seatbelt
and kept my shortcuts to myself
I saw your sister in a cornerstone
on the phone to the middle man
When I saw that she was on her own
I thought she might understand
She was close, well you couldn't get much closer
She said I'm really not supposed to but yes
You can call me anything you want
Dance Little Liar
I heard the truth was built to bend,
A mechanism to suspend the guilt,
Is what you will acquire,
And still you’ve got to dance little liar.
Just like those fibs to pop and fizz,
And you’ll be forced to take that awful quiz,
And you’re bound to trip,
And she’ll detect the fiction on your lips,
And dig the contradiction up.
And the clean commend the hurt,
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt,
The liar takes a lot less time.
I’m sure it’s clear and plain to me,
It’s not an alibi you need just yet,
Oh no it’s something for those beads of sweat,
Yes that, will get you back to normal.
And after you have dabbed the patch,
You will grieve and then proceed to scratch,
The varnish off that newly added calmness,
So as not to raise any alarms too soon.
And the clean commend the hurt?
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt beneath the dirt.
The liar takes a lot less time,
To decide on this saunter,
Have you got itchy bones?
And in all your time alone,
Can you hack your mind being riddled with the wrong memories?
And the clean commend the hurt.
And you can never get it spotless,
When there’s dirt between the dirt.
Pretty Visitors
Tricking through the morning,
The tramp with the trampoline under his arm,
Shifts past your whiskers,
So spark is a charm with the barking alarm,
Weighs coil 'til the corner is turned.
And the battle wields all, struggle to move round,
In your money mind,
Blatantly cape town,
And will interwine in co-operative time,
Shall we sit on the springs 'til the mung goes dry?
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the...
What came first the chicken or the dickhead?
Split sleep reeps through walls and ill fitting thoughts,
A twilight force, she doesn't wanna walk,
Your legs start running and your head gets caught,
Cannot be nineteen, it's perfectly placed for the reasonably frightening,
Pulled from the after date, you'll have to slip away,
An I'm happy to say,
Behold as the crook in a hammock plays...
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall...
Behold as the crook in the hammock plays,
Crawling with the base of the scales,
And fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
Gagged, bound and craft in a tale,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp,
Crawling with the base of the scales,
And fucking fiddles with the feet on a balancing act,
You were gagged, bound and craft in a tail,
Trailing wrapped in a gasp.
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall,
All the pretty visitors came and waved their arms and cast the shadow of a snake pit on the wall.
The Jeweller's Hands
Fiendish wonder in a carnivals wake,
Dull caresses once again irritate
Tread softly stranger,
Move over toward the danger that you seek
You think excitement has receded,
Then the mirror distracts
The logic of the trans... reaches and grasps
Handsome and faceless
And weightless your imagination runs
And now it’s no one’s fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards,
You thought you’d never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed,
And you’re a sinking stone
Cos you know what it’s like to hold the jeweller’s hands,
That procession of pioneers, all drown
In the moonlight they’re more thrilling,
Those things that he knows
As he leads you through the grinning, buddled, blowers in the snow,
Watching his exit is like falling off the ferry in the night
Inevitable’s gather to push you around,
Any old voice makes a ... punishing sound
He became laughter’s assassin,
Shortly after he showed you what it was
And now it’s no one’s fault but yours
At the foot of the house of cards,
You thought you’d never get obsessed
You thought the wolves would be impressed,
And you’re a sinking stone
Cos you know what it’s like to hold the jeweller’s hands,
That procession of pioneers, all drown
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
I’m listening ready to learn
There’s no one here to police me,
I’m sinking in till you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
I’m listening ready to learn
There’s no one here to police me,
I’m sinking in till you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
I’m listening ready to learn
There’s no one here to police me,
I’m sinking in till you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained
Red Right Hand
Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the humming wires
in the border fires, for you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a "red right hand"
He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all those dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
and there wont be a single thing
that you can do
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name through
this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand
I Haven't Got My Strange
When I got back from fixing my hair,
You were directing the traffic,
Letting your story slip on the snow,
As if the transmission was automatic,
They sog you up, you're right I shouldn't have been there,
It was fortunate timing,
I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat and my love dropped into the lining.
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
You can't sleep 'til you've sat on the steps,
To weep 'til you feel like you've wept, yeah.
(Hadn't you better get? Forget your strange?)
(Have you got your strange?) No, not on me.
I haven't got my strange.
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
I haven't got my strange.
I'd better fetch my strange.
I haven't got my strange.
I haven't got my strange.

My Propeller
If you can summon the strength, tow me
I can't hold down the urgency
You've got to make your decent slowly
And oil up those sticky keys
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller
It's a necessary evil
No cause for emergency
Borrow the beak of a bald eagle
Oh, momentary synergy
Coax me out my, my love
Sink into tomorrow
Coax me out, my love
And have a spin of my propeller
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller won't spin and I can't get it started on my own
When are you arriving?
My propeller
Crying Lightning
Outside the cafe by the cracker factory
You were practicing a magic trick
And my thoughts got rude, as you talked and chewed
On the last of your pick and mix
Said your mistaken if your thinking that I haven't been caught cold before
As you bit into your strawberry lace
And then a flip in your attention in the form of a gobstopper
Is all you have left and it was going to waste
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I love that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the ice-cream man on rainy afternoons
The next time that I caught my own reflection
It was on it's way to meet you
Thinking of excuses to postpone
You never look like yourself from the side
But your profile did not hide
The fact you knew I was approaching your throne
With folded arms you occupy the bench like toothache
Saw them, puff your chest out like you never lost a war
And though I try so not to suffer the indignity of a reaction
There was no cracks to grasp or gaps to claw
And your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
And how you like to aggravate the icky man on rainy afternoons
Uninviting
But not half as impossible as everyone assumes
You are crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange
And twisted and deranged
And I hate that little game you had called
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Crying lightning
Your past-times, consisted of the strange

And I hate that little game you had called
Crying
Dangerous Animals
Pinned down by the dark
Been fighting with my sheets
Nearly crying in my sleep
Yes, I'm battering that welt-up gripe
The most frustrating type
You should have racing stripes
The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpen the heel of your boot
And you press it in my chest
and you make me weeze
Into my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-L
makes my head pirouette
More than
I will be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The night it figits through
The photo soon revert to you
I'm about as bashful as a tribal dance
the first and final chance
and course the audience

Let’s get it ingrained
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
I’m listening ready to learn
There’s no one here to police me,
I’m sinking in till you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
I’m listening ready to learn
There’s no one here to police me,
I’m sinking in till you return
If you’ve a lesson to teach me,
Don’t deviate don’t be afraid
Without the last corner piece I can’t calibrate,
Let’s get it ingrained
Red Right Hand
Take a little walk to the edge of town
Go across the tracks
Where the viaduct looms, like a bird of doom
As it shifts and cracks
Where secrets lie in the humming wires
in the border fires, for you know
you're never coming back
Past the square, past the bridge,
past the mills, past the stacks
On a gathering storm comes a tall handsome man
In a dusty black coat with a "red right hand"
He'll wrap you in his arms,
tell you that you've been a good boy
He'll rekindle all those dreams
it took you a lifetime to destroy
He'll reach deep into the hole,
heal your shrinking soul
and there wont be a single thing
that you can do
Hey buddy, you know you're
never ever coming back
He's a god, he's a man,
he's a ghost, he's a guru
They're whispering his name through
this disappearing land
But hidden in his coat is a red right hand
You ain't got no money?
He'll get you some
You ain't got no car? He'll get you one
You ain't got no self-respect,
you feel like an insect
Well don't you worry buddy,
cause here he comes
Through the ghettos and the barrio
and the bowery and the slum
A shadow is cast wherever he stands
Stacks of green paper in his red right hand
You'll see him in your nightmares,
you'll see him in your dreams
He'll appear out of nowhere but he ain't what he seems
You'll see him in your head, on the TV screen
And hey buddy, I'm warning
you to turn it off
He's a ghost, he's a god,
he's a man, he's a guru
You're one microscopic cog
in his catastrophic plan
Designed and directed by his red right hand
I Haven't Got My Strange
When I got back from fixing my hair,
You were directing the traffic,
Letting your story slip on the snow,
As if the transmission was automatic,
They sog you up, you're right I shouldn't have been there,
It was fortunate timing,
I had a hole in the pocket of my favourite coat and my love dropped into the lining.
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
I haven't got my strange
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
You can't sleep 'til you've sat on the steps,
To weep 'til you feel like you've wept, yeah.
(Hadn't you better get? Forget your strange?)
(Have you got your strange?) No, not on me.
I haven't got my strange.
(Have you got your strange?) Not on me.
I haven't got my strange.
I'd better fetch my strange.
I haven't got my strange.
I haven't got my strange.
*En cuanto encuentre la letra de Sketchead la postearé...por mientras conformense con la canción

ARCTIC POST: WHY ARCTIC MONKEYS ARE MY FAVOURITE BAND?
Hace algunos días encontré una nota muy interesante, que además me recordó la historia de Chrlie and The Chocolate Factory.
Arctic Monkeys esconderñan 40 copias autografiadas del sencillo Crying Lightning en las tiendas donde estará disponible.
Además han ocultado entradas para el festival de Reading & Leeds de este año en 2 copias del sencillo, los "boletos dorados" seràn colocados al azar en las ediciones de 7''.
El 7'' del sencillo será vendido exclusivamente a través de las tiendas de caridad de Oxfam en el Reino Unido.
La versión de 10'' estará disponible en tiendas convencionales de música.
Además de esto, 15 copias autografiadas serán enviadas al azar a afortunados compradores que adquieran su copia de Crying Lightning a través de Oxfam.org.uk/shop
Para todos los que decían que la banda había cambiado...

CRYING LIGHTNING
Hoy se estrenó Crying Lightning, primer sencillo de Humbug.
En el show de Zane Lowe por medio de la BBC Radio 1, más una entrevista a Alex Turner, entre las notas nuevas el video del sencillo fue grabado ayer.
La canción fue programada 2 veces, yo no recuerdo que Brianstorm sonará dos veces en ese mismo show...
Que mas les diré, la consegui antes de que estuviera en iTunes. Mi opinión respecto a esto es que está bien que la descargue, eventualmente compraré el album y el sencillo.

ARCTIC'S POST: THE ART OF HUMBUG
Finalmente se reveló el arte del tan esperado tercer album de Arctic Monkeys (bueno, la verdad no sé si sea tan esperado). No es tan espectacular como el arte de Favourite Worst Nightmare, ya que en esa ocasión fue diseñada por la agencia de diseño Juno; pero no deja de ser buena.
Ahora de todo el merchandising y del arte se encargan Arctic Monkeys, esto fue declarado por Matt en una entrevista a NME y según el artículo no es que sea menos trabajo de otras personas, es solo más trabajo de ellos. Una banda indie, tal y como fue en Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not, en dónde se encuentra en portada Chris McClure (Hermano de John McClure de Reverend and The Makers).
Los cambios son buenos, y este caso no es la excepción, enhorabuena por los monos.
Espero como muchos lectores de este blog, que vengan a México pronto.

ARCTIC'S POST: DANGEROUS ANIMALS LYRICS
Pinned down by the dark
Pinned down by the dark
Been fighting with my sheets
I'm nearly cryin in my sleep
Yes, i'm battling that well taught gripe
The most frustrating type
You should have racing stripes
The way you keep me in pursuit
Sharpened the heel of your boot
And you press it in my chest and you make me wheeze
Then to my knees you do promote me
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-Ls
Makes my head pirouhette
More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
The light it fidgets through
The thoughts will soon revert to you
About as bashful as a tribal dance
The first and final chance
Of course the audience
Are frighteners and fiends
Divided up into two teams
When the acrobat fell off the beam
She broke everyones hearts
I'm pinned down by the dark
A-N-I-M-A-Ls
Makes my head pirouhette
More than I would be willing to confess
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
D-A-N-G-E-R-O-U-S
Most ... (can't get this one sorry)
Been long enough now so let's
mek a mess lioness
Pinned down by the dark
Pinned down by the dark

A-N-I-M-A-Ls

ARCTIC'S POST: SHALL BE ENTITLED "HUMBUG"
Hoy se anunció el nombre del album que saldrá el 24 de Agosto, se llamará Humbug, que de acuerdo a Wikipedia es un viejo término que significa engaño o en broma; fue descrito por primera vez en 1751 como una expresión de estudiantes y su etimología es desconocida. Aunque en la actualidad el significado se acerca a "sin sentido" o "tonterías", aunque como pronombre "humbug" se refiere a un fraude o a un impostor, insinuando un elemento de publicidad injustificada o espectaculo. El término también es usado para ciertos tipos de dulces.
Como ven es una palabra que tiene muchops significados, por lo que habrá que esperar a que Arctic Monkeys ofrezcan entrevistas y ellos mismo expliquen el porque de un título tan ambiguo.

Hola gente, como lo había dicho antes,hoy se confirmo por fin la fecha de salida del nuevo album, junto con el tracklist que contendrá.

El tracklist es el siguiente:
01. My Propeller
02. Crying Lightning
03. Dangerous Animals
04. Secret Door
05. Potion Approaching
06. Fire & The Thud
07. Cornerstone
08. Dance Little Liar
09. Pretty Visitors
10. The Jeweller's Hands
Estará disponible en cd, vinil y como es costumbre en descarga digital.
Y una nueva foto de la banda.
