At moments, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not defies you not to join in the general excitement, but it’s worth sounding a note of caution. We have been here before, a decade ago: critics and public united behind some cocky, working-class northern lads who seemed to tower effortlessly over their competition. The spectre of Oasis lurks around Arctic Monkeys, proof that even the most promising beginnings can turn into a dreary, reactionary bore. For now, however, they look and sound unstoppable.

Arctic Monkeys // Why’d you only call me when you’re high (2013)
all my favorite blogs are dead. that is just sad. is all am fans just too old now to keep up with a blog? more sadness.
Esquire: What makes a good frontman?
Turner: Certainly, in this day and age, a sense of humour. Because it’s pretty ridiculous. In 1969, there probably weren’t many laughs in rock’n’roll. But then they were probably funny people. They had a sense of humour, they just didn’t use it. Not to name-drop, but we bumped into Robert Plant last night and he’s hilarious. Just funny, straight away. [These days] I think if you start taking it too seriously, which I’m, like, sometimes definitely in danger of doing… then it gets ugly. (x)
