    I like it, very Humbug-ish, no doubt the people who only love the first two albums won't get it. I'm looking forward to the 5th album as I feel they've never made a bad album and actually got better with each album.

    New track released today. Another step in the right direction for the Monkeys imo.

    I like it. Has a nice bass line. Hopefully all the album isn't as Josh Homme-y though, a good track.

    Has the feel of a James Bond theme. Just love that dark groove it has and the video is great.

    Yep, hope ye're all ready, lads. UK tour being announced after Glasto. I haven't got the word on any more Irish dates (other than EP, obviously) but I'm hoping they won't do the dog on us this time round, like last time.

    Just a live version but I really like it, studio version should be even better. New album looking good, very humbug-y which I love.



    Ooh La La La :D

    that's a great little tune...reminds me of a velvet underground song i think

    The Strypes have come a long way in a short time.

    To think in September they were still in TY!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 37,166 ✭✭✭✭NIMAN


    Thats a belting song. Very talented band.

    Someone needs to remind Alex Turner he's not from New York City he's from Rotherham (Sheffield) going by his accent at Glastonbury.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 7,048 ✭✭✭Sugarlumps


    Just watched their set on the BBC, Turner came across like a cheesy karaoke bingo caller.

    That's what he was going for, the kinda Billy Fury/Elvis showmanship approach. It seemed to be nearly like a character he donned for the gig. I thought it was quite entertaining and he'd good audience interaction.

    Great set too. I'm looking forward to their new album even more now.

    I'm only a few songs in. Is he taking the píss or what?

    Between the new look and talking like a knob..

    Ludicrous.

    Yeah he was playing a 50's style rocker playing up to the crowd who clearly loved it. The Guy changes things up and that set at Glastonbury was a cracker.

    To the guys saying he's acting like a knob should stop taking it all so serious.

    Oh just enjoy it, he's playing it up. Stop been a snob. Stop acting like Frontmen don't act like that.

    Act like what? Doing a Shakin' Stevens impression while talking like you're from a different part of the world. I don't know any other front man who does that. What's the point? I don't get it.

    I like the band too.

    I taught along with Primal Scream and Chic the set of the festival so far.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,871 ✭✭✭Dr.Winston O'Boogie


    I did think it was a great set, he annoys me now though. Strategically lighting up a smoke to appear cool, and having a go at people in the crowd for not waving their arms to Pretty Little Visitors. Won't take away from their music one bit though personally speaking. Love the new tune too.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 53 ✭✭Jamie Cal


    New single's gonna be 'Why'd You Only Cal Mel When You're High', video shot.

    Pfffft. They did little-to-nothing to get to support AM. They're be shoved down our throats it seems.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,216 ✭✭✭Looper007




    New Monkey's single. Got to love that Dre beat, the new album is stacking up very nicely.

    Not sure they've officially released that since it isn't on youtube anymore.
