Chemical Brothers - Flashback
This tune doesn't get talked about enough, it's pure genius. A perfect example of where a Chems B-side is as good as their A-sides, but an album can only be so long (80 minutes, in fact)
This can be solved with a double album ;-)

Arctic Monkeys - A certain romance
I am so fucking in love with this band. Their lyrics are so awesome!
Well oh they might wear classic Reeboks
Or knackered Converse
Or tracky bottoms tucked in socks
But all of that's what the point is not
The point's that there isn?t no romance around there
And there's the truth that they can't see
They'd probably like to throw a punch at me
And if you could only see them, then you would agree
Agree that there isn?t no romance around there
it's a funny thing you know
We'll tell them if you like
We'll tell them all tonight
They'll never listen
Cause their minds are made up
And course it's all okay to carry on that way
Over there there's broken bones
There's only music, so that there's new ringtones
And it doesn?t take no Sherlock Holmes
To see it's a little different around here
Don't get me wrong though there's boys in bands
And kids who like to scrap with pool cues in their hands
And just cause he's had a couple of cans
He thinks it's alright to act like a dickhead
Well over there there's friends of mine
What can I say, I've known them for a long long time
And they might overstep the line
But you just cannot get angry in the same way

Totally agree, I feel I've discovered them quite late in comparison with the rest of the world, but the songwriter is a total lyrical genius. I can't think of a single band/solo artist whose songs contain such amazing lyrics whilst not being pretentious (sp) The only vague comparison is with the first & second Stereophonics albums, and that was nearly 10 years ago!!
n.p. Aquasky - Red Out (JDS mix)
Nu-skool/acid breaks
Check this out mX (and other breaks lovers)!!

did anyone see the arctic monkeys reading performance on bbc3??
i really dig their tunes anyway, but they sounded proper tight, amazing for their age really (without being patronising) and really really rocking.
much better than headliners muse (or should i say rush :P) for sure!

A lot of people seem to dig this band.
For me the fact that their so young and their lyrics are so honest , true and so literaly ( Titles as " You Probably Couldn't See For The Lights But You Were Staring Straight At Me ) , i think everybody can find some recognition in their lyrics. Live they are really fucking good , they have this energy about them altough they dont jump around like monkeys.
But for me , the thing i love most about them are how true their lyrics are :
-Still Take You Home-
"It?s ever so funny, I don?t think you?re special I don?t think you?re cool
You?re just probably alreyt, but under these lights you look beautiful
But I?m struggling, I can?t see through your fake tan
And you know it for a fact that everybody?s eating out of your hands"
-Riot Van-
"Have you been drinking son, you don?t look old enough to me?
?I?m sorry officer is there a certain age you?re supposed to be?? nobody told me?
- Red Light Indicates Doors Are Secured-
"Ask if we can have six in, if not we'll have to have 2
You're coming up our end aren't you? So I'll get one with you
Oh won't he let us have six in? especially not with the food
He coulda just told us no though, he dint have to be rude
See her in the green dress? She talked to me at the bar
How come its already two pound fifty? We've only gone about a yard
Dint ya see she were gorgeous, she was beyond belief
But this lad at the side drinking a Smirnoff ice came and paid for her tropical Reef"
- From the Ritz To The Rubble -
Last night these two bouncers
And one of em's alright
The other one's the scary one
His way or no way, totalitarian
He's got no time for you
Looking or breathing
How he dosen?t want you to
So step out the queue
He makes examples of you
And there's nowt you can say
Behind they go through to the bit where you pay
And you realize then that it's finally the time
To walk back past ten thousand eyes in the line
And you can swap jumpers and make another move
Instilled in your brain you've got something to prove
To all the smirking faces and the boys in black
Why can't they be pleasant?
Why can't they have a laugh?
He's got his hand in your chest
He wants to give you a duff
Well secretly I think they want it all to kick off
They want, arms flying everywhere and
Bottles as well it's just
Something to talk about
A story to tell you
Okay sorry i just had to share those awesome lyrics with everybody! haha
