Alex Turner Showcases New Material in Shop

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner has previewed one of the newly recorded songs while out shopping in Sheffield.

While in clothing store Sa-Kis in the singer's hometown, it is reported that Turner played the B-Side to forthcoming single "Brianstorm" when paying for his items.

When asked about how the album was going Turner said "It's done, we've just recorded the B side for the next single. Do you want to hear it?" which followed an obvious "Yes" and then a request to play it on the shop's soundsystem, to which Turner agreed.

Assistant Manager Sa-Kis Ian Theasby believes the track to be called 'Satisfaction' and said:

"Alex and Jamie have been coming in here for about a year, both really sound guys who like their clothes"

"The track? If that's the B side to the next single then god knows what the album's like because it was very, very, very good. Like 'Acquiesce' it could become one of those classic B-sides for the greatest hits in 10 years time."

"It's slower and funkier than their old stuff, but catchy as hell."

The track is apparently slightly mellower than the stuff on 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' and closer in funky ways to stuff from the 'Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys' EP, while also lyrically similar to fav favourite 'A Certain Romance' as one part of the song talks about a friend who you could never hate.

If that's anything to go by then we agree with Ian Theasby.

Arctic Monkeys 'Confirmed' to Headline Glastonbury

Arctic Monkeys have been confirmed alongside Bjork as headliners for the 2007 Glastonbury festival, according to co-organiser Emily Eavis:

She said:

"We're absolutely thrilled to be able to put Bjork and the Arctic Monkeys on because both are firm favourites in our household.

"The Arctic Monkeys have never done it so this will be their first year and Bjork has done the festival a few times now and is absolutely fantastic."

Arctic Monkeys drummer Matt Helders has already responded to comments made by Michael Eavis earlier in the week:

"Er, if Michael Eavis said it, well we must be (true) then," he observed. "I can't really confirm anything. Nothing gets announced until March, and though stuff leaks out they can always change it!"
