| Arctic Monkeys Top NME Album of The Year List | ||
 The record-breaking fastest-selling debut Arctic Monkeys album 'Whatever Poeple Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' may have been slightly overlooked by much of the music press in the later stages of the year, especially when "Top Albums Of The Year' lists start appearing, but the one magazine you probably expect it from, do the unexpected...NME named the WPSIATWIN the number 1 album of the year. Of course, everybody was expecting NME to go the full circle andtry to turn the nation against the Arctic Monkeys (which they will never succeed to do should they every try anyway) but they stayed loyal to the band and the album, which earlier in the year was given 5th 'Best Debut Album Ever' so the NME couldn't really NOT put them there, could they? Don't worry though, come early next year the worst review ever will be waiting to be published when the second album is released. The full list of NME's Top 50 Albums is as follows: 50. The Kooks - Inside In Inside Out 49. Absentee - Schmotime 48. Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. - The Chronicles of a Bohemian Teenager 47. Wolfmother - Wolfmother 46. Semifinalists - Semifinalists 45.

| Alex Reveals Favourite Arctic Monkeys Track | ||
 Alex Turner had revealed his favourite track on the Arctic Monkeys debut album 'Whatever people Say I Am, That's What I'm Not'.Speaking to NME for this week's Top 50 albums and tracks issue, Turner told of his favourite tracks. He said: "I think 'The View From The Afternoon''s probably my favourite. That was one of the last ones we wrote as well; that one just because it's interesting and groovy and that. And probably 'A Certain Romance'." Also talking through the making of the album, Alex again revealed how the title of the album came about: "We didn't want to call it 'Arctic Monkeys' because we thought it was a bit of a cop out. Then I saw that 'Saturday Night And Sunday Morning' film. There's a bit where he says that line and the conviction with which he said it, it just rang a bell." |

But now she is going out with that bloke from Desperate Housewives, so he's no chance." But Cookie insists he will not let this affect his wish, adding: "Give me 12 months in the gym and I'll have her yet." Good one, lads. |

| Recently, In Arctic Monkeys... | ||
 ..."Recently" because I have been really lazy again and have failed to keep you all updated with Arctic Monkeys goings-on, mainly because there aren't many but still, it's a responsibility we have.I would like to start by first of all saying shut the fuck up to Preston from "Celebrity" Big Brother who last week managed to let slip and ungodly amount of shit escape from his mouth. Preston, who apparently fronts boy band 'The Ordinary Boys' was rambling on about MySpace, claiming the website was "dead", before digging out his well-researched facts on it's relevance to the success of Arctic Monkeys: "MySpace was important with one band, Arctic Monkeys, now it's on the check list with record labels. We've got to do some instores, sign all these posters, give away a signed guitar and set up a MySpace account. So MySpace is already dead. It's over." Absolute drivvle.  As for some news with truth in it, Arctic Monkeys have yet again been nominated for some awards. This time it's the 2007 Meteor Ireland Music Awards - Ireland’s equivalent to the Brits - and Arctic Monkeys are up for 3 awards; Best Live Performance (Oxegen), Best International Album, and Best International Band.The awards will be held at the Point Theatre on Thursday 1 February and televised on RTE Two at 9pm on Sunday 4 February. Finally, and potentially most importantly, reports today suggest that Alex Turner has formed a new side project who are set to make a live debut next month.This new band, called 'The Rascals', will perform live for the very first time Liverpool's Korova Bar on December 1. Although ticket details have not been announced, it's understood that the doors will open at 8pm. This is all we know at the moment but once more infromation has been revealed we wont hesitate to let you all know. If, of course, there's any truth in the matter. |
