Valentines Day came a lil soon for one of the ARCTIC MONKEYS . Earlier today the ALEX TURNER was jpeged being greeted by his new girlf who's obvs been monogamous in the he-singer's absence. Remember when you could actually greet people as they got off the plane ? Much more romantic then having to do your do at the baggage claim. That is all.

So after bingeing on the Arctic Monkey 's for the past few months, now even more so after getting tickets to see them on tour with The Black Keys in May, I had to find an excuse to write about them. For those of you who are not aware, they released their newest album Suck It And See last summer and recently performed on the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge to promote that album and the aforementioned tour. During the Live Lounge session they covered Katy B 's "Katy On A Mission" from her 2011 debut album [...]

Alex Turner & Co. hit UK late night TV.

Watch the new clip above for "You And I" a B-side to single ' Black Treacle ' featuring Richard Hawley & The Death Ramps.
Over four records with Arctic Monkeys, and spin-off ventures like The Last Of The Shadow Puppets and the Submarine OST (" Pile Driver Waltz " especially), Alex Turner's established himself as a legitimate student of songwriting. He's also established himself as a fan, and friend, of legitimate songwriting talent Richard Hawley, an influence that's colored some of Turner's latter-day output. They chill in real life, too: Here they are onstage together back in '09 . And below, here they are together on this new Suck It And See b-side "You And I," which [...]
Over the years we've seen and heard Arctic Monkeys perform an array of covers and I have no doubt that this month is going to see a couple more hit the internet given Arctic Monkeys' Schedule. First of 2012 comes via WAWSTSF with Alex dropping into the studio of Triple J to cover Patsy Cline's "Strange". Alex's simplistic vocal and guitar work ever so well with one another and the performance itself is viewable at the top. I give it less than 10 days until we have another weird but no doubt wonderful cover from the [...]

O líder do Arctic Monkeys , Alex Turner , visitou o quadro "Like a Version" da emissora de rádio Australiana Triple J e apresentou uma versão voz e violão de Strange , do primeiro disco da lendária intérprete norte-americana Patsy Cline . Confira a performance abaixo:
The Arctic Monkeys' frontman stops by Triple J Radio.

Parece que el paso de Arctic Monkeys por Australia está resultando más productivo que lo pensado, al menos en lo inmediato, porque luego de la sorpresiva aparición de Miles Kane en un show en Melbourne, ahora su líder se ha hecho un tiempo para visitar la radio Triple J y grabar allí un par de canciones para el segmento Like A Version . En una sesión acústica como las que suelen darse en Like A Version , [...]
Für Triple J's Like A Version Cover Sessions hat Arctic Monkey's Frontmann Alex Turner den Patsy Cline Hit 'Strange' gecovert und eine brilliante Neuinterpretation hingelegt. Wer die Monkeys auf Ihrer Humbug Tour live erlebt hat, erinnert sich vielleicht, dass Teile von 'Strange' in den Arctic Monkey Song 'Fluorescent Adolescent' eingebaut wurde.

The Arctic Monkeys are down under touring and made an appearance on ABC Radio station Triple J for an interview while performing "Suck It and See" as well as a cover of "Strange" by Patsy Cline for JJJ radio's infamous 'Like A Version' segment.

Australian radio station Triple J's Like A Version covers session has delivered gold in the past, like Regina Spektor's cover of Radiohead's "No Surprises" or The Kills' reworking of "One Silver Dollar" . Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner was the latest rock star to hit the studio, where he performed a version of Patsy Cline's "Strange" (the track also makes an appearance during Monkeys performances of "Fluorescent Adolescent"). The cover is decidedly simple and lonesome-sounding with Turner providing some slightly rockabilly-esque vocals to the strum of an acoustic guitar. The heartache of the [...]

It's always pretty funny when Arctic Monkeys appear on US shows; their wit and British humor tend to confuse the presenters, not to mention their gritty Sheffield accents. Lead singer Alex Turner appeared on Triple J recently, and performed a cover of Patsy Cline's 1961 classic Strange , with Turner's unique croon adding a wonderfully vibrant element to the track. Also, check out the interview after the acoustic track, in which Turner seems rather surprised to learn that he'll be playing with Radiohead at Coachella , [...]

Photo by Philip Cosores We don't know what is better: the wonderful solo cover that the Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner offers of the Patsy Cline song "Strange" or the banter that takes place afterwards with the Triple J radio staff. Turner is surprised to discover that he will be playing with Radiohead at Coachella, then is even more surprised to find out that Dre and Snoop are playing together. Turner than strikes comedy gold when he warns "look out for Detox ." Download the tune below. [...]

¿Una nueva temporada de Prison Break? No, es el nuevo video de Arctic Monkeys, que además de las aventuras "fuera de la ley" del baterista Matt Helders en alguna parte de California, presenta a Alex Turner con peinado de los 50s, algunas modelos gringas, novias abandonadas, "cholos" y un homenaje a "El Gran Escape". O sea, parece que se esmeraron en que fuera lo menos británico posible. Esto es "Black Treacle" y al menos la canción se salva.

Miles Kane confirmou que se reunirá novamente com Alex Turner para gravar um segundo disco do Last Shadow Puppets . Em entrevista para o site Noise11.com , o músico afirma que "Haverá um novo disco no momento certo. Nós dois saberemos juntos quando estiver certo. Estamos aproveitando nossas próprias coisas, mas ainda estamos trabalhando juntos e quando chegar a hora vamos fazer isso de novo". Apesar do interesse da dupla, o sucessor de The Age of the Understatement não deve chegar tão logo. "Talvez no fim desse ano, talvez [...]
Me encanta tener el placer de contaros esta noticia. Tan sólo un día después de disfrutar del metraje filtrado del concierto de Arctic Monkeys en Melbourne en el que nada más y nada menos hacía una aparición muy especial Miles Kane, el británico acaba de confirmar que lo nuevo de The Last Shadow Puppets verá la luz este 2012 . Será a finales e incluso podría retrasarse más, pero lo importante de la noticia es que se confirma la grabación de un trabajo del que parecía que Kane y su buen amigo Alex Turner se [...]
