Ik kan de link niet openen, maar waarschijnlijk dat iemand een hartig woordje met Jamie heeft gesproken na 2011.

En leuke, verrassende setlist! Wel jammer dat het nagenoeg dezelfde nummers zijn als een tijd terug. Snap niet dat ze niet meer rouleren met oude nummers. De ene avond Ritz, de andere avond Dancing Shoes e.d. lijkt me leuker. Zal wel een geluidstechnische reden achter zitten o.i.d.

[..] Dan als uitsmijter ook nog wat muzikaal interessant nieuws, nu het hoge woord over de volgende stap er eindelijk wel uit mag. (Eerlijk gezegd durfde ik het niet eens meer te posten nadat er twee keer op rij tóch voor een andere single werd gekozen, eerst 'One For The Road' als verrassing, daarna 'Arabella' net zo uit het niets). 'Snap Out Of It' is de vijfde en laatste - de oorspronkelijke derde en vierde single 'Knee Socks' zal dus een album-track blijven - single van 'AM', waarschijnlijke release-datum midden-juni. Videoclip? Ja. B-kant? De tijd zal het leren...

Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner cuts through his own ‘baffling rhetoric’ to hail victory for real music

AT this year’s Brit Awards Arctic Monkeys frontman Alex Turner picked up the gong for best album and threw his microphone on the floor. Prior to that, his speech was a call to arms that stated, “Rock and roll, it just won’t go away. It will never die, and there’s nothing you can do about it.” Some felt Turner, who used to be criticised for being monosyllabic, was being pretentious or antagonistic. He clarifies his analogy of rock “as a superhero swamp monster that intermittently comes in and out of the mainstream” was designed to be amusing.

Yet in hindsight, he realises their victory was important. “It’s not like we sat around dreaming about winning trophies for doing this. The trophy cabinet in this game is not directly proportional to talent or success. It’s not like the Grand Prix, where that is the case. “So getting those things is like winning a trophy for a race you didn’t know you were running. There is an argument us winning the biggest award of that night at the Brits is somehow a victory for rock and roll, guitar music, real music, whatever you want to call it, simply because we didn’t come through one of those reality TV shows or stage school. “We weren’t packaged and marketed and crafted into someone’s idea of a band. We just finished school, picked up guitars and set off. Maybe my behaviour at that event was me trying to present that option or that idea, but using some baffling rhetoric. We didn’t want to do a sob story, ‘We started in a garage ...’”

The band were lured back to the Brits when the show agreed to their request to play with two flaming letters — A and M. They’ve used a less pyrotechnic version on their own tour. “People say, ‘If you don’t like these award ceremonies why do you bother going?’ Good point. There’s a boring answer, which I get no joy in expressing. There is an obligation to appear at those things somehow. But the pro carrot was dangled and we were hypnotised.”

The global touring for AM has seen the band shoehorn in as many as 10 of the album’s 12 tracks in a show. “I think we get away with it,” Turner says. “We’ve tried to do that in the past and Lord knows we haven’t. But you’ve got to try and do that, even with records that didn’t go down as well as this one. They’ve ultimately led to this place we’re at now. If you’re going to try and stick around you’ve got to push on creatively.”

Several older songs have now been put out to pasture. “We put Fake Tales Of San Francisco back in for Glastonbury,” Turner says. “We were actually telling people, ‘Oh, we’re going to play that old gem Fake Tales tonight, you might want to buckle up for that one’, and it got a lukewarm reaction really. “There was a moment in a soundcheck the other day where we started playing From the Ritz To the Rubble from the first album. “But it’s a bit of a stretch, I’ve got to get back into character. Some of those old songs have always been on the outskirts of the potential setlist. It’s easy for them to come back into town, but other ones have moved to the Bahamas. Ritz To the Rubble is in the South of France now.”

Arctic Monkeys have come in from the cold

The relaxed pose, the sardonic yet friendly greeting, the grin – how things have changed for the Arctic Monkeys as they contemplate a sold-out Australian tour which opened in Sydney on Tuesday night. The first time the Sheffield quartet saw Australia in 2006 they were four teenagers who were suddenly the hottest thing around, and their shell-shocked faces told its own story before they played their first show in Perth.

Two singles had gone to number one in Britain and their album, which sold more in its first week than any debut album in British history, also inevitably, landed at number one both at home and in Australia. Everyone wanted a piece of them and the band very clearly circled the wagons, wary and weary of it all. Eight years and four albums later, Alex Turner, the sharply turned out singer, songwriter and most sardonic, and Matt Hedders, the everyman drummer and most relaxed, struggle either to remember those mad times or to come up with something they miss. "If there is [something I miss] it’s been replaced by plenty of other distractions,” Hedders said, looking at Turner who nodded sagely, adding with a sly grin and a slow delivery, “We’ve never been ones for reflecting unnecessarily.”

The amusing and appealing slyness in Turner gives the songwriter an air of international man about town, as comfortable with humour and sex as hard rock and R&B, something which you hear through their newest songs. Especially sex. While the band he formed at school with Hedders, fellow guitarist Jamie Cook and original bassist Andy Nicholson (replaced almost straight after that first album by another mate, Nick O’Malley) may have come out of dour Sheffield, they don’t do grim but they can do slinky. It’s almost – almost - like they discovered sex about three years ago. “Is that how it seems,” an amused Turner asked. “It feels as if there was a lot of that at the beginning.”

What wasn’t there at the beginning though was the kind of showmanship we now get from a band who last year headlined the Glastonbury festival for the second time and looked at home on a stage which recently also hosted the Rolling Stones and Bruce Springsteen. Where once they talked little, kept heads down and just played, careful not to look like they thought themselves special, now Turner in particular is cock-o’-the-walk. “To some extent the moment you start playing in bigger rooms or headlining festivals it is almost a demand for you to kick off with something else to show,” Turner said. “For a while we did try to keep it the same way we had it in a club but it didn't work - the first time we played Reading [festival] we had like a few lamps.” That said, we’re not talking Rolling Stones extravaganzas, yet. "I don’t think you have to go the whole way to the ego ramp out the front, looking like a finale for an hour,” Turner said. “It can be tastefully done. Hopefully.”
