so three hundred and sixty thousand million of you bought the arctic monkeys album. this scares me, because i refuse to buy an album that that many people bought cos either (a) i'll like it and feel like a clone or (b) i won't like it and have wasted a tenner.

so anyone wanna give me a copy to satisfy my intrigue?

on a related topic: we are scientists. i'd believe you if you told me Safety Fun and Learning was the new weezer album. its pleasant, but not exactly groundbreaking stuff.

Tilly and the Wall are my favourite new (to me) band of the week. anyone know anything about them?

Oooh, I like Tilly and the Wall. Last I heard they were releasing their albums for free on the internet and Wild Like Children is great. Is there another?

yeah i found Wild Like Children online not heard anything else though.

sorry- i didn't really mean that they sound like the rapture. Rapture are very disco with a bit of rock. i think i was just trying to say that the arctic monkeys stuff has a really dancy element as a result of the bass lines and riffs.

eh?

samsonite>good choice on babies. i can't choose a favourite track- but it would definitely be one off that album.

i now also love the go! team- that album is fab too.

something needs to be done about the youth. this is not even funny.

not quite sure what you mean here. i wasn't saying that i prefer killers to monkeys, more that the mash-up was pretty cool and well done. the monkeys aren't bad, but i just dont understand the huge hype they've had. top 5 brit album? no chance. and 360 million trillion or whatever sales, ridiculous. they'll be forgotten in 10 years.

whats the problem with people and large numbers. i'm pretty sure the magnitude you are all searching for is just "hundred thousand"?

it certainly is. in the region of 363,000

for some reason i have the number 363,614 in my head. but not sure if that is accurate.

but certainly 363,000 (in one week)

i like bands who wont be around in a couple of years. they make me feel fuzzy.

im bored of bands that mean something. throwaway pop songs are where its at.

Artic Monkeys came into one of our newspapers over here as 'an unstoppable force that deserves the hype.'

When are you going to see them?
