This Week, I Have Mostly Been...

-Listening to...The Arctic Monkeys
The sound of something utterly fresh- air punching, nose bleeding, rib crushingly good. Like the libertines having an eplectic fit during an argument with the streets about youth culture. Not afraid to sing with their dodgy sheffield accents, songs like "From Ritz to Rubble" charting the eternal struggle to get past power mad bouncers and "I Bet That You Look Good On The Dancefloor" the ever mysterious eye contact exchanges that go on in sweaty nightclubs.
Soundbite: "He's got no time for you looking or breathing/and he dont want you to/so step out the queue"



-Watching....Six Feet Under Series 4
The television equivalent of crossword puzzle, this show continues to impress me, each episode more resounding than most films I've seen recently. Dark, layoured and challenging, everything a series should be.
Soundbite: "Yes, I know stealing a foot is weird. But...living in a house where a foot is available to be stolen is weird." Claire
