THE ARCTIC MONKEYS - LOVE MACHINE LIVE

"getting on with the mad sound......."

This is great to see. Its nice to plug into music on your own terms. I haven't listened to my local stations in MONTHS... and I know if I do I can expect to hear the same songs they've been hauling around for the past twenty years......

The Detroit market seems to push... the band LIVE.. I know, its stupid, but I am in Detroit. This is serious. Let me continue.... They also like to push STONE TEMPLE PILOTS for some very weird reason and a lot of Eddie Veddar rip offs. 89.X for the most part does a terrible job and yes I know they are out of Canada but they have a tremendous influence over... what used to be a great metropolis? (lol) Detroit Michigan.

SO when I find a band like the Arctic Monkeys doing a great new sound of course I am going to latch onto it WITH A SERIOUS FEVER. The news is that this song is a remake of Girls Alouds version. Its still good to listen to and a bit unexpected. The pacing of this video is a bit frenetic but its matching the rythym of the song. Yes its hard on the eyes but carrying on quite well by inventing another visual dialect for the eyes to contend with.

Remember that in the early days everyone complained about the "rapid fire machine gun editing of MTV". This takes that energy and offers up a new version of that. The circling camera movements and the choppy editing really sellls this song. AND ITS GREAT.
