I never became an Arctic Monkeys fan. I'm still not - but check out the video for their new song "Crying Lightning" off of the new album Humbug [Domino 8/25]. Nice CGI. and nice budget.

I don't know what tempted me to watch this the first time. Maybe it was the mix of two childhood favorites - minus the Rick Astley part. Astley is more of a joke than anything else. Anyway, check it

Kurt Cobain: 15 Years Gone

I can't believe it's really been that long. I was only 9 years old at the time but Nirvana had already changed my life. I remember listening to Nevermind on my walkman earlier that day on my way home from school and  I had just purchased Bleach with my saved up allowance [ah the good old days of doing easy chores for cash]. 

I was devastated. A band that I looked up to so much came to a sudden end.

I've always wondered what Nirvana would be like if Cobain were still here. RIP

Here are just a few of my fav Nirvana songs. What are yours?

Nirvana - Lithium
Nirvana - Drain You
Nirvana - About A Girl
