Arctic Monkeys: Good Musicians Shit Comedians

Here at Frapp magazine we've been seeing the morning through by listening to Jo Whiley on Radio One. Today's guests were ultra hip northern band via East London the Arctic Monkey's. Now don't get us wrong we will admit that Alex knows how to pen a good tune every now and again and even the new song has us tapping our feet's against the floor. The problem we have is when the monkey's revert back to that Northern Cynical Sarcastic stereotype. Now if you have never been outside of the home counties then I'm sure this seems really cool and funny. This would explain Alexa Chung, but than again this is a woman who spends her time complaining about how she hated growing up with the horsey set, hated being a model, and now hates being in New York. She also said in a recent interview that she loves East London because everyone dresses the same, its such a shame Stalin's Soviet Union and Mao's China no longer exist Alexa would off loved it.

But here at Frapp Mag we know the true North, we even been to Rochdale! So the whole old school northern act doesn't impressive us, after all if it did we would just hang out at the Stockpot Pool Rooms. So making sarcey comments in that exaggerated northern accent ( it has to be or even Alexa would off battered Alex to death by now) about going to a Britney Spears Concert or how Blackpool is there favourite location etc..........doesn't impress us. Worst is when they try and be ironic and postmodern in humour displayed twice at the Brit awards once accepting an award dress as Characters from the wizard of Oz and then as shown above turning up as Stereotypical upper class country gents.....Get it because there meant to be gritty northerners........have to give them a clap for trying but unfortunately they are 20 years to late, it been done many time before.

So the lesson is where you might excel in one aspect of life it doesn't apply to many others.
