Bootlegged New Songs from Arctic Monkeys Rumored 09 Release
It's been a long time since we've heard anything new from the UK's smoking rockers Arctic Monkeys, so it should come as good news to fans that the band is recording a new album due out "later this year," according to their official website.The band recently premiered four new songs at the Big Day Out Festival in New Zealand two weeks ago.
“Pretty Visitors”
“Crying Lightning”
“Dangerous Animals”
“Go-Kart”

Arctic Monkey's Newest Video, Upcoming DVD of Manchester Show and Rare Booklet of the Band
Arctic Monkeys, riding high on the success of their latest album Favourite Worst Nightmare, and their new single "Teddy Picker" (video below), are resting up following a nearly non-stop touring schedule in 2007.Last month, the band launched a 11-day, seven-show sold-out concert tour of the U.K. and the Netherlands. The tour extended from Dec. 4 to Dec. 15 with the final show of 2007 performed at Manchester's Apollo Theatre.
For hard-core fans, you may be interested to know that Warped Films - which has produced some wildly successful British film since 2003, including Dead Man's Shoes and This is England - was at the Apollo filming the show. The "theatrical" DVD special is expected to be released in the spring.
Warped also filmed Arctic Monkey's short film Scummy Man.
By the way, after much searching, I was able to get my hands on an exclusive and rare print (handed out at the shows in December) of the Arctic Monkey's "Christmas special" with Big Issue magazine.
The spread includes many photos of the usually shy band members and an extensive article.
"Teddy Picker" video - released Dec. 31, 2007
Teddy Picker Lyrics
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
The punchline before they have told the joke
Plenty of desperation to be seen
Staring at the television screen
They've sped up to the point where they provoke
You to tell the f**king punchline before you have told the joke
Sorry sunshine it doesn't exist
It wasn't in the top 100 list
And it's the thousandth time that it's even bolder,
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
They told ya,but you were dying for it
She saw it and she grabbed it and it wasn't what it seemed
The kids all dream of making it, whatever that means
Another variation on a theme
A tangle on the television and the magazine
D'you reckon that they do it for a joke?
D'you reckon that they make 'em take an oath?
That says "we are defenders
[Teddy Picker lyrics on http://www.metrolyrics.com]
Of any poseur or professional pretender around"
When did your list replace the twist and turn
like a fist replaced a kiss, don't concern us with your bollocks
I don't want your prayers
Save it for the morning after
And it's the thousandth time and it's even bolder,
Don't be surprised when you get bent over,
They told ya, but you were gagging for it
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Lets have a game on the Teddy Picker
Not quick enough can I have it quicker?
Already thick and you're getting thicker
Assuming that all things are equal,
Who'd want to be men of the people
When there's people like you?
