In Other Arctic Monkeys News:

• The band kicked off their UK tour a few nights ago (4/9/07) in Southampton. NME has the review and setlist. Check out the last 6 tunes alone. All I can say is, wow, I can't wait for the show here. YouTube vids from the gig here.

• Set your DVRs or check YouTube the following day: Arctic Monkeys on Jimmy Kimmel Thursday 4/26/07. More info and tickets here.

• Chris over @ CultureBully posted mp3s of Arctic Monkeys' legendary 2006 Reading festival performance. I think I'm converting him ;)
  

• Have I mentioned lately that the new album is unbelievable? I may soon call it "classic". To sample more audio/mp3s: the band is currently dominating the Hype Machine.

In Non Arctic Monkeys News (yes, there is such a thing here and there on my blog):

• I forgot to mention a few things about last week's Elvis Perkins & Let's Go Sailing show @ 400 Bar. City Pages had an interview with Mr. Perkins and Let's Go Sailing were on NPR. Also, Andrea is working on a review for HWTS and Stacy took some great photos.

• Peter Scholtes from CityPages has an amazing post on Brother Ali on his blog Complicated Fun. Music, links, photos, videos... it's all there. Check it out.

• Voltage: Fashion Amplified tonight @ First Avenue. Last gig for The Alarmists with Joe in the band. You should go... plus, fashion & rock 'n' roll on the same bill... you can't go wrong. Chuck over at MNStories has a cool video about the event.
  

• Jack & Meg, I've missed you. June is gonna' rock.

• NPR has Lilly Allen's 4/8/07 live performance from DC for you. They also have last night's Low's performance from the same venue.

• I've been meaning to post this for ages, but keep forgetting... Noel Gallagher (w/Gem) covers The Smiths' There Is A Light That Never Goes Out. Fookin' brilliant. (via Mr. Torr)
  

• Lastly, lots of press on Patrick Wolf this week... His new album The Magic Position just dropped Monday, 4/10/07 in the UK (out 5/1/07 in the US). While I haven't listened to the album yet (pathetic, I know... and I call myself a music blogger?), I love the latest single:
