28) "The Mid-Morning Recording"        Arctic Monkeys-'Humbug'
I've been listening to Arctic Monkeys around the house for some reason. "Cornerstone" has always been a favorite from the band since it was released. I had noticed that we hadn't played this album yet, and since I was in the studio doing the show, I noticed there was a copy of it at KRTU. "Cornerstone" is easily one of my favorite songs of the century so far. A hooky and slightly naughty pop masterpiece. It really is the cornerstone for this album for me. The rest of the album is also terrific, and a slight change from their previous releases, which I welcomed at the time. I really like and liked the trajectory of Arctic Monkeys. So many can't handle change in a band's sound. Whenever a band does it, they risk losing fans. They also gain listeners with a new sound. I personally love it when bands change and challenge their audience. So many give U2 crap for changing their sound. I personally think they made their best records when they did mature a bit. So many gave Arctic Monkeys crap for the experimental nature of this album, and they got even more with their later releases here so far. As with their overblown start, so much of the music critics tend to miscalculate this band. With that, I'm surprised they aren't playing big arenas in the U.S. quite frankly. - Michael - MFL
