Arctic Monkeys: Open Assail!

So, I just heard my first Arctic Monkeys song: "I Bet You Look Good on the Dance Floor," and my personal jury is out... Any word from the assailers out there?

I mean, it was all right. But I liked the song the radio played before it (Electric 6's risque "Vibrator"), and the song played after it (The new Yeah Yeah Yeahs song),
better.

So what do we do about all the hype? Are the Monkeys worth it?

And mind you, this is coming from the guy that usually eats up UK hype like candy...

Help!

Taking gold for weirdest Opening Ceremonies...

Man,
That Torino Opening Ceremonies was weird. We liked the mass-of-people-animating-a-ski-jumper but we were confused by the roller-blading flamers. (Did I say that right?) There were moments that seemed so bizzarre, I thought the next part of the show would be Bjork coming out in a swan dress.

I mean, did you notice the people dancing with cows?

Cows, man.

This is how we do it in the (Torino) OCs...

My last comment: This even beat the Aha Reunion from Opening Ceremonies in Lillehammer.

Oh wait, one more thing: Sharon Stone?

Oh, and another: Yoko Ono?

And another: Peter Gabriel?

It was so random sometimes, I thought I was watching a Super Bowl halftime show.

Okay...
all assail.
(Except you, spammers....stay out of it.)
