Top 10 Songs by the Arctic Monkeys
As some of you know, the Arctic monkeys is my favorite band of all time. It seems to me that all the musics that they produce are rich in sound and unique. Among them, I have chosen top 10 songs.
10. Fake Tales of San Fransisco
9. I Bet that You Look Good on the Dance Floor
8. Only Ones who know
7. When the Sun Goes Down
6. Teddy Picker
5. Brianstorm
4. Dancing Shoes
3. A Certain Romance
2. From the Ritz to the Rubble
1. Leave Before the lights come on
“Fake Tales of San Fransisco” is quite a good song. However I rated it 10th because it sounded more like Franz Ferdinand’s style, which I don’t really like because they sound little bit like a joke. “I Bet that You Look Good on the Dance Floor” has a good guitar solo. However, Alex’s vocal sound was hard to hear because of the drum and guitars in the background. “Only Ones Who Know” is quite a slow and romantic music. I actually loved it, but there are other songs that are much better. I used to be addicted to “When the Sun Goes Down” and I really enjoyed it. Its rhythm is really addicting and it is kind of a song that will be stuck in your head for a while. However, after I watched the music video, I started to hate it because when ever I hear this song, it reminds me of the music video. “Teddy Picker” is quite unique. It has a repetitive guitar sound on the background and Alex sings extremely fast. This grabbed my attention and made it special for me. That is why I really enjoyed the song. “Brianstorm” is more like hard rock. In the beginning, the blasting sound rocks your head and then the lyrics of the song is quite funny. Also the bass solo is one of my favorite part of the song. I am able to play “Dancing Shoes” on guitar pretty well. I love the solo part of the song, and if you listen to the lyrics carefully, there is a message from Alex, telling you to try to dance with another person. (Well that’s my opinion) The title is weird but listen to it. you will really enjoy it. “A Certain Romance” has an amazing introduction at the beginning. Then, it gets into a quiet and rhythmic guitar sound. Whenever I listen to it, I always think of the Central Park. At the end of the song, Arctic Monkeys plays a blasting melody. “From the Ritz to the Rubble” starts with Alex’s solo. Then drum and bass joins in. This music is something that is hard to explain, yet it still is really good so. “Leave Before the Lights come on”. No.1 on my list. I used to hate this song. However, as I listen to it numerous times, I began to sing the lyrics and now, I listen to it all the time. If I were to recommend a good song by the arctic monkeys to another person, I would recommend this song.
Of course, this rating is my own personal opinion. If you have different opinion, just share it with others by commenting under this article. Thanx
Music Artist Struggle
Before I walk out my house, I always grab 2 useful devices. They are my cell phone and my MP3 player. As soon as I step outside, I put the headphones on my year and listen to numerous songs by different artists. Most of the artists that I listen to is well known artists that my friends also listen to. For me, I never listen to a music made by non-famous artist. However, what makes those artists that I listen to, so famous?
Many artists are struggling these days because of music sharing programs that are popular to many people these days. Their musics are constantly being downloaded illegally because we are living in the age of the internet. Also many artists have difficulties of spreading their existance. However things are not working out. They try to perform on a radio station but soon their work is quickly spread through the internet. Tours or concerts that they perform are unsuccessful because their names are not spread through the world. For them, the world is unfair.
Famous artists on the other hand is doing pretty well. Even though some people download their music off the internet illegally, some people download their music off itunes, which is legal music downloading program, to give some respect to the artist. Also the tours that they make around the world is generally successful. The way that they became successful is simple. In order to be successful for music artists, instead of caring about the money they make, they need to care more about satisfying the listener who are spending their time and money to listen to them.
The band called The Arctic Monkeys, which is my favorite band of all time, was famous around the internet because of their unique name and their extraordinary songs. People loved it. Their names and songs quickly spreaded through out the internet. Soon, people from all around the world desperately wanted to see their live performance. After a few performance, the arctic monkeys began to record limited amount of demo CDs and gave them away for free to the people who came to their performance. People who received their demo CDs uploaded them on their computers and shared it through out the web. If it was a different artist, they would be furious about this behavior. However the Arctic Monkeys did not mind. In fact they thought it was a better way for people to hear more about them. Arctic Monkeys began playing through the radio station and people began to know more and more about them, until they became one of the top bands in Britain.
Arctic Monkeys’ attitude made them feel more closer and closer to the people who are their fans. Their attitude is what other artists should follow. In fact, I believe that for the artists, making other people to share their music isn’t always a disadvantage for them. It is actually a huge advantage to them, since more people will know their name and more people will enjoy their music and will come to their live performance. Then if they really enjoy the artist’s music, they will purchase their music in appreciation of the artist’s work.

First, while Christopher tries to find out how Wellington got murdered, It shows how Christopher interacts the environment around him and how he interacts with nature around him. Secondly, this book is written in Christopher’s point of view. This makes it much more interesting and shows the uniqueness of this book. Lastly, the love from Christopher’s dad made this book into a better quality.

One thing that this book will shock the reader is that during the novel, there are numerous math equations, patterns, or about what christopher is thinking. For some people, his thinking may not be interesting. However for Christopher, these thoughts are one factor that makes up his life or what he is interested in.

People Under 18 Should Not be Allowed on Facebook
Facebook is a social networking site that allows users over the age of 13 to share photos, keep in touch with friends, and make new acquaintances. Opening a Facebook account is exceedingly effortless. All one has to do is provide one’s full name, one’s e-mail, and one’s birthday. I strongly believe that People under 18 should not be allowed on Facebook. Once you are a member of Facebook, not only do your friends look at your account, but people from all around the world are able to access your profile page and it will be dangerous to people under 18. Facebook also caused numerous “cyber-bullying”, and there are numerous dangers that you might face.
Members of Facebook are part of the “social network”, which means that everyone who is part of Facebook is able to access each other’s profile, either directly or indirectly. Social network might be an advantage to numerous people. However, if a personal profile falls into the wrong hands, an individual might be in great danger. For stalkers, Facebook is becoming a useful tool. “It’s making it so much easier for people who want to do stalking to stalk.” By Igor Hiller, 17, a freshman at University of California, Santa Barbara.

Facebook is also the main cause of “cyber-bullying” on Facebook. Students can spread rumors about different individuals without difficulty. Also, they can make an anti-group for certain individuals. In Toronto, there was an incident, that resulted the suspension of 11 male and female students because of cyper-bullying. They were suspended because they violated the school’s code of conduct. Last week, in surry, a 14 year-old boy was a victim of homicide, and police speculate that cyber-bullying may be linked.
There are numerous materials that might not be suitable for people under 18. Unless other people mark them as spam, the contents are still left on Facebook. Also, there are some applications that are not free and require credit card. These applications might attract young Facebook users to deceive their parents in order to use the applications.
Social network is useful in many ways, especially to make new friends from all over the world. However, strangers from all around the world are also able to obtain information about a person, which means anybody’s personal information could fall into wrong hands. Also, numerous cyber-bullying conclude in violent ways and there are lots of information that are unsuitable for people under 18. Therefore, I strongly believe that Facebook should not be allowed to people under 18.
