NME: Arctic Monkeys - Alex Turner's Guide To 'Suck It And See'

from NME:

She’s Thunderstorms 
I remember writing this one when there was a storm going on. They get like mad storms over there [in New York], like, apocalyptic. I’m always trying to think of different interesting ways to like describe somebody but compliment them too. So in that one, I like the idea that she’s not even a thunderstorm, she’s more than one. I quite like the fact she’s plural. 'Thunderstorms’ meaning just, y’know, awesome!

Black Treacle
 
This was much later down the line. I watched a couple of westerns when we were doing this, like Butch Cassidy And The Sundance Kid which gets a reference in there. I also just wanted to put 'belly-button piercings’ in a tune, I thought that would be good. I’d kind of wanted to do it for a couple of weeks and then managed to fit it in there. Why? I’d not thought about them for a while and they came on my radar somehow. And then I thought about this thing of them and the stars being juxtaposed.
Brick By Brick
 
It’s just a fucking laugh, isn’t it? It’s got, like, three “rock’n’rolls” in it. We were in Miami on tour once and we just got off a long flight to there and we had an idea for a song called 'Brick By Brick’ and so we wrote it that night just sorta in a bar. But it were quite loose, we thought about it as the concept of a song and all these things that you want to do – brick by brick – and we just made a list of them that was probably three times as long as what it ended up over that night and the next few weeks.

It was probably the first tune we had for this. We’re also working on 'Brick By Brick 2.0’. It’s called 'IDST’. Do you remember that? When you’d write on a bus seat, or whatever, 'I love whoever IDST’ – If Destroyed Still True? So that iron’s in the fire now.”

The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala
 
There’s always a load of words in our tunes, isn’t there. And I was trying to think of a way of being a bit more economical, so we thought the one way of doing that is having really simple choruses but quite complicated verses lyrically – and that were one of them. I mean it’s based on a place that I’ve been but I don’t necessarily want that to be what the listener associates it with.
’Cause maybe they can relate it to a place they’ve been. I don’t want to ruin that by giving them a map. Some great harmonies on this
song too. [Producer] James Ford’s favourite bit of this record is on that song. It goes “uh-oh-uh-oh-wo”. Maybe it’s because it sounds like the Klaxons. I always think he prefers them to us.

Don’t Sit Down ’Cause I’ve Moved Your Chair
 
Well, that’s something somebody said. Oh, in fact I said it to somebody whose chair I’d moved and I didn’t want them to hurt themselves. This was while we were in the studio doing the Submarine recording [Alex recorded the soundtrack to friend Richard Ayoade’s debut film] and James said, 'Oh, that sounds like it could be like a ’60s garage Nuggets tune and be called that’.

So then we thought, well, ok if that’s what you can’t do (sit down, ’cos I’ve moved your chair), then what sort of ridiculous things can you do that are probably more dangerous than if you just sat down? But also I quite like that it’s, y’know, well, you don’t want people to be sat down, do you? You want them to be up. That’s going to be our first single I think.

Library Pictures 
“This is one where I definitely think the words are taking a backseat. It’s just about chaos. Like, all the sound of it – all the music and guitars and drums – everything’s just barmy and I’m trying to make the lyrics subscribe to that as well. Do I ever do that William Burroughs thing where you cut words up and arrange them randomly? No, I never actually do it physically but maybe in my head a little bit. We recorded it one day like really hungover and had a great day. It were a really good hangover, like a giddy one.
All My Own Stunts 
Josh [Homme] comes and sings on this one. He’s very dominant, his voice. When you record his voice it just sort of leaps out, it’s great. What else can I tell you about that one? It’s got another reference to cowboy films. It just says, “I’ve been watching cowboy films on gloomy afternoons” which were something I were doing at the time. It’s also where we let ourselves have a bit of a wig-out.
There’s not as much wigging out on this [album] as the last one, we rationed it. Also at the end you hear a little snippet of this song we were making up while we in the studio there called 'I’m From High Green’ which is where we’re from. It was summat we were singing quite a lot, the four of us, while we were there. How does it go again? Oh yeah, so you’ve got to do it in a sort of Chris Cornell-style vocal: “I lost my accent/I live the dream/but I still like my ale/because I’m from High Green”. That sort of thing. Look out for it, you get a little snip.

Reckless Serenade 
I think this sort of sounds the best. I really like the recording of this one, I think it’s come out the best. It’s just a love song I suppose. In terms of the sound I guess some of the stuff we were listening to was like the Pixies. And having the drums quite tough, that comes across on that tune a bit.
Piledriver Waltz
 
This one is on the Submarine soundtrack although I didn’t write it specifically for that. I had a couple of things lying around that were too quiet to be Monkeys tunes – well, that’s what I thought, anyway. So I said, what about these and Richard [Ayoade] liked them. But then we were putting this together and I really thought it might fit in with 'Thunderstorms’ and 'Suck It And See’.
So we thought why not just do another version [recorded with the full band] because the one on Submarine is just me and James, he played drums and there’s some strings and stuff on it. I think doing that Submarine album did lead me into some of the songs on this album too.”
Love Is A Laserquest
 
I’ve never listened to country music before, it was just something I totally didn’t get until pretty recently. I’ve always been, 'Nah, not into that world’, but I’ve started to get something out of that now. The sort of sounds of that music I’m still not crazy about but the words are really good. Like Hank Williams, George Jones and Roger Miller and even like Johnny Cash – they’re just smart-arses, those guys, who write good country tunes, y’know. It’s really funny or really sad. And they do that thing so well. This tune is the closest to that. Not like in the sound, but in the lyrics.”

Suck It And See
 
That is something that I started writing when we were recording those Submarine tracks. It just sort of came to me that melody and chorus, it’s quite Beach Boys-y which is something I’ve been listening to a lot recently, and always have. We decided to make it the title track quite near the end – once the pedals thing didn’t really come off. When we played it to someone earlier they were asking us about the fizzy drink reference in that where it says “dandelion and burdock” – a lot of people don’t get that and don’t realise what it is.
Something I like the idea of is putting colloquialisms where they feel strange – especially in some of the other tunes like the fuzzy, heavier ones, it feels quite funny when you can drop in something very British next to 'Raw Power’ guitars.

That’s Where You’re Wrong
 
It were all about having the words not get in the way of this one. That were one of the last ones we did when we were in London before Christmas. We did it in one day. It’s a bit like '505’ – that tune on the second album, where it’s just two chords all the way through and we’d wanted to do a tune like that again for a while. There’s loads of good examples of that like that LCD Soundsystem 'All My Friends’ tune.
It’s just the two chords that build and build. But for a while I didn’t have words for that – I was just singing 'Edge and Bono’. There’s a demo of it somewhere where it’s mostly 'Edge and Bono’. I dunno what else to say about that one. It were a bit of a late runner that one but it worked out.”

Pete Doherty will probably be released from prison in time to play the Reading and Leeds Festivals this August, according to the official court report of his sentencing.

The Libertines man was sentenced to six months in prison on Friday (May 20) after pleading guilty to cocaine possession, but he has now been given a likely release date of August 21. This would be five days before he is due to headline the Festival Republic stage at Leeds Festival, on August 26. He's set to play Reading Festival two days later.

Reading And Leeds Festivals spokesperson told NME today (May 23) that they had no comment to make yet about whether they would be holding out to see if the singer ended up being released in time for the events.

Doherty was charged and convicted after a police investigation into the death of his friend, filmmaker Robin Whitehead in 2010. She died from complications from heroin poisoning. Details of Doherty' sentence, along with the judges comment aboutWhitehead's death have been published at Thelawpages.com.

Although the frontman is now expected to be released in time for Reading And Leeds Festivals, the length of his sentence is almost certain to force him to cancel planned appearances at T In The Park and Oxegen festivals in July.

According to the website http://brian-eno.net: 






Brian Eno first came across the work of Rick Holland in the late 90’s during the Map-Making project; a series of collaborative works between students of the Royal College, the Guildhall School of Music, the Royal Academy of Music, the Royal College of Music, the National Youth Orchestra and the English National Ballet, among others.


In 2003, Brian and Rick made their first music together (the resulting work does not appear on this album). In the intervening time since that initial session they have met infrequently to work on new compositions.
In early 2011, following the release of ‘Small Craft on a Milk Sea’ (Brian’s debut album for Warp Records), the pair resolved to finish the project. ‘Drums Between the Bells’ is the result.

Pete Doherty has been sentenced to six months in jail after pleading guilty to cocaine possession.

The Libertines man appeared at Snaresbrook Crown Court in his hometown London today (May 20) to hear his sentence, reports the Press Association. The verdict came after a police investigation into the death of his friend, filmmaker Robin Whitehead in 2009.

The singer recently wrote a blog in which he claimed he had not supplied Whitehead with drugs, despite her living with him. He also tried to distance himself further from the 2006 death of Mark Blanco in the blog.

He had been due to play a solo gig at the Glasgow Barrowlands venue tonight.

Musician Pete Doherty has been jailed for six months after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine.
The 32-year-old, who was due to be playing Glasgow Barrowland later on Friday, was arrested in January last year by police investigating the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
The singer, from north London, has been jailed twice before and has admitted possession of class A substances on several occasions.
A spokesman for the Barrowland venue said the gig would be postponed until further notice.
Doherty leaned forward in his seat as he was sentenced at Snaresbrook crown court, east London, but did not show any emotion.
Judge David Radford said he had an "appalling record" of committing offences, having made 13 court appearances in the past.
Peter Wolfe, 42, who had pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of cocaine and one count of supplying cocaine to Whitehead, was sentenced to a total of 12 months in prison.
Radford said: "The circumstances in which the committal of these offences which I have to deal with today is tragic.
"Police became aware of the relevant evidence because of the investigation which followed the discovery of the sad death of a young woman who had been present at the address where the offences had been committed.
"The offences involved the social supply of crack cocaine in a crack cocaine pipe, which you handed to that person.
"I make it clear though, abundantly clear, that the young woman's death was not caused by that supply of crack cocaine.
"Unhappily and tragically that woman died from the poisoning of another illegal class A drug which she had chosen to take.
"The grief and loss to her family and friends caused by her death cannot and should not be sought in any way to be expiated by the sentence I pass today."
Whitehead, 27, the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine, spent the last 10 days of her life creating a documentary about Doherty.
Her mother, Dido Whitehead, is a cousin of Jemima Khan and Zac Goldsmith, and her father is the film-maker Peter Whitehead.
Outlining the case, prosecutor Alison Morgan said paramedics were called to Wolfe's flat in Landmark Heights, Hackney, east London, at around 8pm on 24 January last year.
They attempted to resuscitate Whitehead but she was pronounced dead shortly after 8pm.
Toxicology reports found she had a combination of cocaine and heroin in her body and had died of heroin poisoning.
When police attended the address they seized a crack pipe along with other drug paraphernalia and the video footage that Whitehead had taken.
Footage filmed on 22 January inside the flat showed Wolfe passing her a crack pipe, which she then smoked.
She said Doherty later joined them and was also filmed smoking on the crack pipe and putting crack cocaine inside it.
She said the drug offences with which the two men had been charged had been committed between 22 January and that day but that the crack cocaine that Wolfe had supplied to Whitehead could not have been what killed her.
During mitigation Peter Ratliff, defending Doherty, said he was renowned for his drug abuse, adding: "It's an offence which addicts commit every day of every year."
He said of his client, who has fronted indie bands Libertines and Babyshambles and has recently been touring as a solo artist: "Any claim that this defendant somehow glamorises drug use is misguided.
"He takes no pleasure in his addiction. It's one thing he's said publicly he would not wish upon his worst enemy.
"He is acutely aware of the agonising nature of addiction.
"He has to live with the fact that when he receives publicity it's almost entirely negative and that's entirely for his actions."

Musician Pete Doherty was jailed for six months today after pleading guilty to possession of cocaine.
The 32-year-old, who was due to be playing Glasgow Barrowland tonight, was arrested in January last year by police investigating the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
The controversial singer, of Camden High Street, north London, has twice been jailed before and has repeatedly admitted possession of class A substances.
A spokesman for the Barrowlands venue in Glasgow said the gig would be postponed until further notice.
Doherty leaned forward in his seat as he was sentenced at east London's Snaresbrook Crown Court but did not show any emotion as he was sentenced for the single count.
Judge David Radford said he had an "appalling record" of committing offences, having already made 13 other court appearances.
Peter Wolfe, 42, who had pleaded guilty to two counts of possession of cocaine and one count of supplying cocaine to Miss Whitehead, was sentenced to a total of 12 months in prison.
Judge Radford said: "The circumstances in which the committal of these offences which I have to deal with today is tragic.
"Police became aware of the relevant evidence because of the investigation which followed the discovery of the sad death of a young woman who had been present at the address where the offences had been committed.

"The grief and loss to her family and friends caused by her death cannot and should not be sought in any way to be expiated by the sentence I pass today."
Miss Whitehead, 27, the granddaughter of the late Teddy Goldsmith, founder of The Ecologist magazine, spent the last 10 days of her life creating a documentary about Doherty.
Her mother, Dido Whitehead, is a cousin of Jemima Khan and Zac Goldsmith and her father is film-maker Peter Whitehead.
Outlining the case, prosecutor Alison Morgan said paramedics were called to Wolfe's flat in Landmark Heights, Hackney, east London, at around 8pm on January 24 last year.

Footage filmed on January 22 inside the flat showed her in the flat with Wolfe and him passing her a crack pipe, which she then smoked.
Doherty later joined them and was also filmed smoking on the crack pipe and putting crack cocaine inside it.
Ms Morgan said the drugs offences for which the two men had been charged had been committed between January 22 and that day but that the crack cocaine that Wolfe had supplied Miss Whitehead with could not have been what killed her.
Wearing a grey suit with waistcoat, a navy blue cravat and with a red handkerchief dangling out his top pocket, Doherty had whispered continually to his co-defendant as the background to the case was read out.
The pair, who were both clean-shaven but looked scruffy and dishevelled, were flanked by three security officers as they sat in the dock in the packed courtroom.
During mitigation Peter Ratliff, defending Doherty, said he was renowned for his drug abuse, adding: "It's an offence which addicts commit every day of every year."
He said of his client, who has fronted indie bands Libertines and Babyshambles and has recently been touring as a solo artist: "Any claim that this defendant somehow glamorises drug use is misguided.
"He takes no pleasure in his addiction. It's one thing he's said publicly he would not wish upon his worst enemy.
"He is acutely aware of the agonising nature of addiction.
"He has to live with the fact that when he receives publicity it's almost entirely negative and that's entirely for his actions."
Mr Ratliff said Doherty was busier than ever with his music career, is starring in a film and has designed his own clothing range and if he were to be jailed he would be letting down countless other people he works with.
"He is someone who can make a very valuable contribution to our music industry, our film industry and to the economy," he said.
He said he could be heard talking about how he wanted to give up taking drugs on the film and could also be heard to refuse to give Miss Whitehead the crack pipe himself.
Elaine Stapleton, defending Wolfe, said he was "genuinely remorseful" for his actions.
She said he was currently on a methadone script and had moved to Maidstone, Kent, in a bid to get over his drug addiction.
The court heard details of Doherty's lengthy list of previous convictions.
He was first arrested for possessing drugs in October 2005 and since then has repeatedly admitted possession of class A substances.
In 2008, he served 29 days of a 14-week sentence in Wormwood Scrubs prison after being arrested on drugs charges the previous year.
In 2003 he admitted burgling the home of former Libertines bandmate Caral Barat and was sentenced to six months in prison, later cut to two on appeal.
Addressing the troubled singer, the judge said: "There is no doubt that you are a talented and successful musician.
"You have though, an appalling record of committing offences of the same kind as I have to deal with on this occasion."
He added that Doherty should receive the "appropriate penalty" regardless of his career.
He sentenced Wolfe to two lots of four months and one of 12 months for each of his three charges, to run concurrently.
Doherty, who gave a wave to friends at the back of the courtroom as he was led down to the cells, had previously said he was "shocked and saddened" by Miss Whitehead's death.
Her family, who were in court, declined to comment after the hearing but a friend paid tribute.
Sarah Clarke, 37, said she had known Miss Whitehead for 15 years after working with her.
She said: "She was just the life and soul, a really loyal friend. She was unique and a very special person"
Speaking of Miss Whitehead's friendship with the defendants, she said: "She was not like them. She was not a drug addict in any way. She just got swept away."

Pete Doherty behind bars

TROUBLED musician Pete Doherty was back behind bars today after he pleaded guilty to possession of cocaine.

Doherty, 32, was jailed for six months and had been due to play Glasgow Barrowland tonight had he walked free from Snaresbrook Crown Court.
The Babyshambles star was nicked in January last year by cops investigating the suspected overdose death of heiress Robyn Whitehead.
The singer, from Camden, north London, has twice been jailed before and has repeatedly admitted possession of class A substances.
Doherty leaned forward in his seat as he was sentenced at east London's Snaresbrook Crown Court but did not show any emotion as he was sentenced for the single count.

When police attended the address they seized a crack pipe along with other drug paraphernalia along with the video footage that Miss Whitehead had taken.
Footage filmed on January 22 inside the flat showed her in the flat with Wolfe and him passing her a crack pipe, which she then smoked.
She said Doherty later joined them and was also filmed smoking on the crack pipe and putting crack cocaine inside it.
She said the drugs offences to which the two men had been charged had been committed between January 22 and that day but that the crack cocaine that Wolfe had supplied Miss Whitehead with could not have been what killed her.
Addressing the troubled singer, the judge said: "There is no doubt that you are a talented and successful musician.
"You have though, an appalling record of committing offences of the same kind as I have to deal with on this occasion."
He added that Doherty should receive the "appropriate penalty" regardless of his career.
He sentenced Wolfe to two lots of four months and one of 12 months for each of his three charges, to run concurrently.
Doherty, who gave a wave to friends at the back of the courtroom as he was led down to the cells, had previously said he was "shocked and saddened" by Miss Whitehead's death.
Her family, who were in court, declined to comment after the hearing but a friend paid tribute.
Sarah Clarke, 37, said she had known Miss Whitehead for 15 years after working with her.
She said: "She was just the life and soul, a really loyal friend. She was unique and a very special person."
Speaking of Miss Whitehead's friendship with the defendants, she said: "She was not like them. She was not a drug addict in any way. She just got swept away."
