Monkey Business

The Arctic Monkeys have brought forward the release date of their clunkily titled' Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not' album a week to the 23rd January. Which basically gives you one week less to lord it over you're mates who haven't downloaded it yet. Except, anyone vaguely interested in the band has downloaded all the songs ages ago anyway since thats the reason its so eagerly awaited. Surely this makes the early leak of the album meaningless - I've had all the tracks since about November in one form or another. So Domino are getting a bit panickity over nothing. Ah well, at least it means someone other than the Kaiser Shits are on the NME.COM newspage anyway...
