A friend asked me today about the Arctic Monkeys after seeing a Globe writeup on their album. I don't religiously follow release dates like I used to do - I can probably tell you the exact dates that Monster (9/27/94), OK Computer (7/3/97), Be Here Now (8/26/97, but it's on the cover) and New Adventures in Hi-Fi (9/10/96) were released* - but I was surprised to hear that this album was just getting a US release. Of course, I've heard about it's #1 debut and all the hype in the UK, but these songs have actually been on the radio, and not just British Accents. I'm curious to see how much of the UK hype machine carries over to the Colonies. Now that I think of it, a 1-2 month delay between British and American releases isn't that bad, considering the months and years that it took for some albums from Kula Shaker, Muse, and many others. Even if the release dates are the "same", the UK still gets its new albums on Monday and we have to wait and wait until Tuesday. This used to matter to me a lot more when I was in college and was at the midnight sale once every month or so, but I still get steamed up about it.
