Arctic Monkeys B-Sides!

An album like Humbug gets better each time you hear it. It's the Arctic Monkeys' 3rd album and offers some of the most diverse tunes the band has ever recorded on a single record. "My Propeller" is up there on my list for one of the best songs by a rock band this year (the song itself, if you haven't heard it, is perhaps the most obvious metaphor for sex I've heard all year).

But as of today, with the release of the band's latest EP, Cornerstone and the latest single "Cornerstone", three additional songs are coming with: "Catapult", "Sketchead", and "Freight Lined Dining Room". These B-sides are pretty hip, and if they're free to hear on-line, why not give them a listen? If I can choose my favorite, it's probably "Freight Lined Dining Room", based on artillery of heavy guitar riffs and percussion. All the songs are on the available physical single, but also on YouTube. Here you go:

Arctic Monkeys - "Catapult"


Arctic Monkeys - "Sketchead"


Arctic Monkeys - "Freight Lined Dining Room"

Cornerstone is out now via Domino Records.
