In some ways, Arctic Monkeys could be seen as the definitive band of the Oughts. London’s Guardian newspaper certainly thinks so, having recently named them “Newcomers of the decade.”

To record Humbug, Arctic Monkeys holed up in the Mojave Desert with producer Josh Homme, best known for creating heavy rock anthems with Queens of the Stone Age and Them Crooked Vultures.

This unassuming British quartet has only released a trio of LPs, the latest being Humbug, which came out in August. But they’ve got a handful of prestigious prizes under their collective belts, including a Mercury Music Prize (for Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not) and a handful of BRIT awards. Not bad for a band that began as a pastime for a gaggle of bored teenagers in a suburb of Sheffield, England, back in 2001.

The group members’ youth - co-founders Alex Turner and Jamie Cook were 15 and 16, respectively - worked to their advantage: they burned copies of their demo recordings on home computers and gave away their songs for free to the kids who turned out for local shows in Sheffield. In turn, those web-savvy supporters helped make the Monkeys an internet sensation, trading MP3s through file-sharing channels and flocking to a fan-created MySpace page.

By the time the Arctic Monkeys put out their first proper album, Whatever People Say I Am, That’s What I’m Not, in January of 2006, they were already a buzz band. Consequently, that record became the fastest-selling debut in British history. (It was recently surpassed by Susan Boyle’s I Dreamed a Dream.) Listeners were enamoured of the group’s bristling guitar riffs and muscular drums. Meanwhile, frontman Alex Turner was declared the voice of his generation, thanks to his tales of petulant English kids getting their swagger on in suburban pubs and clubs. His lyrics were laced with the region’s lingua franca and delivered with the perfect attitude of cool detachment.

Tinchy Stryder has admitted that he can’t understand why La Roux singer Elly Jackson decided to criticise him recently.

The rapper, who released new single ‘You’re Not Alone’ on Monday, insisted that Jackson should keep her opinions to herself in future.

“She said when I was 17 I wasn’t as good a songwriter as George Michael. I’m still to this day trying to make sense of that. I don’t know why she compared me to him in the first place,” he told DS.

“I like La Roux’s stuff though, I like a couple of her songs. But I guess she just likes to speak a bit too much. I don’t know. I don’t know what was in her head that day.

“I’ve never met her, but if I meet her, I’ll see what’s going on. Or maybe I should collaborate with her to solve it.”

It’s been a whirlwind 12 months in the Tinchy Stryder camp to say the least. Since the breakthrough success of ‘Take Me Back’ in January, he’s notched up two chart-topping singles (’Number One’, ‘Never Leave You’) and seen his Catch 22 album go gold. We caught up with the compact rapper as he prepares to release ‘You’re Not Alone’, an electropop stomper based on the ’90s dance classic of the same name.

How did the new single come about?
“I was in the studio and wanted to make a track with a sample in it. We were going through a few ideas and that one came up. It was the best-known of the songs that was suggested and I knew immediately it was the right one to go with. I wanted an upbeat vibe for the track and it worked just as I wanted it to.”

Olive told us recently that they wanted you to return the favour and collaborate with them. Would you consider it?
“Definitely. I heard about that the other day and I’d definitely do something with them. I’ve not had any direct contact, but when they get in touch we’ll make it happen.”

There are not many complaints about the Apple iPod, only one complaint often is oftentimes brought up by iPod customers is the lack of ability to transfer iPod music and video from their iPod to a different personal computer. Though the iPod has no trouble transferring songs from your desktop computer to iPod utilising iTunes, the opposite is prevented. Without iPod Transfer Software, you cannot copy your iPod files to an additional machine. This issue often happens when iPod users get a new PC or have to restart the operating system on their old PC. Apple prohibits this action because it doesn’t want unauthorised sharing of purchased files from the iTunes website. Even So, there are a lot legitimate situations that iPod users call for the ability to copy from iPod to PC. If a machine dies and you have to install the operating system, you could need iPod to Computer copy software to recover your worthful data. Differently, the clean installation of iTunes will wipe your iPod, potentially costing you hundreds of dollars in lost files. Yet another common situation people need these types of programs is when they buy a new machine and want to transfer their existing database of iPod files on the new personal computer. Once Again, if you do not install this type of application, you might possibly lose your worthful data. You can find many companies that provide programs to carry out this task. A quick visit to freeware websites will reveal a lot of picks. You can also just type the phrase ‘iPod to PC copy software’ into the search engine of your choice.

A student wrote me an email about the lesson “Ocean Dreams.” Here it is:

“Dear Edward, I can’t believe that you’re using just 3 chords for this piece. It sounds like it uses much more material. Please tell me how you did it!”

Here’s my answer - Dear B. First, thanks for listening to my free lesson. To answer your question, the secret to getting the full sound you hear in this piece is not in how many chords are used. It’s in how the chord is voiced! Notice in the lesson that your left hand is very much open and covers a full octave of the keyboard.

This is what creates the full sound you hear! My right hand is playing melody notes pretty close to the left. Also, I use the principles of repetition and contrast to maintain interest. For example, you’ll notice that there is a beginning section where the melody repeats. Then another section is added (still only using the same 3 chords) with a contrasting melody. Then back to the first theme so the whole piece can be broken down into what’s commonly know as ABA form (even though this piece was improvised).

Using repetition and contrast, we create music that has a definable form or shape. ABA form is very, very common and is used in almost all genres of music, especially New Age. This is why I always say that you don’t need a lot of material to create with. If you understand and use time tested principles, you can use just 3 chords and create an entire piece of music. I hope this answers your question. Regards, Edward Weiss.
