How could you be so blind?

Snap Out of It - Arctic Monkeys (2014)

Bésame mucho: The Police

Love is so fucking cute when you're in, but when you aren't it feels like two songs by The Police (80s-talk), according to the situation.

Situation #1: Am I invisible? 

Every Breath You Take should be in your soundtrack by default if your crush hasn't noticed your existence (yet). 

There is nothing wrong about the Every step you take, I´ll be watching you thing, I mean: if Sting could do it, so do you.

Answer: NO, you're not invisible. He/she is probably blind. You're amazing.

Situation #2: Keep a safe distance from me, nutter 

Don't Stand So Close To Me and stop liking all my Instagram pics, please (actually, that would be a great single). 

The song is, literally, about a teacher and a Nabokov-ish student, a very specific situation. But, have you heard the chorus? It's very relatable to your situation. You can feel the desperation and the fear in every word. Also, the song talks about the date rumors, people's prejudgement, frustrations and jealous friends that this situation can bring. Scariest thing. 

Answer: It's not your fault, you're too good looking. Make your Instagram account private. If he/she keeps annoying you, call The Police.

(haha, get it?)

Five years of Humbug

Officially, the third studio album by Arctic Monkeys.

For me, a masterpiece and the coolest hairstyles they'll have. If I could shake hands with them while saying 'Great job, mates', I'll do it.

There are thousands of reasons why I love this album but the most essential thing is, in two words: BASS LINES.

It's very important and enjoyable, at least for me, when the bass has a starring role in a song and I can't believe these songs are from 5 years ago! I mean, compared to their other albums, the sound is so different that I never get bored of it.

Now, five of my favourites bass lines from the album are in: 

1. Crying Lightning

2. Secret Door

3. My Propeller

4. Potion Approaching

5. Dance Little Liar

Humbug has a heavier sound, so If you're looking for something softer take a look at the other albums by Arctic Monkeys (the last two are the sweetestes). Nick O'Malley is an amazing bassist, so he won't disappoint you.

This one could be my favourite 21st century album, but the fact that all of the albums by Arctic Monkeys are from this century makes the decision harder.

Did I mention the hairstyles, right?

Happy birthday, Humbug!

Who sold the world?

Sometimes an old song becomes a newer song and that's good because it helps me to discover how were the things before I was born. 

Like two years ago, I listen for the first time ''The man who sold the world'' by Nirvana (it was a MTV Unplugged) and I knew it wasn't an original song from them but i didn't look up for the original version... until yesterday. It's a pretty amazing song written and performed by David Bowie from the '70s. The Kurt Cobain version is sadder (obviously?) than David Bowie's, this one it's more weird and, I don't know, danceable. However, both versions have that cool riff that is basically the best thing in my iPod.

So yes, David Bowie sold the world... first.
