Watch Arctic Monkeys Perform “Do I Wanna Know?” and “R U Mine?” on Kimmel
If you listen closely, you may remember that last week’s episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live with Kanye West was supposed to have Arctic Monkeys perform as the musical guest.

Perhaps unexpected, though, this version is far more relaxed and chill; though it isn’t just Josh singing and playing on it, this version is definitely acoustic. Overall, it’s […]

Austin City Limits Releases Schedule

Austin City Limits returns this year for two weekends, October 4-6 and October 11-13, and the schedule has just been released. Much to festival-goers’ delights, the two weekends have a pretty similar schedule. Much to festival-goers’ disappointment, there are some […]
