A ballad about ageing and nostalgia for youth, may not exactly be your idea of a pre-game track, but when it's an old Arctic Monkeys song that's bouncy and poppy, and the film clip includes a brawl with clowns, it kind of works. 'Fluorescent Adolescent' is this weeks beat of choice.
'Fluorescent Adolescent' was the second release off their 2007 album 'Favourite Worst Nightmare' (yep, more than 10 years ago now!). You know this is a tune that would go down well live, with a raucous crowed, bellowing back every word.
The kind of music that will drown and absorb you just through listening is pretty much anything to do with Jack White. One of his side projects, The Raconteurs offers up the goods with 'Salute Your Solution'.
It's time for a full playlist to kick start the weekend, and this one is filled with non-stop bangers. Terry Gilliam's adaptation of Hunter S. Thompson's, 'Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas', has become a cult classic that is visually incredible and the soundtrack is filled with killer songs from the 60's and 70's, plus Vegas style classics that make this a fun ride.
It's 2am, feeling alright, just getting started tonight...A bit of no-frills garage rock from LA based band, The Black Tibetans, is giving us those Friday feels in 'You're Cold'.
