Somehow, it all works.

I was checking out the media diets of the Poynter roster, and found this site – 180° News. The site aggregates news based on reader interest.

After adding a few feeds to NetNewsWire, I found this item. It mentions a British band called Arctic Monkey, which apparently tears up the UK charts.

ITunes only has five tracks on two EPs. I bought three songs that caught my ear. The band’s Web site lists an album that came out today, Whatever People Say I am, That’s What I’m Not, which is also mentioned in the Yahoo news item. It’s a shame they don’t have a US store on the site.

They drive hard, maybe a bit rougher than say, Supergrass (one of my favorite current British rockers), but just as catchy.
