Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not (Pt. 2)

The Big Mates discuss Peter Buck, train love, traditional policemen, and Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not by Arctic Monkeys. Adam, Steve, and Lucas continue their discussion of the band's debut album, going track-by-track to provide analysis and opinion.They also find time to talk about the origins of the post-punk revival scene, the NME's influence on the music scene, and the meanness of 00s culture - all from three differing perspectives, from being deeply into music and analysis, to not caring for art or critique, and everything in between!What is the post-punk revival? What’s the difference between cheeky and evil? How often do we talk about Austin Powers?
