Motley Tunes is a weekly segment featuring an assortment of 2-4 songs I find worth sharing.
1. Fluorescent Adolescent by Arctic Monkeys
Amusing music video, this.
2. Heavy Metal Drummer by Wilco
Oh those drums, oh that cheerful yet wistful mood! Have we not ever fallen head over heels for a charming band member? A pretty bassist, or that handsome singer? I love being naive when it comes to crushes, don't we all do? On growing up, I hope I look back on the line "I miss the innocence I've known" (song lyrics here) and cherish this naivety.
So yeah, there you go, two great songs, both having different takes on yearning about a life once lived (oh how I brood over my early teens!). May they make your day!

My favorite Arctic Monkeys song. Has a nostalgic ring to it, which makes one reminisce about the good ol' days. The lyrics are quite wild but very witty - "was it a Mecca dauber or a betting pencil" (did he have a long 'pencil' or a short one? :O) - always makes me chuckle. The fact that Alex Turner sings in his trademark Sheffield accent adds to the song's sexiness. AM reminds us that adolescence is a very colorful time that must be cherished.
