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? Find out on this episode of What Is Music?

Our next episode is out next week, Monday June 23rd, and will conclude the deep-dive into Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not!
