Best Buy Doesn’t Sell “Arctic Monkeys” Album
Today I was out on Long Island for a dress fitting. That’s because I’m a bridesmaid in my friend Amanda’s wedding NEXT YEAR. Since I’m not getting married any time in the near future, all this bridal stuff is totally foreign to me. Buying a dress for something that’s not until 2007 still does not compute in my mind.
Anyway, since I’d already spent an hour or two at David’s Bridal, ate lunch at PF Chengs (The Cheesecake Factory was too busy!), I decided to go suburbia overboard and stop by the nearby Best Buy…which took me 20 minutes to get to in my car even though it was only about 5 minutes walking distance because shopping malls on Long Island have the most retarded parking lot systems EVER.
I headed into that monolith of a electronics and music store, Best Buy, and searched for the Arctic Monkeys CD since I hadn’t bought it yet. I headed toward the “A” section and saw “Air”, “Antony and the Johnsons,” but continued to look for the Monkeys.
I found “Arcade Fire,” but no “Arctic Monkeys.”
“Hmm…It should be riiiight her–Oh.”
Then I realized that there’s a pretty good chance that Best Buy employees do not have to take a spelling test or have a subscription to NME to work there…but hey, I do love me some “Arctec Monkey” every now and then.
This photo is going next to my other cameraphone snapshot of the “Von Blondies” in the Virgin Megastore in Union Square.
hahahaha!
Yeah, well at least they have “Arctec Monkey” there.. the guy at HMV in Barrie, Ontario thought I was making up a band.. and then he laughed at me..
make fun of the suburbs but then you hop in your car? or was it someone else’s?
haha!!
& i’ve decided that i definitely prefer your site to brooklynvegan.com especially since they didnt have reviews of any of the 3 Strokes shows!
I saw it at best buy the other day…but spelled correctly.
Miss Modern Age kicks Mr Brooklyn Vegan’s sorry ass
My store had it. As far as those tabs, I worked there, and those are made store to store, just some hooplehead who cant spell.
i’m not making fun of the ‘burbs! i love!
here in italy on a fnac store (which is supposedly good) i found the MOODY PEACHES.
Check out Editors here; http://editorsofficial.com You’ll be the first to tell all of your friends about them and they’ll think you’re cool.
is that a joke?
[...] Just happen to catch the opening sequence of SNL just now and they announced guest host Matt Dillon, but when it came to the musical guest, the photo of the Arctic Monkeys appeared, but there was absolute silence when it came to announcing their name. Ooops! Well at least they didn’t call them the “Arctec Monkey.” [...]
[...] Oh Lindsay, how sweet and misspelled…just like “Arctec Monkey“. (Source) [...]
