So, uh, joke's on me. I tried to give you what I knew about Record Store Day, but somehow little gems and joys still keep popping up before the big day. Arctic Monkeys are part of those practically last-minute announcements, with a 7" coming out that has the comically titled track "Don't Sit Down 'Cause I've Moved Your Chair."
The track starts with with some pretty blasé guitars paired with equally cliché lyrics, but just as you're thinking "what the hell is this sh–" you get slapped in the face by heavy guitars and a steady drumbeat. It's definitely harder to dance to, but still equally entertaining. You can download the song tonight at midnight, grab it on Record Store Day as a 7" and own it when Suck It and See drops June 6.
