It’s always pretty funny when Arctic Monkeys appear on US foreign shows; their wit and British humor tend to confuse the presenters, not to mention their gritty Sheffield accents.
Lead singer Alex Turner appeared on Triple J recently, and performed a cover of Patsy Cline’s 1961 classic Strange, with Turner’s unique croon adding a wonderfully vibrant element to the track. Also, check out the interview after the acoustic track, in which Turner seems rather surprised to learn that he’ll be playing with Radiohead at Coachella, and admits he hasn’t actually seen the poster. Check out his take on Strange below, and the original under that.
