Arctic Monkeys — From the Ritz to the Rubble
Played: 2026-01-29
This next set of music takes me back to a time of leather jackets, torn Converse, sneaking Red Stripes behind the DJ Booth, and treating this like the soundtrack to our own film. Some things never change, this is Arctic Monkeys, from 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not,' with From the Ritz to the Rubble.
