OK, so I know Arctic Monkeys members Alex Turner, Jamie Cook, Matt Helders and Nick O’Malley are all older than me, but <\/em>that doesn’t change the fact that I feel like a proud mother to the band \u2013 come on, I’ve been a fan for nearly a decade!<\/p>\n

My pride this week stems from a chanceful moment last night when, thanks to the sudden death of my phone battery, I tuned into KROQ as I was driving home from the store.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

The radio station was halfway through its \u201cFurious 5 at 9\u201d segment, which plays the top five songs of the day. I caught it at No. 3 \u2013 New Politics’ \u201cEverywhere I Go (Kings and Queens) \u2013 and paid no attention to the second best song of the night.<\/p>\n

What really caught my attention was hearing the opening riff to Arctic Monkeys, \u201cR U Mine?\u201d<\/p>\n

It was my first time hearing the song on any mainstream radio \u2013 though they play \u201cDo I Wanna Know?\u201d and \u201cWhy’d You Only Call Me When You’re High?\u201d on repeat it seems.<\/p>\n

My first thought, was, it’s about damn time! \u201cR U Mine?\u201d was first released April, 2012 as a special single for Record Store Day, and was later found as the second track on AM, the band’s fifth studio album.<\/p>\n

Why it took the mainstream crowd three years to catch up to the \u201chype\u201d is beyond me, but I’m just happy my lovely lads are getting lots of recognition state side these days.<\/p>\n

So, as a little ode to my favorite band, here’s to your No. 1 spot Arctic Monkeys \u2014 the song was also first premiered on KROQ’s radio station.<\/p>\n

Also, late Happy Birthday to front man Turner, who turned 29 on Jan. 6.<\/p>\n
