NY Times does Arctic Monkeys, Apiary & Aziz
Sunday's NY Times featured an article on NYC's alt-comedy scene. Aziz Ansari, The Apiary, Nick Kroll, Rififi, Invite Them Up, Demetri Martin and others were given shout-outs.
Nearly every newspaper on Earth has an article on Arctic Monkeys right now. That's because "their first album, 'Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not,' has become the fastest-selling debut in British chart history, with sales of more than 360,000 copies during its first week on the charts." That includes the NY Times who says "Hype isn't really the right word to describe the Arctic Monkeys phenomenon".

In an ironic twist, neither The Arctic Times nor The Antarctic Tribune has covered this band yet.

If you ever find yourself writing a sentence like this, you should step away from the typewriter:
"The debut Arctic Monkeys album, "Whatever People Say I Am, That's What I'm Not" (Domino), has been instantly — and accurately — hailed as a modern classic, even though it was only released a week ago."
