Legacy (Mansun Song)
"Legacy" is a song by English rock band Mansun. It was released as a single in 1998 from the group's album, ''Six'', and was the lead track on ''Eight EP''. It follows a similar template to many of the group's other hits and was also their highest-charting single, peaking at 7 in the UK Singles Chart. Overview "Legacy" was released as the first single from Mansun's second album, ''Six''. It preceded the album by three months, but is somewhat unrepresentative of the overall sound of its parent album. It bears similarities with "Wide Open Space" and " Closed for Business"; two of the band's most popular singles. The song references the Marquis de Sade. The song's name was later used as the title for the group's retrospective compilation '' Legacy: The Best of Mansun'' in 2005. The closing refrain "Nobody cares when you're gone" were later reused as the title of a documentary about the group included on DVD editions of the ''Legacy: The Best of Mansun'' compilation.

Who The Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?
''Who the Fuck Are Arctic Monkeys?'' is the second EP by English rock band Arctic Monkeys, released on 24 April 2006 by Domino Recording Company. This is the band's final record to feature Andy Nicholson on bass, as he left the band a month after the EP's release. Background "The View from the Afternoon" was expected to have been the band's third single, following UK number ones "I Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor" and " When the Sun Goes Down", but the band announced in March 2006 that its next record would be a five-track EP, which thereby disqualified it from being listed in the UK Singles Chart and UK Albums Chart. "Despair in the Departure Lounge" was premiered at a gig in the Great American Music Hall in San Francisco, although it was played by Alex Turner alone due to Andy Nicholson blowing his bass amplifier. This would also be the only time the band played the song live. Although the contentious language content of the EP resulted in less radio airplay than the ban ...
