i like this a lot. i don't care for the sun-gunnish lighting on the night stuff, but this video is cool.

Shit - that was good.

like the idea- but like all of shane meadows stuff- never gets it quite right- if your gonna do the " poor English people with no lives" leave it to Lynn Ramsey.

Ha! Great track, nice (but forgettable) video. Like a lot of Warp stuff lately, actually. It's done its job, though - I'll be checking these guys out next time I'm at the record store...

Heard the song yesterday for the first time. Downloaded the album today and after seen this music video I think this band got real potential!

this is going to be a movie. sez nme:

Arctic Monkeys: The Movie Band make short film based on Number One single Arctic Monkeys have made a film based on recent Number One single 'When The Sun Goes Down', NME.COM can exclusively reveal.

The band have teamed up with the production company who worked on 'Dead Man's Shoes' to make two short clips. They tell the story of a prostitute working on the streets of Sheffield - and it's loosely based on the narrative in the band's second Number One single. The video for 'When The Sun Goes Down' contains clips from the film, although the finished movie is longer.

A film source told NME.COM: "Shooting took place before Christmas. The idea is to tell the story of the song from two different perspectives. The first film is called 'Scummy Man' and is 14 minutes long, and tells the story of a prostitute called Nina, the 'scummy man' mentioned in the title and all the low-life people who live in that world. The second film is called 'Just Another Day' and is shorter, about eight minutes long. It's the film from another perspective."

Singer Alex Turner told NME.COM: "They filmed it near where it were all about. They've properly took it into their own space, and they've made, they've brought their own character to it as well. I think that's good because they've took it to a different place."

!!Lookhere!!

Does anyone know the full story on this? I just got a copy of SFA's "Run-Away", a Warp Films production, and the title screen says it was produced by Diarmid Scrimshaw, who is also mentioned at Shane's website.
