Arctic Rascals or Dizzee Monkey? Duet in the offing?
Posted: 20 Dec '06, 12:08
A duet between Dizzee Rascal and Arctic Monkeys, arguably the two most lauded 'street' acts in the UK at the moment, is the subject of red-top speculation this morning.
Monkeys frontman Alex Turner apparently visited London yesterday to talk to the grime star about the collaboration, which is the result of a friendship developed at the Carling festivals this summer.
Incidentally, 'in the offing' is a phrase that originates from nautical terminology.
"It's the part of the sea that is most distant from the shore but is still visible," say phrases.org.uk. "So, someone who was watching out for a ship would first see it approaching when it was 'in the offing' and when it was expected to dock soon. Something that was 'in the offing'... will inevitably happen before too long."
There is a dearth of news today.

Much as I rate Dizzy
and have nothing against the Arctic Monkeys, I don't understand why everything needs cross-over appeal? Why can't groups just have their own fans and live with it? Unless an actual good song is written during a collaboration, it's just happening for the sake of it-which is wrong.

alex turner
and the rest of the band LIVE in london innit
-
I'm wet with excitement
I've been calling for this for ages.
Can I get a wooo-wooo.
-
I...
..third this opinion. Twat.
-
Because...
...its fun? They're musicians at the end of the day, and if they just want to get together for a laff, what's the harm? Everything they do doesn't have to pander to the public.
-
eh?
how do you know a good song wont be writed?
-
am I...
...the only person who was more interested in the etymology of the phrase 'in the offing'?
-
that'd be so good
actually
-
wrightlew you really are a dumb cunt
fact!
-
no
i was also desperately fascinated. i also wish i was joking
-
-
erm
they don't

Dizzee Rascal
is a national embarrasment. I'm pretty sure the Arctic Monkeys are still big enough to not need a desperation-collaboration with someone as inexplicably flavour-of-the-month as Dizzee Rascal was 2 years ago. But it's saying a lot. Shit happened way too fast for the Arctic Monkeys. I predict an implosion, and soon.
