“I just want you to do me no good,” sings Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys in the loose, easy, but dark lyrics from “No. 1 Party Anthem.” The lyrics are more hauntingly Lennon than anything I’ve heard in a while. I had the pleasure of seeing the Arctic Monkeys live last year, and I couldn’t help draw the Lennon comparison—they don’t disappoint on AM, the band’s fifth album. The single “Do I Wanna Know” is a riff-fuelled, bluesy raunch that gets it right from the first note and hits that sweet spot that brings me back again and again. The album is lighter than previous outings, with a touch more glam and lust. One reviewer used the phrase “naughty aggression” to sum up the album and I couldn’t agree more. If you have never listened to the Arctic Monkeys, AM will make you a fan. For the rest of us, it is nice diversion.

Did you know bon bons are a TBay original? They were created in 1946 by Lam Pang. The popularity of this category in our readers’ survey is proof that we still love our bon bons, congrats to Mr. Chinese whose bite-sized, tasty pork short ribs were voted the best!

It’s all in the family at @nortenos.taqueria with brothers Jamie and Dillon Baratta. “We felt that there were no real Mexican restaurants in Fort William, so the location was an easy choice for us,” says Jamie. “Without the pandemic, @nortenos.taqueria probably would have never happened,”' says Dillon.
