Here's some random quotes from the Arctic Monkeys regarding the departure of bassist Andy Nicholson from the band earlier this year. They have been nabbed from NME.com, and make no sense to me, but I'm guessing they do make sense if you read the full interview with the band in this week's NME. Alas, I don't have a copy to hand to check.
Alex Turner: "We sorta found ourselves in a situations where we wanted to move forward. It weren't like us wanting to carry on like this as punishment for him wanting to opt out."
Jamie Cooke: "Everyone might say we're wankers and we shit on him, but they don't know. We know, Andy knows and that's all that really matters."
