Does it seem like every year the best of lists are out faster? Blender , Paste , and Amazon have already released their lists for the year, and I'm busy re-listening to '08 music and compiling my lists. In the process I've found some songs that I've enjoyed over the year, and for one reason or another forgot about, and have yet to feature on this site. Here's a few of those songs that I recently rediscovered. Enjoy! MP3 Frightened Rabbit - Keep Yourself Warm This song hits me in the [...]

They teach you at journalism school - lesson one - that dog bites man is not a story while man gets a little older, buys a jacket to keep warm? That's news, isn't it, Gordon? WHEN ARCTIC MONKEY ALEX TURNER met TV presenter ALEXA CHUNG last summer he looked a typical Fred Perry-sporting Sheffield lad. Now it's like he has taken on board all the advice from Gok's Fashion Fix, the Channel 4 show she works on. In a double-breasted grey jacket and striped shirt, he appeared more country gent [...]

The Last Shadow Puppets - I Want You (She's So Heavy) (Beatles Cover) The wonderful delightful side project of the Alex Turner (Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (The Rascals) are on of the bright spots of 2008 for many obvious reasons. Not only is Alex Turner one of the brightest songwriters of this generation, but then you add his good buddy Miles to the mix and they complement each other perfectly. A little less than a week ago at [...]
By now what was about a million years ago at Austin City Limits , Jessica and Joshua got to chat with the entire Austin-based quartet Electric Touch . Jessica was really excited since she'd seen them play in Philadelphia not long before, but in between gushing, there is some great conversation. Check it out: Jessica McGinley, PopWreckoning : So here we are with Electric Touch. Thank you guys so much for taking the time to chat. I saw you, you're currently touring with The Fratellis and... Louis Messina Jr. , [...]
And so the honeymoon continues for Alex Turner and Miles Kane's orchestral side-project, The Last Shadow Puppets . Now blossoming into a fully-fledged super-group, the boys have recently released their third single 'My Mistakes Were Made For You' which keeps the bombastic bandwagon rolling along marvellously. These boys clearly know their pop history, but if there wasn't more to their sound than mere homage the gimmick would have worn thin by now. Turner's lyrics are as sharp as any he's penned for the Arctics, only here they are complemented by epic arrangements and [...]
Έντεκα διασκευές για το τελευταίο Σαββατοκύριακο πριν το Φεστιβάλ.. 1. Marianne Faithfull - Dear God Please Help Me (Morrissey) [div] Όταν ένας από τους πιο αγαπημένους σου καλλιτέχνες διασκευάζει ένα τραγούδι σου πρέπει να'σαι πολύ περήφανος, και ο Morrissey δικαίως είναι, καθώς η Marianne Faithfull διαλέγει το καλύτερο τραγούδι του τελευταίου του άλμπουμ.. 2.

Gününüzün yarısını yollarda geçiriyorsunuz ve artık otobüste, metroda, durakta, sokaklarda öylecene beklerken veya yürürken içiniz sıkılıyor, konuşmak ve utanmasanız deli gibi şarkı söylemek istiyorsunuz... Ben, cesaret gösterip şarkı söyleyebiliyorum. O yüzden hem adımlarıma hem eserekli ruhuma hitap edebilecek her türlü liriğe açığım. Ve sesim de güzel çıkıyorsa şayet(Gerçekten çok kötü bir sesim var.), yol hafiften boşsa ya da otobüstekiler benim sesimi duyamayacak kadar gürültü çıkarıyorsa lirikıl felsefeme döner; kulaklığımı takar; vazifeme bakarım. Velhasıl kelam, birkaç haftadır "The Last Shadow Puppets ne güzel lan!" diye sevinç çığlıkları atıyorum her mekan, her saatte. 2007 çıkışlı olması da sevindirici. [...]
Billy Fury . Your granny knows him from such staple Hit Parade fodder as 'Halfway To Paradise' , 'Wondrous Place', 'Last Night Was Made For Love'..... do I need to go on? Billy and Cliff Richard battled it out for the dubious tag of 'British Elvis' , but the more sussed among us really knew that Elvis was in fact the 'American Billy'. Upturned collar? Check. Lip curl? Check. Half-collapsed quiff? Check . Forget the songs listed above and instead listen to [...]

Enjoy this week's take on 'Standing Next To Me' below. MP3 at bottom. MP3: The Last Shadow Puppets - I Don't Like You Anymore
It's always sad to have to acknowledge that nagging empty feeling the day after a show you had been looking forward to for so long, especially when that show was as good as The Last Shadow Puppets at The Grand Ballroom in NYC last night. As many of our regular readers know by now, I am quite zealous about The Last Shadow Puppets . Alex and Miles' live show gladly did not disappoint as they were backed [...]
I mean to post this yesterday but never came around to posting it. Anyway The Last Shadow Puppets peformed 'Standing Next To Me' on Late Night with Conan on Wednesday, you can watch the performance below.

Arctic Monkey frontman Alex Turner and Rascals songsmith Miles Kane have created their very own puppet show. That's right patients, the lads' new side project The Last Shadow Puppets cinemascope-esque LP The Age of the Understatement is filled with femme fatales, dockloads of sexy vibrato and a Brit beat John Berry 007-spaghetti Western Ennio Morricone vibe. Who knew a pair of 22-year-olds could create an album that sounds like a 60s hip British spy film? The seducin' sounds of the LP were produced by Simian Mobile Disco's James Ford and the [...]
Filed under: News , Exclusive Spinner.com : Just a week after releasing brand new EP, 'My Mistakes Were Made for You,' Britain's the Last Shadow Puppets will play their last shows for some time, beginning Thursday in New York City.The band, fronted by Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and Miles Kane...

This is Justice's DJ Set from Electric Proms, recorded live on the BBC from Koko in London. This mix is a bit more eclectic compared to Justice's previous mixes, but a successful venture in to new territory nonetheless. Aside from their own tracks and Daft Punk's "Face to Face", it mostly consists of rare gems from the 70s and 80s, making for a great mix that I'll definitely be filing alongside my other favorite mixes from this year. I knew I was going to enjoy this one when I heard the first track though, Prince's "Raspberry Beret". No tracklist available [...]
The Last Shadow Puppets played a show for BBC Electric Proms 2008. It was recorded on Thurday Octover 24. The band were backed up by a 16-piece BBC concert orchestra and a backing band, which featured producer James Ford as their drummer. Alex Turner & Miles Kane covered four songs throughout the evening; the Beatles' 'I Want You (She's So Heavy)', Nancy Sinatra and Lee Hazlewood's 'Paris Summer' (where they invited Ipso Facto's Rosalie Cunningham to perform a duet with Miles Kane), David Bowie's 'In The Heat of The Morning', and Leonard Cohen's 'Memories' (in which females members of the [...]
Monday: Born Ruffians + Plants and Animals @ Mercury Lounge 9:30pm $12 After a week of non-stop show going, drinking, and late nights I won't be hitting too many shows this week as I adjust back to my normal life, but for those of you that did not see 150 bands last week or did and still want more (the first step is admitting you have a problem!) then definitely check out these two solid bands
The Last Shadow Puppets se presentaron el pasado viernes dentro del Festival BBC Electric Proms , cuyo fin es crear nuevos momentos musicales al pedirle a sus participantes arreglos diferentes para sus canciones e incluso material totalmente inédito. Por esta razón el grupo no sólo tocó temas propios sino algunos covers , entre ellos una versión al tema "I Want You (She's so Heavy)" de The Beatles que aquí les dejamos en vídeo. La verdad el [...]
