Filed under: The Hit List Wintertime means cold weather and heavy snowfall for those of us in non-tropical climes, which is a mixed blessing. Sure, there's snowboarding and snowmen, but how does that help when your car is stuck in a snowdrift? More than a few artists have mined the rich metaphoric potential of winter in music videos, usually to melancholy and SAD effect (that's Seasonal Affective Disorder, by the way). Baby, it's cold outside, so read on for some frosty encouragement while you thaw out your fingers with a mug [...]
Året hvor det viste sig, at Vegas var det nye sort, i det mindste på min årsliste. Hvor min liste sidste år var fyldt med mindre/obskure albums, er der mere punch bag årets, og en række af disse albums vil med garanti dukke op på udenlandske lister, selvom de jo alle smukt undveg GAFFAs Top 20 . Der er også kommet en række virkelig gode danske skiver, så også en dansk top-5 herfra. Udenlandske: 1. Your Vegas: "A Town and Two Cities" 2. Glasvegas: "Glasvegas" 3. British Sea Power: "Do [...]
The Last Shadow Puppets is a project by Arctic Monkey Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane. Their new album The Age of the Understatement has been shortlisted for the 2008 Mercury Music Prize. This represents the third straight year Turner has been nominated (two previous Arctic Monkeys nominations). The Age of the Understatement is not for people expecting Arctic Monkeys light. Like any good side project, it sees the participants breaking from the styles they are traditionally known for and experimenting with something new. [...]
Fresh off last year's coronation of the Klaxons as the best band in Britain, this year's Mercury Prize nominations feature quite a range of popular music, from summer jam tournament runner-up Estelle to a few acts that will send you scurrying to Google. Here is the shortlist: Adele - 19 British Sea Power - Do You Like Rock Music? Burial - Untrue Elbow - The Seldom Seen Kid [...]
Jack White & Last Shadow Puppets @ Glastonbury - June 28, 2008 ( cred ) There had been rumours flying around Glastonbury that the Last Shadow Puppets would make a surprise appearance at some point during the three day event. The band, which is the side project of Alex Turner from the Arctic Monkeys and the Rascals' Miles Kane , performed on the Park Stage to a large crowd who had gathered in hope of their appearance. But fans got [...]
The side project of Alex Turner from Arctic Monkeys and Miles Kane from The Rascals adds drama and style to dreary London.
Instead of a side project of the Arctic Monkeys' frontman, the Last Shadow Puppets comes up as a labour of love for newly discovered influences.
Pierce However Alex Turner, apparently discontent with his first band-youve probably never heard of the Artcic Monkeys- decided it seems to move on to bigger and better things with his new duo "The Last Shadow Puppets". The album takes a a hard turn away from the stripped "here and now" garage scene and aims more at the proggy atmospheric sounds of yesteryears rock/pop. The Ennio Morricone channeling "Age of Understatement" proves one of Turners deepest and maybe best efforts to [...]
While I'm a good boy about keeping up with the pop singles chart, when it comes to classier, indie-oriented stuff I tend to focus on the familiar. Last night I hunkered down with Sun Kil Moon's April , The Gutter Twins' Saturnalia , and Portishead's Third , all great albums from artists who made their biggest impression well over a decade ago. So it's not a total surprise that I hadn't heard any of the five nominees for the Mojo Honours' Breakthrough Act Of 2008. But it gave me an excuse to get [...]
Release Date: 05.06.08 As the lights dim in the theater and the curtain starts to draw back, the orchestra begins to hum. The hum of the orchestra is brimming with anxious anticipation. Seated in the audience you can feel your muscles begin to tense. The only sure thing you know is that whatever happens next, it will be epic. Those are the feelings evoked when pressing play for the second time through the band's debut album. It's a grand-scale production for a cast of two (backed by big money and plenty of friends/connections [...]
O vocalista dos Arctic Monkeys, Alex Turner, anda a querer tornar-se o Damon Albarn nortenho e à sua maneira mostrar porque é que os Monkeys conseguem chegar a ser irritantes porque fazem boa música (além de serem os putos palermas que são, porque o são). Turner juntou-se a um outro miúdo chamado Miles Kane que prega numa outra banda chamada The Rascals (lançam em Junho o primeiro álbum, "Rascalize") e juntinhos criaram, em meia dúzia de meses, um projecto paralelo a quem intitularam The Last Shadow Puppets. O disco chega esta Segunda-Feira e chama-se "The Age of [...]

The Last Shadow Puppets Genre: Alternative / Indie / Pop From: United Kingdom If you haven't heard about The Last Shadow Puppets you're either a hermit or live in a hut in the Outer Hebrides. But for those hermits and Outer Hebridians out there let me recap. The Last Shadow Puppets are unrelated look-alikes Miles Kane (from The Rascals and previously of [...]

The Last Shadow Puppets is the brainchild of Arctic Monkeys' Alex Turner and The Rascals' Miles Kane. The duo has created a new album that is reminiscent of both Scott Walker and The Coral, and we love every minute of it. (It's nice to hear a less angular rock sound from them.) The first video is for the track with the same title as the album, and was directed by Romain Gavras. In it you'll see ice-skating, an Orthodox priest, Soviet tanks, Russian soldiers and the snow in Moscow. We can't wait for the full [...]

Il titolo del post avrebbe potuto essere "Brit pop goes to Russia" o un più classico "Back in the U.S.S.R.". Fatto sta che Alex Turner dei mai troppo sopravvalutati Arctic Monkeys e Miles Kane dei più modesti Rascals hanno unito le proprie forze in un interessante progetto, The Last Shadow Puppets . Il primo singolo, The Age of the Understatement è già in giro per le TV del settore e mescola un'intro epica in stile cartone animato giapponese, con tanto di crescendo di archi e percussioni, con vocalizzazioni tipicamente [...]
The Last Shadow Puppets are Alex Turner (from Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (from The Rascals). These pair were so inspired by listening to the likes of Scott Walker, early Bowie and David Axelrod, that they hatched a plan. The result is The Age Of The Understatement . This album will be out April 21st in the UK and May 6th in the US, it will be available on CD, vinyl & digital download. It includes 12 full-blooded songs, bold and brassy, full of drama, wit and melody, that source the past but avoid falling into [...]
