mileskane ANNOUNCEMENT 📣 new project baby 🏄‍♂️

Guys I'm so buzzing to tell you about my new side project - Miles Kane and The Evils💀 🌊

It's an all instrumental EP that I wrote and recorded with my boys @/david_bardon and @/sholtomusic that'll be exclusively released on @/recordstoreday (20th April) as a limited run in GREEN vinyl 🐢🦖🦎🐊

Surf guitar has been a passion of mine since day one. Hearing Dick Dale in Pulp Fiction for the first time as a kid blew my mind. I connected with the sound immediately. Even going back further as a kid hearing the Batman theme, the Pink Panther theme and James Bond, I was obsessed - I would listen over and over to those theme songs! When I was a teenager, I heard Link Wray for the first time, and it changed my life. I thought, 'that is the guitarist I wanna be-twang-whammy bar-reverb-tremolo!' That has been my guitar sound on every album I've made from The Little Flames to The Rascals to The Puppets and my solo albums! This surf mini album is me having my guitar front and centre imagining I'm in a cool badass Tarantino film.

I can't wait for you guys to hear it, go and grab a copy from your local record store on 20th April, you can find your nearest one from the @recordstoreday website, surf's up babyyyyy 🏄‍♂️ #rsd24

Cult of Cool , no.7 - Alex Turner.

[doctor-dusk]

𝐲𝐨𝐮'𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐫𝐤 | 𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐱 𝐭.

you and a certain riddler (eycte!alex) have some fun at a halloween party.

warnings: unprotected sex (piv), veeery soft dom!alex, i think that's it lol

word count: 4.6k

english is not my first language, so sorry if there are any grammatical errors. also this is my first smut posted here, i'm fucking nervous :v

‘’so, you think it will take a while for her to arrive?’’ 

alex heard miles' question sound far away as his eyes were fixed on the partially busy street. they were at the entrance to the hotel exactly ten minutes ago for a costume party, after all, it was halloween.

‘’perhaps. it wouldn't be her if she wasn't late, eh?’’ he replied, looking at his wristwatch and avoiding rubbing his eyes in frustration, as he didn't want to smudge the perfectly done eyeliner on the waterline of his eyes.

alex had planned this for over a month, not just because miles and other friends would be at this party, but because you would be there. well, at least that's what you told him three days ago, when he asked you for the umpteenth time if you were really going. turner knew you well enough to know that you could change your mind in the blink of an eye. you weren't the type to leave the house, so seeing you be anywhere other than your apartment was like a huge event that he really didn't want to miss.

‘’you can go ahead if you want. i'll wait ‘ere.’’ alex turned to kane when he saw him adjust the platinum wig on his head. he couldn't say exactly what miles' fantasy was, but he didn't think it was bad. it suited him.

‘’nah, i don't think it will be necessary.’’ miles pointed with his chin in the opposite direction, making alex turn his head. his eyes caught sight of the silver toyota prius arriving at the rotating parking lot. alex breathed a sigh of relief mixed with satisfaction when he knew it was you.

he didn’t look away for a second, not even when the valet came around the car to open the driver’s door so you could get out. he thought he forgot how he breathed when he saw you tiptoe out of the vehicle, wearing a strapless leather dress, highlighting even more your clavicle and well-defined shoulders; the black leather boots didn't shine any more than the chocker-style necklace wrapped around your neck subtly, not looking so tight; your voluminous hair was down, finished impeccably, and turner thought for a moment that was the reason you took your sweet time. as you approached as if you were parading on a catwalk, he noticed how the femme fatale makeup fit you like a glove, your entire face seemed more highlighted with the catty eyelashes.

he definitely couldn't stop looking at you. and he didn't even want to.

‘’what kind of fantasy is this, miles?’’ it was the first thing you asked after you handed over your car keys to the valet to park your car in a space in the underground parking lot. ‘’i don't know, a mix of elvis presley and niall horan?’’

‘’yeah, yeah, very funny.’’ miles forced a laugh without a hint of humor. ‘’this is art, okay? ric flair, better known as the nature boy.’’ he said, taking a walk while you let out a laugh. ‘’of course ya’ don't know, just want to know about lovecraft and allan poe.’’

‘’and what's wrong with that?’’ you rolled your eyes in amusement, then resting them on turner. his smile grew even wider when he saw you so close and so… tempting. you never thought you'd actually need to see turner wearing eyeliner until you saw it before your eyes. ‘’oh, and you must be…’’ you said, sliding your index finger over qlex's covered shoulder, making him smile.

‘’c’mon, darlin’. it shouldn't be that hard to know who i am.’’ alex extended his arms, also doing a little turn so that you could look at him up and down and caught your lip between your teeth just in time, before he could complete the turn and look back at you. ‘’what does a liar do when he’s dead?’’

‘’he lies still.’’ you replied immediately, seeing alex smile as he nodded. ‘’well, 's not bad, al. such a perfect riddler. better than a certain someone…’’ you mumbled under your breath as you gestured to miles, making turner hold back a laugh.

‘’yeah, just pretend i'm not here. bullying can be avoided, ya’ know?’’ he lightly pushed you by the shoulder, making you laugh. you couldn't help it, but you knew that deep down, it was all just a joke. you and miles got along very well, especially because you had been friends for a long time and it was through him that you met alex. it couldn't be better.

‘’c’mon, you know i love you, mi.’’ you hugged him over his shoulder, gently rubbing the palm of your hand on miles' chin, feeling his sparse beard tickle your open palm.

‘’okay, okay. and who are you, by the way?’’ he asked, now paying attention to your costume.

‘’neither do i know. something close to the characters in the books i read, a mix of dracula and… i don't know.’’ you said, shaking the vampire cape you wore. turner couldn't help but let an almost invisible smirk appear. he knew you would choose something like this, it was as if he knew you like the back of his hand.’’

‘’i liked it. ‘s just like you.’’ alex said, seeing you smile without showing your teeth, your cheeks flushed as the smile was still present on your face. ‘’looks like you’ve been flashin’ triple A passes at the cemetery gates.’’

‘’oh, here it comes. we don't have time for that, let's go ‘cause the night is young and it grows fast.’’ miles gestured in mock boredom, opening the way for you to enter. obviously you and alex followed him side by side, and alex didn't pass up the opportunity he had by wrapping his arm around your waist, resting his hand there. 

of course, you didn't stop feeling that ravenous shiver, even though you tried to hide it as best you could. you just loved alex's touch on any area of your body. literally any area.

‘’thought you weren't going to come.’’ alex whispered in your ear, even though the room was filled with loud music, you were able to hear and smile.

‘’i thought about giving up, you know me. i hate leaving the my cave.’’ you laughed through your nose, looking at him. alex awakened something inexplicable in you, even more now. the clothes, the hair, the makeup, the way his jaw was so marked as if it could cut diamonds, the eyes marked by eyeliner seemed more enigmatic even in the partially lit environment, the mouth that seemed to invite you for a kiss in a hidden corner... all of that was capable of taking away what little sanity you had left and making you insane, even if you hadn't drunk a drop of alcohol until that moment.

‘’oh, sweetheart, you would break me heart if you didn't come.’’ turner pouted amidst his slurred voice, letting his thumb run up and down your waist, giving you an almost imperceptible caress. you held your breath subtly, trying not to lose your self-control.

but in front of alex turner, you had anything but self-control.

‘’it's not like you won't have fun here without me.’’ you joked, taking a drink from the waiter who passed by, serving drinks on a golden tray. the party was packed, more than expected. miles had already gotten lost in the crowd, not that you cared about that. you’re fine just in each other's company.’’

‘’it wouldn't be that funny, love.’’ alex laughed, letting his nose run over your bare shoulder, feeling the fragrance of your perfume invade his nostrils, absorbing a smile that was impossible to hide. ‘’you and your mysterious energy like someone with an unkind of ravens and murder of crows fascinate me. i couldn't do without you ‘ere.’’ he finished, taking some of his drink to try. his throat burned with the first sip, but nothing he wasn't used to.

‘’me and my mysterious energy? this one is new.’’ — you raised an eyebrow, a little curious. alex couldn't explain exactly what caught his attention.

he knew that you were kinda different from the other girls he had ever met. fascinated by lovecraft and edgar allan poe, further denoting your small obsession with death. your favorite films were horror films, especially the italian kind. you could spend hours and hours listening to the soundtracks while driving your prius through the city streets in your dark leather clothes, living your life the way you wanted.

he loved your authenticity. you weren't afraid or ashamed to be like this. maybe that was what excited him so much that he wanted you so bad.

alex laughed instead of giving you an answer, pulling you onto the dance floor. at one point, they met up with miles and other mutual friends, you drank, had fun listening to some music from the 80s. you felt free to do whatever you wanted as the drink got more to your heads and the zeros lined up on the clock.

in fact, you don't usually go to these places, you'd much rather be at home under the covers and in the company of a good book. but when you were with alex and miles, everything seemed to get better. or more specifically, when you were with alex. even though he was completely the opposite of you, turner was seen as a kind of magnet, impossible to ignore, especially when you had already taken enough shots to lose track of each other and the sexual tension increased with each exchange of glances.

little did you know that even though he wasn't your type, alex was completely willing to try something.

‘’what do you think we get out of ‘ere, baby?’’ you heard alex's voice drawl when he brought his mouth to your ear. you thought he did it on purpose, just to make every hair on your body stand on end. and well, it really was on purpose.

‘’where?’’ you asked, wrapping your arms around his neck, feeling him closer. turner looked around for a moment, trying to adjust his blurry vision. you could go to any room in that hotel, but he had a better idea in mind.

‘’your car.’’ he suggested. you gave a roguish smile, finishing your drink in one gulp. oh, you knew exactly where this would take them, and there was no way you were going to back down now. not when turner is absurdly irresistible and you're in an overwhelming mood.

‘’what about miles?’’ you dared to ask, looking over his shoulder, seeing your friend dancing as if there was no tomorrow, not caring about the two of you there.

‘’don't give a shit about him right now.’’ turner said, tilting his face a little to give you a soft kiss without using his tongue, already being able to awaken even more that insane desire in both you and himself. ‘’just want you, darlin’.’’ he finished in a whisper, biting your bottom lip.

you didn't need to respond any further, leading the way immediately, passing through the euphoric and drunk bodies, gripping alex's hand who was following right behind you, also eager to get out of there as soon as possible. you got your car keys from reception, and soon the two of you were heading to the parking lot, stopping to exchange some caresses that you thought were urgent since you couldn't do it while walking.’’

‘’oh, i love this car.’’ alex comments in an ecstatic sigh, letting his hand slide over the sparkling silver bodywork of the trunk of your toyota prius.

‘’more than me?’’ you asked, leaning your body against the warm hood of the car, practically lying on it. alex watched the scene in slow motion with a roguish smile. and for him it was impossible not to walk towards you, leaving your bodies almost glued together, his hands were firm on your waist while he used one of his legs to create a small space between your legs.

‘’no, no more than you, honey.’’ he replied in a purr, his thirsty lips trailed across your chin in a drawn-out kiss, making you gasp as you felt the light pressure of his kiss on your neck.

soon enough, the kisses on your neck stopped when you felt the need to feel his lips crushing yours, becoming as urgent as the touches on his neck and waist, bringing him closer to you, his sneaky hands moved down to lift the skirt of your dress so that you felt freer to open your legs a little more and he could be in the middle, pressing more against you. the rough kiss had an alcoholic taste, not that you minded that, in fact, it made everything even more delicious when mixed with the heavy breathing and racing hearts.

‘’fuck, you're so…’’ he murmured amid the kiss, feeling your hands loosening the black tie he was wearing around his neck. even though he was a musical genius, words always seemed to escape him when it came to you. and you loved it.

‘’so…?’’ you laughed, biting his lip softly before turning your face away to look around. you didn't know if anyone was nearby or if there were cameras in that parking lot. but deep down, you both loved that adrenaline.

‘’so dark. but i want you hard.’’ he said, grabbing your face by the chin and forcing you to look at him. his hair that was previously combed back was messy, and that made him even sexier in your opinion. ‘’so hard…’’ he repeated as he kissed you again, as if somehow he couldn't live without feeling your mouth against his and your tongues tangling briefly.

‘’how much? do you have a percentage?’’ you teased him as you felt his hands squeeze the warm skin of your thighs, sliding a little lower. every touch and sensation was so electrifying that any little thing could make you even more aroused.

‘’fuck the percentage, i want you so much. so fuckin’ much.’’ he laughed, dragging his slightly drunken voice. you laughed too, you liked that it was always in moments like this that you managed to get a hearty laugh out of each other, and so soon you were in the backseat of your car.

within moments, you were sitting on his lap, feeling his hands on your back and the cold breeze from the air conditioning on. turner relaxed his body against the back of the backseat, wrapping one hand around your waist while the other pressed the back of your head as you trailed kisses on his neck. he gasped with each touch, each time he felt your tongue snake up his neck to his earlobe while your hands had the agile job of unbuttoning his shirt and getting rid of his belt.

you had an immense desire for each other, and every second seemed to increase your desire even more, especially when you kissed him again, so deeply that you lost your breath, even more so when you moved your hips in his lap, feeling him pant against your mouth.

you quickly unzipped alex's pants, sliding them down enough with his help as he lifted his hips so that you had an easier time taking off not only his pants but also his boxers, revealing his throbbing erection pulling out of his confines.

you give a smirk, not hesitating to place your right hand there, causing a drawn out sigh from him. your touch was all that he needed, he was craving it for such a long fucking time.

‘’i’m not going to lie, it's the first time i've done this in a car.’’ he said, still panting as he felt your hand slide up and down his cock, seeing you sit a little below his belly so that his leaking tip gently brushed against your belly. you were stroking him so deliciously slow, making him clench his fists in anticipation.

‘’same, i don't even know if this will work.’’ you laughed softly, feeling alex’s hands lower the top of your dress a little just to see the sight of your breasts exposed in front of him, leaving him more aroused than he could have imagined.

‘’let’s make it work, love.’’ he replied, moving his hand to your panties, not feeling the need to take them off, just using his index and middle fingers to form a hook and pull them to the side, leaving them free so he could test the waters a little, teasing you just like you did to him. ‘’oh, you’re so wet, baby.’’ he smirked, using his thumb to ghost over your clit, his touch was as light as a feather, and it was torturous for you. ‘’we didn't do anything and you're already soaked, eh?’’

‘’and it’s all your fault.’’ you grumbled, pressing your thumb on his fat tip, spreading the precum all over his throbbing cock. he let out a growl, he wish he could eat you out until you’re screaming his name and your moans echo throughout the parking lot, but he was kinda desperate to feel you around him.

''lift your hips, babe. need to feel you.'' he commanded, still holding your panties firmly to the side with the hook he formed with his fingers.

you obeyed immediately, raising your hips a little, rubbing his tip through your folds, spreading your wetness over it, closing your eyes as you sink down on him, feeling him bury his cock completely inside of you, throwing your body back a little, placing both of your hands on his knees while he helped you move by putting one hand on your waist and the other were still occupied holding your panties to the side.

your movements were slow, lifting your hips up and bringing them down again, making alex have the privilege of seeing his cock coming out almost completely to the point of seeing his tip out and then disappearing completely inside of you, your walls feeling like home for him. and you did this with such precision, increasing the pace a little more with each bounce, both of you panting with each firm thrust.

‘’f-fuck, al, feels so fuckin’ g-good…’’ you barely have the voice to whisper in his ear when you lean your body towards him, making him place one of his hands on your lower back. alex kissed your neck, already free from the necklace when you took it off earlier, leaving a trail of saliva with his tongue until he reached your jawline.

‘’you feel so fucking good, darling. so tight…’’ alex hummed, satisfied with the feeling of your tits against his chest, your hard nipples poking his skin. ‘’you ‘ave no idea how much i want you on all fours right now.’’ he said, sucking the air tightly between his teeth, his hand moved to give you a hard slap on your left buttock, making a noise that would certainly echo through the room if you were in one.

‘’let’s make it work, love.’’ you repeated his line, seeing him smile as he caught his lower lip between his teeth as he caught one last glimpse of you above him. you had an idea, knowing that you could fold down the backseat, doing so by pressing the small latch in the corner of the car, folding the seat down and creating more space.

now you were able to reverse positions, and soon you were on all fours towards him, letting your ass up so that he could take you from behind. the car was silent, you only heard the sound of his breathing and your own breathing before you felt him pulling down your panties until it reached your bent knees, your hole were clenching around nothing, feeling so empty without him, but soon this emptiness were filled when he entered you again with no warming, making you gasp.

his hands grabbed your waist after traveling a path along your thighs and buttocks, respectively, feeling your skin shivering at his touch. you pressed the upholstery of the seat with one hand while the other was leaning against the window. whoever was passing by could easily see the prints of your fingers and palm because of the air conditioning on. 

even though the pace was slow at first, you couldn't help but roll your eyes at the delicious sensation of feeling him fucking you so deep , his tip kissing your cervix repeatedly, even more so when he held your shoulder, making you lift your head a little and feel his warm and alcoholic breath hitting your hair as he leaned his body a little more over yours.

turner had a smile on his lips, he liked the sight of having you in all fours at him, and even more so when you were so lubricated that it was even slippery, he could pull out his entire cock and bottoms out with such ease and did it several times, not only because it is extremely pleasurable for him, but also for you. 

he loved seeing you so cockdrunked, he love to see you arch your back as you contorted your body whenever he hit your g-spot to the point that it made you feel a small twinge, just like a cramp.

‘’oh, fuck, alex.’’ you growled, grabbing his wrist, making him look at you while you turned your head enough to look him in the eyes. you had bright eyes, a flushed face, your lipstick was completely smudged and your chest was rising and falling with heavy breathing.

‘’yeah?’’ he asked cynically, leaning his body more to leave a small kiss on your shoulder, watching you struggle to reach his lips to try to give him a kiss.

‘’are you sure i'm the dark one around here?’’ you mumbled, and alex gave another smile. he knew you wanted more. he might as well make you beg for it, he liked being in control, and that turned him on even more.

‘’shh, you are very impatient.’’ he tilted his body more so he could kiss you while he remained still inside you, then returning to his starting position to continue thrusting slowly for a few more seconds, just for fun.

he kept his eyes closed, feeling his adam's apple throb and even though he tried to ignore it, he couldn't help but respond to your requests for more. the position made the penetration deeper and, when he realized that you were more comfortable and wiggling your ass to match his pace, he sank his fingers into your hips as he began to thrust harder.

there was a moment when you didn't know which was louder, whether it was their moans or the sound of his hips bumping against your ass, and turner didn't hesitate to close his fist around your hair, making you roll your eyes under your eyelids, needing just a few more thrusts so he could notice your arms failing to keep you fully on all fours, announcing the arrival of a orgasm.

alex wraps his arm around your waist, his palm resting on your belly, making you partially kneel while he is pounding hard, just to hear you moan his name madly, feeling your nails scratch his arms wrapped around your torso. 

his other hand roamed to your front, moving down so his middle and ring finger could rub your clit tirelessly, making your knees even weaker as you grabbed his hair for your dear life. you're just a babbling mess, and he liked the effect he had on you.

‘’what’s the matter? you wanted it hard, so you’re fucking getting it.’’ he growled, biting your shoulder as you gasped for air, your cunt was clenching hard around him, you’re really close.

‘’fuck, fuck, fuck, alex, ‘m gonna cum, please…’’ you moaned breathlessly, feeling his fingers keeping its ministrations on your sensitive bud.

‘’mhmm, that’s right, baby, cum for me.’’ he encouraged you, and you just loved it when he talked to you like that, and it didn't take long for you to cum on his cock, he kept fucking you through your orgasm just to prolong this overwhelming feeling.

and of course, it didn't take him long to follow suit, letting go of everything he was fighting to hold back just for the feeling of pleasure to linger, his hot load coated your walls, filling you up so good. soon he was breathing deeply as he tried to adjust his blurred vision, his grip on you still tight.

he let his limp body fall onto the bench, seeing that you did the same. now you’re concentrated on regulating your own breathing. you had a smile on your face, running your tongue over your lips as if you couldn't believe what just happened.

his half closed eyes still captured the moment when you reached the dashboard only to turn off the air conditioning and open the glove compartment, taking out a cigarette pack and a black lighter. every movement you made was slow, from the moment you brought the unlit cigarette to your full lips until the moment you took the first drag, blowing the smoke outside through the small crack in the window you opened.

‘’why are you looking at me like that?’’ you asked curiously, your bent legs swinging from side to side in a distracted way. turner shook his head, taking a drag on the cigarette you offered him next.

‘’i just like looking at you.’’ he replied after releasing smoke from his mouth. you both stayed in a comfortable silence for a while longer, just looking at each other and enjoying what you had. and you wouldn't trade it for anything. ‘’we should do this again.’’

‘’maybe in a bigger car.’’ you added, looking inside your prius before taking another drag, taking your hand to the outside of the car to get rid of the cigarette ashes. ‘’but I really want to do it again. not here.’’ you raised one of your eyebrows, sliding your foot over turner's bare and sweaty chest, letting him know that you weren't satisfied with just this quickie. and he wasn't either. he would never get tired of doing this to you wherever he went.

‘’my place or yours?’’ he asked with a smirk, seeing you shrug your  shoulders. 

‘’odds and evens?’’ you asked and alex laughed.

‘’fair enough. evens.’’ he responded by closing his hand and you did the same, and they soon showed the chosen numbers. alex showed one finger and you showed two.

‘’guess i won this one.’’ you giggled, touching the tip of his nose, implying that you were going to your apartment. and then, they were putting back your clothes and getting ready to leave the parking lot in the car.

‘’are we really going to leave miles ‘ere?’’ he asked, laughing as he combed his hair with his fingers. you laughed, nodding.

‘’miles knows how to manage without us for a night.’’ you replied, allowing yourself to speed up the car as you left the hotel, moving further and further away. ‘’i just know that i want you so hard.’’

‘’how much? do you have a percentage?’’ alex asked, hearing your hearty laugh echo through the car while the wind that came through the window ruffled your hair and made you more graceful.

‘’fuck the percentage, i want you so much. so fuckin’ much.’’

alex laughed, being quick enough to steal a peck from you as you took you both to your apartment or wherever. alex didn't care about having a certain destiny as long as he was with you.

after that, all you saw before your sparkling eyes while you both were inside the prius was an empty avenue on a halloween night in los angeles.

Rare Arctic Monkeys performances

This is a nerdy little collection of performances of songs that I’ve not seen a lot or simply find interesting. I adore finding all the little trivia and details for myself, so I thought others might like to see as well.

Maybe they’re not all “that rare” but most were fairly new to me :))

** I’ll add more when I stumble upon it **

Here we go.

(I put it under Keep Reading because it was getting too long)

 Da Frame 2R

They did this performance at Paradise Rock Club, Boston during the American leg of their Humbug tour in 2009.

A really cool and quite “punky” and heavy live performance of this bonus track. They’ve performed it a few times in 2007 as well as 2009.

 Put Me In A Terror Pocket

This performance is from their concert at Heineken Music Hall, Amsterdam in December 2007.

They premiered it as a “a new song”, rumoured to become a B-side, and they played it a handful of times during their tour in 2007. First recording of the song is from November. 

The song remains unreleased and some people are saying they ditched this song and did the cover of Nick Caves’ “Red Right Hand” instead.

Here is another version with better audio but without video, from Alexandra Palace in London.

 Lipstick Vogue (Elvis Costello cover)

They did the cover during a concert at Les Nuits de Fourvière in France during the TBHC tour in July 2018.

They dedicated the cover to the man himself. Alex introduced the performance by saying “get well soon” as Elvis Costello was battling cancer at the time. 

 Walk on the Wild Side (Lou Reed cover)

This cover is from a concert at Echo Arena in Liverpool during the AM tour in October 2013.

Lou Reed had passed away the day before and they performed this cover as a tribute.

They performed alongside Bill Ryder-Jones from the Coral.

 You & I (With Richard Hawley)

This performance is from their iconic 100th show of their SIAS tour.

They played it with Richard Hawley at L’Olympia Bruno Coquatrix, Paris in France in February 2012.

This concert also featured performances of Little Illusion Machine (Wirral Riddler) and 505 with Miles Kane.

They’ve only performed this badass tune once, at least as far as I’m aware. (Not that rare but deserves a spot!)

 The Union Forever (The White Stripes cover)

They performed this cover at Masonic Temple Theater in Detroit, Michigan on their TBHC tour in August 2018.

They played the cover as a tribute to the band, as The White Stripes were formed in Michigan. Alex called the performance “a little Detroit special”.

 Is This It (The Strokes cover)

They covered this iconic song at Forest Hills Stadium, New York during the American leg of their TBHC tour in July 2018.

Similar to the one above they played this cover as a tribute to the band as New York is the hometown of the Strokes.

(Bonus: This was one of the first concerts since Alex shaved his head.)

 Reptilia (The Strokes cover)

This performance is from Madame Jojo’s, London in January 2008.

It doesn’t feature the band, but a supergroup of indie musicians gathered for one night under the name The Pun Lovin’ Criminals. 

They performed an array of indie rock covers and Alex joined at the end of the set, ending the show with this fun and unpolished cover of Reptilia.

The group included Dev Hynes, Joe Edwards from the Rascals and Victoria Smith, Miles’ current drummer. Plus Alex on guitar and lead vocal.

They prefaced the performance by saying “none of this has been practiced” and Alex came on stage bleeding after hitting his head on the door on his way up there.

 One of the earliest filmed performances

This performance is at The Barfly, Glasgow in from March 2005. 

This concert is one of the band’s earliest performances caught on tape. Before they released their first EP. The video features most of the songs performed that night.

It features the first known performances of several songs from their debut album, including Mardy Bum, The View From the Afternoon and From The Ritz To the Rubble.

Another video of the same night.

 Hollywood Hopeful (Loudon Wainwright III cover)

This performance is from Staples Center, LA during their American leg of the AM tour, played in August 2014.

Alex sang acapella and covered part of Loudon’s beautiful song as an intro to I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor.

This video shows more of the transition into IBYLGOTD.

 All My Loving (Beatles Cover)

This cover is fairly famous but it’s so bloody good I had to include it.

This performance is from Madison Square Garden, New York during the American leg of the AM tour in February 2014.

They performed the cover twice, this and one the day before at The State Theater in Portland, both times alongside Miles Kane.

Alex prefaced the performances by saying it had been almost 50 years to the day since the Beatles first played on the extremely famous Ed Sullivan show and “broke” America.

 - (Stephen Fretwell Cover)

The song itself it not rare, as it is featured on Spotify as part of the session the band did for them in 2018.

The video was however shared mainly on director Ben Chappell’s website, therefore not quite as easily located.

The performance was done at Electric Lady Studios, New York and released in September 2018.

(Bonus: Stephen Fretwell played bass on the first TLSP tour.)

 Rockafeller Skank (Fatboy Slim cover)

This is from the very first Arctic Monkeys show at the Grapes in Sheffield, June 2003.

They played a short set, and performed part of this song as a fun addition to their performance of Curtains Closed. They also played Ravey Ravey Club and a few cover songs. Alex’s voice is quite different here and he is purposefully trying not use his own accent. Alex has said that this night was the first time he ever stepped on a stage.

A longer audio from the gig can be heard here.

  Live at Peter & Debora's Living Room

This show is one of the earliest performances of 2005, done in January.

One of not that many complete audios from that time.

It seems to be a quite informal setting. A small audience with Alex taking song suggestions, saying they can’t do Choo Choo and interrupting a song to yell “it’s fucking hot in here!”. People are saying Matt only had a ride cymbal, snare and cowbell for the performance.

The set includes the only known live recording of the song 7.

Alex said about the song: “This is like a new song and nobody will know it but we’ll play it anyway. We played this gig in Nottingham, and then there [..] was this lass, so I went- but then she'd gone and stuff, it’s a bit of a shit thing to write a song about now in reflection but it’s called- it’s called 7.”

  Drunk on the Moon (Tom Waits Cover)

This is from the concert at 3Arena, Dublin in Ireland on the TBHC tour in September 2018.

This is a short acappella version of Alex singing Drunk on the Moon before performing One Point Perspective.

He also included the cover at their performance before playing Arabella in Houston a month later in October 2018.

 Mad Sounds

This performance is from their concert at Hollywood Bowl during the American leg of their TBHC tour in October 2018.

A few days prior at their show in Houston they performed Mad Sounds for the first time during TBHC and on top of that the first time since 2013. This concert is just a few days later and shows the arrangement.

The audience all had their flashlights out and made a beautiful atmosphere.

 Despair In The Departure Lounge

This is from their concert at the Great American Music Hall, San Francisco in March 2006.

Alex performed the song solo after Andy experienced problems with his bass during the previous song. Alex performed the track while technicians fixed the issue.

This is, to my knowledge, the first and only time this song has been played live and was completely unknown at the time.

 Alexandra Palace, London (Full show)

This show took place at Alexandra Palace in London during the Favourite Worst Nightmare tour in August 2007.

This concert took place about a month after they headlined Glastonbury and features rare gems such a Plastic Tramp with Miles Kane, Put Me In Your Terror Pocket, Nettles and Da Frame 2R.

It also features the only known performance of Temptation Greets You Like Your Naughty Friend, aside from Glastonbury.

Dizzee is featured of course.

 Fake Tales Of San Francisco

This performance is from when Arctic Monkeys were on the NME Tour in January and February in 2006.

The tour ran for 18 dates across England, Ireland and Scotland.

Maxïmo Park were the headliners, though there was speculation that AM should have been the headliners, as most fans would come to see them, but that they turned it down.

In this particular performance they are joined by Keith Murray from We Are Scientists, who were also on the tour and friends of the band. Keith has previously been in an acceptance video from the Brits 2006 and on stage to accept an award with them at the NME Awards 2006. 

It’s a truly excellent performance and Alex has great chemistry with Keith, who he shares the mic with at one point.

 R U Mine?

This performance is from the show at Joe Louis Arena in Detroit, Michigan on March 3rd 2012 (thanks for the birthday gift boys!).

This was during the tour in America where they opened for the Black Keys.

This is the first time ever they played R U Mine?

Alex prefaced the performance by saying: “This is a new tune, we’ve never played this before. Fucking check this shit out!“

 When The Sun Goes Down

This is a snippet of their performance at Reading Festival in 2005.

They were booked in the Carling Tent, which is not very big. It was called a misjudgment in terms of placement as the tent was completely packed and people couldn’t get in because so many people wanted to see them. Some say that more people turned up at their gig than the headliners’. And some say that this is the gig that made them “superstars”.

They went on to headline a year later. 

Alex said during the performance: “Anyone who wants to say a bad word about Arctic Monkeys can have some of that. Whether you’re outside or inside now is the time. Let’s have it!“

It was supposedly filmed by Rob Nicholson, Andy’s brother.

 The View From The Afternoon

This is a very short clip from their gig at The Plug, Sheffield in October 2005.

During this gig they supposedly premiered Leave Before The Lights Come on.

The gig was widely praised as a “point in history”, it was completely packed and everyone knew every single word to all songs, even though they hadn’t even released the songs yet.

Alex reportedly said during the performance: “Thanks to everyone who was there at the beginning”.

It showed the band’s growth as performers, showcased their hard work of playing endless gigs during the early days of the band.

 No Buses

This performance is from the session the band did with MTV in March or April 2006.

Not quite a rare, but a very significant performance.

This is the first and only performance of the song, except for the odd acoustic version. 

The session is also one of the last performances with Andy on bass.

There is also an interview from the session which mostly features Matt talking. It was done one year after they got signed.

 The Hellcat Spangled Shalalala

This performance is at The Observatory North Park, San Diego, California. The first show of the TBHC tour in May 2018.

This was the premiere of the new arrangement of the song and the first time it was played since 2013.

There are other videos of this arrangement, but this was the first night they performed it, and there was a strict no-video policy.

Only Ones Who Know (With Richard Hawley)

This is not a rare. Bu it is extremely wonderful none the less.

This performance is from Richard Hawley’s concert at Union Chapel in November 2009.

The concert was a charity event titled The Little Noise Sessions.

Alex made a surprise guest appearance during Richard’s set. Here is another video of the same performance. Richard famously introduced Alex as “the original lounge lizard himself.”

Along with a few other artists Alex played a surprise acoustic set, accompanied by John Ashton on keys and Jamie for a few songs (Cornerstone and Secret Door). This night was the first time Joining The Dots was performed and there are rumours he also performed Glass In The Park (from the Submarine soundtrack) the first and only time. 

He reportedly also played a few covers, including the first performance of Dion’s Only You Know (which he has covered on multiple occasions) and a one time performance of I Don’t Want To Set The World On Fire by The Ink Spots.

Vertigo (With Mini Mansions)

This performance is from Mini Mansions’ opening set before the Arctic Monkeys concert at Red Rocks, Colorado in September 2014.

They also performed it at the concert at Comerica Theatre, Phoenix in October 2014.

It was the live premiere of the song, which was released in March 2015 on Mini Mansions’ album The Great Pretenders.

Alex is featured on one verse on the track. 

Zach Dawes and Tyler Parkford, who has toured with both The Last Shadow Puppets and Arctic Monkeys, are part of Mini Mansions along with Michael Shuman from Queens Of The Stone Age.

Alex also appeared in the music video for the track, and has made several live appearances as well.

Including this televised performance a few days after the release of the album.

This performance in October 2015.

And my personal favourite from July 2015.

The latest was in October 2018.

Performance at Cavern Club

This snippet shows a gig they played at the Cavern Club in Liverpool in October 2005.

The gig was the first night of the WPSIATWIN tour and was set one week before they released their first single. 

The video features bits of I Bet You Look Good On The Dancefloor, Dancing Shoes, A Certain Romance and Mardy Bum, which has a slightly different arrangement.

Here is another snippet of the same night during When The Sun Goes Down.

Beneath The Boardwalk 

This snippet is from their gig at The Boardwalk, Sheffield in May 2005.

The video includes a collection of a few different clips from the night and shows large part of the setlist.

They’ve played several shows at this venue and it has since given its name to the now famous demo collection from 2004, that was shared on MySpace back in the day. They played their second ever gig at this venue in 2003 and Alex used to work there as a bartender. He heard John Cooper Clarke there for the first time as well. 

Apparently this was the last show they did at this venue before it closed down.

Reportedly this was the first night Miles Kane and Alex met.

Red Lights Indicate Doors Are Secured

This performance is from their gig at Head of Steam, Newcastle in March 2005.

The venue is quite small and the gig is pretty intimate. A good indication of what most of their gigs at this time were like. The video shows a rare view from the first row.

This is the first known performance of the song, and it features slight changes to the version they played later on.

This is a performance of Bigger Boys And Stolen Sweethearts from the same night.

This is From The Ritz To The Rubble from the same night (under the name Sunday Song as it was known back then).

And finally a short video of When The Sun Goes Down (Scummy) from the same gig.

Sketchead

This performance is from their concert at Fox Theater, Oakland during the Humbug tour in September 2009.

This is the first known live performance of the song, and it was released on the Cornerstone EP in November 2009.

Alex prefaces the song by saying: “We’re gonna play a song all about a man who’s presence alone would greatly unnerve any of you. And he’s not alone, there’s many of him around. He might have a ponytail but it’s certainly not a requirement and you know when he’s coming towards you [...] The person I’m talking about- we’ve decided to title it Sketchead with one h, and this is Sketchead’s theme.”

Catapult

This performance is from their concert at House of Blues, Boston during the Humbug tour in December 2009.

This is the first known live performance of Catapult, released on the Cornerstone EP in November 2009.

Alex has said about the song that it is a "relative” of The Jeweller’s Hand and that they’re sort of about the same thing, the same character: “This figure of wisdom that was sort of superior to his peers or anyone he kinda encountered.”

Leave Before The Lights Come On

This performance is from their show at Highline Ballroom, New York during the Humbug tour in August 2009.

This is the last known performance of Leave Before The Lights Come On.

They performed the track a couple of times during this tour, a few early in the year and a couple during the summer, before retiring the track after this performance.

During the performance Alex holds up a sign saying ‘French fan club John Ashton’.

At the end the audience starts chanting the ‘I’ll walk you up, what time’s the bus come?’ line and Alex laughingly says "Thank you, thank you. That wont be necessary, I'll walk there alone. Thank you!"

Leave Before The Lights Come On

Coincidentally I stumbled upon this straight after the one above.

Alex introduces it as “a new song”, although there are indicators that they actually performed the song earlier in their career at The Plug, Sheffield in October 2005. (See earlier entry).

The size of the stage plus the fact that there are American accents to be heard in the crowd more likely dates this somewhere in March 2006, when they did a few shows in America, before heading back there for the American leg of their tour in May. No idea why Alex called the song new, except for the fact that perhaps they hadn’t performed it in America before.

It is one of the few performances of the song featuring Andy on bass, as he took a break from the band in May and was permanently replaced by Nick in June. The song was released in August 2006 with Nick credited on the recording.

The Rascals featuring Alex Turner

This is a little bonus entry.

Alex Turner joined Miles Kane and his band The Rascals for a one off performance of their song Is It Too Late? at Wireless Festival in July 2008.

The clip is just a snippet of the performance, but it features Alex playing guitar alongside Miles and singing the second verse of the song.

This is my Young Justice fan casting that I wanted to release as part of the Arrowverse. There could be a TimKon fic that includes all of these actors as visuals--I’d be thrilled to see them as such.  I imagine this set in some sort of amalgamation of all three major DC universes: New Earth post-Crisis, New 52, and Rebirth, as Arrowverse already is.  They’d be older like the new comics of course, too, mostly established unlike Titans on DC Universe (which is where I’d prefer this save for some inhibitors).  My personal favorable casting choices are for Batman, Orphan, and Lynx, and I love the picks for Red Hood, Superboy, and most of all Red Robin.  How did I not put Ian Nelson together as Superboy already (what with Hoechlin officially being Superman and the Derek Hale connection)?  He’s got the looks, the body, and damn that smile.  And Keidrich--the brainy Henry Jennings in The Americans--ugh as soon as it hit me I was done.  Those two inspired this casting creation.

*Edit: Added Damian and Jon for the hell of it (have pretty much the rest of the Bat and Super family).

2018 Year End List

Normally I would have a whole list of albums, EP's, with box sets and reissues, mentioning the best songs and adding additional info. This year I did not feel like listening to a lot of new music. I realised there’s too much great music from the past to discover, and there are too many new releases that I’m never going to play ever again after half a year. There’s "email bankruptcy", but in this case it was some kind of "new music bankruptcy" early in the year. Add a mega release like the Arctic Monkeys album, with tens of hours of layers to discover, and there’s not much time left. Yet I still managed to explore quite a few new albums from this year. So this is it.

1. Arctic Monkeys - Tranquility Base Hotel & Casino

Key tracks: 'Star Treatment', 'Four Out Of Five', 'One Point Perspective', 'American Sports', 'Batphone', 'Golden Trunks' 2.

Miles Kane - Coup De Grace Key tracks: 'Too Little Too Late', 'Killing The Joke', 'Loaded', 'Shavambacu' 5.

Eugene McGuinness - Suburban Gothic Key tracks: 'Start At The Stop', 'With Words', 'Subterranean' 7. Unknown Mortal Orchestra - Sex & Food Key tracks: 'Hunnybee', 'American Guilt', 'Everyone Acts Crazy Nowadays' 8. Alex Calder - Alex Calder * Key tracks: 'Operator', 'Morning Ritual', 'Slowing Down' 9. MGMT - Little Dark Age Key tracks: 'Little Dark Age', 'Days That Got Away', 'Hand It Over' 10.
