#milex interview

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

ways journalists have really described alex turner and miles kane:

"Wearing matching outfits, gazing into each other's eyes, talking about their instant connection… Alex and Miles' claims that they wrote the Shadow Puppets' album about 'a girl' weren't fooling anyone. Quite simply Alex and Miles are hopelessly, madly, enviably in love with each other. Please lads, just be true to yourselves, embrace your feelings, and have a massive snog - we can't bear the tension any more."    - NME

“If there’s one sexual dynamic at work tonight at the Usher Hall, it’s homoeroticism. The Last Brokeback Mountaineers are a camp pair of strutting cocks, to be sure.”  - The Wee Review

"Speaking to them together feels like interrupting a conversation that's been going on since 2005." - NME

“Looking over at his manspreading counterpart, Kane gleefully points at Turner’s exposed bulge. Not wanting to be rude, I look away.” - SPIN

“Watching them finish each others’ sentences, agonise over their answers to how well they know each other and embrace when it’s time to leave... well, you’d need a heart made of Hoosiers CDs not to find it incredibly sickly sweet.” - NME

“Alex Turner and Miles Kane turn towards each other with fond looks when we suggest they’re best friends. Like doodle in each other’s notebooks BFF status. After spending 15 minutes with them though, we’re pretty convinced they’re going to grow old together in matching tracksuits.” - Sidewalk Hustle

“Miles Kane looks like he’s gagging for a great big man-hug (and maybe more...) off his buddy. These two have spent overly long admiring themselves and each other.” -  The Wee Review

“As soon as I decide to just get started without Kane, Turner accidentally Facetimes him from his pocket, and the two erupt into a fit of giggles, our conversation veering off course for the third time in as many minutes.” - Consequence

“While Turner stares on the ground during his answers, Kane watches him like a lovestruck teenager from the side.” - Musikexpress

“Say this for Lennon and McCartney, or Plant and Page: they never had their own romantic rock ‘n’ roll portmanteau. But “Milex”—Miles Kane and Alex Turner, for the uninitiated—have just that enviable kind of bromance. The two even moved to Los Angeles in tandem a few years ago. No wonder multiple “Milex” pages have cropped up on Tumblr, breathlessly re-posting the duo’s every embrace and droll quip; there is fan fiction, too, the kind that would make a coal miner blush.” - Interview Magazine

'"Alex Turner is like a princess in need of his prince Miles's assistance to get down from a tower." - Dutch Review

"You'd be forgiven for barely noticing anything beyond the front of the stage, though. Like a pair of teenagers egging each other on, Turner and Kane are the most infatuated frontmen since the Pete Doherty and Carl Barat." - Hot Press

"If Miles Kane had a 'hard on' for being a front-man before The Last Shadow Puppets, he's grabbed the opportunity Turner's patronage presented him with both hands. So to speak." - Q Magazine

"The feeling is contagious too, as though we're looking in on star-crossed lovers finally reunited." - Hot Press

Im probably the only one that never heard about this interview but OMG😭

« The third part of the trilogy will be released in a few years » 

Whats is next for miles and alex ? A lot of concerts, with a passage already sold out at the Olympia the 29 of march. "The third part of the trilogy will be released in a few years", says Alex Turner. Will We have to wait another eight years to hear it ? "nine years", he replied.

( i translated it myself so there’s maybe error in the translation sorry 🙏)

Reminder that Alex Turner knows about Milex fanfiction and had the most bizarro response when a journalist asked him about it. He said,

"I’ve been told about it… Stories where we slip into one another. Does One Direction have that? And who fucks who? They fuck all at once? And they don’t want to write stories where we fuck the One Direction? Like Cadbury who puts in the same packets Dairy Milk and Ritz crackers?”

Alex REALLY wanted for Miles to come to him at T in the Park 2011 (x)

[hesterias]

I feel like as a fandom we collectively forget about this moment and I’m here to remind everyone it exists and it happened.

Miles: I LOVE IT

Alex: You got old and wrinkled…

Miles: Shavambacuuuuu (🥺)

Alex: *giggles* … I stayed seventeen

Miles: Just youuuuu

Alex: You lusted after so many… *moves right in front of Miles* I stayed here with Wolverine (🥺)

Both: *stare longingly at each other*

Like???

So Miracle Aligner started when they were together....backs up my idea that it's a Milex song

How did I not know that Alex and Miles took a road trip to Coachella in 2014 which started EYCTE??

In this interview (at 06.00) they talk about driving into the desert listening to old TLSP stuff. Not only that, but Miracle Aligner was first strummed on that trip too!

Oh and there’s a good bit (at about 19.52) where Miles suggests covering ‘This is Hardcore’ by Pulp and Alex says, “I said that the other night at 4am - the coolest cover”. Aghytfhtfff! 😳

"Well, I'm Alex, from The Last Shadow Puppets, and I play the 'awoooo!'"

"And I'm Miles, from The Last Shadow Puppets, and I play the midnight moon"

[subtle-as-an-earthquake]

I nod along attentively, but the truth is, I can't concentrate

[last-shadow-puppet]

so i wanted a new icon and made these matching ones instead oops

[vanillacoke25]

this can't be a coincidence yall, i refuse to believe it is

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

“we don’t want to be known as the tank band”

[franklyimissparis]

rewatched the miracle aligner music video for the billionth time. still gay.

[blacklight-animal-print]

the moon has such importance in both of their songs as a missing-your-love/missing-how-it-used-to-be metaphor and also when they look at the moon they think about each other. by the way. if you even care.

Does anyone else watch the Martin interview for comfort?

[sophaeros]

“I said, ‘I’m gonna go and play ‘Town Called Malice’ over at the Fonda with Paul Weller’,” beams Kane. “’You don’t mind, do you? I’ll come in early tomorrow.’” “I said, ‘Where the hell are you going?’” Turner says. “’We’ve not finished yet!’ Turner then affects a hard-done-by house-husband tone. “I said, ’Oh, don’t worry about it: I’ll just be here.’”
