miles rubbing comforting circles on alex’s shoulder after their emotionally charged final performance of eycte where they were both visibly in tears is just -

Alex does actually say 'Really' I may have invented the rest....

Thinking about when AM / TLSP have done cover versions, they use the original pronouns in the songs rather than adapt them. Specifically Love Machine, SOS, and You Know I’m No Good. There are probably more examples.

So many artists, particularly at that time, would routinely switch pronouns (eg so a man wouldn’t be singing about he or him because heaven forbid they sing the song as written!) but they didn’t.

Just a nice little observation.

alex + tambourine = true love

gosh there’s so much thought to spill about this one!! if any song were to be chosen to simulate the feel of a shiver, it’s this one hands down! love the biting growl of miles’ early solo voice going into tlsp. i’m a firm believer that miles’ experience/development with the rascals & flames completely coated the sound of al’s future work. the jump from wpsiatwin to fwn, upbeat and expected to this sudden eerie musical bend … sounds too familiar to be coincidental. i found it strange that al absorbed that sound for a huge tread of albums while miles injected it into taotu then grew to the liking of classic rock, pop, & alt (still never not yanking that whammy bar).

being in the 1% of Gas Dance fans makes me want to frolic through a cobbled town fanning out flyers to plain ones with these two zygotes’ song on it

Alex Turner & Miles Kane c. 2015

This picture has been stuck in my mind for a while, and I don't see it very often and I think it deserves to be seen by more people

Alex turner, the cutie.

i just think it's so fucking meaningful how we know alex hates in ear monitors and is always taking them off during the shows bc they bother him but then you may ask yourself why does he even goes through the trouble of putting them on anyway? and you remember that he has to bc it's up to him more than anyone else up there to ensure that everything is sailing smoothly so he begrudgingly accepts his fate. but THEN. you remember that during eycte he didn't wear his in ear monitors even once (1), when miles wore them for every single show, and you put together that this was alex (self proclaimed control freak) giving up half of the control and the responsibility to miles bc he can rely on him and felt comfortable trusting him to ensure that the show is going well. i bet that half the time he couldn't even hear what was going on up there but it didn't matter. the vibes were good and miles was happy so so was he! it wasn't a job, he must've been so relieved to not be the sole pilot of the ship and the main center of attention for a change, he'd just strut on stage to dance and sip his drink and be silly and cuddle his best friend. what a small but significant revelation

THE COMMENTS ON TLSP MUSIC VIDEOS ARE LITERALLY EVERYTHING HELP ME

[uhbasicallyjustmilex]

i love how journalists never ever call TLSP anything as normal as a side project. it’s always “dalliance” or “love affair” or “smutty in-joke”

An early example of the media playing down Miles' role in Alex's career.

I found this article from July 2007 about Johanna Bennett, Alex's girlfriend and co-writer of Fluorescent Adolescent. For a start the article is quite funny in that it claims FWN has songs inspired by Johanna (not an album known for its romance apart from Only Ones Who Know and 505), it also claims Alex doesn't write lyrics with anyone else. By this time he had written with Reverend and the Makers and most of all he was about to go off to France to record an album full of songs he'd written with Miles...

To me it's already setting Alex up as the romantic poet, an image he still finds hard to shrug off today
