BONUS:
they look A LOT like The Beatles here.

Band of the Week: The Last Shadow Puppets

2008, as we know it, has been a year of side projects and solo efforts. therefore, you may have overlooked the very cool collaboration project between Miles Kane of The Rascals and Alex Turner of the Arctic Monkeys. if this is the case, shame on you. they released their fantastic debut (The Age of the Understatement) in April, and have since released 3 amazing music videos to accompany their singles:

the age of understatement:


standing next to me (hello Beatles outfits =)):


and, my personal favourite: my mistakes were made for you:



remember, a lot of times a band is hyped because they MAKE GOOD MUSIC.

don't believe me?

listen below:

TLSP - SOS (Rihanna cover) [mp3]
so so so so good. I can't emphasize how good this is. it's amazing how they can turn a song I hate into one I love.

TLSP - In the heat of the morning (Bowie cover) [mp3]
also an excellent cover. I am heavily biased in favour of Bowie, Alex, Miles and other fabulous British musicians

TLSP - My Mistakes Were Made for You (live on Jools Holland) [mp3]

TLSP - Calm Like You (album version) [mp3]

I would say more about this spectacular band but a.their music speaks for itself and b. I am incredibly tired and have loads of work to do.

enjoy.

new video: The Last Shadow Puppets - My Mistakes were made for you

I love Miles at 1:18. that nod is so very mafia muahaha
they look quite in their prime in the gazebo

for "Standing Next to Me":



they look great, as always =)

the Sex Pistols denied their punk-ness. wow, I don't know what to say. I've always associated the Pistols with Punk. now I have to redefine my entire existence.

there isn't very much new music news on a Sunday morning, so I'll just introduce a cool indie band I like, Oh No! Oh My!, from Texas. visit them on MYSPACE

they're working on a new record right now, so they probably won't be touring for another few months

Oh No! Oh My! - Walk in the Park [mp3]

also, some appropriate VU:
Velvet Underground - Sunday Morning [mp3]

the last shadow puppets

in case you've had a deficiency of sexy awesomeness in your life, take heed of this new supergroup comprised of Alex Turner from the Arctic Moneys and Miles Kane from the Rascals. I remember when I first heard about these guys about a month ago, I went bonkers. I ADORE ALEX TURNER. and Miles is pretty cool too. they performed for the first time March 4th in Brooklyn. anyhow, their record is titled "The Age Of The Understatement" and is due out for a April 21st release in the UK and a May 6th US release. knowing these two talented bastards makes me confident that said album will rock your socks off. so let's engage in some positive materialism and support these talented blokes!

here's their single:
