First in Post, First in your Hearts. I guess.

To begin, I would like to say that I have never blogged before. I used to think it was stupid, but now that I see a good majority of my friends have blogs, I'm gonna jump on the bandwagon. Hopefully, I don't fall off. 

ANYWAY! For my first post, here's Alex Turner (of Arctic Monkeys) and Miles Kane (of The Rascals) in their new band, The Last Shadow Puppets.

And here's their first video, for "The Age of the Understatement."



It's good, huh?

Fuckin' right it is.

wat a tender duet...i would say rudimentary at best.

That part with the chorus of Russian Soldier backing vocals was priceless. The song sounded like a more grand, weary Arctic Monkeys to me, but I wish it had a little more hooks rather than all that dense production.

It's nice to see Alex Turner trying his hand at a more ambitious sound, but I'm kind of thankful he relegated this to a side project. I think he's better at writing straight-up great rock and pop songs, and that's why he got so much out of a bare-bones approach on the Monkeys' first album.

Hmm... that's two posts on duet-ish side projects from stylish modern rock icons. Am I sensing a trend here? Could Babyshambles be next?
